That makes zero sense if they were signed on for a trilogy from the start.

I once had heatstroke on a trip to the zoo when I was a teenager. It was a very hot and humid day in Miami and I felt light headed and nauseous. Then I noticed everything got VERY bright because my pupils actually dilated, and I almost fell over. The funny part was I stopped feeling overheated when it happened.

Some planes have OBOGS, others still have LOX bottles. It depends on the plane and the model.

I can't believe someone re-recorded this song from South Park! I like it better when Butters sings it, though.

Well, you'd assume all air bases and refineries would be targets so where would the fuel and ammo and airframes come from?

Let's take a 5 minute break. Smoke 'em if you got 'em...

Having just watched Spaced on DVD after its final release here I was quite amused!

DCS and LOMAC have totally different terrain areas, so the chances of that are nil unless the terrain for one was imported into the other.

Starforce cannot be a virus, for by definition a virus spreads to other PCs without you actively telling it to. I suppose it might be called "malware" by some definitions, however, as I believe that is defined as "software you don't want that causes unexpected consequences."

As far as prices go, all I can say is--NEVER go after 6PM to a movie. NEVER. It's just a great way of throwing money down the drain. You get nothing over seeing the film in the afternoon. I liked this film. The fact that this starts fresh without invalidating anything that came before is a smart way to go. When Pine and Quinto and Nimoy showed up on SNL this weekend, I was very surprised. I was rolling when Nimoy called all the fans that hated the new film "dickheads."

Many, many miles. I forget exactly. This launch sucked from a local perspective...very hazy and lots of light cloud obscured the view. Of course the feed on NASA TV looked 100x better!

Beware using any other mods with NF1/4 for it was designed to "stand alone". Not to say you can't add other planes, terrains, ground units, weapons, etc, just that it's trickier than with a stock game to do so without the mod, the thing you add, or both breaking in the process.

Actually, I ask that he win the lottery so he can retire and dedicate himself to making planes like this full time.

Depends on the range and size of the target.

So, will he face more time for the bank robbery or having the AK?

That was dropped. That was the original plan when the game was called Knights of the Sky, but they've made many changes since then.

I remember a semi-platformer Blue Max game from the mid-80s that had little to do with WWI other than you being in a literally blue biplane.

However, I believe when you create missions you can override the default loadouts. I know I have DL'd several off the net where Su-33s are carrying R-77s.

Personally I'd opt for a faster dual core CPU for the equivalent price. A slower quad-core won't give you any benefit in most programs right now.

That's because like the F-111 the main gear door is the speedbrake.

Again, though, other than engine management (which many other sims already have) there's nothing different about that. Maybe some of the details of WWI engine management are new, but the rest of it is technique, not technical. I'm not saying they're not doing new things, or that it's not worth doing, or difficult to do. I'm saying a lot of this stuff has to be generic and applicable to any plane in the sim and including only 2 seems more like a ploy designed to make people pay more for more planes over anything else. One plane at a time for DCS or F4 (before it went under) makes perfect sense. For any WWII or WWI-era plane it really isn't defensible. The only WWII study sim I ever had was B-17, and thanks to the Norden sight and controlling 4 engines and multiple turrets it really was complex and worth it.

Pathetic. Other "lesser" devs have released MULTIPLE games in this time period.

Sure, sims like F4 and Flanker and Black Shark where there's a lot to learn about that plane. However, there's not to much to learn about a SPAD or a Sopwith. You have an engine, stick, rudder, and MGs (maybe small dumb bombs). Flying and gunnery are the only things to learn, as in depth as they may be. You have to learn those same things to the same degree in Black Shark, plus you have things like the avionics, countermeasures, weapons that aren't guns, etc. In short, the developers by necessity have to put a lot more effort into modeling just one plane if it's a post-50's model compared to post-WWII and earlier. So while I can accept a study sim of just an F-4 or any contemporary or later airplane, I find it hard to swallow when it's got no radar, no NAV, no radio, no missiles, no ECM, simple engines, not even retractable landing gear. What exactly are they putting all their time into? Frankly, no home PC can truly model a damaged WWI bird with ripped fabric anyway, the equations are too complex and need to be approximated.

Red Wings Over Europe would make me very happy.

*backs away slowly from C5* So...now I recognize that smell...
