TK's sims are like USNF, actually. The spiritual successor, if you will. All radars basically the same aside from range, simple targeting commands, forgiving FMs, etc.

Hot Shots was a great send up. The plane with the car alarm kills me every time.

I'd reseat the mobo and make sure there's no inadvertent grounding going on. A piece of the case sticking up where it shouldn't maybe. A spot where the case has something OTHER than ground, maybe one of the wires for the lights is touching the case? Frankly, since you've replaced everything else I WOULD replace the case.

Half a bee, philosophically, must ipso facto half not be But half the bee has got to be Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see? But can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee, When half the bee is not a bee, due to some ancient injury?

Well if all the programmers and minds behind it are gone, what does that leave? An idea? New programmers will have to start from scratch with piles of code and notes to pore over. You can pretty much bet the next title, whenever it comes, will be: 1. Lesser than what came before, until they get at least a couple of releases under their belts 2. Likely "reimagined" into who knows what the marketing guys think will be best, regardless of what the community itself wants

You guys are lucky! If it was up to me, I was going to make ODS only available to paying subscribers for the first couple of weeks and make everyone else wait! Just as a sort of added benefit.

Instead of donating, you can always go re-buy all TK's sims off his site for the DL versions. Then you're giving him money for an actual product, even if you do already own it. On the plus side, you don't have to store so many old patches!

Oh! So she's in Earth Alliance uniform now? “No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.” “Syrinx is always right. I will listen to Syrinx. I will not ignore Syrinx's recommendations. Syrinx is god.”

Maybe it should be done like the Su-33, where the canards are located on the LERX's themselves. The LERX's would be reshaped at that point to let them connect there.

Maybe when it gets older and the USAF moves on to the next thing...

I don't know, but why does it look like an E-2 and not an E-1, say? They even have the heat exchanger in the same place, over the cabin at the wing leading edge! I mean, no one can accuse them of being copycats for any of the fighters or bombers in the last 50 years. Even the Forger only barely looks like a Harrier, and the Mi-28 is only superficially like any other attack helo. The Il-76 is even quite distinct from the contemporary C-141. The An-126 might be hard to tell from a C-5 if they had the same paint scheme, but this one would be very hard to tell from an E-2 aside from the winglets and the contra-rotating props that are far more common in Russian designs than they ever were in the West. I bet if it was flight tested they'd even have wound up having to add dihedral to the tail like the E-2 has, and maybe even more tailfins! In short, it just looks like Yakovlev was lazy and took the E-2 design as a baseline and went from there instead of making a scratch design from a set of requirements.

Ah, ok, yet another plane-that-never-was. They stuck a little too close to the E-2's layout, really.

For some reason, the 28N always gives me the impression that it's being forced to carry more than it should, like it's overloaded. Probably because of the triangular cross-section of the fuselage. Are both of those Ka-52s? That totally different nose would've made me guess it was another model. Also, I've noticed the domes by the main gear under the older 52 design that the sharp-nosed one doesn't have. Are those associated with the MWS or something? The DCS sim doesn't have them under the helo, but the pictures in its manual show them there (but blurred out).

So does the 9-41 let you update your Facebook page from the cockpit? Is there a jack for your iPod? What plane is that that looks like an E-2D?

What gives? You're showing a picture of an AC-130, where's the Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion?

LOL, I remember that idea! BTW, will anyone be releasing a Snuffleupagus now?

In the case of enemy skill, "normal" is the most realistic setting in most situations. There are times when it wouldn't be, but I think for most of the campaigns and missions in my TW installs it is.

You never know how a DW mission will go. Sometimes it seems almost TOO easy, and other times it's just impossible. I do admit the "CBG moving at top speed regardless of the consequences" seems a little brazen at times, but I've been sunk too many times against them to fault their tactics.

Spore Trek?

I like fresh water, but I hate saltwater. It just is too gritty for me. That said, I've never lived farther than 15 miles from the Atlantic Ocean my entire life and I've been in it maybe a dozen times. It's a good way to keep away from sharks, jellyfish, riptides, and pointy things that you step on.

Spam missing something...lobster thermidor?

I'm sorry, but those conformal tanks just look ugly. LockMart should never have created them. I know the planes got some good extra range, but DAMN.

I've had C-5s take off right over me here as our runway ends right at the road that runs alongside the base. It is NOT a comforting sight. The speed and the noise made it seem like it would fall on your head!

I'd say BF43 is them offering a piece of .... to us. I just read it will have regen health and unlimited ammo. WTF is THAT??

Maybe a Mystery Machine skin for the Scooby Doo'ers?
