Take your rudder value and add 1, then divide by 2. That will give you a 0-1 range. :)

:probe: HAIL!

Looks like my yard work isn't getting done this afternoon :) Thank you David!

Maybe he is just using the camera as a telescope to get a better view?

HyperDart is technically still under development, but RL has been kicking my butt lately :) Once the load at work calms down I'll be back working on the Dart and the FLD-5

I may just do that :) I scavenged a bit of time the other night and decided to play around with this project a bit. After sitting down and looking at code I decided I wasn't in the mood for that ;) So, I decided to do a quick and dirty multistage build of the titan. It came out pretty nice...

Just joined. I'll be heading from KMRB (Martinsburg, WV, USA) in a DC-3. I'll be leaving sometime this afternoon and will leave fsx running as much as possible.

I spent a little time working on my Titan III. I've got a full stack now :) Textures are still a wip, but the basics are there. I've been digging through the Atlantis source a bit exploring how it works, and it seems doable with my abilities, I just have to give it a try :) I'd like the whole...

I'm running Russian heavies (Love my KV with 107 :) ) and I've almost unlocked the IS. I also have a su-85 that is a few games away from unlocking the 107 (this is where I spent CBT), i need one more radio to elite my Leopard, and I'm also working an easy 8. As you can see I'm all over the...

I play RoF, WoT, and Arma2. I've bought most of the add on planes of RoF and some of the addons for Arma2. If I was more into Arma, I wouldn't think twice about getting more of them. World of Tanks is my big timesink now :) And, yes, I support them through purchases Overall i think this is a...

2020-ish - China has built its small space station, everyone congratulates them and moves on. China continues with manned launches to the station over the next few years. A few years later, China launches a rocket with a large "orbit maintenance booster" as its payload and docks with their...

That seems to be the general consensus. I'm not an aerospace engineer by any means, I thought the craft looked cool and I found a ton of documentation on the wind tunnel studies: http://contrails.iit.edu/resources/BiblioGraphySearch3.asp?lineNumber=42 It appears to me that the idea is to fly...

Its has been a while since I had time to work on the FDL-5, stupid world of tanks ;) anyway, I coded the gear animations, and reworked the nose gear doors on the 3D model since I never liked the big door that followed the nose strut. It now opens sideways. I also added hinge detail to the...

Looks like Ark hit it on the nose, at least according to this article: http://www.armytimes.com/news/2011/05/army-mission-helocopter-was-secret-stealth-black-hawk-050411/ A blackhawk with applique stealth panels over the airframe :) *edit* Here is a speculative sketch I just found...

Of the ones listed I use FSX the most. mainly because of all the add-ons I have, extra planes, enhanced scenery, etc. I've really been enjoying soaring in it lately with the addition of cumilusX and aerotow, both available through SOAR. I love a nice relaxing flight in my aerosoft Catalina...

I wouldn't doubt the Icarus was based on the FDL studies. Although 1968 wasn't that long after they were being done. I'm not sure when they were declassified. Nice find with the heating of the FDL-7, my HyperDart is based on that design. I'll have to check out my hull heating code and see...

AxerTan is correct. It for the thrust vectoring. I haven't read a lot about it yet, but it appears that they inject fluid into the thrust chamber that creates shock waves that vector the plume. Cool stuff, eventually I want to read more about how it works.

Got time to do a little more work on the FDL-5. I originally planned to do this like the HyperDart, a modern take on an old design, but as I thought about it I thought it would be cooler to do it full 60's tech :) So I started building out the VC. Overview of the cockpit. It is cramped...

I had seen this when researching the HyperDart (based on the FDL-7) and put it in the back of my mind for another day, well the great work I saw on the MiG-105 brought it back up near the front. While checking out images, mostly one model of it...not much out there, I stumbled across a bunch of...

Step through the black and white graphic at the end, right before the "FH" logo and it clearly shows the silhouette of three boosters strapped together with 9 engines across the bottom of the three. There is also a fairing much wider than the center rocket section. Yup, it is gonna be big...
