That's certainly a major alteration if you were planning on being a pilot.
-
We could just as easily replace them with new F-15s (which are still in production) and be better off. To alter those Flankers to work with our weapons and logistics would negate any perceived savings.

EOD = crazy people.

Well, the F-117 has only been public for not even 20 years. It was late 88 when that crappy picture was released. Of course, the plane had already been in service for several years at that point.
The B-2, on the other hand, was brought out before it had made its first flight.
-
The F-117 was originally to stay in service longer, to be replaced along with the F-15E by a future long-range interdictor, one of which was mooted as the so-called "FB-22".
When it was decided the F-22 would have a significant ground attack role, in essence being capable of doing the F-15E/F-117 mission itself, it was decided there was no benefit to keeping the 117 around when the money could be used elsewhere.

In Il-2 I've actually used my prop to cut off the tails of enemy planes when I was winchester without any adverse effects. Once or twice I've damaged the prop doing it, though.
Wonder if you could do that here?

Bye bye, love. Bye bye, F-117. Hello, F-22. I still can't believe that you could fly. Bye bye, my love, goodbye.

In MY day, we had the Great Space Coaster and Electric Company and Speed Racer and Starblazers and we LIKED it!

Even Chuck Norris got audited by the IRS...once.

While the partner nations have had input on what capabilities the JSF should have for the price, I hesistate to say any "help" was needed other than funding and production commitments on it. Also, the JSF could have proceeded without said "help" quite readily, it just probably would've faced cancellation more easily if not for the multinational ties!

It's invaluable for flight sims. Some people have trouble using it with ArmA (can't get used to it) but others also swear by it.
If you can afford it, it is recommended highly!

The other thing is if there are other people in your building using the same freqs/channels you could find intermittent lag/dropouts with no clear cause.

More RAM allows more textures to be held on the card, which can result in the following possible benefits--using higher-res textures in the game, taking less time to load, increasing your FSAA and AF settings. Generally speaking things won't run any faster, unless you experience slowdowns using high-res textures when they get swapped in and out of card RAM. Then more RAM will alleviate that.

I think the pedal choices are Saitek and CH, either will work fine. Cougar has problems with wearing over time. While it usually works great out of the box, after a year or two you may find it too loose. Unfortunately, "modding" it to make it into the stick it should be will likely run you 2-3x the cost of just the sticks themselves.
I know many people prefer the CH or Saitek products for that reason.

I don't think it can use Vikhrs. Maybe that's an Igla rigged up as cheap AA missile?
-
So we can use the seeker for a WVR missile for BVR...we just can't use that missile for BVR.

Watch C-Span.

I don't know if the Brits deployed any Jaguars to Iraq or not, at least not in that time period. I think they're all retired now. Besides, if there's a good way to describe a Harrier, it's a "shrieking sound." Those things are ridiculously loud.
As for that F-16, it sounds like it might have been the VISTA/AFTI F-16. Other than the T-birds it's the only F-16 in a R/W/B scheme I know of and I think you'd have recognized if it was a T-bird!

Really? I think it's retarded. I've NEVER thought DST was a good idea. Sure, if you're a farmer it is. However, just how many people in the US are farmers now?
Besides, I live in Florida. We have PLENTY of sunshine. We don't need more. I want to know who thought it would be a good idea to have kids waiting at the bus stops for school in pitch black darkness? 7:42AM sunrise?? Give me a break, that's stupid. The human body naturally adjusts to the changing length of the day during the year. DST totally screws that up.
ABOLISH IT.

I think TW's site is it right now, but I don't remember if Paypal was the sole way of paying for it?

I'd like to know how to get that J-10 into LOMAC:FC as well!

Um....

Yet in English, both are what a guy from Brooklyn calls his boss.

Joe uses it over there and likes it. Check the front page of Hardocp.com right now and there's a picture of someone racing GTR2 using it across 3 monitors.
The main thing is you need a powerful video card as it makes your card see a single giant 2500x1280 or something monitor.
