I'm not especially Christian either, but that really is great. Thanks for sharing.

It's not only the wives that miss soldiers on duty. Great pic!

Looks spectacular, Dave. How's the gameplay? Killed any tanks yet?

Great shots. Fates. They're really beautiful.

Awesome. Imagine the incredible shots Carlos Hathcock could've made with one of these.

How about about if I fly a jet, eat a Helicopter pilot's food at his party, and then pork his wife. I think that'll work out well for me. Oh wait, only a Navy pilot would stoop to that... Best to be a Navy pilot!

Hey Ruggbutt, my wife loves photography too, especially nature photography. She loves your pics and wants to know what camera you're using.

Not bad. It's still got nothing on "The Bridges of Toko'Ri"

I heard that one from my CO more than 10 years ago. I've been telling it ever since. Still great to hear it again.

Fabulous! Just beautiful pics!

Now that's a much better way to take out the reactor, rather than an airstrikes. Just fade off into the shadows and nobody knows where to point the finger.

View File CloudScape v3: Two Skies Cloudscape v3 09/22/2010 by ShrikeHawk Here's two cloud mods for the price of one. You get a cloud mod for Wings over Israel2 and Wings over Vietnam2. Each uses two cloud images: cloud1.tga and cloud2.tga. These images are different in both, but are interchangeable between the two mods. With just a simple file renaming you can try out any of the clouds in CloudSkins 1,2,or 3 in these mods. Experiment, play with it, and see what kind of skies you can build. The WOI2 mod is a variation of the new Widesky. The WoV2 mod is a variation of the default environmentsystem.ini. [CREDITS] Thanks to Cellinski and Insky Group for the original WideSky mod and the updated version for Thirdwire's 2nd Gen Sims. Thanks to Stick for trying it out and for the support. Thanks to TK for a fabulous sim and the wisdom to make it so moddable. Submitter ShrikeHawk Submitted 09/22/2010 Category Environmental Mods  

Gosh. Do you think Iran should've played ball when the Russians offered nuclear fuel for Iran's "peaceful energy-producing plants" in return for halting Iran's plutonium enrichment? Russia could've made a lot of money on that deal. I imagine they didn't like having their generous offer turned down. Yeah, it's hardball, but that's they way the big boys play. So sorry, charlie.

Isn't that a Nieuport 28 in the foreground?

ooh, I'm voting for Falcon's desktop (my wife would kill me if I had that). Here's mine...

I remember reading the specs on the F-20 many years ago. I was very impressed. Unbelievable to me that the plane never found success. I don't suppose somebody is still working on a model for Thirdwire is there?

Hehe. If someone wrote that as part of a fiction novel, it would sound contrived. As always, truth is stranger than fiction.

Never thought that for a moment! I'm expanding on your well-wishes.

Happy New Year! Any excuse to celebrate...I'll take it...

Eid mubarak to everybody! Muslim or not. I think glad tidings should be shared even if you don't follow the religion. That's why I still say "Merry Christmas" and avoid that "Seasons Greetings" PC b*llsh*t no matter what someone's "apparent" religious association is. What harm can come from wishing someone well?

View File CloudSkins3: Clouds For Days CloudSkins3: Clouds For Days by ShrikeHawk 09/08/2010 Here's a huge collection of cloud images. I've used all of these off and on for most of 2010. Many are closely related having only a slightly different paintjob from another. Others are very different, using a completely different alpha channel (dictates the shape of the cloud.) You can use these in any cloud setting you like in any way you like. They will work in any version of SF1 or SF2 or any version of First Eagles. This is NOT a complete mod. It is images only. Use these clouds only if you are minimally comfortable with modding. See you in the clouds! Submitter ShrikeHawk Submitted 09/09/2010 Category Environmental Mods  

Is this the reason why the F-35 is so delayed?
