They're most worried about your ability to pay. Dead patients pay no bills.

The A and the B. I'm partial to some decent engines, myself.

Oh no, the USN's 4th Balsa Wood Fleet is in danger now.

It's only a matter of time before we lose another classic cast member, unfortunately. Kelley left us over 15 years ago, it's about 10 now for Doohan, and time marches on...

Here's the best chase scene in SF:

Wow, four? I'm at my limits with two!

Some of those one-off planes are so fugly it's hard to believe.

That's an impressively catchy tune.

Yeah, I'm far more interested in NTTR for tanks than planes. Let's face it, the Black Sea terrain we have is miserable for them. Odd flat planes and impossible geography. You generally don't notice it unless you're in a helo and have to set down somewhere away from a base due to damage, or you'll see a target in an unbelievable position as a result of it.
First thing I'll do with NTTR is set up a big tank battle.

Too bad Alcatraz was cancelled, I wanted to see more of that actress.
A lot more.

Yeah, that was about Libya not ISIS.

From what I recall, it's LITERALLY a dual drive, not a hybrid. So this one drive appears as two separate drives in the OS ie C: and D:. You can't combine them unless there's some sort of software-based striping, but then the standard HD will slow it down to make the SSD pointless.
I think it's mainly a space-saver for systems with room for only one HDD. Pop it in, load the OS on the SSD side, apps/data on the standard side.
The ones that use SSD and HDD together for improved speed (like striping but with far more intelligent logic about where to place things) are called hybrid drives.

If I had free time to mod anything anymore I might look into this.

It's more like 2.5 years now. Methinks it's not a priority right now.

They did it 30 years ago (albeit they did it to knock a satellite down not put one up), so I don't see anything not feasible here. Pilots might be a little nervous with a rocket THAT big under the plane, though.

This looks really well made. Kudos to anyone who's willing to take the time to make something like this.

I had no idea anyone was still messing around with CFS3 other than the WOFF team. I always thought CFS3 was just missing a few things to be a true classic, and I was eagerly anticipating CFS4 to compete with the soulless Il-2. Alas MS cut the team and we got zip.

Make that 20 years this fall, from when Flanker 1 came out.

The reason there's a Typhoon and a Rafale is that the two groups couldn't agree on the size of the fighter. France wanted smaller, the rest wanted larger. To say they should've just compromised is an understatement given how similar the two are.
35' wide, 50' long, 21k lbs vs 36' wide and 52' long and 24k lbs...except the Rafale actually has a higher max TO weight despite being slightly smaller.
A 35.5' wide, 51' long, 22.5k lbs plane should've been ideal for both.

True fact: The P-47 was 34 yrs old at the time the A-10 entered service, and had been retired from US service for decades. The A-10 is now 37 years old.

Actually, we left a country for being taxed without representation, a say in how those taxes were being used. They never complained about the amount of the tax, they complained that their money was being taken the same as those who lived elsewhere but that in all other respects they were persona non grata. THAT is what is still happening today. You vote people in but they do what the groups that funded their election want them to do, not what the people who voted for them want. Yet for some reason people now seem to think that means it was for being taxed at all.
I propose a newer simpler system. No more campaigns with funding. No more voting. No more personal taxes. The companies that previously spent a ton of money on lobbying and campaigns simply pay those same funds as taxes. They buy the candidates anyway, might as well formalize it. We're paying the gov't to do things that these companies pay to get the candidates elected to do. So instead of the companies paying for them and us paying for the gov't, let them pay direct. The companies pay the same amount, the gov't gets the same funding, but no tiresome elections that are rigged by gerrymandering (so only one party ever wins 95% of districts) and are just a rubber stamp on foregone conclusions anyway.
They never do what we want anyway, they do what the companies want, so let them pay for the privilege and leave us out. Make taxes based on revenue or profit, however they want to do it. If they make X, they pay Y. No more stupidity about "Well if you cut our taxes we can hire more people" when they NEVER hire more people when their taxes are cut, they only fire more when the taxes go up.
We have a gov't not of the people, by the people, for the people, but of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.

Excellent. Our first catch of the day.

Call me the odd man out, but I want an A+ nee' B. I have no love for the TF30s, gimme some nice GE's to stand on my tail with!
The D's radar upgrades are nice, but I've never really had experience with like I did the A's setup, so the B is the best of both worlds.

F-14A/B (A+) Tomcat coming to DCS World

Well to be fair they already released their first plane and I get the feeling they've been working on this one for awhile already. So while I won't bet money on it coming out by Dec, I also won't bet money on it NOT coming out then.
