Hi Sixgun and everyone else, I agree with another poster here. Sandstorms bite! In more ways than one! As for everything else. . . duh, what!? {I'm a nuget, what we called a *NG in my day so, i'm lost with no map, compass, sun, or stars.} Laters all, Rick "WHOSIT" W.

Hi "Sixgun" and everyone else, I'd love to fly with a virtual squadron but, I haven't clue one as to what you mean by SF, WOE, or WOV. I'm guessing they are specific games/flight sim programs of course but, which is whos is what? I'm new to flight combat sims, {thanks to my wife who has gotten me hooked on 'em by buying me a not so hot program,{which goes nowhere} joystick, and com. headset} computer gameing as a whole for that matter. Never liked it but, now I have more time on my hands than ever before and Im hooked on manned flight to begin with. I only have purchased "Lock-On", ver1.02 I believe, and love being a "hog" driver. But man oh man, it's lonely flying with a computer generated wingman who, doesn't really talk to you much and is only good for flying a poor CAP! {Yes, I know all about maintaining "radio disipline" having been a non-straight leg in tiger stripes in what seems another lifetime now but, these are supposed to be FUN.} Would I be able to fit in somewhere and do any of these sims have A-10s in them? Any "Sandys"? I love "low & slow" ground support missions and breakin' bad guy things in indian country. So. . . PLEASE, give me the whole sit rep Sixgun 6 actual. Which program, what com. program is prefered, {I have two already} EVERYTHING I would need to get started. {GOD! Not basic flight training. . . AGAIN!? } Looking foward to your reply boss. Laters Sixgun, Rick "WHOSIT" W.

Greetings and salutations all, Being a nuget within this fourm, might I inject my "two cents" into this conversation? {Well. . . I shall in any case. } Reguardless of their R&D design specs as being offencive or defencive in nature, the object of "the end game", for parties envolved, remains the same. Kill the enemy and destroy their adjunct means of engageing in battle tacticaly. Stratigicaly, destroying the "offending" country's(ies') means to produce these same, as well as, destroying the civilian / political occupant's "will" to so continue. Therefore, it is not only when or where any form or type wepon, or non-wepon for that matter, is to be used but, how and why it is as well. Combined, these ALL determin their true nature of being during conflicts, out right armed or otherwise. As for M.A.D., those nuclear wepons WERE used, still ARE being used effectively by the U.S. and others, as an active/passive pychcological wepon of nuclear attack deterance, making them defencive in nature. However, when actually launched, by all parties involved, at an enemy and utilized, they will become offencive wepons as well, not only by the very large distructive radius powers of blast and heat but, the lingering and the spreading of both lethal and non-lethal but, gene and cellular level mutating long half life radioactive fallout, by the winds, affecting ALL living occupants of the targeted country(ies) AND on this planet as a whole! M.A.D.!? Yes, indeed! In more ways than one but, the threat of it is still working, thank God. But, I wonder yet, when and who will eventually "call the bluff"? Laters peoples, Rick "WHOSIT" W.
