"All that and a bag of chips" I believe is the original longer version of the phrase...now people just use the shorter "all that."

What, no votes for Six Pack?? For me it's Smokey and the Bandit 2, hands down. More police cars destroyed in that film than in 20 years across every PD in the whole country.

Johnny Rocket's is great, but there are very few around. I know of one in Orlando on I-drive, but I can't recall any others around here. Most of these places you people are mentioning I've never even heard of, let alone seen. Here we have MK, McD, Arby's, Checkers, Subway, Quiznos, Wendy's, Sonic's (a favorite), the "food court only" ones like Sbarro and Chick-Fil-A, Long John Silver, KFC, Taco Bell, maybe an occasional Nathan's... I think that's it. None of those others are here.

Actually, I don't have any. Last I had was one of those inflatable ones from 1978 I think! Got rid of it in the 80's at some point... Still have a bunch of the old toys in the garage, though, and a dozen or so models in various states.

The F-5F isn't the newest plane in the stable, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was a mechanical fault. That said, you can't discount pilot error either.

I have just one word: "YEEEEEE-hawwwwwwwww!!!!!!" Fellow could have a pretty good time in Vegas with that!

Yes, and we won't talk about how old you aren't. [mutters]Yet another person who wasn't even born when Back to the Future hit theaters...can't believe this, born AFTER the SW trilogy...what is this world coming to...[/mutters]

That question might better be asked in the OFF MP forum where all the gurus hang out.

That's easy...ever bought any buns from Oscar Mayer? Or any hot dogs from Pepperidge Farm?

I think he bailed out. The game doesn't have a bailing pilot animation or pilots in chutes, but it does model it non-visually. Is the 86D's FM updated to work with the latest patches? I've never seen an undamaged plane lose control unless there was some FM compatibility issues.

I never flew CFS2 myself, but IIRC full flaps are only used for landing because of the high drag. Try setting them in an intermediate range. If it's one of those rare planes with only 0% and 100%, then try no flaps at all.

Well if the jet is over the river and the building is on the river, they may well be only a few hundred feet apart. However, I agree that appears to be taken at range with a long lens.

Quite easy, really. It's another way of saying you disagree with the administration that sent them there. To say if you don't support the war you can't support the troops is a little like saying the NRA is wrong and you can't just blame the person (President) you have to also blame the gun (troops). Besides, while a soldier is trained to fight, to say it's the main job implies a time of peace is a waste for a soldier. The job is to defend the country, and if that defense takes the form of being such a scary badass that no one wants to fight you, you've done the job superbly! After all, combat in the first place is an acknowledgement of a failure by those at the top to prevent it. That's THEIR job, the troops by themselves can't prevent a war, they can only win one they're told to fight.

Well, personally, I don't care that MJ died, he could've died 20 yrs ago for all the difference it would've meant to me as that was the last time I really listened to anything new of his. Thriller sits on the rack with other classics like Dark Side of the Moon, Tommy, Sgt Pepper, Nevermind...history on disc. That said, it's human nature to care more about those we know than those we don't, and with these stupid celebs people feel like they know them even if they've never met them. Anyone remember when John Lennon died? That surpassed this by a big amount, and he was still making good music at the time. So while the celebs deserve far less than they get and the soldiers far more, it will never change.

That's what it looks like driving around the Cape during mating season. Damned things are all over, along with the walking speedbumps aka armadillos. There's a couple of really BIG ones at the Cape, too, but they don't move much.

Will they lose? Yes. What will that loss cost them? My guess is not much. It's obvious the girl was being a ditz, she wasn't seriously hurt, and her family has come off as looking to make a quick buck. If they're smart, they'll take whatever settlement the lawyer can get them and not bother going to trial as they'll likely get less that way.

Maybe in a year or so there will be some kind of comprhensive package that will be attractive to those of us who aren't diehard WWI fans. I'd pay $50 as long as it had at least 9 planes (3 from each major nation), good campaigns, good MP, and good single missions. The always-on net connect I'm not crazy about, but I have Steam already so I can live with it. I didn't go with iRacing either for the same reason...I want a product that is full-featured, not "a couple of features done REALLY well."

I really can't wait for this to come out and get a good batch of reviews so I can decide what to do. My Cougar isn't holding up well and my RCS pedals are closer to 20 years old than 10!

Well that has to be outdated as they don't call it the F/A-22A anymore. However, with under 200 planes I doubt it will get all these specialized abilities. I can see the ground attack role being increased as it has de facto replaced the F-117, including some limited SEAD/DEAD missions against the toughest targets, but it won't be filling any EF-111 shoes.

It doesn't matter if you brought up game B or not. The truth is being condescending with a "don't fool yourself thinking that OFF offers anything close to a flight model that can be called remotely realistic" is classic trolling behavior. It adds nothing to the discussion, merely presents your opinion as if it's an undeniable fact (which an opinion by definition cannot be) and both insults anyone who believes different and dares them to prove otherwise (when the very statement indicates no such proof would be accepted). While rabu has made lengthy explanations of why he believes what he does, your entire argument has boiled down to "the FM is wrong" with a single example. Unless you work for a 24 hr opinion network and see no problem with preaching to the choir with unsupported "facts" without proof and insulting those who feel differently, I would suggest you should take a different tactic in your discussion. Oh, and disagreeing and/or pointing out statements made in the past are a far cry from attacks. I've also seen it stated several times that FMs in OFF Phase 3 differ from those in Phase 1 and 2, so if that's true making statements about OFF pre-phase 3 have little bearing on the final product. You can't judge a 2009 car by the 1995 model.

286? HA! In my day, we didn't have these fancy x86 instruction sets! We had Pong with 2 knobs plugged into our TV and we liked it!!!

I played it on release, which I think was only up to 1.02 by the time I finished it, but it never did that to me. It would hit with the sound and blurriness, then the little pills icon would show up in the lower left until I took the pills. When I did, it stopped and went away. Every time. As has been commented elsewhere around the net, the whole malaria thing makes for a good story but totally fails as implemented in the game. All it does is annoy you really. The most it contributes is the few missions you have to do to be given more pills. Sucks if it's broken in 1.03.

Of course AEP predates Vista by a good amount, so I'm wondering if there's some detection routine in AEP's installer that's getting confused. Have you tried running the AEP setup in XP compatiblity mode?

Madagascar (and 2) aren't Pixar films.
