I don't know if I've ever tried. I just hit F. Some planes like the A-10 have a 2nd position if you hit SHF-F, but that's usually "full" flaps, while F is "combat" flaps. Unless the plane has only one choice, then it's always full.

Zuraw is Polish for stork or crane, and the other part is a slavic-derived part meaning "son of." The only thing I wonder is if our names are actually the same. If you hear mine said in Polish, it doesn't sound exactly like it's spelled. I'm guessing yours is the same, and it's not outside the realm of possibility that it's simply the same name (pronounced the same) that's been spelled differently by the Ellis people.

It opened here on Monday, 7/2. Your post was the night before, saying you already saw it the night before that!

I'll be seeing it tomorrow night, most likely. Damn timezones letting the Aussies see it first!

Article in CNN today about the F-14s being shredded at AMARC to prevent their parts from getting to Iran. Talk about odd paranoia. They ARE on a US installation.

I think my grandfather was born in Warsaw, but I don't really know too much about my father's parents because they both died over 20 years ago, and the one who lived longer was in bad shape the last 5 or so years she was alive and unable to have a conversation. All I know is they had no accent, but my father's grandmother did.

"Autoland rough." "Autoland not installed on this aircraft."

I didn't know Israel had any biplanes left.

No, those were the same ones here. I don't know who Thunderchief was, but it wasn't one of Starscream's buddies. I had Skywarp because I liked the black w/purple outline scheme. I got the 20th anniversary DVD too. Great hearing Eric Idle as Wreck Gar again.

I'm there!

Don't be so sure! Mine is Zurawiecki.

Yeah, the 6600 will be a weak spot for you. However, each patch so far has improved performance. I started at 1.05 and it's just been getting better...word is the old 1.01 and such were REAL bad.

LOL, looks better than the real one does!

So far I don't think there are any "must have"s for ArmA other than the 1.08 patch. Lots of stuff in development, though. MP is the highlight of the game because the friendly AI can be real frustratingly stupid at times. The SP missions that came with ArmA aren't the best, but you can go to sites like armaholic.com and grab many more that will work SP or MP as well as SP-only missions that put the stock ones to shame. The size of the islands and the terrain diversity and detailed towns makes for some great gaming. Games like DoD, CS, and BF are more about team v team adversarial, but ArmA/OFP is all about coop. A small human force vs a large AI force plus numerous vehicles. It's not BF type vehicles, though.

Current prevailing feelings seem to be that EE2 isn't finished yet. Lots of bugs and such, but lots of potential. Most have gone back to modded EECH for now while waiting for the first patch for EE2. Your experience may differ, of course. The UK version of the game is available online, but a US version is coming (and will likely have the 1st patch already in it I guess).

Where'd the Serenity pic come from?

I bet about that time many of the passengers were hoping for their plane to dump them on an island somewhere with the Others.

Who knows? They could have named it based on its sound, its handling... I'd have called it Raisin Bran because of those 2 huge scoops.

He always runs while others walk... He acts while other men just talk... He looks at this world and wants it all... So he strikes like Thunderball...

A full-color version of the maps from the inside covers of the NJO books!

It does? Ugh, the 107 looks like the designer was drunk! Needless to say its high alpha performance would've been nonexistent as the cockpit would've choked off the engine.

I would've been surprised if there wasn't one.

You were in HS when Toy Story came out?!?! Man, I feel old. Anyway, mine is rather self-explanatory. I got it back in the SWOTL days for my tendency to "know" when I have an enemy plane on my six and break before I get hit. I just "used the Force." They say in air combat most of the planes shot down never saw the one who did it. That never happens to me...it's always the one I'm trying to shoot down that gets me!

My wife actually does more than I do.

Yes, but I'm unaware that RF was ever held outside of Nevada before this.
