My guess is with the current world situation they don't bother to intercept it until it gets closer. Sort of like asking how close they let Japanese or Saudi planes get...they don't consider them a real threat so they don't do anything until they get very close.

Typhoon was a joke. A sequel in name only, game play is NOTHING like EF2k. Don't bother. The WOE/WoV series does have a dynamic campaign, however it's not very fancy. LOMAC uses scripted campaigns. However, the good scripted ones are far superior to the simpler dynamic ones. Frankly, the only flight sim with a campaign even close to F4's is EECH/AH, the helo sim. There are no others even in that ball park.

The first?? FS1 was the first I ever played, over 10 years before THAT!

I think it would need a bigger MP component than TK's sims have now. As far as how detailed it is, I think LOMAC's level was fine. It has been done before, BTW, with just 2. Razorworks' awesome Apache/Havoc and Comanche/Hokum series. You had campaigns flyable from either side, MP campaigns, savable, good data fidelity without being F4-complex, etc. A jet version of that would be great, although I know TK's existing engine isn't suited for that exactly.

The 142 and 95 are both Bears. The 142 is the maritime patrol version, the 95 was the strat bomber version. You can usually tell them apart by the fuselage length--the 142 has a plug forward of the wing so the nose is much farther forward of the wing.

Well, he was supposed to. "Sir, this device has lights blinking out of sequence." "Well, get them to blink IN sequence and then report back to me!" As for Top Gun, that scene basically was put there for the women watching the film. Tony Scott mentioned something like the guys were gonna go for the planes and drag their women along, so he gave them something to watch. Also, TG really is simply the 2nd biggest chick flick ever made (after Titanic) made up to look like an action film with its fighter scenes.

Argh, now I've got the song running in my brain again!

F-117 was disinformation. I'll reiterate the F-108 as the best. It WOULD have been the best had they built it.

My vote for ugliest century plane -- the F-107! My favorite is the one not built, the F-108.

If you have Il-2 46, both are in there. I prefer the Il-2 for its larger payload.

Yes, but how many of those were by enemy air and how many by ground fire? I believe Hartmann was shot down by ground fire the majority of the times he was shot down...

A 6 week vacation? Longest I've had in my entire LIFE was 10 days.

Why, Airplane! of course. "I flew single-engined fighters in the war. This is a multi-engined airliner. It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether." "It's an entirely different kind of flying." "You like movies about gladiators?"

"What's with waving your hand? You some kinda Jedi or something? I'm a woman, mind tricks don't work on me, only money!!"

Blue Thunder, Jaws, 2010, Seaquest... another great one gone.

I don't think public humiliation can be considered "cruel and unusual punishment", so how about people start doing things like posting PS'd pics of him "enjoying" a donkey and the like?

Ok, so can 5 of us band together to buy 5 of them then?

You don't know what antidisestablishmentarianism means, do you?

I'm a fan of musicals...but the older ones! Gimme something with Gene Kelly in it and I'm set. Or an old Disney animated flick like Jungle Book. Does anyone without kids actually like these HS things?

Yeah, that's an odd spike. I mean, you'd think we'd have a had number in the 1000+ range first before a jump to 2000+.

CFS1 turns 10 yrs old late this year I believe. Not that many still playing it!

Should use that handle in your MP matches of CoD4 or whatever. "...was killed by Hello Kitty."

You want spam, sausage, and eggs without the spam? Blech!!!

Was it the Tranche 2 UK birds that were originally planned to dump the gun? The big question now is Tranche 3...will it happen as planned?

I would think starting in 86 it was always Faltermeyer's Top Gun theme or Danger Zone.
