If you have a firewall, either software on your comps or hardware ( a router for example), you have to create a virtual server to allow the server to use the port 14342 to send data through it to clients. btw, you have to use the local IP of your comp, not the one provided by your ISP. cheers, Jan

Note that Turkish are using the word "terrorists" when they are talking about PKK, a word carefully avoided by the Turkic's "allies". I wonder how many Turkish casualties need the Coalition to react.

hello guys, as far as i know, if a classification would have been possible, there would be more whale still alive in the South Atlantic cheers, Jan

Hello guys, some food for thoughts about the Phoenix vs agile targets. in 8 years of aerial war, around 76 AIM-54 were fired by Iranian Tomcats and about 65 hits were scored. Most of their confirmed victims being MiG-23 (13), MiG-25 (12), Mirage F.1 (10), MiG-21 (9), Tu-22 (5), MiG-27 (2), Super Entendard (1). ( Source: Air Combat Information Group - Arabian Peninsula & Persian Gulf Database ) I wonder if the shot down pilots wouldn't have survived if they would have over estimated a bit more the Phoenix About the CW era air wing vs the 21st Century air wing debate, in my humble opinion, it would end in a draw, the lack of specialization of the today's air wing being compensated by the availability of the true force multipliers which are the more efficient avionic ( simply think about the Link 16 for example) and more advanced weapons. take care, Jan

here is a series of request that combine to finally obtain a "Fuel Range check" sheet. One still have to export it it excel and create the formulas to calculate the fuel range and then compare it with the weapon's range but, well, at least all figures are centralized on one single sheet. QueryList_WeaponEngine SELECT t2Weapon.ID, t2Weapon.Name, t2Weapon.Designation, t2Weapon.MaxLaunchRange, t2WeaponEngines.ItemID FROM t2Weapon INNER JOIN t2WeaponEngines ON t2Weapon.ID = t2WeaponEngines.ID; QueryList_WeaponEngine_CruiseSpeed SELECT QueryList_WeaponEngine.ID, QueryList_WeaponEngine.Name, QueryList_WeaponEngine.Designation, QueryList_WeaponEngine.MaxLaunchRange, t2PropulsionAltSpd.Speed FROM t2PropulsionAltSpd INNER JOIN QueryList_WeaponEngine ON t2PropulsionAltSpd.ID = QueryList_WeaponEngine.ItemID WHERE (((t2PropulsionAltSpd.Throttle)=2)); (Throttle 2 is cruise speed) QueryList_WeaponEngine_Speed_Fuel SELECT QueryList_WeaponEngine_CruiseSpeed.*, t2WeaponFuel.ItemID FROM t2WeaponFuel INNER JOIN QueryList_WeaponEngine_CruiseSpeed ON QueryList_WeaponEngine_CruiseSpeed.ID = t2WeaponFuel.ID; QueryList_WeaponEngine_Speed_Capacity SELECT QueryList_WeaponEngine_Speed_Fuel.ID, QueryList_WeaponEngine_Speed_Fuel.Name, QueryList_WeaponEngine_Speed_Fuel.Designation, QueryList_WeaponEngine_Speed_Fuel.MaxLaunchRange, QueryList_WeaponEngine_Speed_Fuel.Speed, t2Fuel.Capacity FROM t2Fuel INNER JOIN QueryList_WeaponEngine_Speed_Fuel ON QueryList_WeaponEngine_Speed_Fuel.ItemID = t2Fuel.ID; cheers, Jan

Hello Brad, there's no more differences mentioned in Jane's Naval Weapon Systems publications. hope it helps, Jan

as published in The Naval SITREP, issue #6, in January 1996

hello Pooners, here's a very simple request but that can safe your life when your are playing an game with weapons that you don't know: QueryList_WeaponsLaunchParams SELECT t2Weapon.ID, t2Weapon.Name, t2Weapon.Designation, t2Weapon.MinLaunchRange, t2Weapon.MaxLaunchRange, t2Weapon.MinLaunchSpeed, t2Weapon.MaxLaunchSpeed, t2Weapon.MinLaunchAlt, t2Weapon.MaxLaunchAlt, t2Weapon.TextRef FROM t2Weapon; cheers, Jan

i was reading some old Naval SITREP issue when i noticed that Web Alert in the Issue #11 ( April 1997 ): The link quoted is dead but, the Net being full of good surprises, i found it mirror-hosted on a related website. Here is the url of the appealing tutorial: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/e...ry/ewtutor1.htm enjoy the read, Jan

i'm wondering what is the part of truth in the soviet "high failure rate" myth? Like their western counterpart, the soviet forces prepositioned in eastern Europe maintained an high readiness state. That myth is even more easily accepted due to the fate of the soviet union but isn't the History is full of example of efficient military tools that have defeated by their own political authorities? cheers, Jan

i hope so! by the way, you are welcome Pete.

hello pooners, by searching a file on the hard disk where i stock all my archives, i noticed two pdf enigmatically named "np4" and "np20". My natural curiosity helping, the files were opened before i even asked myself what could been those files. the titles soon appeared so much attractive that i decided to share them with you but after a search on Google i noticed that these files were not available online anymore so i uploaded them to allow you to enjoy what seems to be a very interesting for any alternate modern military history enthusiast here they are: Global War Game: The First Five Years Global War Game: Second Series, 1984-1988 Naval War College's Global War Game their respective former url were: http://www.nwc.navy.mil/press/npapers/np4/np4.pdf http://www.nwc.navy.mil/press/npapers/np20/NP20.pdf here are also two interesting websites: Ubersite - Global Thermonuclear War Scenario http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jans_fiction/ (i'm not involved in it) hope that you'll appreciate it as much than i have, cheers, Jan

good work Pete!

excellent read, thanks for sharing it Pete! cheers, Jan
