  1. Cool! Congrats to you, no small feat there.
  2. Ok, cool. With MP AI I might be able to convince some people to get it.
  3. Less distance. HL2 came out 6 years after HL1. Halo 3 is I think 4 years after Halo, and 2 after Halo 2?
  4. We have an SF section for things like Star Trek. While orbiter is less "fiction" and more "science", it still fits close enough.
  5. I'm not sure why they put twin outward-canted tails on this F-5, but I know why it was done on the F/A-18--high AOA yaw control. The LERXs on the Hornet increased lift and agility, but the resulting vortices would impact the tail at high AOA and nullify its control. By canting them outward, they were brought outside the path of the vortices and regained yaw stability. This F-5 has no real LERXs that I can see. Also, being so small it doesn't need twin tails, a single tail would suffice. I'd say it has more to do with the visual impact than anything else. It works, doesn't mess it up, and LOOKS like they did something major to it. One major point to note, though...it's all in English.
  6. Some people don't understand violence and think you should never respond with violence, even if it's in response to violence upon yourself. That's a nice theory. However, that's not the world we live in. If you don't respond, you are weak and invite more attacks. If you do respond, you are suddenly the violent aggressor because the first attack with violence can always be rationalized as the "only" method of retaliation for some other type of attack. It's all reprisals and retributions going back thousands of years and no one cares who started it anymore.
  7. Not a surprising idea, other than it's being done by Borat.
  8. Il-2:46 has some early guided missiles in it. I forget which one it is, it's an AAM though. However, I've never used it so I don't know how it works in game.
  9. Actually, I think it's more that since those arcade games are about the visuals over the fidelity so they have the manpower to devote to it. The masses want it to look pretty, they don't care about climb rates.
  10. India will be getting several soon, along with a new (formerly Russian) carrier.
  11. "Today's word is SCUMBUCKET. My landlord is a SCUMBUCKET. Can you say SCUMBUCKET boys and girls?"
  12. Also, consider this. WWII was the first war using radar. It was used from the beginning, in the BoB and onward. Planes began carrying it and being able to detect it by mid-war. Yet not ONE WWII sim I've ever played had planes with radar in it. Why? Because I'm sure they didn't want to be bothered, that's why. Nothing classified about it, nothing hard to find out about it, they just thought it would be too much effort for too little return.
  13. That one ship looks like a B-2 with warp engines! Is that a Klingon ship too? Always loved the D-7 in all its variants.
  14. I still need to try the demo for this. Is there MP support for AI? rFactor has this, but GTL and GTR2 don't and is one of their biggest shortcomings for me.
  15. All of those look pretty good except the Civic. There's a car that cures insomnia!
  16. Perhaps they lived shorter because of disease? As War of the Worlds mentions, we've spent millions of years adapting to the viruses and bacterias that live here. Maybe those dinos just didn't have immune systems quite as strong and they died from injuries or illness far more often than old age.
  17. I just looked, and I'm right out of parrots. I see. I see. I get the picture. I've got a slug. Does it talk? Not really. Then it's hardly a replacement then. Look, if you go down to my brother's store in Bolton, he's got one and he'll be happy to replace it. Bolton, eh? Very well. *goes to Bolton* This is Bolton, is it? (with a fake mustache) No, it's Ipswitch. That's inter-city rail for you. *returns* I understand this IS Bolton. (still with the fake mustache) Yes? You told me it was Ipswitch! It was a pun. A PUN?!? No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards? A palindrome...? Yeah, that's it! It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!! Well, what do you want? I'm not prepared to pursue my line of inquiry any longer as I think this is getting too silly!
  18. The tricky part was you had to open the bay doors to take the pictures, but it made you VERY visible on radar when you did. It was all about timing it just right between radar sweeps. Also, no hard turns or they'd get a big return off your top or belly!
  19. I'm going to try it this weekend, haven't installed it yet.
  20. There are also the "illegal" kills that took place across a border that shouldn't have been crossed. I once knew a guy online who'd killed a MiG...but it wasn't NVAF or over Vietnam, so he didn't get official credit since no one wanted to antagonize China too much and make a repeat of the Korean War.
  21. Besides, everyone knows it's Utahraptor that's like the big, scary ones seen in the film, not velociraptors.
  22. You stunned 'im just as 'e was wakin up!
  23. Those recon missions in F-19 were the best EVER. In Cold War mode, with not only no fighting but no sightings allowed!
