Fallen Angel, The game is still played quite often. The majority of play has been offline singleplayer action. The biggest reason for the lack of multiplayer online gaming is the Crash-To-Desktop. Many issues were solved with Patch 1, but there are still issues with multiplayer CTD's and other bugs. These bugs are currently being tested by the Beta Team and work continues to release Patch 2. Many have been playing online MP using Hyperlobby. This is free software that allows users to connect to each other for online gaming. Gamespy is used as well, but not prefered amongst online virtual pilots. The missions were ok with the game release, but I think more attention was put into other areas. Since the game has great moddability, there have been several new campaign releases that are absolutly fabulous. You can check out the downloads section for many of the campaigns and new aircraft.

Storm: Couldn't agree with you more. As I stated, I think they are WAY to dark, thus not blending in well. I should have rephrased my statement originally to say NOT VERY. I don't like the uniform, and personally I can understand why you and others don't as well. As far as the "THEY ARE WELCOMING THE CHANGE", well that came from the af.mil sight...so probably just propaganda. Fates

Hey, what about including WWI aircraft. we've already seen some WW2 planes. Or better yet, we could do a Starwars add-on. The desert terrain is much like that of the starwars planet. Cheers Fates

Blue-Grey is VERY profile when many of the men and woman of the USAF work around a cement/concrete/asphalt runways and such... I think they are too dark though. Personally I don't like the uniform at all. However, I'm hearing that the men and woman of the USAF are welcoming the change. Fates

REAL CHIEFS Have served on ships that are now war memorials or tourist attractions. REAL CHIEFS Get tears in their eyes when the "Chief" dies in the movie "Operation Pacific."

Ford Island and the memorial look great! But that water is about as FAKE as you can get....IMHO.. Fates

The A1-H "Skyraider" has been done quite well....

OK...I couldn't resist

Here's the skinny:

OK..Here's some more pics:

Lets put X-ray pods on the Warthog...and give them all Bunker-Buster Bombs!!!!! The A-10 could have the priviledge of getting the 1st Air-Underground Kill of a Mig!!!!

Yeah....but Larry's doin a SLAM BANG job at tying this thing up...hehe

My votes on Larry Flynt: http://www.nbc4.tv/politics/2380476/detail.html

AWesome....but I'm thinkin one thing.... When's the Helicopter mod gonna be released.... This would be awesome in the Apache.....see that tree line curving with the road...pop up outta their and BOOM!!!! The A-10 is gonna shake some foundations!!!

Ok Everyone..... AA 1.9 has been mistakenly released......here's the quote: This file is a HUGE one at 605Mb... It's available for those that want to wait on several well known sites...including Fileshack.com and others. I'm waiting for the official release...which should come in the next few days Fates

Because they are trying to switch over all the servers from 1.7 to 1.9....and verify that everything is up and working....I suspect that many , like the ODB have experienced tonite, will have trouble with the authentication servers....or just the servers in general. There's alot to be accomplished...and it just can't happen overnight. My suggestion would be to try to DL the Full-Install....the patch (if any) has not been released. Use the Full install to get use to the new Graphic Interface...as well as qualify for your MEDIC badge. By the time you get thru all that...the servers should be running smoother. Fates

I don't know about "DOWN FOR GOOD" And if he can't help...I'll step in as well to help out where I can... Cheers Fates

Sorry ND....I'm a Jimmie Johnson fan...must have drove by ya too fast to see the thread. I think Marc is aware of the site being down...as it states: IN MAINTENANCE... I'm guessing that he's getting ready to open it back up soon or is currently working to resolve the issue. Cheers

Ok...here's some pics from the new movie...168Mb If you got the time...the MOVIE is AWESOME...you can get it here: http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=3414

I never would have guessed this: From the Military: I just can't keep up with technology..... Fates

Just for fun, If you could combine two or three games to have what you would call your "ULTIMATE" PC game....what would they be? They don't both have to be simulations... They could be an up and coming game...like LOMAC or HL2 ooooohhhh....scarry... Lock-On Meets Half-Life 2 that would be scary! I'm remembering the old Miller commercials where you wanted to watch the NHRA Nationals and your wife wanted to watch the Dog Show....and in the process of fighting over the remote...you wound up watching the "Weiner Dog Nationals" Anyway...have fun with it... I'll start off with mine: DoomIII meets America's Army Fates
