I don't hear any violins either. What's with people complaining about all the violins on TV anyway?

That's also the reason why Not Another Teen Movie is my 2nd favorite spoof film after Airplane...while it makes some passes at modern film, it's mostly a Hughes-fest.

It's a nice what-if plane, no such plane ever really existed.

I wonder if it would be different with Vista? MS has all but screamed "stop using XP already!!"

The USMC has a number of vessels designed around Harriers. The F-35B is the only variant that will operate off it. Buying new vessels would waste far more money. If you want to argue if the Harrier replacement should've been folded into the F-16/18 replacement program, that's different. However, while the USMC could use F-35Cs to replace their Hornets, they couldn't replace the Harriers. In fact, you could probably argue it was silly to meld the F-16 and Hornet replacement programs in the first place. The last plane that both USN and USAF used largely the same was the A-7 and it wasn't anything spectacular, just a bomb truck. In addition, the F-35C is also notable in that it will be the first single-engine plane the USN has had on a carrier since the A-7's retirement. Anyway, whether or not it would've been cheaper to build 2 or 3 separate planes or 1 plane with 3 variants is a moot point now, the F-35 is what we've got.

I've seen it written that way, yes. There's also this crazy "F-16CG" and "F-16CJ" naming, but I prefer using the numbers.

Don't confuse the NAACP with some of these outspoken people. It's nothing like the KKK or skinheads, but in the words of one black American--"Jesse Jackson isn't the emperor of black people."

Really? I always heard that any program that tries to access more than 2GB (just open task manager and watch the process) will crash. I seem to recall Company of Heroes doing that to me when I would play with ultra detail. There's a "large address" flag or something that I think allows up to 2.5GB used if the devs compiled it for that, but usually it's not. That's why I'm still only using 2GB of RAM with my 32-bit Windows, since I never multitask and only really play games or mess with my MP3s.

I believe part of the limitations of 32-bit Windows is no one application has access to over 2GB of RAM. Crossing that line will often lead to crashes. I would think you would post a pic of a true 1080 image instead of an upconverted one! I also have the BSG series on DVD, not BD, but I don't have BD for my PC yet. Just don't see the need now.

*drumroll* gwar, huh, what is he good for? Absolutley nothin Say it again y'all!

Bah, a real man doesn't need any of that! I was unemployed when I met my wife and didn't actually get a job until we moved in together 6 months later!

The A-10s are being converted to the A-10C as we speak, they're not going anywhere. Also, we tend to lose a lot fewer of those, in peace and combat, than you might expect!

While that's good, technically this was about GT Legends, not Grand Prix.

You're looking at today. That's nice, but it's not the point. The F-15 first flew over 35 years ago. We're still building them, brand new, for forces around the world. The B-52 first flew in the 50s. It was "replaced" by the B-1, but we still have B-52s on the front line. The B-1 first flew in the 70s. It was "replaced" by the B-2, but we still have B-1s on the front line. What's going to replace the F-22? Not the F-35, wrong design. Usually you stop building one generation when you start designing the next (if you look, F-15C production actually stopped around the time the ATF program started in the late 80s). If you think we won't have F-22s still flying in 2050, think again. We may still have Super Hornets then! We built hundreds of B-52s in 15 years, of which around 50 are still in service. We're building 187 Raptors...how many will still be in service in 2050? Don't talk about a hypothetical UCAS which may never come, we're talking about building TODAY what has already been paid for in R&D and literally only costs us parts and labor now vs spending a ton more money for R&D on a new (unpiloted) plane that may be cancelled. So for all those wondrous numbers about what other countries have TODAY, what will they have in 2040, when all we'll have are 180+ (if we're lucky we've lost less than 7...not) Raptors and a larger number of less stealthy, less capable, less expensive F-35s. One last thing that people CONTINUE to ignore. We don't need F-22s just because "they" have J-10s. They could have MiG-21s and 23s only for all it matters. What counts is do they have old SA-6s still, or are they using modern S-300 and S-400 and whatever else SAMs in 2040? Just because our F-15s can beat their whatever-they-are over OUR airspace, what about if we're fighting over THEIRS? Remember the F-22 has officially been given the F-117s mission, so it will be sent in where the F-35s can't even be sent to take out SAMs (because you always will send an F-22 before a B-2). We're paying today for our security for decades to come. Don't think it's so easy to restart F-22 production in 20 years when we're going to "need" them, because it won't be and it will be too late then. We paid for F-22 development during the 90s when we had the money to spare. The country is now broke until 2050 pretty much, so we need what we can get.

In this book: http://www.amazon.com/Great-Book-Modern-Wa...k/dp/0760308934 there is a diagram in the chapter on the evolution of the YF-17 from the F-5 showing all the unbuilt design iterations inbetween. When you look at that diagram it becomes forehead-smacking obvious!

There is a time compress key that will take it up to 8x, but I forget what it is. No skip to next waypoint.

Well, to be honest Samsung has a far better rep than Westinghouse.

You must install with admin rights, but you should run the game without admin rights just fine. You shouldn't need to fiddle with folder permissions anywhere. It's possible there's a different reason for your issues than permissions...do you have the latest drivers for your video and sound?

I forget which the command is, either Shift-F1 or Ctrl-F1 (as I have it mapped to my stick), but it will shift you in your seat and center the pipper in those planes. The actual cockpits had the sites off-center for improved visibility when NOT in combat. During the (relatively) brief times the pilot was in combat trying to shoot a plane down, he had to lean to the right slightly.

Well it certainly looks like an Akula, but I wouldn't know a Charlie if it ran me over. Perhaps Pakistan is unaware that a nuke-powered vessel is not a nuclear armed vessel by definition!

I think it has more to do with the smirk he's got on his face ruining the shot than anything else!

What surprises me is when I was in college, I never saw this sort of extreme leftist/anti soldier sentiment. I went to college right after the 1st Gulf War, and Clinton was elected my 2nd year, but it just wasn't very political then. It's almost like the 60s again now, where every student or recent graduate thinks THEY have the answer to the world's problems. I didn't know anyone in my graduating class who thought that about ANY topic!

He just means that it may take MORE than 1 day to fully dry if it's cold or humid.

I've never been a fan of the chin-intake designs, personally. Not A-7, F-8, F-86D, or the X-32. Realizing at the 11th hour that they need a tail and being a pure delta wouldn't cut it for carrier ops really hurt them I think.

That procedure was more necessary for the original SFP1 sims through WOI under vista. Starting with SF2 TW's sims are "vista friendly" and are designed so after install you don't need admin rights to mod. As for modding SF2, check the knowledge base for the full details.
