Oops sorry Viper, dind`t see you Celestia link. Yeah capturing lifeforms in Noctis would be interesting. I think I read that you can catch birds... Anyways too bad Noctis V is taking years to come out.

If anybody is interested and don`t know about these; There are two koolio free space sims that I have tried. Noctis and Celestia. Although Noctis is a fictional galaxie, it is still very interesting to explore.

To those who don`t like the whole strategy aspect of BBII (like me), there is a way you can play as just a pilot and let the computer take care of the campaing. I remember reading about it last year. You`d have to go to the official forum though, there are a few steps to follow.

pass...

That one is far from being so clear. But then we're getting into the whole rights of fetus vs right of the woman. I'll pass on that argument.

So does Trent himself.

70s...drugs...

I just want what's more painful for him. I'm just not sure if it's executing him or locking him up for the rest of his days. btw Dave you A NIN fan too?

Ok I just though of this a little more... There is something very 'painful' about getting the death penalty. That is, the wait (knowing you will die soon but not exactly when must not be enjoyable) and the actual excecution (must also not be a very enjoyable feeling). So maybe the death penalty is a painful penalty...

Since when do rapists get the death penalty? I agree with the supreme court. We are not, after all, some kind of islamic nut country. Something else to realise, when somebody dies, he is gone. No pain for him, no regrets, no nothing. He's just gone. So lock up his ass forever. In my opinion that will be much more painful for him.

We're just venting a little. We all know droping nukes on people is bad.

That's a good idea, but the radioactive cloud would eventualy make it bad for us...

I think it's about how the F-22 can kick the F-15s ass.

Iran has most definitely learned from the Iraq strike. The place would be crawling with AAA and SAM's on full alert. I can't imagine conventional aircrafts like F-16s being successful. Maybe the U.S. can lend them a few stealths... And din't I read somewhere that the Iranian nuclear site is built underground? It might even be GBU-28 proof.

The year is 1989, the cold war has gone hot. A couple of F-117's slip into east Germany undetected...

They fired on us? I say we drop a couple of LGB's and show 'em who's boss.

I can't get no respect...No respect, I tells Ya!

If you go into the MISSIONCONTROL.ini and change the values to; [Altitude] Normal=150 Low=100 VeryLow=50 High=5000 VeryHigh=8000 Your flight will follow you down low. Just don't hit Alt-N! Here's my old thread on this; http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...533;entry112734

Alligator you sure you can't get acceptable framerates with the EP? There's so many ways to improve performance. Tweaks in the nvidia control panel, like turning Antialiasing off, helps alot. Also simply lowering the resolution to 1024x768, and in set game settings to medium or low. Defrag your comp, turn off all background applications and you should be good to go! (ok if you tried all those things already, pretend like I din't say anything )

Ok so I decided to jump in the canvas falcons and give FE another go, now that a new patch is out! Just wondering if there is any conflicts with the mods in the download section and the new Apr 2008 patch? For example will the terrain mods still work, or the add on aircrafts?

Sorry for posting two times in a row guys, but I just had to shout this on the 'virtual rooftops' as it were... Just finished playing a 3 hour session and I can't believe what a difference that april '08 patch made! Good Lord, FE has gone from my least favorite TW game to one of my favorite combat sims ever! Again, I don't have the expansion pack, so maybe everybody has seen the difference already, but for me this is night and day. Big thumbs up for this patch!

Thanks for the reply Tailspin, that last page on the FM is very interesting! I'm not using the EP, just a clean FE with the two patchs applied. To answer my own question, I've quickly tested a couple of Albatros's and things are definitely screwy. I'm 'glued' to the ground and can't take off unless I use the Autopilot. There also seems to be a graphical problem with the propeller. I'm guessing these are issues that can be .ini fixed?

The new patch seems to make a difference (I think ). I'm also interested in knowing what mods are a must for realism.

Graphics? Pff, graphics are for kids.

F-15 Strike Eagle on Atari 800 XL, loved the manual! btw for anybody who doesn't know about this, you can replay all those old sims using an emulator. Here's a good place to go http://www.emuasylum.com/
