You are an F5U Cutlass. Few remember what the hell you are and those who do remember think you're funny looking.

*calls eels off*

Ok, you're Viggenito!

Did you honestly NOT see how confrontationally you worded your post? You don't poke someone in the eye and then act surprised when they shove your hand away, and then call them aggressive.

I guess they feel the F-22 will do what they want more than the F-35 will, despite them not knowing most of what the F-22 could do anyway?

Besides, if it succeeds the F-35 will be more advanced than the F-22 by virtue of being a 15 years newer design.

Not that it matters as Congress seems dead set against anyone else having F-22s, and by the way they complain about the price that seems to include the USAF as well.

Maybe Congress would allow a situation like we used to have with nukes in the 50s? Where we had US-controlled nukes stationed on foreign bases for use by foreign air forces with US approval... In other words, the planes are paid for by the gov't that wants them and operate as part of that gov'ts air force, but are crewed and maintained by USAF forces to prevent "security breaches". Granted it sounds like a raw deal as you spend the money but only get to give orders, but if you TRULY believe "only the F-22 will do", this may be a way to appease the paranoids in Congress.

Go to Miami. It's more expensive, but you won't really notice much difference aside from more traffic.

They already did the BevHills a few years ago. Jim Varney played Jed.

Not so sure about the shuttle myself. I've got the feeling zero g might make me nauseous.

If anyone has some useful tips on making the KB easier to use, please submit them! We're open to improvements that will help.

I think it's natural that those who've put a lot of time and effort into making it would feel slighted when that work is ignored or put down. Just look how many modders quit this series over the rivet counting and generally ungrateful reception their free work received. In a sense, the KB is itself a mod, it's just not one you can DL and install. It is however something you use to make the game more enjoyable, ergo it's a mod.

I can't argue that there have been some disproportionate responses at times, but perhaps there's a general lack of consideration of the KB's existence over all. We'd basically like the KB to be the first place people check for info rather than the last!

We've been trying to figure out how to raise people's awareness of it, and some are more than a little frustrated.

Yeah, you have to use the .CAT extractor on one sim to pull out the necessary files to move the plane to the other. In essence, you're creating your own 3rd party plane to install into WOI from the files of the previous sim.

In other news, Elizabeth II is now Queen of England.

They have? I've not tried in forever to get there. If so, though, that is sad news.

Well, I just tried it at http://www.lead-pursuit.com/news.htm and it works fine. Not updated in 2 months or so, but it's working.

Combat medics the world over face this dichotomy, it's nothing new.

Back when the B-52s were built nothing was known to be harmful about asbestos. It was used as a fire break in everything.

Beats me! I've taken off lots of times, haven't managed a vertical landing YET. I just do rolling landings on airfields.

Looks like everyone crawled out of the woodwork to try and get some cake!

HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- Today Hollywood officially ran out of ideas for new films.

Today you do, though. Now you look 2 days over 27.

1.12b is the Vista patch, 1.12a is the XP patch. I'm not sure what happens if you use the wrong one, frankly. I'm running 1.12a on my XP machine.

Game made by Russian developers. I think they get better info about Russian equipment than American, plus their own biases are going to mean a situation like you describe (F-15 losing 8 out of 10 times) will not be seen as unusual.

That said, there are acknowledged problems with the BVR missile modeling that causes imbalances. Maybe we'll get a 1.13 to patch it someday, but no word yea or nay at this point.

It would be pretty slow-acting and low-impact if it was. I can't picture them bothering. Besides, if you can accomplish that you could just as easily place a bomb or sabotage some equipment for a more spectacular result. Terrorists want to induce terror, and frankly the possibility you might develop cancer years later after prolonged exposure just doesn't do that.

The US has a consistent track record of allying with the wrong countries just because they also oppose someone we oppose. It's expedient, but it's not right, and it often has bad repercussions later on.

As long as you aren't trying to pass it on to the locals I guess...

Ving Rhames could do it, he's done some great comedic stuff like in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry".
