BEST HDR EVAR

Apparently he finished a film due for release later this year/early next with Sam Jackson. However, there are far worse fates than to be remembered as someone who made people laugh.

You may wish to think of it as $12 for BoB2 and $1 for EE2. That way you may not feel as ripped off. Just sayin!

The NATF and A-12 were both cancelled and the USN got the F/A-18E/F instead. Enjoy!!

Georgia and Russia don't seem to have stopped bickering for 15 years now and it's coming to a boil.

It's not "money", it's cost effectiveness. Right now, UAVs can't do all the jobs. The upcoming wave of true UCAVs might be able to, though.

There's just fewer squadrons. Can't keep them all.

FS2 represent!! Well, mine was on the Atari 800, but the same game.

In US planes the trigger fires the guns, the "pickle" button fires missiles/bombs. In the Russian planes, the trigger fires everything; you have to toggle cannons on to fire the gun.

I'm still wondering when it's coming out, though. I've not heard any official word.

Why, quite simply they mean to inform you that there are people out there of indeterminate numbers who may or may not have had their opinion lowered of Obama by an amount that may or may not be significant. Certainly worthy of a news item.

Anyone remember that old SNL skit/commercial? A boy and a girl hanging out by his car, talking about their plans for going out that night, ending with them saying in unison "I guess we'll just watch TV!" followed by an announcer and titles saying "General Dynamics--the leader in global laser-guided defense technology." It's so true, though, they're spending millions on commercials to influence like 50 people nationwide.

Barbara Walters made it in the old days in a male-dominated industry because of her abilities. Today she wouldn't, despite them, because of her looks. Anchormen can be bland looking, but not the anchorwomen. I'm not sure if this is progress or not.

I haven't driven rfactor in about a month, been flying again. Need to get back! However, I've never cared for any of the Porsche mods. The ones in GTR2 handled so much better for me.

I don't know, I've been reading and hearing plenty of stories about C-5 mission availability dropping due to engine issues. It's like 90% of the time a C-5 flight is scrubbed, it's one of the engines' fault, and their rate is the highest in AMC. I know the rare times we had one scheduled to fly down to ANT or ASC it never seems to make the round trip US-ANT-ASC-ANT-US without a delay in at least one location for an engine fix. The DC-8s are slightly better, they break down every other month or so, and the C-17s seem to NEVER break down (as rare as they are here). I heard the old 141s weren't much better than the DC-8s.

Our last wing cmdr had come straight from Minot. I guess he was the base cmdr there in 02-04 seeing as he was here 04-06. He was very much no-nonsense.

Once again, it boils down to choosing between a turd sandwich and a giant douche.

Yeah, no way I'd ever consider moving out there!

Hard to say as it's an agressor squadron, but my first guess would've been an F-15E.

Well, the F-22B was planned from the start but they killed that so I'm not optimistic. Frankly I could see a 2-seat version of the A and C F-35, but I think the B is out. I just can't picture any way to put a 2nd seat and keep it STOVL without a radical redesign of a large part of the fuselage.

You misunderstand. Track IR is not a 1:1 ratio, just as your mouse's position on a mouse pad isn't a literal representation of where the cursor is on the screen. Try this--stare at one spot on your screen, then roll your ahead around in a circular motion without losing sight of that spot. Your nose points away from the monitor at all times, but you can still see it. That's how TIR works, it monitors your head position and then translates that into exaggerated movements of the screen. I'd say turning your head no more than 30 degrees left or right gives you "check six." Likewise tilting your head back to look down your nose gives you a "straight up" view and tilting your head down a little lets you go head-down in the cockpit.

Done! I've got both CFS3/OFF and FE with its expansion. They're very different although covering the same era. FE and exp would cost you what, 45-50 Euros or so? I'm sure CFS3 is far less than that and OFF Phase 2 is free (Phase 3 won't be, although I don't think they've announced what they'll charge). If you like TK's other sims, you know exactly what FE will be. Change the terrain, WWI planes, WWI themed menus, same basic style of campaign/missions. OFF is good for people who liked/didn't mind CFS3's way of doing things. It is sort of a 2-in-1 setup, though. You run a custom front-end UI that then launches the modded CFS3 when you go to fly and exit back out when done. Not perfect, but workable. There's also a bit of oddity where the enemy AI is kinda brain-dead in single missions but very good in campaign. It's a CFS3-related problem, no way to fix it I know of. I will admit I spend more time in FE, but that's because I fly it coop MP with someone.

I'm still confused about their kid. I mean, you remember those lyrics from Loverboy, right? "Cruise and Holmes DNA just won't splice."

Neither the B-1 nor B-2 served in DS. B-1B wasn't configured for conventional ops yet (it was still nuclear only) and the B-2 hadn't entered service in 91. The B-52G and H did it all. That's right, that was the 52G's swan song as well.
