MOM!!!!!!!! Dave's head exploded again! Dude, you gotta learn to BREATH between post readings.

I purchased the T-38/C-17 combo from these guys and have been trying to reinstall the aircraft on my gaming computer. The first thing I discovered is that they do an internet based check everytime to try to fly the T-38. If you don't have an internet connection it pukes. (I recently decided to turn off the internet connection on my gaming computer if I don't need it.) Shades of StarForce...... The real problem appears to be the fact that whatever FSD uses to validate "you are only installing on one computer" does not work very well. Every time I tried reinstalling on my gaming computer their log shows a "different" computer. They started off sending me an asinine condescending email saying "we can see you are installing on multiple computers HA HA HA" but as I said, I only have FS2004 on one computer and that's the one I'm installing to. I have sent a couple of follow up emails (some nice, some not so much) but have yet to get a response. Anyway, my recommendation is to avoid these folks if you can. I have had much better luck with other payware providers such as Abacus and Shockwave.

Agreed. Does anyone know if TK can release the avionics stuff he used for the Air Force F-22 sim? We have a very good model now courtesy the modding community. If we could just get the proper avionics and maybe a bit more accuracy in the modelling of steath we would have a real winner on our hands. Same this could be said for the F-35.

The problem with Black Shark is that it is an extreme niche product. ED could have picked any number of other aircraft to model and they pick one that I, for one, have absolutely no interest in. I understand "there will be more aircraft coming" but what will that mean? Do you need BS first, etc.? I have and enjoy LOMAC (skipped on FC) and I've finally gotten it to run OK but I still think it performs poorly compared to other sims. And let's just say I'm not a big fan of ED to start with and leave it at that. The reality is that I fly FS2004, TW sims and F-22 Total Air War more than any others. TAW is dated but it still does a decent job of modelling the F-22. I don't based my enjoyment on the amount or quality of eye candy.

http://www.historynet.com/able-dog-was-the...-ever-built.htm I am a fan of Aviation History magazine and this month featured a nice article on the "Able Dog". This is the internet version of the article. The printed version also included a sidebar story about the infamous "toilet bomb". Fun stuff.

I haven't really gone back and done the research but I find it kind of odd that Obama and McCain were not the "media darlings" early on in the campaign (way before primaries started.) I'm not sure having those two as candidates mean the system is working properly (some Democrats are complaining about the DNC "fixing" primaries in favor of Obama) but I am not sure the media are really in control of anything, either. And, remember folks, this is not new. The effect that William Randolph Hearst had on swaying national opinion on the Spanish American War is a good case in point.

Any that are not political in nature. Couple of these I've seen around here just make my a** weary.

The graphics are impressive. What I find even more impressive is the fact that the community has been allowed to extend these sims far beyond their "out of the box" capability. Some other sim devs could learn from this.

Agreed. Very well done. Thanks very much. This is a lot of work.

Nice pix. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a good time. I'm looking forward to the Offutt AFB airshow here in August.

Speaking of BOB II. http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10951

Microprose Strike Eagle for C64. I also have its great-grandchild Jane's F-15. Mudhens rock.....

Sweet ride, dude.

to those who have served to ensure we have had 232 of them to celebrate. Enjoy the holiday safely, everyone!

More Marilyn trivia: She was the model for Disney's Tinkerbell.

The eye candy is only limited by your machine. BOBII has a lot of graphics options.

Seriously. My worst vision of a post-apocolyptic world would be a bunch of middle-aged guys running around in their underoos. PIXAR movies do not have an age limit.

I'm in. Sorry. Had to wait for payday. You should also be proud to know I am using part of my economic stimulus funds for this. Is this a great country or what????

Yes, where did you download the game? I'm with rugg. I don't think the game itself is available via digital download.

An alternate method I have not found in the KB is to simply delete the HUD data sections that are not needed. Works just fine.

"Aviation p0rn....." Well said. Thanks for the links!

Which sort of points out a major problem in the first place. If you like or dislike a news source due to political affiliation then that speaks volumes to the "fair and balanced" claims of said news source. I am realist. I understand all news sources may have a political agenda. I prefer printed news sources. I use a variety. TV news is show-biz, period.

I am very curious to see what the relationship is between 1 and 2. I've heard that YAP1 is not a prereq to YAP2. I will wait until I see what the website says.

Turn the X-29 into the F-29. Maybe revise it a bit so it has a bubble canopy for better visiblity.
