Oxygen?

I had a similar problem, make sure you've installed all the updates 2. Strike Fighters 2 Israel Jun 2010 Update, 3. Strike Fighters 2 Israel May 2011 Update, 4. update to June 2012 if you missed one, it will CTD. The other possible solution is to redownload the latest install for your games and re-install.

Saddened beyond words. He was a med student with no known issues.

Happy Birthday to you too, shipmate!! :) Yea, the snap, crackle and pop in the morning isn't my Rice Krispies! 61 here. Not quite ready for Social Security yet.

Would W8 be a viable o/s for an older laptop that can't handle W7?

Yabut, REAL artillery is 16" :)

Since at least one person asked, A catastrophic wildfire that has threatened Colorado Springs since Saturday got a good bit of wind behind it and jumped two containment lines late yesterday afternoon. I had a clear view of the unfolding disaster from my office about 10 miles away. We could see the flames engulf the mountainside without the need for scopes or binoculars. The entire side of the mountain that “the scar” resides on was completely engulfed in less than 10 minutes and that firestorm then went into the western suburbs. For those who have been here and are familiar with the area; Mountain Shadows was hit hard and the Flying W is no more. Rampart Reservoir is encircled and Farish Recreation Area is threatened (next). Some of our friends we know have lost their homes. Many others are evacuated. The city north of Garden of The Gods Road and west of I-25, up to and including the AF Academy, is under Mandatory Evacuation. About 32,000 people are presently displaced/evacuated. That's about a quarter of Colorado Springs. Today looks like it will be another very bad day with extreme fire conditions and a catastrophic wildfire only 5% contained. The line is holding at highway 24 and the ridge above Garden of the Gods/Cedar Heights for now, but it is tenuous. The line is holding at Centennial Blvd north of the Garden of the Gods road. Additional evacuations are being announced now over the radio all the way up to Monument and north into the next county. Woodland Park is now being evacuated. Parts of the Air Force Academy are on fire. We are all a long way from the fire for the moment. It would have to burn through most of Colorado Springs and jump I-25 to get to us. A couple of pictures from last night. Keep those evacuated and the firefighters in your prayers. Pray for RAIN!!

Confirmed - 4 KIA.

The CSFD released this video of the fight for the neighborhoods from last Tues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=sBhbR4h3EkA#

heh heh On Midway we had a standard air show routine (excuse me: "Firepower Demo") for whenever it was needed for visiting dignitaries. The flight demonstration package would launch and then everyone would come up on deck to watch the show, er, demonstration. Now, on a carrier with a nice big deck and the island on the starboard side, everyone naturally turns to port. This tendency is reinforced by the airwing guys who all turn to port and watch. So everyone (except the airwing guys who glance over their shoulders every now and then....) are looking out to port as the opening fly-past of two Phantoms approach from starboard, on the deck, supersonic (and not just barely!) in full zone 5 and blast overhead in a thundering pass and zoom climb to the stratosphere while dumping the full load of flares as they rocket on by. absolutely shattering!

oh yea!! although we all know they're standing tall in front of their Wing Commander about now.....

A couple of friends of mine from NEACP days went to flying fire fighting aircraft after they retired from the AF and Navy. Both were killed in separate crashes while fighting forest fires, one of them probably on the flight that you reference.

The Waldo Canyon fire is coming under control, still aways to go yet. Details on the MAFF'S crash are stil sketchy but it sounds as if there may only be 2 or 3 survivors out 6.

The firefighting planes have been in action since the first hours of the fire. 3 C-130 MAFF's have been flying on this fire since Monday. They were flying a non-stop shuttle on the day of the firestorm and have (at last count) over 60 drops on this fire. On the good news - they are getting ahead of it now.

On target!! What makes a modern combat fighter is avionics integration and reliable engines - neither of which has been demonstrated yet. A decade or more until these prototypes are real operational aircraft. Now, if the Chinese industry has succeeded in stealing THOSE technologies - that would be another matter (highly likely by the way!), but not anything that would be evident by a plastic mock-up on a flatbed or an empty airframe that can make a circuit around the pattern.

Aerial photos of the destruction. 347 homes destroyed, one fatality found overnight in the rubble who didn't make it out when the firestorm came in. Several still missing, probable fatalities. Two looters caught overnight. http://www.gazette.c...ow/?id=14963560 I have long referred to such firestorm as a slow-motion, low yield nuclear weapon in terms of energy and destruction. That is exactly what I saw (from 10 miles away) and the devastation shown at the link support that. This is now the most destructive fire in the history of Colorado, and combined with the other fires in Colorado this is the most destructive fire season with over 500 homes destroyed in the last few weeks.

keep in mind that aerodynamics are the same in Mandarin Chinese or American English. It is not at all surprising that aircraft around the world with similar missions have similar characteristics.

For those who have been here, Stanley Canyon just went up. Overall a quiet day so far, good progress on containment in most areas but the fires in the foothills on the AF Academy plantation are going up and Woodland Park is now completing evacuations/is threatened. Dry lightning now coming in.

correct - not lightning. I went into a store on Saturday and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. When I came out 15 minutes later - that slow motion nuclear detonation was climbing into the sky and the fight was on. The fire started on a popular hiking trail - the supposition is that it was caused either intentionally or accidently by someone. The authorities have so far been careful to say they have no evidence supporting the suspicion that it was man-made - but they have no evidence period since they can't get in there yet. Of note, the FBI are also here to investigate this. Also of note, there is a serial arsonist running around setting fires in the neighboring county - just hasn't been caught yet. That supports the suspicion that someone may have set this deliberately. But we don't know yet and won't until the fire burns out and the investigators can get into where it started. The AF Academy still kept some people in, but evacuated all families from the housing areas and all non-essential personnel. Some cadets were still here in preparation for the start of the next induction of Doolies which is today. Most of the cadets here have been placed with sponsor families in the unevacuated part of town. It will be interesting to see how the induction proceeds today. Today is better so far. Cooler, little wind and the skies are a lot clearer. The firefighters are making good progress today in holding and expanding the containment lines. No additional evacuations overnight but no areas have been opened back up yet. Estimate is that several hundred homes were lost. Thankfully; no one has been killed or injured.

We could definitely use some of that here right about now!

Roger, Aye Aye! awesome work.

yep, you hit a couple of points I missed. Thanks! I also combined several of the squadron files into the same plane (so I didn't have four or five versions of a Mk something). I'd be glad to post a combined set, including carrier capable Seafires if requested/authorized.

Super work!! Isn't it supposed to be carrier capable? I had to mod it to fly from carriers.
