I've been watching DS9 season 2 lately, so this fits right in.

So basically, unless you're playing online with other 1255 users, you may not want to upgrade to 1255. That "increased loading time" has been reported to be QUITE severe in many cases, depending on how many cars you have.

There's going to be more Flankers in SE Asia than there are in Russia soon!

And that I believe was the point.

I once had the boss' son at this place I used to work ask me seriously if they would ever make a lightsaber. When I said it was impossible, he wanted to know why. When I explained in the simplest terms I could think of, he then mused "I think it would be cool to have a lightsaber. I hope they make one."

Beriev...if it says "Beriev", you know it's going to be unappealing.

Hot topic = number of replies, possibly also due to the rate of replies, not sure.

Has absolutely no bearing one way or another on the relative worth or lack thereof of said thread.

As for altitude, since Mach 1 @ sea level is much faster than Mach 1 @ 50k ft, the idea of Mach 3 @ sea level is just absurd. 2300mph @ sea level will melt you down. Now, granted you could make something like the space shuttle that's capable of that, but it's not a fighter, is it?

Hitting a hovering helo with an LGB is no different from hitting any other target...it's when the target moves that trouble arises. Firing at a moving target will quickly cause the bomb to run out of energy and it could fall short, although if the helo is low and slow enough the blast could still take it out.

So, chances are dependent pretty much on helo speed.

I haven't used the ALARM since the old Tornado game!

Did EF2K have it? I think so but I can't remember for sure...

I don't know what day it is, but after playing the demo this weekend I'll be getting it off of Steam. The AI is just excellent. They make mistakes, they're good at avoiding accidents, and they don't run you off the road (I'm looking at you, robot AI rfactor!!)

The graphics are of course great and the physics modeling seems spot-on. I could drive the cars on the edge without worrying about them falling off it without warning every single lap.

I won't be dumping rFactor or my GT-series sims from Simbin, but this is a great addition for only $20.

I don't mind when people say they don't care for more realistic games and prefer the run-n-gun. That's fine.

I DO mind when that's how they play but they SAY they're not, and they bash the realistic games and hype the unrealistic ones as if they were realistic! I mean, really.

Don't tell me LOMAC is unrealistic but BF2's planes are!!

I'll admit it...I have the game installed and have maybe 15 mins of time in it! :blush2:

I know there's a lot of great mods out for it, too, but with no time in the game itself I've not really done much there.

Just so many other things occupying my time lately. I also got the Tarr Chronicles demo but don't even have that installed!

I don't know if it is or not. There are individual new plane models that can be downloaded, such as the F-15 and A-10 I think, but I've not heard of any such big mod coming out yet. Admittedly I'm a bit out of touch with LOMAC mods anyway...

You know, 40 years ago people believed we'd see intelligent computers in our lifetime, that you could hold great conversations with, that would fill a room. Instead, we have computers that fit in a briefcase that are still stupid as a pile of bricks. Or sharp as a ball of wet mice, if you prefer.

So, as for AI, forget it anytime soon.

As for transforming, of course you likely could, but what would the point be?

Yup, she was in her mid 30s for the start and was 58 for her last.

Moneypenny, what will we do without you?

Although other actresses have played her, most recently and decently Samantha Bond for the Brosnan films, Maxwell was the one everyone will remember.

Dave, were you unable to get ahold of her 1st Sgt? I realize in a time critical situation it may not be possible without having the number on hand, but am I correct in thinking that in most cases that would be the person to contact? Or when you said "fellow military" did you mean former military as well?

The Millenium Falcon flew in space, and you can make a ship any shape when flying in space. No aero.

The Talon was totally ridiculous. I kept laughing when watching the movie when they talked about going Mach 3+ and such. With THAT canopy? Aero heating is so severe at those speeds... Plus they would SAY Mach 3 and then show a plane that looked like it was flying at subsonic speeds based on passage of scenery. Then in a dive on a building at Mach 3? And able to pull out? At that range???? NOT.

Anyway, while it's conceivable that some of these designs COULD fly, the performance they are given is totally [Vizzini]inconceivable!![/Vizzini]

Um....yeah...

By the time the W German Luftwaffe was formed, post-war, those planes were all obsolete. First thing they needed was trainers anyway, to get their pilots proficient after years without flying. I think this was around 1950 or so.

Great orbiter model, although their VAB needs work.

Tell me when they make a Sonic's...

Well, calling it an embarrassment is a stretch unless the maintenance crew was negligent, which I doubt. Planes fail all the time, all over the world. Older planes tend to fail more often, yes, but even newer ones will.

More like bad luck. However, the pilot ejected safely, so that should be counted as a good day.

There is a console forum here, down towards the bottom of the list.

However, OGF and AC6 are pretty much it as far as I know for jets on the 360. I don't remember if the original xbox had any.

I honestly don't know. I suppose that depends on if there are other mirrors for it or if the makers want it at a central location only.

Youtube is filled with the adventures of Chad Vader.

LOL, competitors are "off topic"!!!
