If the 2300 they cut are all O-5 or above I think that wouldn't be a bad thing. Cutting out the guys that are actually working though...

Yeah, when people go out of their way to tell other people they're NOT your friend, it's time to pack it in.

Which is the one that is wrong and which is the one that it should be? Can I just blank the line?

Playing ME1 really did bring back that feel I got from playing KOTOR. Man I wish there had been a KOTOR 3 with MP ala NWN2.

Yes, in the Fulcrum you sit "in" the plane while the F-16 you feel like you sit "on" it.

Ugh, a total reinstall and repatch was the answer there? That sucks.

I've only played the first so far, have yet to start the 2nd. I've also heard this will be the final chapter in Shepard's story, whether there's an ME4 or not. If there is, my guess is they'll either elevate a previously background character or they'll just make a new one.

That is one big hump.

Obviously the scriptwriter knew more than the director and editor!

Let's not forget the otherwise excellent Hunt for Red October's infamous "F-14 turns into Korean War footage of crashing jet" scene.

That was a great launch. You had to be close to see it, though, it wasn't visible from more than about 15 miles or so.

The screen doesn't go white, it's the scan bar that goes back and forth that makes it light green. All the markings on the radar screen are light green while the background is dark green. The sweep is supposed to fade after it passes by, but it doesn't. Instead, after 2 scans the whole thing is bright green and useless. I've got a couple of planes I've found that do this but the last time I fixed it is when SF2 first came out I think.

I'll check that link.

Detroit hasn't been the coolest city since the decline of Motown!

Worst part of facebook is its very existence.

Just remember most SAMs fly Mach 2+, while their plane was going subsonic, so how long could it take before the missile really reached them?

TW sims model SAMs 10x more realistically than that film did.

AFAIK, no. You only need to be connected to the internet on install, though. So if it's a case of moving the PC to a spot where it can connect and then back, it's not a deal-breaker. If you mean loading it on a desktop in an area nowhere near an active net connection, I'd say no go.

You know that problem you get with the radar basically whiting out its own display within seconds of turning it on? What's the fix again? I just spent a lot of time trying and failing to find it here...

What about your armpit? That's free!

Well, I bought ICE on sale at Gogamer for $30 including shipping, and with the sale that went all last week I bought every single seater (I don't know if I'll ever care to fly a bomber) for another $33. So, $63 isn't that bad. I spent more for both F-19 and Falcon 3 for a single purchase, and between F4 and F4:AF I spent more on F4, and for Il-2 I bought the original, FB, Aces Exp, Pac Fighters, and 1946, so...

Oh, and I bought FE2, SF2, SF2:E, SF2:V, SF2:I, and both expansions and I think even at the cheap prices that was well over $100!

So, while comparing it to other WWI sims it may or may not come out more (after all, OFF requires CFS3 depending what you paid for that and then there's the HitR expansion), compared to other sims in general it's not...if you buy on sales.

Well, yes and no. One thing Il-2:PF never had but needed was a LSO. MPS' old 1942: Pacific Air War had the WSO to aid in your landing. Il-2 you just do it yourself like you're landing on an abandoned carrier.

I have it on my D: drive in program files, but that folder doesn't have the permissions restrictions the one on C: has.

LOL, I think SAMs and radar are beyond what Oleg should be looking at right now! He's our only WWII sim dev right now, so he should focus on that.

Another example of a plane program that had issues but eventually sorted them out and became a good platform, just like the C-17 and others.

The point is just the DoD interfered with NASA's design to save themselves money on the costly Titans then abandoned them and left NASA with a bigger bill than it could afford after Challenger.

Future crew vehicles should be JUST crew vehicles, period. Cargo goes up in unmanned vehicles before for them to access when they get up there.

As for cannon in space, that means supplying oxygen to allow the gunpowder to combust. Doesn't sound like a great idea to me.

Or rather its rumored possible Russian friend...

Intel HD graphics = crap for games.

I've got a Dell XPS M1530 I bought back in the summer of 2009 I believe. I've played plenty of games on it (no sims, though) and it works great with an 8600GT chip.
