Cool idea, not so sure of the actual practicality of it. There's never been a jet with an intake like that, and there must be a reason for that.

It's sad to see that's how it looks now. I read an article about it in IAPR I think a few months ago. A B-36 turned into a massive cargo plane. You can see how thick the wings were on the side of the fuselage.

If you watch movie DVD extras you know what can be done with a moderate budget. One is to digitally ERASE something that's really there (like a wing) to give the impression it's not. I think they took a performance, erased the wing, then at the end put a digital plane in for the transition to a landing and then switched back to a real plane (which conveniently is sitting so you can't see the wing is missing).

I remember seeing Spaceballs and Naked Gun in the theater and both times I was ROFL the entire film through. Something that didn't happen again until I saw the South Park movie over 10 years later. -
This Can't be good.....

Fencer in! -
I'm not sure that's the best way to do things. "We'll do what we want unless enough people complain loud enough to make us change our minds" instead of "figure out what the customers are most interested in and serve that need."
-
Yeah, 800x600 @ low detail isn't what I call "playing". The shots I've seen indicate my guess is closer. Radeons I'm not sure, maybe "X1800 or later".

I think I can make out Eric Idle on the right.

I'm going to guess it won't be a Growler! -
I think it's supposed to be AIM-120-like, and that looks...AIM-120-like.

F-29A update

When you were FIVE?!?! I was in college when I got USNF, the first Jane's flight sim. -
It wouldn't surprise me if it said "Geforce 8, 9, and 2xx series only".

Anywhere you see talk of planes there are real pilots. How many, in what capacity, etc, is something few know the real totals of.
-
If that's where you're doing it, you'll be one of the LUCKY ones.

Actually I think the KB-50 (the derivative of the 29) was the first one used en masse. However, its slow speed meant refueling problems until the 135s were introduced.

Crackers, chips, cheese sticks, granola bars, maybe a dark chocolate or two...all go well for a right-before-bed snack.

Got a feeling inside I can't explain A certain kind I can't explain I feel hot and cold I can't explain Way down in my soul, yeah I can't explain

I don't know if I've ever seen a model of the 71C.
-
I'll add some Mossie love. One of my fave WWII planes.

The other thing is there are other CP schemes out there that are less controversial, but they didn't go that way. It's almost like they WANTED to use SF and only something MASSIVELY negative was going to sway them, like getting a Republican to vote Democrat or vice versa.
-
7500? Yeah, I'd be concerned too. The readme for a game is often posted on release, and they usually list specific chipsets. Maybe you can check that.
-
LOL!

The important thing to remember about composing shots like that is the light source. Look at the moon, figure out where the sun has to be. Now look at the shadows on the plane/contrails and figure out where the sun has to be. If it's not pretty close, you can tell it's a fake.

The F-117 is undeniable, but it's also very obvious and still a lot is "black" and inaccessible. The F-4 is a good choice, although proving it "changed the face" will be harder because it's not so blatant. The UH-1 certainly ranks up there, if anything higher than the F-4.
