What features are missing from 2.0 that were so great in 1.12? AMRAAM now has the correct burn time, speed (in 1.12 it was 1000kts too slow), seeker head FOV (it was 180 degrees in 1.12) and it's now resistant to chaff and can be beamed just like a real missile. How about the russian ET, which is IR homing and was able to be launch overridden and had twice the kill ratio of AMRAAM or Adder? That wasn't realistic either. How about all active missiles will track below 10 meters now. No more flying over the ocean to your target not being able to be hit with a missile. How about you can choose the realistic choice of a bird strike if you insist on flying too low, you can lose an engine. That's two things fixed regarding the old 1.12 10 meter exploit. Sidewinder now has the correct range. Before if you didn't fire within 2 miles it was useless. No one carried them. How about being able to choose PRF (pulse repetition frequency) on the F15? That was absent in 1.12. How about being able to fly straight and level towards an incoming missile and just by dropping chaff you wouldn't be hit. There's a video of someone dodging 8 120's in a row using that tactic. That was a 1.12 "feature". It's gone now. How about all the jets now have realistic engine performance and turn rates? In 1.12 you couldn't fly an F-15 at 40k feet unless you used afterburner, it would drop out of the sky. Mig's were able to supercruise in 1.12. That's been fixed. Mig had the worst turn rate in the game in 1.12. Not so in 2.0. Missile seeker heads for all missiles have FOV tweaked as well as fuze radius. In 1.12 I often had missiles come so close that they'd pass within 5 feet of my canopy. That "feature" has been corrected. Some players online used to tweak the LOD's and their view files so they had tally on bandits at 30 miles (that's not a typo). Now that's not possible cuz the jets visibility is tied to the advanced haze. That exploit has been corrected. I could go on and on but I've flown the heck out of 2.0 since it was released and the above issues were evident the first few hours in the pit. I went 13:3 in the 104th server over 2 nights and only twice did the fight go WVR. In 1.12 WVR was the only way you could kill a bandit unless he was stupid and flew straight at you. 2.0 is conducive to flying and fighting with real tactics. 2.0 is more realistic on and offline than 1.12 ever was.

Wait till you see the systems modeling now. They've changed some things and added some things and now BVR is how most fights end up. No more dodging the majority of missiles when you're inside NEZ.

Don't burn them as an ISO. They're a self installer. If you don't have a burning program just use the one that comes stock with Windows.

My whole squadron had no issues installing. You've got to remember something, when you buy new hardware and use new software you can expect to have issues. Especially when the game looks fine on your older card. And let's face it, ATI has been slow with driver releases and they often release with drivers that are broken in some games.

Make sure you remove the stock in game mappings (the column that represents your joystick) when using joystick software. That should make things a bit easier.

Do you have full shadows turned on in your game? If so, put them to all planar. Full shadows are broken, see if that fixes things.

It's still not worth the $7.50.

That's not what the back of his shirt said...........it said I AM A MOTHER*****R.

Gotta love EBM (Epic Beard Man). Amber Lamps FTW!!!

We can carry open in Arizona, and have a handgun (loaded) underneath a seat, in the console or glove box if it's in a holster or scabbard. Then there's the CCW laws where you can carry anywhere concealed if you have a permit.

There are many people who can't afford full coverage insurance. How do they replace their vehicle? Additionally, my truck is low mileage for it's age ('01) but I guarantee you that if I was to be paid off by the insurance company I wouldn't get the true value of the vehicle out of it.

Do the research for yourself, make your own decisions. Don't let some chicken***t try to tell you how and what you should feel about firearms, protection or for that matter anything else. I lean as far left as I do to the right so I don't really fit into any one category. However, I believe in true freedom without intervention from the "man". That includes abortion (which isn't the business of any man) saving the whales, not clearcutting trees, not polluting the environment. I also believe we should be able to own whatever firearm we like and we should be allowed to hang horse thieves (or car thieves) just like the good ol days. The first couple dozen you hang send a message to the rest that their life isn't worth the price of the vehicle they stole. Imagine how low our car insurance would be if this was the case.

You can bet that had you followed that advice and found yourself in trouble he'd have denied, denied, denied he ever said it.

That's the worst idea I've heard in a long time. Modern forensics can tell if you fake a crime scene. Which knife are you gonna put in their hand? One of the set that's in your kitchen? If you wanna go to jail and be charged with murder you should do exactly what that cop said.

The one piece of legal advice I can give is this: Do not run off at the mouth after a shooting. The only thing you should keep repeating is that you were in fear for your life. Tell the police you're too upset to discuss what happened and lawyer up ASAP.

There are several problems with your statement. When someone is inside your house unlawfully how do you know if he's there to steal? How do you know if he's there to rape or kill you and your family? Are you going to ask 20 questions? I used a firearm and deadly force as a teenager. I don't want to talk much about it but needless to say he was armed and I didn't feel it was necessary to ask him anything. Trust me when I say this, when you meet someone face to face in your home that doesn't belong there you don't have time to ask anything. And if we're going to simplify the terms, yes I believe someone in your home stealing whatever should be punishable by death. But only if it's at the hands of the homeowner. He/she should be given much leeway regarding self protection. Thankfully the state I live in doesn't expect you to flee your home. There are some that do and you can tell which ones they are by the lack of CCW permits or open carry and draconian firearm ownership laws. Kennesaw, Georgia has a law in place that says every home shall have a firearm. The crime rate has dropped and stayed dropped some 25+ years later. It ain't hard to figure out, no one in their right mind goes into a house knowing the homeowner might kill him. That's deterrent enough for most.

There is so much wrong with what you've posted Eraser that I don't even know where to start. Let me interject that I was a Concealed Carry Instructor for the state of Arizona for many years and I have knowledge of what is and is not legal. That being said your comment about arson is incorrect. I don't know where you get your info but I recommend going elsewhere. As for the way liberals are visualized by someone who leans the other direction, well that's just how it is. You can thank your tree hugging bretheren for the continuation of that stereotype. Most of the liberals I know are scared of a firearm just by the fact it's a firearm. It's an irrational fear IMHO. They don't fear a knife, a gallon of gasoline or an automobile and those things are just inanimate objects just like a firearm is. And all can be used with great success to kill or maim another person. You also eschew the "wild west" mentality. I think you may have taken too many Hollywood westerns as fact. First off, an armed society is a polite society. I saw this in action at least 9x a month at the shooting leagues that I attended. There were disagreements and genuine hate between some of the participants. But not one person ever pulled out his firearm in an argument or disagreement. Because everyone else was armed as well. That ol' self preservation instinct really does work. Heck, I had a husband/wife team that hated me because my shooting shirt had my nickname (Ruggbutt) on it. They prolly didn't like that fact that I had long hair down to my waist either. But they left me alone and I ignored them because it wasn't worth the hassle. Or the gunfight. And as Dave has pointed out you'll find that in public that people acting poorly often change their tune when someone slaps leather. I had an ex g/f who sent two guys to beat me down one night. I was maybe 160 lbs. soaking wet and they were both big guys well over 200. Once John Moses Browning's legacy (1911A1) showed up both gentlemen decided that maybe they should find a different vocation. This happened at 2 a.m. (after the club shut down) and in the parking lot of my apartment complex. No one else was around but me and my Colt Commander and it saved me a lot of pain. I've held armed burglars at gunpoint as well, until the cops came. Said burgler was willing to shoot it out till he saw my ACOG scoped HBAR and realized he wasn't going to win. Phoenix P.D. showed up and took him away and thanked me for my help. Thank god he or his partner decided that they didn't want a piece of me, cuz at one point as his partner was reaching for a pistol under the seat the safety came off. I was taken aback by the fact that burgler number two was going to make me kill him. I would have in a heartbeat, but when I told him just to take a quick peek out of the rear window of the truck he saw that daddy was full on serious and the bad guy made the right decision. None of this would have happened had I not been strapped. In those two instances all 4 people acted politely. Granted, they did so at the end of my muzzle but can you imagine how things would have turned out differently had I just been standing there, all alone. God didn't create everyone equal, but Sam Colt made them equal. What's going on in the UK is terrible and there are many of the same things going on here in the states. People going to jail for protecting their property or their lives. It sucks. Thankfully more and more states are adopting concealed carry and are amending their laws allowing citizens to protect themselves. When I was teaching I was proud that I had a large percentage of female students. Word gets out quickly when you're "chick friendly". I taught a whole bunch of women how to protect themselves and gave them the knowledge they needed to avoid a situation where they might need a firearm in the first place. I'm not sure where you live Eraser, but here in Arizona it's very easy to be righteous if you have to drop the hammer on a bad guy.

What the above story tells me is that if I'm ever in the UK and I have to hurt or kill someone in self defense then the best thing for me to do is to leave the scene immediately, followed by leaving the country. There's no reason to be law abiding when the courts won't allow it.

I'm proud of the Taliban, standing and fighting like that. I'm sure that the offensive forces are willing to help them to visit allah. Even the Germans got involved as they typically have taken a "hell no we won't go" stance in the middle east as of late. The taliban remind me of ants. You can't tell them to not invade your home, there's no reasoning with them. There's only you and them. And one has to go. The only thing you can do is kill them. And since I happen to like the people of the offensive forces I vote for death for the taliban. Just like the ants.

I used to think like that. Till I bought CH. Been going strong for close to 6 years now and I have 5 CH controllers. Software is unbeatable and I doubt I'll ever switch to something else.

It prolly isn't paint, more likely it's a vinyl decal. Either way, that's several grand worth of vinyl.

I had a Vertibird Coast Guard Rescue Ship. I could fly the heck out of that thing an pick up just about anything with it.

I remember every time I got out of hand I got spanked. That fixed that and I never pulled that particular stunt again. It's time for parents to provide a little corporal punishment again without fear of having their kids taken away.

I remember doing a talent show in the 4th grade, we did a bit to the Marine Corps Hymn. We had plastic M1 Garand rifles that shot red plastic "bullets". I had all the cool GI Joe stuff for the 12" action figures, not the little ones. I used to build models of WWII aircraft and armor. We used to point anything we had at our buddies and say "bang". We never did that with our BB guns. We never did either. And many of us had rifles or shotguns in racks in our pickup trucks in high school. I had a Colt Python under seat of my 4x4. At 16. No shootings and if there was a problem us boys fought. And usually after the fact we'd end up being friends. We also said the Pledge of Allegiance and if we messed up we could end up in the Dean's office waiting for the business end of a paddle. I'm class of '82 and we weren't politically correct. We also weren't wusses like many of today's high school kids.
