  1. More tragic news for the Music Industry

    That was a great moment in South Park.
  2. MTV at 30

    I didn't watch it too much in the 80s, I waited until HS and college in the 90s (when I got cable in my room instead of having to watch it in the kitchen...before that I mostly watched the network TV I could get over the air in my room). Does anyone remember the Meatloaf invasion? Not an hour would go by without "Anything for Love" playing on it, VH1, or both. I once literally turned from MTV, which was 1/2 way thru it, to VH1 to see it had just started!! NOOO!!!!!! However, Beavis and Butthead is coming back! The kids of today aren't any smarter than they were 15 years ago, and I've missed Judge's great satire.
  3. Upgraded Indian AF MiG-29B - First Pic!

    Perhaps they made 2 submissions originally, and later pulled the 35/AE as not yet mature enough.
  4. Doesn't the stock F-15 in Europe have TWS? Why wouldn't the Tomcat?
  5. RED TAILS looks awesome! for me to poop on

    This is a trailer. For all we know, we've just seen 50% of the action in the film right there. It's happened before and it will again. The Cylon god said so. Just like a book, a film can't be properly judged by a 30 second blurb.
  6. US National debt (in graphic form)

    BTW, in case anyone was wondering, I saw a breakdown of who owns the debt last week. The number 1 owner of US debt: Americans. Between individuals, hedge/brokerage/all that crap funds, and corporations, far more than 50% of the debt belongs right here in the USA. That means we're borrowing from ourselves to pay ourselves so we don't have to pay ourselves?
  7. More tragic news for the Music Industry

    That begs the question: Can the soulless ever be truly called "alive"?
  8. IL2 Cliffs of Dover status ?

    Wait, so by WWII the Victorian era was over?!?!? Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
  9. Upgraded Indian AF MiG-29B - First Pic!

    Wait, that says MRCA, isn't that the competition for the new planes that is down to Rafale and Typhoon now?
  10. I guess the economics of this thing escapes me as I can't figure out how adding a cockpit to an AI plane would cost significantly more than anything he's done so far, especially as A-6A cockpit did exist for WOV and would just need to be refined a bit. Right now my guess is these DLC are being done in the expectation that most people will only buy a fraction of them, as at this rate to buy every DLC would be the equivalent of buying an expansion but it will offer less brand new content than an expansion would. Instead it seems to be for mod-averse people that really like the Mirage III or F-4 so are interested in getting another variant, and expectations would be low for many to get all of them. I guess it's better than just soliciting donations, though, as you are getting something in return for your money instead of just a promise for further development like some places have done...and then folded anyway (you know who you are)! To use an analogy though, it seems to me like TK started selling people a case of beer for $30, then he added the choice of a 6-pack for $20, and now he's selling it by the can for $5. It's the same good stuff he's had all along, we're just reaching diminishing returns in value. Actually, the expansions at regular price are $25 for 3 new planes ie Mystere IVA, Meteor F.8, and P-51D Mustang, so that's $8.33/plane or almost exactly what ROF charges. So to charge say $6 for just a cockpit to an existing plane and make it flyable, when the work on the rest is done, seems reasonable. SF2:E gives you 8 planes for $30, though, so it's literally $5/plane there if you exclude the new theater it included which had to cost more to make than any plane. I'm just one customer, however, so my opinion counts for little in the large scheme. All I can do is hope he releases stuff that interests me at a price I find acceptable and then support in that way.
  11. Norway capital Oslo bombed

    Is that what they do in Norway? Here you'd just learn to argue your point over and over again, negating the other guy's, never agreeing to a compromise so that everything comes to a standstill, and then try to paint it as noble because you "stuck to your principles."
  12. Norway capital Oslo bombed

    Considering Hitler Youth was right wing, it just shows how ridiculous the Becks of the world are. He should have brought up Stalin's group, what was it, Young Octobrists? At least they were left wing.
  13. Every new patch (or DLC) will overwrite the .ini files for all stock planes. Any modded stock planes will have to be reinstalled post-patch unless you back up the folders pre-patch. That's my SOP, but on occasion modded .ini files are based on outdated .inis and you'll need to mod a newer one.
  14. Fubar512

    It was suspended on a string.
  15. And she is down for the last time...

    Similarly, the F-14 tooling was ordered destroyed to keep that from being built again.
  16. OT 2 Questions that have no answers...

    The answer my friend is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind
  17. Norway capital Oslo bombed

    Norway never had need of a law to deal with something like this before.
  18. Well, let's face it, TK is the only small flight sim dev with his own engine. After that you go up to ROF, which started with Il-2 itself but was able to move to their own after they had enough resources. Gaijin used Il-2 as well for Birds/Wings of Prey/Luftwaffe. Flex and AD's Combat Helo is using an existing engine, modifying it for themselves. Oh, there's Dante and JT, I think they're using an in-house engine there.
  19. Amy Winehouse... Dead

    When they all died at 27 (don't forget Kurt Cobain as well, although he was a drug-induced suicide) due to drugs, it's natural to compare them. Comparing them to people like John Lennon or Buddy Holly who died other ways or ages makes less sense.
  20. Fubar512

    Are they African or European?
  21. It will be good to see someone other than TK tackling the Vietnam theater.
  22. No, that's called African democracy.
  23. Jersey in a Heat Wave

    Yes, that's why I live in Florida. It's only 88 here.
  24. Norway capital Oslo bombed

    Over 5 dead now, maybe 7. Was this another "we'll kill innocents to demonstrate our resolve" idiocy?
