Hmmm, this sounds like it's the perfect terrain for a Blue vs. Red (Yellow vs. Green, etc) campaign, set around 1940 and with both sides flying Spitfires (I would use them not only because I like them, but also for the reason that I have a template for the Merlin Spitfires...and there's no question that each side would need to have its own skins) Seriously, this could be interesting, especially since both sides would have the same equipment. Anybody interested?

Heh, I was expecting a thread about Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor. Anyway...screw Ubisoft. If I need a patch I usually look here first: Link: DLH.net

That's sad. R.I.P.

Sort of. ICBM silos as a target is one thing (and probably no big deal to make), but asking for working ICBMs (in a tone that sounds like 'right now!'), well, I don't know about that. Not to mention that I doubt that the game is capable of anti-missile operations.

I'm tempted to say that no Cold War would be complete without cows, but CA_Stary apparently has already read my mind. Also, what use would working ICBMs (in-game) have anyway?

The FARC is recognized as a terror organization and willingly open your border for them wouldn't be a smart move, especially when you miss no chance to explain to the world that a superpower is constantly plotting to invade your small, innocent nation and to remove a saint of a leader from power...

Good buddies or not, you don't get these aircraft for free, you know? Also, recalling ambassadors does not mean that a war is imminent, just that there is severe friction between two nations (FYI: Serbia has recalled several of its ambassadors after the countries they were serving in acknowledged the independence of the Kosovo. However, I do not think that Serbia is going to declare war against half of Europe now.)

Quoted from the Boeing statement: "Obviously we are very disappointed with this outcome. We believe that we offered the Air Force the best value and lowest risk tanker for its mission. Our next step is to request and receive a debrief from the Air Force. Once we have reviewed the details behind the award, we will make a decision concerning our possible options, keeping in mind at all times the impact to the warfighter and our nation." Sounds like it, but then again the last part sounds like they don't want to delay the program much further. And I doubt that NorthropGrumman or the representatives of the states that would profit from NG/EADS' getting the contract would not protest also against an attempt by Boeing to overturn this decision...

Btw, the WOV back cover makes a similar misleading statement...since there's also picture of a MiG-21 on it and below the text states: 'fly 12 authentic aircraft used during the Vietnam War'. But, yeah, I don't think that TK ever planned to make any MiG flyable out of the box...nor is there anywhere a statement made on either the WOV or WOE dvd case that says something else.

Indeed, the image on back cover seems to imply this, but then again it's not mentioned in the text that tells you which aircraft you can actually fly. MiGs are cannon fodder anyway. *gets beaten up by the numerous MiG-lovers here*

3500m? Now that's one B.F.G.!

Cool. :yes:

Sweet!

You have my sympathy, drdoyo. FYI: my system is even slightly older than yours...

How about a tutorial focused on creating skin templates? I'm currently trying to create one and I do think that such a tutorial would be a good addition to the knowledge base. I'm not really offering my services here, since I do think that other members here have much more experience in making them and would therefore more qualified to create such tutorial (as long as there is time and interest to do so )

It's a bit funny, though. Prior the decision it had been said that KC-30 (Northop/EADS' bid) had no chance because it's larger and costs more than the KC-767. Now the USAF states that they have chosen the KC-30 because of its size... There is of course another aspect. Airbus has in fact suffered for quite some time because of the Euro/Dollar exchange rate, since they do pay their bills in Euro, but the prices of their aircrafts are listed in US Dollar. Thus I do think that once they have the KC-X contract for sure (and I do think that this far from being certain at the moment) it will accelerate the relocation of the Airbus production to the United States...

Credits + No payware? Sounds good to me. :yes:

Well, I am surprised. However, I do agree with BUFF, this is not over yet.

Well, to be honest I do think that Boeing will get the contract and Northop/EADS will receive some sort of consolation ribbon.

IIRC ships that are acting as aircraft carriers are unsinkable...if you check the addon section you'll find some ships that come in two versions, one serving as a carrier and the other as a mere warship, which can be destroyed.

"Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway." I think it's from one of his films. It sure sounds like him.
