  1. Movie help

    Two to three years ago, Bostwick was making commercials for the local cable company's (Cablevision's) "Optimum" VoIP service
  2. Movie help

  4. If you're asking why they don't link to the player's radar and provide an expanded radar "picture", the answer is twofold: A) It is mostly due to the avionics of the era that this series covers B) That is something that you must ask TK at Thirdwire's site. If you're asking why they do not show up on threat displays as emitters, then refer to answer "B" above. That's something that we'd all like to see implemented.
  5. Not true. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6380100/anchors_6394056/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#6394056 Early F-5E (Swiss Air Force) http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/274507/j-3044-switzerland-air-force-northrop-f-5e-tiger-ii/ Late F-5E "shark nose" (Also Swiss) http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/272092/j-3087-switzerland-air-force-patrouille-de-suisse-northrop-f-5e-tiger-ii/ The ones Stratos posted are all "Sharknoses"
  6. Playful Killer Whales

    Orcas behaving like bottle-nosed dolphins, caught on video. http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_c4#...side-boat.wfla I've also had them playing around my boat 90 nautical miles off of NJ.
  7. Oh s**t!

    This happened at Bagram air base yesterday...looks as if something went terribly wrong with the FBW system just after the aircraft rotated. 7 passengers and crew perished in the accident. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=icfVsql38oc
  8. Cute...

    The hawklets are growing bigger (and bolder) by the day... The following clip was from a week ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TtE6ZhWd0qI
  9. It's an issue with the 3D model itself, and short of turning off the shadow for that model (in its .ini file), there's no workaround.
  10. As far as I know, Stalin was Georgian.....
  11. Bandit 6 o'clock

    Against any MiG-15 or 17, rolling and pulling will gain you some separation, as both those models have crappy roll rates when compared to their western counterparts. Diving also forces them to pull out before you do, as they both also have issues pulling out of a near-Mach dive.
  12. The A-6's fuel guage works well, and has always worked. Load the aircraft with 50% fuel at the beginning of a mission, and no drop tanks, and tell me what it reads,
  13. Twinkies set to return....REJOICE!

    Yes, the Twinkie, that iconic junk-food cake is set to stage a comeback by the beginning of this Summer, after its makers shuttered their doors last year: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/04/08/twinkies-are-coming-back-the-metropoulous-brothers-on-the-brand.html
  14. Twinkies set to return....REJOICE!

    A lot of our old favorites have changed, and seldom for the better. Remember when McDonald's apple pies were fried (instead of baked)? http://sweets.seriouseats.com/2012/04/so-you-miss-deep-fried-mcdonalds-apple-pies.html We had a regional bakery here in the Northeast, called "Drake's Cakes". They were the originators of Ring-Dings, Funny-Bones, and Devil-Dogs. They were brought out by Hostess some time ago, though Hostess kept marketing them until the end. I hope that the new owners of Hostess revive them, as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake's
  15. Commenting that it is taking someone too long to complete a freeware project isn't wrong? It is considered extremely rude, and is certainly not tolerated here.
  16. Final Offensive

    You've been given some good advice so far, so I will keep it simple: Do not give up hope! I will include you in prayers tonight.
  17. 84 Year-old WWII vet shoots 5" group at 1,000 yards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MQRpAxGVg4M
  18. Check the latitude settings for that terrain.
  19. Pilots.

    You can only animate objects that have movable or rotatable components. If that pilot model doesn't have them defined, chances are that it is not meant to be animated.
  20. Pilots.

    3rd party or default models?
  21. Let's have a pissing match

    This is just too much http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/03/26/minor-league-baseball-team-to-debut-urinal-video-games
  22. Mid-course correction is meant for SAMs, not AAMs (with the possible exception of AIM-54s and other long range AAMs). IRMs do not require any additional form of correction, as they constantly follow (and compensate for the apparent movement of) the heat source of their intended target. Beam riders follow the narrow guidance beam of their launch platform, or SAM radar (SA-2s, for example, were beam riders) to their targets. That simply means that it's up to the pilot of the launch platform to maintain a very tight lock of his intended target, as opposed to the "looser" tracking demands afforded to SAHMs, due to the aforementioned pursuit profile.
