Está lindo el Chinook, felicitaciones

Early morning CAP. Wingman is 'shooter':

VERY NICE! OMG look at those nozzles and reheats... :ok: A2G capability with JDAMs would be highly appreciated by yours truly :yes:

Yeah, sure

Hunting some tanks in Iraquistan: CLOSE AIR SUPPORT, YEEEEAAAHHH!!!! GET SOME!!!!

Thank you, bobrock! Looks and works great!

D'ya know what we really need? Brand new FRS.1/FA.2 SHar models, wouldn't that be sweet? That's way beyond my skills, though...

I have an even more embarassing question about SF2... how different is it from SF/WOE/WOV/WOI? Is it worth buying or should I stick to the original TW series?

Looking great! Very nice work!

Sí y también le pusieron "Needs To Understand the Meaning Of Community". Pero qué fue lo que hizo el tiiiiiiipo. O sea, hasta donde yo sé, tiene su página de descargas más bloqueada que con cinturón de castidad y todo pero si es un cerdo fascista y le provoca poner 1000 trabas para descargar sus modelos "freeware" (PLOP), es prerrogativa suya, ¿o no? Qué problema hubo entre él y los moderadores de CA para que sea un tema tan espinoso de tratar que un post al respecto lo borren sin más.

Yo quiero saber quién es y qué hizo el tipo para merecer lamerle los chochobolos a alguien

EVILDOER!!!! @ fougamagister: beautiful shot!

Chuck Yeager's Air Combat for me here, too.

Ok, one last question (I promise!): do you know how to turn the smoke effects from the engines OFF, after the aircraft has touched down? I've noticed the effects kick in only after the aircraft has reached a certain airspeed on its takeoff roll but I'd like them to be turned off once the aircraft is back on the ground again. Seriously, because this looks like some sort of "Pig Pen effect" and I really, really don't like it

Beautifully, lavishly detailed cockpit... I'm all for it! The Pampa sure looks high-tech!

Inspired by the What does it feel like to be shot? thread... Hell, I don't know, what does it feel like to be under a cluster bomb airburst release of multiple anti-personnel and anti-armour submunitions?

Hey, awesome B-1B you got there! New BL755 skin: ... and a Harrier, simply showing off (taken with Ye Olde camera, of course):

Blimey! That reminds me of a GR.3 skin I have left unfinished :(

Oh, my dear Lord... that is a flight sim! I guess you could buy one, providing you have a military budget at your disposal. Nine projectors, 120 computers? And the same software operational in an actual F-16? Sure that doesn't come cheap! Best guess is that the cost of one such flight simulators could be up to a third of the cost of one actual F-16 so if you have like 20 million dollars to spare and the right connections, sure, you could buy one!

Anyway, changing subject a little bit... although there's nothing really special about this shot, I took it while on a training mission during pitch-black conditions and I got so scared watching my altitude indicator dropping fast and my jet not even clearing the bottom of the cloud cover that I had to release some flares to check out where the deck was

"Lets go Fishing..." OMG, that reminded me of... LET'S NOT!!!

Well, it would be hard for an individual who had sustained fatal wounds to tell you how it feels, now wouldn't it?

I can't tell for myself, fortunately... but I can pretty much get the idea from an episode that occured a few years ago: we used to have a person from a private security company coming in the evenings - he usually stayed overnight - to guard our house and of course, he was armed (he had a S&W .38 revolver). But he wasn't too careful or respecful of firearms because he often would draw his 6-shot revolver and play with it like he was a cowboy or something or field strip it while on duty... anyway, we didn't find out about that until what I'm about to tell next, happened... So, I think it was Christmas Eve of 2001 (IIRC) when I was with my family in the living room and heard a gunshot. The guy then started to scream for help. He had been doing the cowboy thing and he accidentally shot himself in the shoulder. My father had to empty the gun himself and take him to a hospital. Of course we complained about this to his employer and they sent us another person but I saw him a few weeks after when he came back with his arm in a sling and all and I asked him what did it feel to get shot and surprisingly, he said he didn't feel a thing, only the kick of the bullet hitting his shoulder and then, a bit of numbness and an unsual sense of warmth in the area around the wound. He didn't bleed, I saw no blood whatsoever because the wound pretty much closed itself after the .38 round penetrated. The pain came afterwards when his body 'realised' it had sustained damage but I think because of the shock of the moment, he didn't feel much at first. I wouldn't like to try that for myself, that's for sure.

Nah-nah, not this pilot, muffin I'll be making myself a necklace with the ears of all the infidels I'll be shooting down from the skies. Non-believers, here I come!
