I would pay a good chunk of change for another game in the Wing Cmdr/X Wing/TIE Fighter/Freespace style of gameplay again.

I heard some people talking about this mod. I'm going to try it to see how it differs from the ones in GTL.

Unfortunately, we don't get a lot of LOMAC traffic here. That said, I've never tried this as I have my hands full with the planes already in the game.

A lot of people know the Dr.I and Camel. That will certainly help sales. As for "doubling up", well, you can always decide which one you like more and then just fly that one later.

That sort of hostility seems unwarranted...

Enter the world of chem/bio weapons. No physical damage, just takes out the troops.

I don't know, I mean the A-6 never carried AAMs that I recall, and those like the A-4 and A-7 only carried AIM-9s. Was the A-12 even going to have an AA radar? I can't imagine an AIM-120 working without a radar.

The Force is definitely with you, young logistician.

Anyone else here getting the new B5 DVD? I can't wait to see it, especially with the advances in CGI over the years like we've seen in Firefly and BSG. It's too bad the Garibaldi part was dropped and pushed back for the (so far without ETA) 2nd release, but we get Sheridan and Lochley with Galen in the mix.

Someone could easily make those cars for rFactor.

*waves hand* This is not the sim you're looking for.

You have seen yourself use the command? What, do you astral project while flying???

What are 1970 miles in today's miles? I forget the conversion. Is it like 1000 back then are like 20,000 now?

The new BSG is totally different from the old. Think the difference between the Adam West Batman and the Christian Bale Batman and you'll get the idea. I thought the old BSG was great for kids who liked Star Wars. The new BSG is great for adults who liked B5.

Well, you could argue about it, but people would look at you like you walked into the room with soiled underwear on your head.

Yeah, and people say that games that rely on publisher-run servers aren't at a disadvantage. Good thing I'm not playing any of those MP anymore.

The stupid disc access when you die and have to reload does bug me, but I also will stick with what I have. Should it break, I would get the new one to replace it of course instead of an old model, but it's not worth the upgrade.

Yeah, SB from BSG will be in it, at least the early ones. I liked Jake 2.0, but it was at the tail end of UPN's SF series run and didn't last. UPN had a few good ones over the years, including Seven Days, that aren't remembered much anymore.

Yeah, that distinctive humming/roaring/ripping sound. Don't know of one myself, but I'd think if you could find one on the net you'd be able to modify it pretty easily.

I never bothered with RACE 06 as I heard that other than Macau it didn't offer much other than what you could already get in GTR2 and rFactor. For an owner of those, is there anything really compelling about R06? I will consider R07 if it's a big enough leap ahead, though.

I'm a little confused as Cold War Crisis was the subtitle to the original release of Op Flashpoint. I don't know Zero Hour, though.

I've seen commercials on SFC lately for a new Flash Gordon series, and they've got Queen's theme in them. I don't know much else about it, although I've heard the show is to be more "serious" and less "campy" like the film was 25 years ago. It starts next month, so I figure I'll watch a couple of shows and give it a shot. I watched maybe 6 of Painkiller Jane before I gave it up, so maybe this will be better.

Serenity took some time to get going. I didn't get hooked till...around the time it was cancelled. Lost is pretty much it right now. It's the reason the other 3 shows were made, but they didn't make it and now we have nothing on network TV.

I remember Elf saying there was an F-15 2.0 in the works, possibly around the time of the A-10 game, but both were cancelled shortly after Jane's F/A-18 release. Other than that, Jane's F-15 was the last commercially released F-15-only sim. LOMAC had the F-15C, released a few years later, but its loading screen was the one with the guy in camo with his back to the camera directing the plane. WoE has the F-15A, but its loading screen is just a pair taking off. That's it for combat sims with F-15s. I would've loved to see another Strike Eagle sim, but Jane's was the last one. I'm thinking the loading screen you remember seeing way back just doesn't show anymore because your PC now is far more powerful than what you had back then.

Anyone come up with it? Yes. Projects such as Operation Tainted Cigar for OFP and NATO Fighters 1 and 2 for WOE, among others. Excellent "all-in-one" solutions. However, due to issues with modders getting permissions from other modders and such there are a limited number of them.
