Bruce (the mechanical shark from Jaws) has some real-life competition. This estimated 20+ foot long female white shark, christened "Deep Blue" is the largest living white shark ever filmed: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3194207/The-real-life-Jaws-World-s-largest-shark-nicknamed-Deep-Blue-flashes-razor-sharp-teeth-new-awe-inspiring-video.html

I agree, scary as in "mandatory change of underwear" after landing.

question on merged files
Fubar512 replied to greyhawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Every title in the series is stand alone (except for the expansion packs, which require their "base" title in order to install and to run). Stand alone of course means that you do not require any of the other titles in the series in order to run it. Having the mod folder for one title hosted on another drive (in a merged install), should not effect the other titles. The core files (cat files, exceutable, dll files) are always available to it and the other titles, on the root drive -

Which did not take place until 2 days after Hiroshima. and.... Was the use of two nuclear weapons which ended a bloody conflict and prevented the deaths of possibly a million more any less immoral then what took place at Unit 731 in Harbin? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

Red Flag was and is a great flick, with some of the best flying sequences ever filmed. It's even more amazing when one takes into consideration that it was a made for TV-movie from 1980. Most TV movies from that era were so bad, they'd make a hard-core Syfy channel addict cringe.

Thanks, Ant! -
I fondly recall driving to a small local airport during the early 1980s, and purchasing 5 gallons of leaded avgas to use in my high-compression muscle car during late 1979 and early 1980, when they stopped producing leaded premium (and before the advent of unleaded premium). 5 gallons of 105-octane avgas mixed with 10 gallons of 87 octane unleaded used to produce a 95+ octane fuel, one that had just enough lead content to lubricate the exhaust valves on my 1970 AMX. It also had the benefit of having enough octane to satisfy that cars 10,5:1 compression ratio engine, without resorting to shortening the ignition advance curve. Of course, this was in the days before electronic engine controls... And, Kerosene, diesel, and jet fuel burn quite nicely when the volume of air exceeds the volume of fuel. Try laying some down on the pavement, and lighting it with an intense flame, and you'll see what I mean. I am all too familiar with the combustion properties of diesel fuel. Also, "Jet-A" burns quite well in a diesel engine, though it lacks the lubricating properties of diesel fuel, so you may score your injectors if you run it for too long a period "straight" from the pump. Mixing in a few gallons of diesel, or even a few quarts of castor oil, helps.

Both have be done, Raven. The executable runs a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) of the various DLL files when they attempt to load. Anything that's determined to be out of place will cause the EXE file to reject the DLL, and crash the game back onto the desktop. Here's a brief explanation of the process on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check
