It hasn't been about Castro's possible threat to the US in decades. It's all about resentment and punishment which is why it's so stupid.

Florida is the same way...no ice, but the rain is some sort of strange unknown that can't be dealt with...despite it happening like 200 days a year.

Oh. I thought that was two, a master and an apprentice? Ok, seven it is.

Maybe the Dredel song? TK, TK, TK Your sims are all I play TK, TK, TK I fly them every day! Guess WHAT? I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more WOI!!

Another try... My question: "Why do birds suddenly appear everytime you are near?" Your answer: "the game is still meant to be light, casual, fun game with nifty airplanes in it" This is getting to be a real puzzle.

The real Su-30/33's canards aren't in sync with the stabs, they move according to what the computer tells them to do in response to control inputs. Check LOMAC's Su-33 and you'll see they often seem to move counter to what you'd expect.

They know it, too. They're just trying to milk this for all it's possibly worth among the more ignorant.

Primarily, secondarily, tertiarily...

Dassault's problem was everyone wanted the 2000 but no one wanted Rafales. So they decided to force the issue by closing down the line...now nobody is buying French at all!

[Guiness] BRILLIANT! [/Guiness]

It's true that they had to upgrade the equipment on the ships to do this, but I believe it was more because they were shooting at a "cold" target that hadn't yet started reentry or had any passage through the atmosphere. Usually anything you're trying to shoot down will shine in the IR band due to those factors. Other than that, the SM-3 system has had BMD in its plan for years now. Besides, whether or not it could do it before, it CAN do it now.

I certainly wouldn't be able to pick it out in a crowd. It's hardly very recognizable.

No, it's just the Americans that came over to help out are all in the ATC seats. I only got a few minutes in last night (plenty more coming tonight) but I like what I'm seeing here. Of course it's easy to say "this is what SFP1 should've been", but the fact is that other than the general structure the game is very much changed from what we had back in '02.

No, it doesn't work. My question: "How many roads must a man walk down before he can call himself a man?" Your answer: "the game is still meant to be light, casual, fun game with nifty airplanes in it" Sorry, next!

Until the code from the others is brought up to WOI's standards, WOI is totally separate. Once the older ones are patched, you'll be able to move all the stuff over manually, but there's no auto-merge option like WOE had. Right now MOST terrain and planes will work, but weapons are out.

It's been 5 years now and the MP hasn't changed at all in functionality. Only bug fixes and stability enhancements. I wouldn't hold my breath.

It probably makes more sense before translation to English. I never got far with the game, but the premise is an Earthforce destroyer (I think) gets lost in hyperspace and then is found again 10 years later, all very mysterious. I only flew the early missions against Raiders and those guys were tough enough that I got stuck.

I was a big NASCAR and IndyCar fan in the 90s. After the split, I watched CART and gave no thought to IRL. After Montoya's brief stint in CART I found I stopped watching it, and I stopped watching NASCAR around 2002/2003 pretty much. Wow, that's 5 years now! Anyway, in the past few years I at least watched the Daytona 500, but the last 2 I didn't even do that. Haven't watched the Indy 500 really in over 10 years. I liked IndyCar because of the track variety and competition. Road courses, short ovals, super speedways, and good battles. The good old days of Zanardi and Vasser in the Target cars while Paul Tracy was always on the brink of being suspended for boneheaded moves... I hope this can come back, but the truth is all the drivers seem to go to NASCAR now. I mean, Montoya? Franchiti? Villeneuve? In NASCAR?!?

It doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars...just thousands!

AAA, MANPADs, and low-flying aircraft.

China's satellite was at over 500 miles altitude. It will take years for that debris to reenter and in the interim it's a hazard for other satellites and spacecraft. This was at 133, right at the edge of the atmosphere. The only things there are the ones on the way up or the way down, and that's far easier to avoid. Think of it this way...you have to blow up a car to prevent a bomb in the car from going off and causing worse damage (this is one of those bombs like a nuke where detonation is worse than blowing it up). Where would you rather blow it up, in the far corner of the lot or right in the middle where all the other cars are?

There would be no more around than there are F-4s, if that. The Arrow was costlier and more complex than the F-4, so something tells me that best-case scenario Canada would've retired them with the collapse of the USSR. We're now replacing fighters that first flew in the late 70s, so a plane 20 years older (that's not a bomber or transport) would have no hope of staying current.

The Super Bug is likely stealthier than any other planes except for the B-2, F-117, F-22, and F-35. Compared to planes like the Typhoon and Rafale it may be a wash, I don't know, they tend to keep those specific numbers classified. There are F-16s with AESA too, you know!

F-35 and F-15 are totally different planes. Buying F-15s do to the job is wastefully inefficient.

There's no doubt that was one of the largest "fighters" ever built.
