What's wrong with this sentence: New CH-47F Chinook helicopter begins Operational Testing with U.S. Army I can't believe they would use the word "NEW" and "CHINOOK" in the same sentence. http://www.gizmag.com/go/6862/

There are just a few simple rule we moderators will enforce on this site and its forums. 1) Absolutely no personal attacks against another member of this forum, or implied about another member of the community. 2) Your opinions are your opinions, state them and move on with a clean, professional debate. Once it becomes personal, see #1 3) No politics, religion, spam, and advertising will be tolerated. These lead to #2, which leads to #1. All we're asking is for a measure of maturity and common sense when you post. There are members from all over the world here and in all age groups. PLEASE keep that in mind when posting. We want everyone to have a great time here and hopefully use the resources available in our file downloads and member galleries as well.

Blackwater’s Little Birds are not invulnerable, but they are protected by a pair of gunners hanging out of each side door. http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?...&ran=135888

First Eagles rocks! WAY better than I expected.
Fates replied to rotagen's topic in WWI Flight Sim Discussion
Welcome to CombatAce. -
Have you gone into Device Manager and completely deleted the old drivers before installing the new. This has always been the way that I have done my driver updates for my 9800 Pro All-in-Wonder, and my X1900XTX. This would be advisable.

Moving Files to the First Eagles Forum
Fates replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
If the skin files are put in the WWI Skins Folder, they will be put in the FE File Announcement forum. If they are put in just the default "Aircraft Skins" then they will not be posted in the FE Forum. I wish there was a work around for posting in both places, but for now, we will move files were appropriate. I've been leaving a copy behind in the WOE Forum just to let others know as well. Fates -
I would contact Alienware and ask them if the machine you are looking at can be constructed with Win XP and possibly offer a Vista upgrade software that you could install later. However, I've talked to several gamers and they are noticing that biggest issue so far with their games is that you must be and administrator on the machine to run it or something to that extent. I would definitely try to find out more information about the Alienware machine. I will also ask a couple of guys I know running vista and see what they say about the games they play.

The full changelog for 1.0.10 is listed below: PATCH 1.10 CHANGELOG ==================== ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The "Vector to Tanker" call now calls the closest tanker when the assigned one is too far away at the time of request. Fix SAM units being sometimes fixated on far away flights. "Vector to Package" now tells the vector to the next flight in the package (e.g. Escort) when player is lead in the first package flight. Increased lethality of enemy AI. Better energy management when entering merge of engagement. Fix MADDOG missiles not being recognized by the locked AI plane. AVIONICS / WEAPONS Fix for A2G missiles with large blast radius exploding way up in the air. Fix for prioritizing best weapon regarding the R60 and R13m (e.g. MiG-21Mbis). Adjustment on letality of SA7, SA14, SA16, HN-5. Fix so R27RE and -TE aren't fired at extreme range, losing lock. DATA Fixed an issue with Matra-530D missiles not showing on a Mirage 2000. Fixed an issue where MiG-21-93 had ghost R-13 missile in loadout screen. Fixed an issue with A-10 center hardpoint not showing both bombs loaded. Fixed an issue with sandbag revetment causing damage to aircraft. Also fixed an issue to make the three-sandbag revetments usable next to depot at some airbases. Fix the wingman facing your way at Seosan airbase, taking off in TAXI mode. CAMPAIGN Added EF-18G Growler to Tactical Engagement and Campaign for manual tasking. For Korea: Iron Fortress, make Russia and China entering the war more probable. Slight increase of aircraft per squadron count when each side enters the war, especially Russia and China in 2005+ campaigns. Increase of manpads available in the SAM AD units. COCKPIT Fixed too large AOA bracket on Head Up Display. Fixed jumping CCRP release cue in GMT radar mode. Remark: the cue can still "jump" by a specific amount, as the cue shows a lead on moving vehicles - when they change heading, the cue "jumps". Fixed position of RWR symbols in 3D cockpit. Fix RWR contacs being displayed white in 3D cockpit when HSD is the SOI. Correct HUD/MFD text alignment and position in 3d cockpit. Adjusted Simple avionics HUD/MFD text position as well. Fixed DED position in 3D cockpit. Fix for the famous MARK point bug. Display HUD numbers < 10 with a leading 0. GRAPHICS Enhanced night-lighting of airbases and a few other objects. Fixed issue with runway and taxi-signs so they show at night. Added point lighting to water tower and some bridges. Raised visibility range for VASI lights at night. Fixed some texture issues on hangars at night. New nosewheel spotlight for F-16. Fixed an issue with some small bridges disappearing after being destroyed. Fixed some issues with runways and taxiways so they match better at all distances. MULTIPLAYER While waiting for others to join in Dogfight, a flashing "PLEASE WAIT" message will appear on screen. When being the only one left in 3D world, a message saying so appears instead. Send weather information now to other clients in dogfight games. USER INTERFACE Correct country flags in all modes and theaters. Remark: for old campaign save files, NATO and SLOVENIAN flags may still show mixed up in the OOB window. This should not happen anymore for new campaign save files. STABILITY Workaround for Geforce 8800GTX hang in pie screen. OTHER Fix the need to hold down Shift+N (SimCursorEnable) to switch the AIM-120 avionics to BORE mode. Using the keyboard, it is now a toggle function, with a mapping to the joystick, the joystick button still has to be held.

Uh...there's 19,000+ Goin on 20K Members. And...I agree with Tailspin. I don't generally vote in polls unless the choices are clear and decisive. For instance Jet Thunder has a poll labeled "WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE OF?" It's a descent poll, but it honestly has one choice that everyone should be answering IMHO. Multiplayer, Mod-Ability, Graphics, and one of them says FUN IN THE GAME. Well, everyone that plays flights sims does so for enjoyment. Also, everyone will get a different enjoyment out of different aspects. Modders will get enjoyment from a game that has the ability to mod it. Guys like myself will get enjoyment from Multiplayer. So the poll can be a little skewed if decisive questions are not asked....just like your poll. But I did vote...just for you.

Can you please tell us how you will approach multiplayer?
