  1. There's also that whole "how many hours can you get in the air with a dozen planes in a month" issue of MiGs vs F-16s. Fulcrums do not have a high reliability rate. After all, Germany dumped theirs PDQ but kept the older Tornados.
  2. His logbooks don't mention a P-51A or an A-36, so it didn't occur to me he'd be in one.
  3. Another issue is that so-called "noise jamming" where ECM just floods the bands with noise is outdated. It can be burned-thru fairly easily with enough power/range. That's why "deception jamming" is where ECM is at, but no flight sim models this because I suppose "details are classified." It's a simple enough concept though...if you can't prevent the enemy from seeing you, just make him see you somewhere other than where you really are! Missiles fly out to where they think your plane is, but when they get there you're miles away. Even HOJ won't be useful in that instance. Yet we're stuck with 60's era jamming techniques only.
  4. This could be the game that makes me get a joystick like the Saitek Aviator for my 360.
  5. That photo looks more like a P-51B/C with the oil cooler under the fuselage behind his legs there. The canopy looks strange, though.
  6. Easy spotting guide: 124 - 4 engines, single fin for tail 225 - 6 engines, twin tail ala B-24
  7. Even the gators can't afford our overvalued property costs...
  8. I was going to say "there's no such thing as a Celeron 2 Duo!"
  9. Just don't ask me to do LASIK with it!
  10. Wow, the 50th anniversary seems like just yesterday. I'm getting old.
  11. I have a subscription, but apparently it's a very small company and the guy running it ran into some hard times (divorce among other things) that have seriously delayed his schedule. I forget when I got my last one, but it's been awhile. I'm still waiting to see what happens with it.
  12. Out of curiosity, what percentage of pilots fail? Is it like 50% on the first try, 25% never pass kind of thing?
  13. Like it would be possible to forget them!
  14. You mean you saw the An-225. There's only one, it's the Highlander of cargo planes. The 124 is slightly bigger than a C-5, the 225 is quite a bit bigger than the 124 as far as wingspan and MTO.
  15. Oh, NOW we see the violence inherent in the system! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help! I'm being suppressed!
  16. When parts of the plane warp from the heat, you know it was a big fire!
  17. I don't know what you might say But that mishap looks like Class A!
  18. How can you tell it's "spanking" new vs simply new?
  19. Yeah, now at the end of the production line a bunch of export orders have been secured. I don't recall which countries offhand, but I do remember Qatar being one along with NATO.
  20. I think this will turn out to be a mistake, but I might be wrong.
  21. Laser face removal?
  22. Am I missing it, or is Spiderman 4 not on that list?
  23. I've not tried that, no, but the general rule of thumb seems to be if you're using XP the add-in card is better, but if you're using Vista it's better to use the onboard sound. That's more because of the way Vista's driver model handles sound than anything else now, plus the fact that with the powerful CPUs we have now all that stuff we used to rely on offboard-processing for sound effects is no longer necessary. However, since you aren't buying the card and have it already, just try both. First go with onboard only and try all your games and see how it fares. If something's not right, you can always disable it and put the Audigy and its software on. I don't recommend trying the other direction (audigy first) because the SB software is so big and involved and if you wind up NOT using the card it's a waste.
  24. You know who's going to be upset about this? Universal! Right now I can think off the top of my head of 3 rides at Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure here (Hulk, Dr Doom, Spiderman) that use Marvel properties! Hulk and Spidey are also 2 of the best ones there! There's no need to make it G-rated, as their film division has done harder stuff for decades now, they just want to make that big Spiderman/Iron Man/X-men money.
  25. This link worked fine for me: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php/topic/46424-reviewing-the-logitech-g940/ I tried it again and it still works fine. It's under reviews/hardware reviews if you go there manually.
