I think that it also sums up the difficulties of the flight simulation market : Back in the middle 90s (EAW, CFS1 or 2) a "simulation" was relatively simple. Even SF2 would have been rated as "quite realistic" in those times. Now, the simmers wants something very realsitic and casual players want to play with max difficulty because they are "real men" or "real woman" (if I believed in Santa klaus, I wopuld write "women") but at the same time, they find the realistic approach too "compilicated", so they went away.

The story of the Caudron G4 is much more complex : It was designed to counter the altitude capacities of the geramn aircraft. As such, it was the first military plane to reach the 6000 m altitude "bar". It was actually a multitrol aircraft : - Day / night bomber - Reconnaissance - Escort fighter (with limited success !!) At the beginning of its career, the G4 could hold its own against the german plane and when agreesivly flown shot down several of them (Fonck is not the only scxorer on this type) Its good altitude perorrmances interested the Italian in the Alpes. The British used it as a predecessor of the HP100 (RNAS 207 later 7 squadron) As such, it carried out bombing raids on belgian U-Boot bases escorted with Strutter. As you can see, the plane has a lot of interesting possibilities in terms of gameplay.

Indeed, French people are very pleasant except in 2 parts of France : Paris and french riviera, too bad it's where foreign tourists go

Happy birthsday, you deserve it !

Actually, this was just a radio test.

I live in Toulouse but was born around Paris (Sarcelles : the city of DSK and of dangerous djihadists) and regularly through social network I can find some friends from my childhood. Quite often they tell me : "You live in southern France, you're always on hollydays !" I answer them : "Yes, we watch the Airbus growing all the year and we harvest them in September" Same thing with a friend who is oenologists in Roussillon and he has to explain parisians that his job is serious, that he earns a lot of money, from exportation, and that he pays more taxes than they do.

Some 25 years ago, we often could read of the "7th economy of the world" : Scotland or California, to name a few, if independant would have become the 7th economical power of the world In 1/4 cycles, some things changed but the oil and fishing resources of Scotland would make it comparable to some scandinavian countries at first glance

It also flew for a lot of countries (including the RNAS before being replaced by the HP100). Flew a lot of mission types ...

Very good quotes, I think we find this also during the early Verdun offensive. The German were stopped not by the intelligence of the Franch HQ, but by french "simple" soldiers who fought desperatly Hence came the lack of trust between the HQ and the French, which would culminate in 1917 after the Nivelle offensive and then in 1940

I don't know them, so feel free to go

My god, we are lost !

I know some catalanian indepedantists ... in Spain

That would make a good SF2E campaign France will be with the Scottish, obviously Asto Corsica, it's been a long time that we want to get rid of it :)

The french and britsh helmet are a fairly obvious mistake, I always checjk the link to check there are no misassociation by the search engine Every french who attended school at the age of 8-10 (at least before the 80's) know about the legend of the "Taxi de la Marne", but actually only around 3000 soldiers were so transported Check "bataille de la marne" in the text of the link below, and you will have nice pictures of the battle : https://www.flickr.com/photos/39887688@N02/8209420142/in/photostream/

The top pictures are not from the Marne time I think (helmets), the last one, I don't know

I wanted to post a picture of myself at the age of 14, but I am afraid you will slap me

Ok, thank's

You make me feel even older : When NES was released, I was proud to have played Atari VCS ! I remember how much I loved "The Empire Strike Back" game cartridge !!! Still, I find the reaction of those tenns very good

That would be great !

Question : Did the Mirage IIIO carry RPK (Fuel Tank / Bomb rack combination) ?

Gracias

Some figures from a "Le Monde" article in France (8th Sept) : Around 1000 people were "are implied" in a case where someone wanted to go to fight in Syria Of them 346 are effectivly fighting. I have also heard 1000 french poeple in Syria, but on at least 2 occasions they were misquotoing the "Le Monde" source. On the other hand, the "Le Monde" figures are based on "public cases", they do not take into account "unrevealed" cases, and there is no estimate of the "real number" 60 cases of "under eighteen" including 20 fighting in Syria. When a new fighter arrives in Syria, he is systematically jailed for brainwashing and to detect spies at "Ostages Factory". Nemmouche (the terrorist who attacked the jewish museum of Bruxelles) worked in the "Ostage factory" and was known to be particularily violent.

I thought I had understood the same but could not believe it.

This time, it was too late. But we saw the cat chasing a living bird, there was with feathers all over the room !!. I never thought such a small sparrow could have so much feather. We "freed" it, and the bird flew away I never thought such a small sparrow could still fly having lost so much feather !!!

I love those japanese camo
