Interesting, I've never seen an airplane on outdoor display with its gear retracted to appear "in flight". Only hanging from ceilings in large indoor museums. A nice touch!
-
That's rfactor.

I think the fastest thing over my house was an F-15C flying CAP for the final Columbia launch that had the Israeli astronaut on board.
The most important thing ever to fly over my house was Marine One.

The good news for you is the X3100 is the BEST Intel integrated chip they ever made.
However, that's a bit like saying "This is the best Yugo ever built".
-
Well well, they actually have done a good job on the UI. I'm very surprised as I thought it was a cultural block preventing them from doing it.
-
Well.
-
I'm not sure what's wrong with the Rafale...maybe it was the lack of the word "Mirage" in the name...but it sure has been a bust for Dassault.
However, seeing as it likely has little in common with the M2000, but the MiG-29K DOES have stuff in common with other Russian jets, from a logistics perspective I can see that the 29K would be favored every time.

Well, the 117 was designed "stealth first, fly later" so that doesn't surprise me.
-
I thought it was actually based more on the F/A-18 (which entered service just as the 117 was being designed)...cockpit, engines, and other stuff. F-15 gear, though.

Watch for the debut of the USS Chevy Chase on SNL.

I think this will work:
-
Now compare that to how many hrs of your life you've spent sitting on the can since you were born!
-
Crysis doesn't count, that was a game by another dev just distributed by them. The real legacy of EA is to buy good devs and turn them into corporate brain-dead devs that don't release good games.
-
That's exactly my point. Boeing is leading their proposal, but NG's "lead" on the Airbus tanker is a vary pale 2nd. Like I said, the real difference in workforce numbers is minor. If Boeing wins it's like 2400 US jobs and if the other wins it's like 2000 US jobs, that's it!
The REAL issue is which big-wig corporation is going to reap the profits. Big fat rich US execs, or big fat rich US and Euro execs? It doesn't matter to the rest of us.
-
I will say with almost 100% certainty this is because of your Intel integrated graphics chip. I can't say why it didn't occur in previous patches or why it only happens in certain instances, but that is definitely the cause of your trouble.

ISn't the game just "too much"? Making Star Wars a Superman movie or DBZ-like?
BTW, I don't have the specs to run it, but post some screenshots!
Specs? Either you have the console or you don't! It's for PS3, 360, Wii, PSP, PS2, and DS I think. You CAN'T get it for the PC.
Yes, the Force powers seem a bit overblown, but on the other hand the lightsaber isn't "realistic", it takes a few swipes to take out enemies as opposed to the realism mod I used for Jedi Academy where you knock off a limb or cut in half anyone you hit with it, no matter how "powerful" they are.
There are limitations to using the Force powers, too, so I think they balanced it well.

We had 30 inches of rain in 24 hrs from TS Fay, so I think everyone there should do ok!
-
Space channel, so a Canadian one I guess?
-
See, there are some benefits to living in FL.
We get winds that fast and we don't even stop going to work! TS Fay was stronger than that and blew for TWO DAYS but only the rain was a problem. My roof still looks like it did when we bought the place 7 years ago.
Frankly, the entire country would be better off with FL's building codes, but it won't happen because of cost, not unless you get hit by storms like that so often the insurance companies make it cost-effective (by charging rates mega-high or just failing to cover those who don't conform to those codes).
We had sustained 100mph winds here several times in 2004 and 2005 and I just lost a couple (mostly dead) trees. Lost power a total of 4 hrs in all combined.

We realize there are unemployed members here, or those who are employed but are either barely (or failing) to make ends meet. Of course, the unemployed are the ones that spend a good amount of time here simply because they have time those of us who work don't.
Combatace is an entertainment website, plain and simple. For those incapable of paying (whatever the reason), we're not going to cut you off because many of them make valuable contributions in other ways. Help a n00b.
For the rest, though, entertainment costs. It costs in every area. Even a book you check out at the library isn't "free", your tax dollars pay for that. TV is paid for with ads but the internet ad model kind of sucks right now. You need such massive numbers to justify good rates that I think you're stuck in a spiral of having to pay more in costs to justify higher ad rates that won't cover them!
This is definitely the "honor system" and we realized we weren't going to get some 50% contribution. We did NOT realize how few cared to try. So you can't swing a 12 month cost, but you've been here months and plan on hanging around for many more. You could at least swing ONE month. If you went out and bought dinner but only paid for the salad, the restaurant wouldn't accept that, but we will here.
If MOST people just paid for one month it would help a LOT. What's that cost now anyway? Less than 2 gallons of gas!
-
Well, I can say it wasn't me and you have to believe it because I didn't know you needed one and I certainly didn't know what model it was!
-
Um...ok, WTF? I've never heard of this "emo" crap. Only one I know is Emo Phillips. You can just call him "Mr Butterfingers."

The Force is not to be taken lightly!

Ok, I picked up TFU yesterday (for my brand-new 60GB X360) and have played the opening level where you're Vader. So far, I like it quite a bit. It looks stunning and the fighting has been enjoyable. Who else has it? Anyone have it for PS3, Wii, PSP?
F-22 Over My House
in Military and General Aviation

Actually, I should amend that statement. The fastest thing to ever fly over my house, and it has done so several times, is an orbiter returning to KSC. They're still supersonic when they pass overhead, not dropping subsonic until they actually reach KSC.
