Rambler 1-1

Not nearly as bad as what I have an aptitude to do... Finish an awesome mission, come back to the carrier, and F up the landing myself, end campaign.

It's one of few places where I can hang with other planeophiles.

Looks to me like Flight Sim for dummies. Lots of "Flight", not much "sim"... No thanks.

HORY SHET

Scooters over green hell

Just got back to SF2:V, and lovin' it! Took this shot during a well-choreographed attack on a Hanoi bridge. coming down the river, blanketed by flak. Two ZPU-2s on either side of the bridge have me pinned... then both get nailed almost simultaneously by Hun SEADs. Zunis flying past me, Huns flying over, pickle the bombs and GTFO!

March 28. I look forward to my free birthday present!

So that's the engine they put in the Prius!

Hey all, While I was off flying gliders all summer, a bunch of my friends decided to put their time spent playing video games to good use- they organized a 96-hour gaming marathon, playing only Legend of Zelda games, to raise money for the pediatric unit of our local hospital. They're streaming it live online, all four days. As I post this, they've just passed the halfway point, when things really start to get tough. I'm heading over there eventually to provide moral support, and likely play a bit myself. The goal is to raise $1500 for the hospital, and we have $535 as of now. Tune in for a bit to see how we're doing, and if you feel really generous, feel free to donate via the link under the video feed. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/zelda-marathon-for-kgh

Hey guys, I'm back! Just arrived back from beautiful CFB Comox, where I spent the previous six weeks with the Air Cadets, learning to fly! Almost ten hours total time (three and a half solo) under my belt on the Schweitzer 2-33A now, and I can't wait to get more. The best part is, I'm only a corporal in our squadron, but since I've got my wings pinned on proudly, whenever it comes to talking about flying, I'm the authority! Sort of. Anyways, I have a week of free time before I start my AME course at the college here, so I've dusted off the joystick and pedals for some fun on SF2. What's the Phantom's best glide ratio again? PS- has anybody figured out how to plunk the SFP1 desert map in SF2? I know you have to change a few things in the .inis, (thanks, KB!) but I haven't had any luck in actually getting it to run yet.

yeah, that's about right. Doesn't sideslip quite the same as a 2-33 either, but on final, set the attitude and modify your airspeed with speedbrakes, and my landings have significantly improved! The flare is just a little different...

Sorry, SF2:V. Just found the rest of what I need in the KB, I'll give it a shot tomorrow. And thanks!

I've been suffering from a severe case of flight sim apathy as well. When my last semester started, I had to stop playing because of the workload. I just finished exams now, and I went to play some SF2, only to find that my joystick has died. So I've been playing GT4 instead...

The one thing that all pilots, regardless of nationality, language or form of service, say when something really goes wrong: "Ah s**t."

Looks like the Tracys, from "Thunderbirds"...

burnt out rather then faded away... RIP, jackass

Quick, somebody steal one! They'll never notice! Then we can keep at least one of these rare birds flying!

Rock! And maybe eurobeat...

Apparently, all those hipsters who jumped on the Canucks bandwagon were sore losers... Riots broke out in downtown Vancouver, with several cars flipped, some cop cars lit on fire, stores looted and people beat up. The police tried to control the crowds using tear gas, but it didn't stop looters and rioters from making a general mess of the place. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/06/15/bc-stanley-cup-fans-post-game-7.html

That was en route to take on the Germans, right?
