"No bloody A, B, C, or D!"

They were pulled out, but yes the YC-14 and 15 were returned there after the C-17 began to enter service.

Oh, the horror stories of getting old crap to run on Vista with all the DoD's wonderful security on top of it that I could tell you! But I won't, because I'm trying to bury the memories, repress them such that they won't surface until I'm on my death bed, and hopefully by then I will be incapable of recollection...

Well, I've been called a Royal Pain in the Ass before, how close is that?

6km is under 4 miles, and I seriously doubt a B-2 would overfly a target that close in a threat environment anyway.

Besides, quite often stealth planes have very NONstealthy transponders going in friendly airspace to enable them to be tracked by ATC while also keeping allies from getting a look at the "true stealth" abilities.

Wasn't it just last year they were talking about his place in LA getting foreclosed on?

Guess he'll be back with his old pal every night now up there, doing shtick for the masses...

Well, it's the masses' fault for actually watching the tripe and tuning in every night in droves to see it. We USED to have scripted television that had to be carefully produced by a large team, but these reality shows are so damned cheap the networks don't want to bother anymore. They bring out a new show and if it doesn't find an audience almost immediately they can it and show another retarded reality show. Series used to get an entire season to see if they would work, the number of older shows cancelled with less than a season under their belts every year could be counted on one hand. Now it's amazing if 1/3 of the shows on the air at the start of the season are still around at the halfway point, let alone the end!

You know, I don't think I've ever used rockets in a TW sim! It's always bombs or guns for me.

When you're going that slow most sims have problem with the FM coding. You really need a good helo FM (which the TW sims don't yet have).

Well, it's more that Win7 is to Vista what XP was to 2000.

Vista SP1 is its Win98SE.

The main issue is going to be will 7 be as good as XP was or as good as XP SP2 (which was when people started to actually LIKE XP...I think a lot of people forget all the hating XP got at release).

Still sounds to me like it will get boring after a month or 2.

Why would I want to even waste my time playing crap just to be able to play something good when I can play other games that let you do the good stuff right from the get go?

What a stupid concept.

It's the most pointless reality show in a long line of pointless reality shows. If I could go back in time 20 years and kill the MTV exec who first proposed the Real World before they started it and keep this genie in the bottle for even 5 more years, I would.

I don't think it's possible to cast Pegg and not make the character comedic.

However, it's not like Doohan's Scotty wasn't funny quite often.

For First Eagles, it's easier to go to the forum for it and the subforum for file announcements as only FE files are listed there. It's true those are listed by submission date only, but at least you will only be wading thru FE stuff there.

Yeah, tracking a plane with a radar at a range of under 1 mile is probably the most useless ability there is. It needs to track them OUTSIDE rifle range!

I saw the YC-14 and 15 at Pima Air Museum in the 80s. Apparently shortly afterwards they pulled them both out for further testing in support of the C-17 program.

Personally I'm not a big fan of the Adour thanks to its age. That said, I'm not sure the Honeywell would be better. It certainly has more power, but I don't know if its reliability/maintenance records are really well established.

If you buy a new PC in August, chances are it will come with Vista and an upgrade coupon for Win7. That's what happened before Vista's release, it was XP and a Vista coupon.

So that's what they SHOULD have...but what do they REALLY have? If they're underpowered for some reason...

What thrust do the Harrier engines have in game? Once you know that, the loadout screen tells you exactly how heavy the plane is.

There is no water injection modeled for any planes in the TW sims. All we get is engines with or without burner.

Um, no, I've got AA3 installed. And you mean there's only TWO lousy coop missions? TWO?

I thought a Harrier needed to have less than 50% fuel for a VTO.

Well, I did a lot of the training this weekend, but I couldn't find an option to play coop anywhere.

All I see is joining servers under MP, what am I missing?

hey, english is not my native language, i talk all of the time but make mistakes, now this is rather an interesting, collecting wives............... can the dead ones count too............

I don't think you want to go there...
