The only issue with the Yak-130 pic is the An-2 in the background ruins the scale (should be smaller at that distance) as does the tarmac. No runway is made of stones the size of books. The 1:10 MiG-29 is unreal!

The days when I had to worry about whether or not a store would get a game I wanted are long gone. The last time I wanted one and it was sold out was UT2k4 on its release! I have preordered a few games without discounts since then, but none recently. The only preorders I do now are if I want the game badly enough to get it on release and they have a discount for preorders, like Valve will do with their own stuff on Steam. For example, I preordered FC2 so I got it for $45 instead of $50. I did not preorder FEAR2 since there was no discount. I'm busy with other stuff now, so I'll just buy it when I'm ready to play it or when I see a sale (like I got STALKER Clear Sky for $30 a couple of months before I was ready to start just because of the sale).

Nothing much so far. I've seen a few updates on Blue's News and elsewhere, but all pretty much variations on the original release: game has new (updated?) engine first part of game is old Butcher Bay redone second part is new series of levels I can't remember anything beyond that!

There's no reason or need for that software if you only want to use it as another drive. The software can be useful for other things, like "one touch backup" or restoring images or what not, but it absolutely should work without it.

I remember either John Lennon or Paul McCartney stated the Beatles NEVER played while high because "you'll sound like crap." They would write the initial passes of songs while high, then polish them up and play them later when straight again. In other words, it was great for the initial ideas, but you can't be "professional" when high which is what a good song requires for polishing up. As for the CA get together, I won't be going anywhere until my daughter is at least a couple of years old! She's not ready for travel and the wife won't accept me going off by myself while she has to stay home with her. I've been around people who drink many times, I just don't like it when they get drunk.

It wasn't in the Bond film, rather a boat was created for the film that looked like it.

You can move the Documents folder to another location/drive if you want. Just right click on "Documents" and go to the "location" tab. You'll see the path there. Type in a new path and click "move..." and it will move the directory for you. If you've got that much in it, be prepared for it to take some time, though!

Some IRMs have IIR seekers which "see" the target in a way not too dissimilar from the IR Mavericks. Spoofing one of them with a flare is VERY hard because flares don't look like planes.

Maybe the plane needs to take damage at the attachment point for it to break?

Uh, you feeling ok there, Harold???

Did they not play Over G Fighters?

There's a 2nd terrain in the EP as well. Now I have Verdun and Cambrai in my stock install.

I don't mind if people want to drink or smoke in their own homes. Just keep them 1) off the roads and 2) away from me. I loathe people that are drunk or high. Their behavior is so disgusting... I could hit them in the head with a hammer and cause equivalent brain damage so they'd ALWAYS feel that way and it wouldn't cost them a thing or fund any criminal activities. For some reason, they never want that... Frankly, I don't understand the desire for either and I never will. It is perfectly easy to enjoy yourself without either.

Seeing as every boat I'VE ever seen I've spotted visually, and that big thing is far more visible than your average boat, I think we'll find it just fine!

Since it was an exercise, we don't know for sure. We only know in the rules of the exercise they deemed that shot to have scored. Was the F-22 allowed to go "all out" against a Growler?

LOL, when I was 16 I think MPS' F-19 wasn't yet released! I remember it only because I remember HS...I didn't care for those years. College was 10x better.

"What?" I'm sure he said that several times.

Yes, I don't think anything came from his lions.

The idea of grouping the tankers with the bombers argues against the whole "tankers should double as cargo lifters" idea they've been trying to sell.

Here's a timely reminder to BACK UP YOUR STUFF!

You had to know. After all, dressing up in leather and racing their greased lightnings up and down the streets, you had to know they'd get busted. Beauty school dropouts...

I can understand not having MANPADs, but what about fixed MGs? .50s or the like? That would stop vehicles and helos equally, unless they had a gunship...in which case the prison should simply gracefully surrender.

That design (the one in the screenshots, not the diagram) looks like it would have a fairly high t/o and landing speed.

I don't recall any plane ever suffering from "bay door = air brake". Some have had separation issues requiring things like extending the bomb rack into the slipstream, or an "air dam" to alter the airflow so the store can separate cleanly, but I don't recall ever hearing one story of a plane that had adverse drag that was noticeable over the short period the doors are open.

Left rudder should always make you turn left, no matter what. However, it can make you roll right, depending on the plane. That's why you should make a "coordinated turn" with left roll and left rudder together.
