I guess the clever disguise we used worked then!! MUHUHUHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

I admit the reaction to women in some sites is really weird. I mean, you'd think 90% of the forum regulars deal with women on a daily basis, yet you find one online that has a similar interest and it's like a bar with one girl and 50 drunk guys.

Not to say shared interests aren't important, I married my wife in part because she told me she liked Beavis and Butthead when we met , but sometimes it gets hard to take. Syrinx had to deal with some of that when she first "outed" herself here. By and large, though, we are indeed a relaxed lot. Maybe it's the beer in the TCP/IP?

OK NOW YOU FINISH F102 THEN MAKE F107 CUZ THIS SIM NEEDS THIS PLANE EVEN THO IT NEVER WAS BUILT KTHXBYE

There are mods for new maps, yes, I've seen them somewhere. Don't know about flight models.

Amazing what can be done when copyrights are ignored in the name of good fun.

A little bridge to hold us until 4.5 airs, SFC has made some webisodes again like they did before S3 and Razor. It doesn't look very grand in scope, but only the Razor webisodes really were.

I fail to see how this is related to hardware or software.

Yeah, I got a Dell M1530 with an 8600GT and a month later I saw another laptop, forget which company, that was also 15" but had I think a 9700? It was a little less, too. Sigh.

Rapidshare and MU have DL limits, per day I believe, unless you pay for a membership to increase/unlimit them. I can't imagine any other reason why it wouldn't work for you, though.

People that are too serious display a serious lack of personality!

There are a few of us here that enjoy racing, and we do talk about it in the racing forums, but I must admit this is a combat flight sim-oriented site!

Looking at FC's awesome ASCII art ( ) it looks like it has 2 left feet instead of mirror images. That still shouldn't result in a flip, but I can see how the game could see it as unstable. Did you use the same 3D model for both main gear bogies instead of "flipping" the left to make the right?

Guarantee lots of sales and call it "Call of Duty: Air Combat."

Of course, the Jane's sims from Origin all had much larger budgets and graphics were simpler, leaving them more time to do things like that.

Graphics approaching photo-realism has resulted in art resources for games going up exponentially, leaving less manpower for things like UIs, a "living" world, and so on.

It's blocked from here (Thanks, DoD!), but is that the one where he blows himself up inside the car but the car stays intact?

I always thought that was of questionable taste, much like the one from Ford I think where the sunroof cuts off the cat's head.

Hyperlobby is the util most used for Il-2 I believe.

That's a great lineup. Some may prefer AMD to Intel or nvidia to ATI, but they're really all equivalent.

Oh yeah, looking at that it suddenly looks nothing like a Bear! I guess that's similar to how the KC-135 is not a 707 at all.

You need a little placard to post when you say that. Maybe some Muzak playing, too.

To call it an Anthology sort of precludes more releases, doesn't it? It implies finality, and I don't want that!

Maybe take a page from MS and call it "Thirdwire Bob." Or "Thirdwire Jet Sim 2009."

I'd like more on the MP side, but TK has apparently already nixed that idea.

I would love the ability to fly a campaign or single missions in MP instead of the modified quick-mission format with mandatory air starts and no-surprises 16 airplanes/4 types max scenarios.

I admit AG bombing is made harder than it should be by the lack of systems for it, but you can learn to get around it and just dumb bomb relatively well.

CFS3 MP mismatches are a serious issue to any non-stock CFS3 install. I had to give it up when the ONE guy I flew MP with had to reinstall and it stopped working.

For solo play, though, I enjoy Firepower a great deal. The planes they included are excellent and the upgrades to things like the effects are universal.

I've got more theories than Einstein on crack, but nothing to support them really. Part of the problem is all of this wasn't mapped out from the beginning so there weren't many "clues" left behind. Only at the very end of season 3 did they pick those 4 of the final 5, so who knows when they decided who the last one was?

LOL, ok, but a 9800GT is slower than a 4850! You should look at the 9800GTX+ models at least if you're going green instead of red.

Well, there was an odd stereotype...that bit them hard!

Historic Jet Combat

SFP1's fictional setting notwithstanding.

Let's all thank the DoD from preventing me from seeing that.
