Maybe we should ask the Russians if we could use their bomb?

LOL, no! That's a REAL Saturn V, not a mockup like that shuttle on the tank/booster tank is. The only bad thing about it being upright is you don't see how big the engines really are anymore. However, the one at KSC is on its side, and indoors.

Why? He has an Oscar from shouting "Show me the money!" doesn't he?

No, not the curtains!

What's the rough ETA on this? This winter? Next year? I don't need a month/day.

The all-in-ones like Op Tainted Cigar for SFP1 and NATO Fighters 1 and 2 for WoE are certainly the best intros for noobs...one-stop shopping and all that. However, there's no doubt that bundling these things together seems to take far longer than it does to make them individually, between hacking out permissions and incompatabilities.

In aviation, I have an EF-111 and a Tu-22M3 sitting in boxes. The 111 is actually about 60% done...and has been for about 15 years! In SF, I have the USS Voyager, the USS Defiant is about 80% done, the NCC-1701-C, a few Star Wars fighters... and who knows when I'll finish them. Maybe when I retire...

Just remember this--who killed the F-14D??

The final resting place of Holy Grail is the Castle Arrrrrrrrghh... What? Castle Arrrrrrrrghh... What is that? He must have died while carving it. Oh, come on! Well, that's what it says! Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve 'aaaaaggh,' he'd just say it! Well, that's what's carved in the rock Perhaps he was dictating... Oh, shut up!

I caught the news that Tarr Chronicles, formerly available only in Russian, in Russia, has gone gold for a N American release. I'd suppose that implies full English translations.

Now if it had real working guns...

I saw that yesterday, neat POV. I was there a LOOOONG time ago...1991 I think? Anyway, the Saturn V was on its side in stages on the original trailers and the A-12 was literally in the parking lot with a rope around it.

Right, Congress pays the bills and holds the purse strings. While you can blame a president for what the military does, you can't blame him for its size or equipment.

She turned me into a newt!!! I got better.

Yeah, Steve Colbert does the voice of his boss on HB, with Gary Cole being the Birdman himself. Actually, there's a Capt at our base whose name is pronounced "kay-zor", and everytime I see the nameplate on her door I say that to myself..."Captain KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYZORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

So is self-righteousness.

If you know there are cruise missiles incoming, there are F-15Cs, Super Hornets, and Raptors equipped with the latest AMRAAM model optimized for cruise missile defense available. However, if you DON'T know... Besides, the biggest threat is going to be a cruise missile launched from an innocuous-looking ship off the coast. Open a cargo container, reveal the launcher, fire away. It's all about deterrence and threat of retaliation. The problem is we're rarely facing a nation that can be retailated against directly nowadays.

When I first read this thread, I thought it was for Dr Hfuhruhurr.

We dine well here in Camelot

Just my wife and mother-in-law. Like her mother, she didn't marry one.

Yes, the Blackshark addon for LOMAC featuring the Ka-50 should be the LB2 of the 21st century. Well, almost. Still no dynamic campaign, but the systems fidelity and FM should be the best we've seen. I played Hind quite a bit in the late 90s. I remember dodging Stingers launched by those little men quite often! It linked up with the previous sim, Apache, for H2H action, but I never got to try it.

THE USAF NEED A BLCK 100 VERSION WITH THRUST VECTERING AND AWSOME RADAR PLEESE MAKE THIS KTHXBYE

Miffed? Yeah, me too. A year after I started working here, in 2003, there was an airshow with the T-birds AND Blue Angels. It's supposed to be a biannual event, but the 2005 event was cancelled because of "the combined pressures of overseas commitments and an upcoming ORI". The ORI was done a good month plus before the event would've happened, and the BA's and TB's aren't affected by that stuff anyway. I don't know what the deal was. Then early this year I heard talk of the return again...and it just never happened. Nothing worse than working at an AF base for over 5 years and only getting 1 airshow over 4 years back...

It's the one that I know is in the works, but don't know exactly what it will do or when it will be coming out.

I totally forgot about OFP/ArmA because it's pretty much an infantry sim with armor and air support added in. I do agree about the FMs, though. It was far easier to fly around in OFP than it is in ArmA, unfortunately.
