A while ago, someone posted pics of a guy with a rocket pack. Heres the video of it in operation. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1362064/jet_man/

Well, if it's just a plane that stretches across, away from the exhaust nozzle, why not have it rotate along the Z axis so it can be seen from all angles, or better yet, have it twist around, like a screw, so if you do have it rotate, it creates a sort of "wave" effect as well.

Regarding the RWR, what I was refering to was that the RWR wasn't going crazy because if the missile that was fired from the Fulcrum was an AHM/SAHM, it wasn't locked onto me. If it was an AHM/SAHM that was fired at me, I would be getting a steady tone from the RWR. The issue with the IRM came into play because I was facing towards the missile, which means my hot a** was facing away from the missile (which I thought at the time would significantly reduce the chances of me being locked on by an IRM to pretty much about nil). So in other words, I took all the lack of signals and my position towards the missile as an indication that I was still O.K.... which obviously I wasn't. Would definately be nice if the RWR acted as an IRWR though.

So, I'm going head to head against a flight of Fulcrums in a F-15C (with those weird mirrors). I already fired off all of my AMRAAMs and took out half of the enemy's flight. I'm now moving in closer and fast to lock up with my 9Ms. My flight has already gotten the green light to engage air threats, so the field is pretty much squared. One of my 9Ms begins tracking a Fulcrum next to the one that I targeted so I send it off. It doesn't hit, but it gets that guy to break off and away from my target. My target breaks as well, allowing me to move in on his rear. My second 9M locks onto him and I release it. The target gets taken out seconds later. I then turn back to the other bandit that I shooed away. As soon as I do, I see a puff of smoke (Lexx's missile smoke mod btw) drop from underneath him. My RWR isn't singing, and I'm going head to head with the target, so it couldn't be an IRM, right? So, naturally, I'm thinking the missile isn't for me, but for one of my wingies. I keep flying straight at the target (with the intention to blow through past him), but begin to notice that the puff of smoke isn't streaking away anywhere fast, but infact is getting bigger. I just then realized that it is an IRM for me. I slam down on the stick to dive for the hard deck, but just as I do, I get blasted to pieces (going head on with a missile doesn't do well for structural integrity). Game over. So, I just finally accepted the fact that I'm the worst combat sim pilot ever, and wanted to make it official. Btw, this isn't the only time this has happened to me. I've ran into this scenario several times before. Sometimes my brain works well on some of those situations and I dropp chaffs/flares and jink when I see something like that happen, avoiding catastrophe. But most of the time, I've found my self just staring at the target (especially in a knife fight), seeing it fire a missile at me, and do nothing but watch the pretty white smoke trail come charging after me (it's like, hey, check that out, he fired a missile... oh s***, that has my name on it). Gee, I'm worse than AI pilots. So yep, I suck!

I see a Mirrage in Isralie skin... oh, wait, that wasn't what you were talking about... right?

Well, guess that means I can't fix it. I figured it had to do with the 3D model, but didn't want to say anything too soon to not offend the maker and be putting my foot in my mouth at the same time.

Um.... I wasn't talking about Randy.... was actually responding about the issues with the media and the vietnam vets. Sorry for any confusion about that.

I remember TRON and I'm only 28. It was like the 80's Matrix. Great movie.

Well, after further testing, it's just the F-15s. All variants. Hornets are ok, and the Tomcat is ok.

O.K., so, i just found out something... weird. I was flying around, checking out the scenery, and noticed in my mirrors that my wingmen were approaching to form up with me... infact together! I thought to myself... hm, cool. So when they were at approximately the angle to where I can look back at them, I only noticed one. I figure the other went either hight or low (the sometime do that ya know). Well, as I continued on flying around, checking out the pretty trees, banking left and right, I noticed something odd with my right and left mirrors, when I bank to go right, my right mirror refelcts that I am banking right. However, my left mirror reflects that I'm banking left! Odd i say (btw, i talk to myself a lot... probably should see a shrink). I bank left, the right mirror is showing a normal image, but the left mirror is showing the opposite of what I should be seeing. I thought I might have messed with a .ini file. But nope, nothing I tweaked on today should have messed with that. So, I left to presume that it's the result of some sorcery or magic. So can some please enlighten me to this peculiar phenomenon? Never heard of it, never seen any mention of it here, and I'm sure that I can't be the only one to have noticed this.... unless my install is borked.

90's here in Los Angeles. Very humid too.

Need to tinker with the compatibility mode... which you'll find if you right click on the file, click on properties, and then click on... Compatibility. you should then have an option for compatibility mode. mess with it a bit and see what works.

they're dropped off by storks.... right? man, and i thought i went off topic posting my apache pic.

The simple answer to why people hate those who are able to adapt and overcome is simply jealousy. They wish they were them, and the mere fact that they're not is like nails on a chalkboard. While that person is still alive, still read about through history books, it is a constant reminder that they will never be able to achieve what they have.... and mainly because they're too lazy to be like that person or better. Folks, this is the era of hate, the ultimate climax in human civilization. We hate our heroes, we hate our villians, we hate the succesfull, we hate the failures, we hate the liberated and those who are condemened, we hate those who try and those who give up, we hate life, and most importantly, we hate ourselves for everything that we are, wish we were, and never could be. It won't change, it won't get better. Infact, it will only get worse. This is it. Embrace the suck.

LOL, I thought it was an actual Mech pack.

Just to make people think that it's a sim that has high quality graphics. Since this is a rip off from Jane's IAF, I don't hold anything that they say is true. It's all for marketing... and in the con world it's all about lying and B.S. (same might be true for legitame coporations, but in this sense, it's taken to the extreme with nothing guranteed except an empty walet). I even bet that they won't ship anything to you. Remember, these people are from overseas, not the U.S., where there are laws that are enforced to make sure that these things don't happen (not saying that other countrys don't take efforts to stop con acts from happening, but it is easier for the cons to operate outside of the U.S.) Take this from a cop.... I strongly suggest avoid doing business with these people.

Lackland is the gateway into the Air Force... March is the gateway into Iraq.

Yes it is

Now all it needs is a March ARB decal on it.

The only reason why these troops are being falsely charged is because there are dumb ass politicians who think it will make them look good for the moment, making it look like that they're "sympathetic" to the "victims" (a.k.a. insurgents/terrorists) that have been killed/maimed by our troops. They're hoping that the public will see this and have a favorable view towards these politicians who filed these false charges and give them, the politicians, more support for whatever agenda they have. Unfortunately, the majority of the public is easily bought by the false allegations, and what is even more unfortuante, once the truth comes out, it false on deaf ears. The public will continue to have this bad view of our troops based on a lie. What is even more discouraging, is that these politicians who had made these false allegations won't face any charges, or anything serious enough that would keep them or anybody else from doing this again.

Ah, yeah I can understand that. My comment was merely more of a joke than an actual serious response. I hope it wasn't offensive (my jokes sometimes go that route when it wasn't my intention). But in all honesty, it's one of my favorite aircraft. What needs to be done to get it finished? Oh, and I think the extending pylons look cool... kind of remind me of claws stretching out from a predator's paw.

Maybe Osama Bin Laden is in that hut.

You must be hanging with the wrong circles, 'cause I was definately looking forward to this bird.

The principal literally said, "... I can not confirm or deny a suspension took place..." WTF is that?! That comment alone proves the lunacy of the mindset of the education staff there. Geezes, they're treating this whole case like as if it didn't happen, or that it shouldn't have happened, but in the end, there's a 10 year old boy, who is getting the ugly end of the stick here, just because he is proud about those who made the sacrifices of what made this nation great. Over-reaction is an understatement here. F-U-B-A-R is what I would call it. Someone needs to write to their congressman! I found out in Iraq, that really does work.
