if you build it yourself you should be able to do it for way less assuming that all you need is the system unit & not a new monitor/kb/mouse etc. too.

it's probably a false positive from your AV

stock aircraft or addons?

RAF Jaguars OSD* brought forward to 30th April :(
BUFF replied to BUFF's topic in Military and General Aviation
a combination of things (Tornados, Harriers, Predator) really cover the CAS & reconnaisance role but there were already just a handful of Jaguars still in service being operated by 6 Squadron. 6 squadron will reform with Typhoons at my local base, RAF Leuchars, ~ the end of the year supposedly. -

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable. Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table. David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, [some versions have 'Schopenhauer and Hegel'] And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel. There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist. Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed. John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill. Plato, they say, could stick it away-- Half a crate of whisky every day. Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle. Hobbes was fond of his dram, And René Descartes was a drunken fart. 'I drink, therefore I am.' Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed, A lovely little thinker, But a bugger when he's pissed.

there's a fair amount of petroleum in there for effect - explosives on there own normally don't have flames like that

Try not to shoot into the sun. Shooting in RAW will let you adjust/recover images in post-processing where you got your exposure wrong. As already said it's better to underexpose slightly than overexpose as if a highlight burns out there is nothing to recover. For flying shots you probably want to use shutter speed priority (does the D40 have that?) where the camera will adjust the aperture for correct exposure according to what shutter speed that you have chosen. Faster speeds will freeze the action better but if shooting props you don't want it too high, say~1/200, as you will freeze the props & it will look static - you want a nice prop blur. Become very familiar with your camera & it's settings so that you can change to what you want really without thinking. Practice, practice, practice - that's where I often fall down in that I don't get enough practice for my panning. You are lucky in both the access that you can get & lots of nice, bright light unlike the grey UK. & welcome to a new money pit for your hard-earned cash - lens addiction! I know that you don't like it overall but SimHQ has a small, friendly aviation photo forum plus of course you have places like fence-check & UKAR.

it depends upon what you consider that it needs to be more realistic. Interestingly enough it seems that real pilots rarely complain but see PC games/sims for what they are which is pretty divorced from the real thing. Indeed it seems that those with real experience of the particular aircraft in the jet games (as there aren't too many people with real SE5/DVII/SPAD experience) often comment favourably on the overall feel of the FMs whereas many of the doubting Thomas' have never flown 1 in real life As Sag say trees, buildings etc. are not real objects. TK says that having 100% collision detection would increase the computer load & hence necessary system spec. considerably. It is however, definitely possible to suffer considerable damage by flying into other aircraft & indeed the ground ... At the end of the day these games are about having fun in a fairly believable setting - neither arcade nor "full real".

Chaff and Flares
BUFF replied to C46thVA's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
yes, it's easily done as you just need to add the relevant systems. there should be something on it in the knowledge base. -
Questions for the Experts
BUFF replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
flying what? 85% would normally put you in burner & autopilot doesn't normally fly in burner ... btw you might want to get that caps key checked out -
but what if a Marine General orders you to? Semper Fi ...

Snouted Swallow
BUFF replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
it's a simple question of weight ratios ... -
& at the ranges that RPGs operate at that usually isn't a problem ... At similar ranges a heavy machine gun would do more damage to a Comanche than an Apache. Remember that it's role was a reconnaisance chopper with the ability to attack targets of opportunity not a dedicated attack chopper.
