So...is this going to be a full-assed model then??

Heh, you do know I've got like the 2nd highest number of posts on SimHQ, right? When the DoD started blocking SimHQ my visits dropped off so I don't post so much anymore, but I still visit a couple of times a week.

This is more of a tech question, but does anyone know if there are enough animation slots for an F-35B to convert to the hover? What with all the doors and swiveling parts, I would think we could run into some trouble with that one. Doesn't apply to the A or C of course.

Well, Ubisoft hosts the official forums for it, but I don't know how much (or little) there is written there about it.

Is it an AGP model? If you have that aperture setting too high I believe it takes RAM away. Also, 32-bit Windows has issues when you put more than 2GB of RAM in as far as addressing and it's also related to how much RAM your video card has. 64-bit Windows do not suffer that limitation, and in fact it's one of the main reasons for its development. In short, unless you go to XP 64 or Vista 64 you may never see it all.

I miss the old days of SimHQ racing from late 06. That was when everyone was casual about it and no one took it seriously. When they started taking themselves too seriously is when I left.

If a gamepad wasn't viable, there wouldn't be any FPS games on consoles, because no one would be able to play them. With the release of the first Halo the writing was on the wall for us PC FPS'ers that have been playing with m+kb (or if you go back far enough, kb only! No mouse support in Wolf 3D and I never used it in Doom).

I never understood the demonizing of the troops during Vietnam...when most of them were drafted and didn't choose to be there in the first place! Were these people expecting draftees to refuse to serve in the hundreds of thousands and go to jail instead? Did choosing to serve instead of going to jail make them an automatic criminal?? At least people know you don't blame the hand for the choices the brain makes now. Not to say there aren't soldiers out there who have stepped out of line, that's a fact of life that's been around for millennia, but I think the US has the smallest number percentage wise now of any previous time in its history. It used to be that things could be easily covered up and no one would know, but not anymore.

That's because they're not REALLY communist, at least insofar as the book definitions went. They're totalitarian with a heavy socialist underpinning, but they're not communist. The major point of communism of course is that the workers want things to be communist, hence no purges would be necessary. I know they were license producing the J-11, so I guess the problem is they kept building them after the end of the agreement without making the necessary payments to Sukhoi?

Either he's standing on a box, or that guy in back is REALLY tall.

Guam is hot. Guam is wet. Electronics don't care for either. However, I see this problem all the time...knowledge that becomes "common" to some people but isn't properly communicated. Those at the bottom will likely tell those at the top and assume it's then redelievered to everyone else. Those at the top assume that in addition to being told themselves, the info was also distributed amongst those on the bottom. Bottom line, everyone thinks the other guy is getting the word out so no one does.

The E-2 has more tail fins than a classic car convention for a reason.

When SoW:BoB has been in development for 10 years, I'll agree. Until then, it's not even as bad as F4 was. That released 3 years late.

Oh yeah, I do remember having a problem with that tank mission. I was playing it in the middle of the save game bug of 1.1, though, where at a certain point saves would start to take forever and the files would grow gigantic in size. However, I reloaded from a save point right around the time you get the tank and it worked fine for me the 2nd time. As for my R6V2 comment, I was referring to the fact that the sequel is a glorified expansion pack with few changes to the engine or anything like that.

What will likely stand as the largest (successful) military operation executed in history, but not without great sacrifices.

Being at a base that has had several consecutive excellent and outstanding ORI's in a row, I personally can't fathom failing one. Especially when they had such a highly publicized failure and then had MANY months to rectify the issues.

What can I say? Both our countries hold special meaning for the phrase "never again." :pioneer:

For a transport.

So, this is sort of like R6 Vegas 2, then? I enjoyed Crysis, although I hardly think it was anything revolutionary anywhere but with the graphics. The suit was just another version of Force powers from the Jedi Knight games. As for 1.3, I never played it MP anyway, so whatever. The SP part of the game works fine and that's all I care about. This new studio doing it, though, gives me pause. A first effort is never as polished as later ones (although devs can of course regress as well) so I'm reserving judgment at this time.

Israel doesn't have the money to develop their own 5th gen fighter. No one does, really. I can understand the attitude of wanting Israel to buy US stuff, though. I mean, when you're handing out billions in aid, you sort of expect them to use that money right back, you know? Now if Israel simply paid outright for everything they had, I would look at it differently. Then it would be a case of do whatever is best for you, outright. That's why I don't believe the UK or Oz or India should be pressured into buying US stuff. If they want it, fine, but they can go elsewhere too. After all, it's not like we're giving them anything for us to expect that in return. Want to buy Euro stuff? Russian? Whatever, your prerogative!

Just saw this on MSNBC.com. Things can only go up now...there's no imaginable way they could get worse!

No, they weren't. However, in the early days before things really solidified there's the likelihood they at least were around to examine some of it.

It's got very little internal fuel storage with that layout.

I love the South Park episode where they go to Costa Rica to see the rainforest. At the end, they have on the screen: Every year, the rainforest kills dozens of people. Stop the rainforest before it can kill again.

Somehow I don't believe either will prove very useful then.
