  1. The floating chain saws? What did they do after all the trees were down? Go after the floating beavers?
  2. Floating chain saws.
  3. If you're short of animation slots, combine the wing fold with the canopy opening.
  4. No. It has a pipper projected onto a combinig glass, similar to earlier F-4 models.
  5. Come on, guys.... TK isn't trolling. He is simply posting images to show that they're making progress on the new title, and to let everyone know that this next title will be well worth the wait. Anything else is simply a matter of some people seeing sinister plots, conspiracy theories, (etc.), where none exist.
  6. No, as the TW LOD exporter only works in 3dsMax. You can always create your model using another software package, and then have someone with 3dsMax export it for you.
  7. Looks as if your in-game resolution is not matching your monitor's native resolution. Update to the '08 patch level, if you have not done so already, and adjust the resolution to match your desktop.
  8. Your riplling terrain issue may be due to what's known as "tearing", which occurs when you disable vertical synch.
  9. He's released stuff before, after 11 PM eastern time....
  10. The best auto mechanic I've ever had the pleasure to know (and work with), rarely changes his oil anymore. He takes his vehicles to the dealer
  11. I have to sheepishly admit that I am a diesel mechanic, and worked on transit buses for over a decade before I became a "geek"....
  12. I'm waiting for warm weather so I can rebuild the front end of my truck. Upper ball joints and control arm bushings, tie rod ends, lower control arms, and shocks. I'll bet I'll save like $1200 by doing it myself.
  13. No, because the SF2 engine does not support it at this time.
  14. That sounds logical, but.........I've known TW to release titles in the middle of the week, before....
  15. He probably means that it appears to lack "depth", and that the canopy bows aren't up to the same level of detail and finish as some of TW's other pits. In short, it gives one the same impression as does an A-4 pit from SFP1, circa 2002.
  16. Really? And nothing's happening in the Pacific?
  17. We need a giant, angry Rottweiler to saunter up to this, lift up his hind leg, and....... SON-9 Firecan model by Julhelm
  18. I get the impression, that if TK had set up a page-visit counter, and hosted third party ad banners on his site (for game hardware, etc), he'd have possibly made back all the money that he's invested into SF2NA, and would likely be turning a profit by now, before even selling one copy of it.
  19. Camelot! Camolet! Camelot! .......It's only a model....shhhh!
  20. Don't have a stroke....its nothing
  21. Look at the smoke plume and the railings on the CG's fantail.
  22. AFAIK, TW only sells downloadable content. All the earlier "boxed" versions, involved partnerships with various companies, and weren't direct from TW.
  23. XP will be 11 years old this Summer. Now, could you imagine yourself trying to hold onto Windows 95, in 2006? Not that there's any real basis for comparsion there, anyway I've found Windows 7 to be smoother and more stable than XP ever was.
  24. That's the proper color for the Gulf Stream:

    Not always.... A few years ago, I owned one of the last of the "classic" Saab 900 Turbos (a 1993 model). Driven gingerly, it's 2.0 liter I-4 averaged just over 25 MPG in combined driving. The best I ever got out of it was just shy of 30 MPG, on a long trip, where I never exceeded 65 mph. By comparison, my last company car, a crappy 1994 Chevy Corsica with a 3.1 liter V6, often exceeded 33 MPG on long trips....at 75+ mph! The Corsica's engine was barely turning 2000 RPM at that speed, while the Saab's 2.0 liter turbo was spinning along at 3000 RPM at 65 mph. My current ride, 1999 Dodge Dakota, has a 5.2 liter V8, and averages just shy of 17 MPG combined, and has recorded 21 MPG several times on long trips (again, as long as I do not exceed 65 mph). Luckily for me, my commute to work is under 10 miles (round trip), so I often get a month's driving out of a single tank of fuel. A year ago, I had a chance to drive a VW Golf diesel over the course of a weekend. It was a hoot watching the trip computer indicate 48 MPG at a steady 65 MPH on cruise control. Just for s**ts and grins, I pushed it up over 100 MPH, and it was still reading in the high 20s! That will probably be my next ride.
