I saw a write up on it in one of the USAF pubs, I can't remember which. It was sitting on a table on top of other issues! They got a lot of help from the USMC in making it. It was written by the character that Bacon plays.

It would work IF no one else did either. The problem is many others do keep talking to them.

Actually, that's not too bad. I mean, it's like calling an F/A-18E an F/A-18C or vice versa. However, it was announced a few years ago that Clancy had sold his name to them 100% and would have no further input at all in their future releases. Besides, in The Bear and the Dragon he made mistakes of his own, like saying the Apache had a 20mm chaingun!

I hadn't heard the Gorshkov was renamed Vikramaditya. At least that's a 3rd name! The odd thing is how many old carrier names we don't reuse. There's no CVN Langley, Saratoga, Ranger, etc.

It totally bombed. They didn't screen it for critics, either, which means the studio had no confidence in it. I also never recall seeing a single ad for it, so they didn't spend on promotion!

I've never seen an airliner that didn't dip just slightly on one side when ditching. Even if one engine had hit the water first it could've cartwheeled. It really was amazing flying with a healthy dose of good luck!

We should officially tell NK we don't care about them anymore and we refuse to talk to them, and no one else should either!

Is Russia looking more at ground attack secondary while India is thinking of it primary then? With planes like the Mirage 2000 and Su-30 I don't think India really needs to worry about the AA side as much, anyway. Multirole/ground attack is where the older planes are at.

So it's going to be called the Vikrant? Has every Indian carrier been named Vikrant or Viraat? I mean, I'm sure you want to keep some names in use for tradition sake, but it does seem to be a little repetitive to use the same 2 names only!

Right, a change in .ini's isn't a major thing, I just figured some of the planes would be a little wonky with the latest patch without them. I've not patched my NF1/2 install yet for that very reason.

I installed (onto my pre-Exp Pack install, to clarify) some terrains and tons of planes like the early war stuff TK skipped over. He focused on 1917-18, but the air war started in 1915 and there was a lot happening in 1916, so you don't want to miss those! There's no all-in-ones like NF or ODS for FE though. Closest is probably Firecage's campaigns that require a ton of planes and such to be installed manually, one at a time. Then you have peter01's new FMs.

I think it's in the boneyard in AZ, so who knows?

For stealth you want as many edges to align as you can to minimize the number of directions radar returns are reflected. You'll notice the leading edges of wings and stabs are the same angle, the trailing edges are the same angle, and panels and doors and even the cockpit may have their edges aligned that way. I think the ideal is to have only 4 "spikes" at like 2, 4, 8, and 10 o'clock (or roughly at those bearings).

To be clear, this list is in addition to what's already in NF1/2, correct? Will there be updates to those planes' .inis for the new patch? Or is NF3 going to be a total redo with NF1/2 out?

GFWL is just a nightmare. MS tried to make a competitor to Steam but is nowhere near there yet. The usage of BOTH by some games is just baffling. It should only be one or the other. I don't like the idea of having to buy more planes. I don't mind the expansion pack model, where you pay some amount and you get a batch of planes and maybe new terrain to go with it, but I don't want to be nickel-and-dimed to death with tons of separate planes. How many will the original release let you fly?

Striker... Striker Striker Striker Striker Striker Striker STRIKER!! Ted Striker?

I remember Joe Piscopo doing his Paul Harvey bit on SNL...25 years ago when he was already old!

I think it's because the benefits don't justify the costs or other adverse results. Someone COULD make an FSW fighter, it just hasn't been proven to be the best idea yet. For that matter, VG wings have many positives, but after a brief flirtation with them for just over a generation, no new VG plane has entered service since...the Tu-160 maybe? I forget which is the most recent, it probably isn't the B-1B. Then it seemed like the canard + delta configuration was the new rage, from the Gripen and Rafale through Tyhpoon and J-10, but the newest planes like the F-22 and F-35 have ignored that.

The only issue with the Yak-130 pic is the An-2 in the background ruins the scale (should be smaller at that distance) as does the tarmac. No runway is made of stones the size of books. The 1:10 MiG-29 is unreal!

The days when I had to worry about whether or not a store would get a game I wanted are long gone. The last time I wanted one and it was sold out was UT2k4 on its release! I have preordered a few games without discounts since then, but none recently. The only preorders I do now are if I want the game badly enough to get it on release and they have a discount for preorders, like Valve will do with their own stuff on Steam. For example, I preordered FC2 so I got it for $45 instead of $50. I did not preorder FEAR2 since there was no discount. I'm busy with other stuff now, so I'll just buy it when I'm ready to play it or when I see a sale (like I got STALKER Clear Sky for $30 a couple of months before I was ready to start just because of the sale).

Nothing much so far. I've seen a few updates on Blue's News and elsewhere, but all pretty much variations on the original release: game has new (updated?) engine first part of game is old Butcher Bay redone second part is new series of levels I can't remember anything beyond that!

There's no reason or need for that software if you only want to use it as another drive. The software can be useful for other things, like "one touch backup" or restoring images or what not, but it absolutely should work without it.

I remember either John Lennon or Paul McCartney stated the Beatles NEVER played while high because "you'll sound like crap." They would write the initial passes of songs while high, then polish them up and play them later when straight again. In other words, it was great for the initial ideas, but you can't be "professional" when high which is what a good song requires for polishing up. As for the CA get together, I won't be going anywhere until my daughter is at least a couple of years old! She's not ready for travel and the wife won't accept me going off by myself while she has to stay home with her. I've been around people who drink many times, I just don't like it when they get drunk.

It wasn't in the Bond film, rather a boat was created for the film that looked like it.

You can move the Documents folder to another location/drive if you want. Just right click on "Documents" and go to the "location" tab. You'll see the path there. Type in a new path and click "move..." and it will move the directory for you. If you've got that much in it, be prepared for it to take some time, though!
