  1. Not really. But if you are one of those springloaded to jump at the first sight of TW releasing anything new, or any sign them cutting off definitely from PC, you might be interested to check that their store´s page security certificate seems to have expired. Maybe i´m making up too much an assumption of the lean info available about the PC series, but this doesn´t look right. I hope it is just a glitch or a technical issue, but as i said, i´m getting kind of jumpy, even while i had assumed they were done with PC. If so, well, too bad, and i sincerely wish them the best for whatever they work on next and thank them for all their work so far.
  2. Good luck, and don´t forget to share that "nursing related imagery" you mentioned
  3. Quite an adecuate last name, may i add
  4. Just kidding Crazyhorse. I don´t know about the USN. The Spanish Air Force, on the other hand...well, they are just so cute in those flightsuits...
  5. What is sadder than him dying (i think he lived long and sure had a good life) is that we know that, unless shooting down an ICBM with a sling, we will never be this cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjblmFIa8j0

  7. Ryan Doctrine FTW
  8. If we still had MP for TW Games, Stary and JRL would already be flooding FB with screenies of dogfights among Gripens and Polish F-16s, all while cursing each other with references to Carl Gustav and the Winged Hussars. Indeed, if they aren´t already doing it must be because of an epic hangover.
  9. http://www.column5.us/classic/tomcat.htm Al final de la pagina, pero estan un poco desfasados, son para el de Maverick y el de Iceman
  10. I don´t know, but the Argentines did it years ago. Haha, Strike Fighter Combined Arms. They even had the Llama Commandos
  11. As a side note on the South American air forces new procurement aircraft, the deal for our Air force to sell the Mirage F1s is down. apparently due to French/Dassault´s pressure to sell their own Mirage, either F1 or 2000. They are getting Kfir Block60, not too bad IMHO. Also, Peru has shown interest in taking some of our earlier batch EF2000 as we replace them with later models, but i don´t think we are sparing any Typhoon nowadays.

    Happy Birthday?

    Happy Birthday Bpao, what a great guy he was!!! Wish i knew him better
  17. 4 missions in a campaign? That´s better than i´ve ever got since i started back in 2007. I´m the Sim World´s Largest Distribuitor of Phantom Parts.
  18. Indeed, one of the issues is that, since i lack a stick, i play with the keyboard, and that doesn´t allow a sensitive pitch control. I wish i could turn less abruptly, i hadn´t flown much with the Super Sabre and a stick since SFP1. Something like that happens with Mirages. About the wingmen in distress idea, i try it as much as i can since Microsoft CFS2 with Wildcats vs Zeros. In this case i think that the best part is that the enemy needs to fly as slow and at the same height of their target, and loosing their initiative to adjust to the movements of our wingman, giving notice of their moves earlier. It is indeed a must do with Huns. Coincidentally, i did try to this very evening, when two MiG-21s went after my Nº3. He was too far and they were about to gun him down, so i tried with a sidewinder. If there were two MiGs on AB, and a Hun perpendicular to the missile path, and further away both in range and angle from it than both MiGs, guess wich one of the three got the Jackpot. Hint...screw Murphy
  19. Was it really that bad or is it just me? I don´t know if the FM is wrong or the use of keyboard as a controller or i´m that dumb, but i don´t think i have any other stock TW aircraft in wich i ever felt so helpless...except for Su-9, maybe. I feel out-performed by MiG-15s and out-maneuvered by MiG-21s. While i have been using a keyboard instead of a stick for a while and that doesn´t help controlling pitch, i have nothing like that issue in any other aircraft. The way it bleeds speed while turning like a slug is weird, and i wonder if there ever was a less stable platform. If it was really like that, John Boyd must have been something just short of a Hun-riding Messiah. I heard about the Sabre Dance, but never about it being that bad in air to air combat as i´ve been doing with it.Perhaps if stock F-104s are FMd much better than in RL, it was the opposite for the Super Sabre. Any of you feel the same?
  20. I think you both made the point very clear. Boresight put some issues on the table, cangas justified them. Those issues being justified doesn´t mean they will be solved, on the contrary, just make them more important to consider. I would have gone for the Gripen too in such circumstances. Rafale for the Brazilian Navy might be not the best solution. If you are going to play big, you need to do even better. Could have made more sense for India, but Brazil can "fly lower" for a while.
  21. Maldita loteria de Navidad de mierda...
