  1. What The?

    Isn't biological warfare against the Geneva Convention?
  2. The J-10 is a Lavi in the same way that the F/A-18E is an F/A-18C. It is based on Lavi principles, but is larger and much different under the skin.
  3. The J-10, like other deltas, also has no tailplane like this and other MiG-21s have. The Mig-21 is however unique in that like the A-4 it is one of the few tailed deltas to see widespread service.
  4. That B-17 edit looked like something from Weekly World News! That or Burt Rutan's redesign.
  5. I bought the DVD for that as soon as it came out. I watched it so many times on cable and VHS back in the 80s! "The F-16 carries heat-seeking missiles. We can surgically remove him from the air like a tumor." "We're not talking about a tumor here!!"
  6. Motherboards... The best for $$

    I bought an external HD for important file backup along with DVD Rs. Granted if my C: drive goes I'm SOL, but I'd have to redo my entire system to do RAID 1. I have 2 DVD drives (one reader, one writer thanks to game CPs hating my writer) and 2 HDs split in half for 4 logical drives. I'm still running IDE, BTW, so I'd have to put ALL my 4 logical drives onto a single (much larger of course) physical drive. I think my 2 are a 160 and a 300? So I'd need a pair of 500s minimum. Anyway, I've decided I'm going to build a new PC for Vista instead of upgrade the XP one so I'll have it around for backwards compatability. I don't want to mess with dual-booting! I'll probably start off with RAID on that one.
  7. No, 46 will not install over an existing install, it is self-contained standalone install only. PF was designed to merge with FB/AEP specifically, this was not. You'll have to manually move all the skins and missions you want over. You might be able to copy the .ini files over but that's risky as some lines might have changed between 4.04 and 4.06.
  8. Seeing as it has no ailerons to counteract the asymmetric lift the wings are generating, I'm not sure that qualifies as "flyable." Perhaps "not yet crashed" is more accurate?
  9. How to use the Jammer Beam?

    I turn it on to break a lock. When I see the lock is gone, I turn it off. I "blip" it like that until a point when an incoming missile does NOT lose lock when I turn it on due to burn-thru. That's when you start the chaff!
  10. Lockheed to supply 18 F-16s to Pakistan

    Don't assume "democracy = friendly". Just look at the whole Palestinian/Hamas mess. However, it is true that some cultures are anti-democracy because it goes against their belief in theocratic rule. They further believe any attempt to create a secular gov't must fail and is in itself an act against God. This makes things rather difficult.
  11. "Please don't shoot at the thermonuclear weapons." 31 is interesting, I guess it was a USN thing although it could have been air-carried. I think that means they never found it.
  12. P-3s this time ...

    Well I never saw any cows. Plus, I never saw the insides, that wasn't my area.
  13. What exactly is BVR?

    I think there are easy instructions on how to do it (if not a file to DL that does it for you) at lockonfiles.com that ThomasDW did.
  14. Overall, yes for the most part. This one part, however, is about the real deal.
  15. When the Boeing hits the fan...

    *waves hand* Move along.
  16. Iranian Revolutionary Guards play with fire

    Of course, they can then simply deny their boats made the call.
  17. In fact, I've SEEN that picture before. It was definitely an F-22 then, this was just PS'd.
  18. How to use the Jammer Beam?

    Also in the real world the jammer isn't as ineffective as it is in the sim. Yes there are circumstances where they are defeated, but by and large few modern fighters have been shot down by SAMs.
  19. Is the old manual still usable?

    All the mods like RV and OF and such have included manuals in PDF form I believe. Just browse thru the directories. The original manual is relevant to the generic stuff, but specific switchology and procedures may be incorrect/incomplete with the mods.
  20. Universal Combat

    Yeah, I heard about that. Thanks for the link.
  21. I seem to recall a B-52 dropping one off GA as well as the one off Spain.
  22. Yes, I don't recall if it was a low pass that got out of control or if it was a genuine landing attempt and he raised the gear because he (correctly) believed the gear down would result in more damage than a gears-up landing would.
  23. LOL, yeah. Things like facts and figures are usually not high on the list of accuracy for any media agency.
  24. LOL, doesn't speak well to hardening for EMP, does it?
  25. What exactly is BVR?

    Right, and that's why in LOMAC (where I could alter things) I changed it so I just see a label at long range, then I see its ID when it gets much closer. That way I see something is out there first and I see WHAT it is much later, as it should be.
