SpangQuentin Gunslingers in the Cold............

In the last few days, there were a few updates from Microsoft for Windows 10. At first blush, things seemed fine, but I noticed a few oddities in my game controls. There was another one this morning, and now, all the commands I have/had programmed into my stick are all over the place. On the configuration screen, everything looks normal. But when you save it and start the next mission, all the commands seem to have mapped to somewhere else. I pulled a saved version of my control setup from a backup file, and once again, everything looks good. Start the mission, and the control setting are once again everywhere but where I set them. I was using a Saitek X52 (courtesy of Trotski), and all those functions went to the great control panel in the sky. Soooooo, I pulled it off and tried my old Cyborg EVO. Once again, it looked good in the Control Panel, apparently saved just fine, and I thought I had it beat. Start the game, and after 3 seconds I realized the problem was back when I tested the rudder controls and my engines throttled up. Uttering what may be the classic understatement "this could be a problem", I tried the Weapons selection switches, and got Radar Toggle, ECM, Chaff & Flare, and when I selected the Cannon, I got AGM-88's on the screen. (At that point I made a reference to some bombs that were discussed a few days ago) I'm gonna figure this out one way or the other, but has anyone else been seeing these anomalies? I haven't seen anything like this before and I'm kinda stumped. It's comical in one aspect, but annoying as all get out in another. I'm thinking it's something peculiar to my system and Windows version, and praying I don't have to do a reinstall, so I'll take & try whatever suggestions I can get.

While i agree with your nod towards inclusion of all our explosive brothers, drop a string of these 1000 lb special children from an F-4 at less than 50 feet (before the chute has time to fully deploy) over an enemy runway, and the resulting negative reaction of your aircraft to pieces separating hurriedly from the frame will make you utter that very phrase, and THEN you will understand why they are called "retarded" bombs. And it ain't got nothing to do with the bombs. Trust me on this one.

I'm rather surprised not to see the Serbian M-84 AS1 in this lineup.

THAT is cool!!!

NO. At some point this illogical & persistent myth is going to HAVE to be put to rest, as there is no scientific data anywhere that shows this virus was a deliberately created pathogen, a laboratory construct, or a purposely manipulated virus. If there were, it would be front page news worldwide, and not consigned to conspiracy web postings run by youtube educated research scientists looking to spread fear and confusion. I suppose that for whatever illogical reason, it's how they get their jollies. I can understand the fear the virus engenders....but NOT the hell-bent rush to blame any country that is suffering from the same virus that we all are dealing with just because they are the "Boogeyman Of The Month". If it takes a 3rd shot, get the shot, encourage everyone you can to get the shot, move on, and let the scientific & medical professionals continue to work at it.

I died on this one....... It was so perfectly deadpanned.

According to this information, a static unit is an available option. " Furthermore it can be deployed in a stationary module or on naval vessels, depending on customer requirements." Pantsyr (SA-22 Greyhound) Short-Range Air Defense System | Military-Today.com

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! This footage makes you rethink your career choices, and why you didn't take that safe job in EOD.

I suppose I shouldn't be, but I'm still astonished at the amount of people that believe that earthmen are the only life in the universe; intelligent or otherwise.

So did a slew of ours. If you listen to some of them, we were MINUTES from a Horrible Death!!!!!! https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/chinese-rocket-debris-passed-over-n-y-c-l-it-n1206311

You mean debris from the rocket used to launch a core module into orbit. The station is not falling. https://www.space.com/china-space-station-rocket-launch-debris-falling
