5th of March in Kazakhstan during the opening of a ski festival someone fired up Livin' la Vida Loca instead of the national anthem. Watch http://tengrinews.kz/strange_news/209570/

Ramming is unpredictable crap in SF2. I've seen AI P-51D chop off the tail of AI F-16 with the prop. As for AIM-9 it's as if their power is random. Sometimes they shred a bomber to bits, other times they barely scratch a fighter.

They switched the website into low-bandwidth mode too.

The torrent option on GH is fast and steady.

Right... their website is down and links are unreachable. Ah. here's one http://www.gamershell.com/download_87172.shtml

Is it like Mount & Blade only with a budget?

To their credit at least the menu theme is new. One of them...

Oh, yeah... This is what a main menu looks like, when somebody works on it.

So, what happens if they're loaded onto stock campaign squadrons?

It looks fabulous! Have you tried updating the graphics card drivers?

Why not the other way round? You won't see the huge Soviet interceptor fleet otherwise.

It does get better as the reporter moves away from dense cities, military bases, rusty tanks, child labor brick makers, poppies... Afghanistan looks at its best in those areas where no people are involved.

It can also be said that he made steps towards FlaklandsFalklands with off-map bombing and, well, the sea. To continue the walking metaphor, after taking those steps he's now standing with legs spread wide, hoping that 2NA sales don't kick him in the balls.

Beta testers.

We need an "Attack and destroy the enemy Tree" mission. And probably we'll need The Larch.

Wow... can this be applied to ground-based SAM?

Maybe that's why they merge with the Red fleet.

Bah, who needs it now. GOG released the good ol' Hind.

Preliminary results of the investigation are in and point to the crew losing orientation at night in a snow storm. Probably didn't eject for the same reason. *sigh*

A journey of a Russian photographer through the country from the capital to scrap yards to poppy fields. With notes in Russian. This, I think, should be an online-translator-friendly version (plain text + pics). Links to any of the 7 parts are at the bottom of the entries - http://zyalt.livejournal.com/409891.html This is a fancy pants gallery edition which includes a few entries not present above (school, market) http://turbina.ru/authors/ilya/journals/697/ Worth a look, even if you're not going to bother with notes, since the pics are just nice, IMO.

You should go ahead and prepare your happy dance for the tool release. Here's an example

Ah, the smell of the stables...

Yes, the edges go up. More so on the side where the blades are running into the air flow. So on Ka two rotors going in opposite directions do come closer in flight on one side. Single rotor isn't without trouble either - careless handling of Hind can chop its tail off, and stuff like retreating blade stall and vortex ring is generally dangerous.

Just google Iceland and forest http://www.treknature.com/gallery/Europe/Iceland/photo208513.htm

Can you check if the old stock maps cause the game to freeze on exiting a mission in both exes? It's just like the Gen1 Vista terrain shader bug.
