I'm afraid I can't say.

I think the Typhoon and F-22 have something to say about that!

Wings over Middle Earth

Well, no one said she was perfect!

*waves hand* You have seen me land many times. They have all been picture perfect, even with severe battle damage. You can go about your business. Move along.

I've wanted a Sukhoi T-4 ever since SFP1 came out. Mix a B-58 and an XB-70!

She could call you 37y...

You guys should've seen the Harrier thread at Eliza Dushku.net! She looked good in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, which was 6 yrs after True Lies.

Excellent! "Wings over Comprehension"!

I use time compress a LOT. I'll also use Alt-N if I'm in a hurry for some reason. I always start and land on the runway, though.

The A-12 was a single-seat Blackbird flown by the CIA, it didn't do attack. That was the LATER A-12 that was known as "the Flying Dorito" that was canceled by Cheney in 1990 or so. The YF-12 was an interceptor IR tracker/radar/missile armed fighter with internal missile bays. That would be awesome to use against waves of Soviet bombers!

Sky Captain and his long-range, multi-seat, underwater-capable P-40 would love to land on one of those!

Problem: those actors are a little old now! Plus it predates the prequels and a lot of what happens there is kind of invalidated by them.

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable snowjob to me. Since when did Russia become the used car salesman of the arms exporting world?

It's good they fired him...he's too STUPID to keep flying!

Ah yes, I remember. I had lasagna.

Can I get mine in Ferrari red?

I think supercruise has to be a substantial amount over Mach 1. Lots of older jets could break Mach 1 without afterburner in a clean config if they made a shallow dive or something first, but we're talking Mach 1.05 or such. Most "supercruise" is more like Mach 1.2 or higher. As for reducing the RCS, just look at the Super Hornet. Bigger than the old Hornet, but has an RCS far smaller thanks to the inlets and angle changing.

Korea would also bring back carrier ops and give TK a chance to update them over what we had in WOV. There were so many little-known planes back then to use.

That scene was so over-the-top ridiculous. No jet would dare hover INSIDE a multi-level freeway. At the least the plane would have trouble in control, and at worst it would crash. Going over a highway like that that low would result in unstable airflow as it passed from being 6 ft over the road to more to less and back. Also, AFAIK there is ZERO way to fire the guns in the hover. That is for take off/landing, it's not a helo gunship! Also, there's no way he would get that close. Again, it's not a helo. However, the movie makers decided once it got there they could make it into a helicopter and so they did. In short, although it's nice to watch, it's no different from the ridiculous scene with Arnold and Eliza Dushku and that other guy in True Lies.

Supercruise is mostly about the engines but also has to do with inlets and drag. The reshaped wing and different engines likely enabled that. I wonder HOW reshaped the wing is? Mostly cosmetic, or noticeable at a glance?

I thought the J-11B was to use indigenous made engines? Or are they merely licensed copies?

The Su-27KUB is its name I believe. Info is sketchy as to whether it's combat operational or purely for training. I'm not sure if I've even seen a pic of one with paint yet, just primer!

Well, both have already been done by mods technically, but then so was WOI. I'd like a Korea myself. WWII frankly is done to death by games like IL-2 and CFS3 and so on, so I'm not particularly interested in YET ANOTHER WWII sim. I think a Korean War sim, complete with some WWII planes like the P-51, A-26, and Yak-9, would be great.
