"Woolworths over in UK surprised me a bit" Was working for them when it hit the fan, then spent most of last year unemployed before starting work with the DWP (beneffis office admin)... amazing what a degree in aeronautical engineering can get you these days Craig

Never really had a problem myself, perhaps try a curved aproach much as you would use with a carrier? Craig

Like Eraser said, what does Israel have to do with it? Personally I think its a bad idea, whats to stop them taking the money an then buying arms/fuel/med suplies/food etc and continuing the fight? Craig

Joe Bloggs in the UK, not aware of a story to go with the name though. Craig

Could always put her number on a mens room wall when you get the chance, standard practice for an ex who f***s you about in my book. Craig

after a comp crash I managed to get it working with SFP1. My verdict: Safer to stop and land than land and stop my ass lol So far my recovery attepmts include bouning off the deck of invincible and running out of fuel before coming around, stalling at 50 knots bcause I was overloaded with fuel, and smashing into Fearless' superstructure after ralising I didnt have fuel to make it back home... Also having a hard time locating targets on the deck... taken out a C-130 and 6 Mirages in 3 mission thougho must be doing something right :) Thanks guys, been overlooking this one for far to long. Craig

Found another thread stating that 05/25/06 is the patch to use with this mod so tried again using that one to the same effect as before. Everything installed in the right place, main menu music playing, menu screen black... just about ready to give up again Craig

Just tried again, no bleed through though still just a copywright message and version 08.30.06 in the right hand corner. I am right in thinking that SFG V.08.30.06 is equivelent to SFP1 SP4 aren't I? Craig

Tried this a long time ago with SFP1 and didnt get anywhere, now I've bought SFG and tried again. Installed game, patched game, deleted folders/files as instructed, installed replacement files and edited the medal lists, the game loads however the main menu screen is corupted and all I see is a copywrite message (bottom left) and bleed through to my desk-top clock, otherrwise the screen is totally black. I've went through the process three times to the same effect. Any idea what I've screwed up? Craig

Well for the first time since I was 16 I've actually got the holidays off so I get to choose between at home with my family, my girlfriends family, her mates, my mates or a pub.... decisions decisions decisions... Craig

The good: Graduated.... Started a pretty good job (last week) The Bad: Lost a couple of friends in Afghaistan The wars Made redundant twice in the space of a year Failed RAF aircrew medical Overall, kinda sucked Craig

It may have been mentioned already that however I thought I'd put this here as it seems right: Some of you are probably all aware that Oliver was active in the Falcon4 comunity, I found a small tribute to him at the end of this vid http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/molnibalage/4427/ RIP Craig

Another money scam doing the rounds... someones seen "Three kings" one to may times? Only opened it as I happen to know a Sgt D. Inghram.... "Hello friend, My name is David Inghram, I am an American soldier serving in the military with coalition force in Iraq , as you know we are being attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombs.We managed to move part of funds belonging to Saddam Hussein's family .

Sweet, for use in WO? Lybia or the gulf maybe? Craig

Armorers in order to save time remove safety pins on the deck park when the regs dictate they be removed at the cat. A short circuit in an F-4 causes a Zuni to fire accidentally... Zuni goes on to strike an A-4 on the other side of the ship. A-4 catches fire, fuel leaks and WWII vintage weapons cook off. An explosion kills most of the fire crew leaving untrained personel to combat a fuel fire, thier lack of expertise causes them to use water and foam when they should only be using foam, as a result the foam is carried on the water away from the fire rather than smothering the fire. More weapons cook off, fire spreads. How presisely does an A-4 pilot have ANYTHING to do with this? I had to look up the smear campaign as I'd never even heard of it and found this: http://judicial-inc.biz/82jjohn_mccain_and_the_uss_forresta.htm Utter BS. As mentioned above the engines of the time were prone to wet starts, and even if Mccain had carried out the wet start intentionally how does that trigger an unguided weapon on another aircraft on the oposite side of the ship which if I remember corectly was facing the A-4 nose to nose... Craig appologies for the rant...

"Correct, though we don't need to negotiate with them or have anything to do with anyone who will, as long as we don't start again with all the crusade rhetoric again, their pool of possible recruits will continue to dry up and they'll just die out." Sadly it rarely works out like that... there will always be someone queing up just a matter of how many and how frequently. As long as theres someone in a position of authority and people gulible/stupid/psycotic enough to agree/be brainwashed there will always be someone willing to screw with us. Maybey down the road it wont be Al Queda but at the end of the day it dosnt matter what the loons want to call themselves, there will be someone ready to kill the inocent in the name of their God/Ideology. Craig

Without actually looking into it since i don't have much time, I'd go out on a limb and float the idea that in 2012 the Mayan calander simply resets and its a big fuss over nothing, much like ours resets at 00:00 on the 1st of January.... Craig

Now if it were Whisky it would have been tragic... Craig

SA-80/L-85 theres a good one... About 7 years back I had a barrel melt on me on the range after two clips. Really "great" pice of kit the A-1 was. As for accidents involving the Nimrod, didnt something very simillar happen in the 90's off the Morray Firth, port engine bay caught fire and the pilot ditched it before he lost the wing. Craig

As is the T-28 Craig

http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/ Found this over on a modeling site, figured some of you guys might be interested. Personal best so far is 2.9. Craig

RIP Don't really know what to say, the guy was so young

I have a habit of turning "off" lights that are already off... I just instinctivly reach for the switch when leaving a room, go figure. Craig

Nurse...? looks like he missed his medication..... Nurse...? Craig

Not really, landing will likely be on near emtpy tanks take VTO with empty tanks is pointless. That and Its coming down so isnt really carrying its full mass on landing, for take off there has to be excess thrust mass over aircraft mass to land it only has to have enough thrust to allow for a slow decent. Craig
