Rogue Vulcan

Roll call is illogical.

That confused me too. I thought I had forgotten how to use the missiles or something. Took me forever to figure it out. Guess that's what I get for being a newbie trying to play a realistic fighter sim. :P

Ahh, that's MUCH better. Thanks! :D

I just recently got a copy of LOMAC, and started fooling around with it. In short, I still suck at it so far, but I can kill an AI plane once in a while, and it's fun to fly jets for a change, instead of WWII fighters. (I also play CFS III once in a while) But I have one question about the Fast Battle Planner: Is there a way to fight around mountains instead of just flat coastline? I just think it'd be cool to have more terrain, for whatever that's worth.

I'm guessing this explanation is the correct one? "They are using jet turbines. This is a stunt used at air shows " All the other comments on that video seem to think that the RPM of the blades could be exactly the same as the FPM of the recording device, which just sounnd ridiculous. Still, that does look pretty cool!

Yup, I think that's it. Thanks! I've been wondering about that for weeks.

Greetings! I joined these forums recently for the Star Trek Legacy section, but I've always had an interest in aviation, and I play a few flight sim, and combat flight sim games. Anyway, I have a question for all you aviation buffs: We (My wife and I) live just a couple miles from an airport, and one of the planes that is kept there is a small single engine propeller-driven plane. It's maybe a 4-5 person plane, maybe just a two-seater, I can't really tell, anyway, it's small. It's got the wings mounted under the fusalage, isntead of above. But the odd thing is the tail section. Instead of a "normal" horizontal-vertical setup, it's just got a pair of slanted "fins", for lack of a better word. That is, instead of the elevators and rudders, it appears to just have two rudders, slanted at maybe 15-20 degrees to each side. So, viewed from the aft, it looks like a V, instead of _|_ I'm just curious at to what kind of plane that is, and what the advantages are of that configuration. Also, how does the plane climb? Just turn the "rudders" in toward each other, creating a "cup" at the tail? If any of that makes sense (Please excuse my lack of technical knowledge.) can anyone answer my questions?
