  1. I wonder if this new missile fixes the FPS drop
  2. I'm more excited about the edit button than the next inclusion of aircraft.
  3. Interested in the "bomb" method, as I tried to get my flares to work that way...instead, used the rocket method with decent results. If possible, could you make a video so I can see how the flare floats and twirls. I want to get a more natural "bob and float" to it.
  4. Stephen Hawking: Abandon the Earth

    I know I'm going to hell for this but, am I the only one reading his quotes in that robot voice?
  5. Airshows Near You This Weekend

    I'd love to go but none of those are near me, sir.
  6. Judge Rules Against Stolen Valor Act

    Living in a high density service retired city, I see many ads, cards and ties with mini-medals on them. They are usually worn when there is business being conducted. Now, without a DD-214 form in hand, I don't know for a fact if they are telling me the truth. I am very pro military and would lean towards awarding contracts to someone who risked their life or outdid themselves in any fashion while serving - it shows the type of character I would want working for me or representing me. Now, tell me again how there is nothing to gain monetarily from misrepresenting your military record, or lack of it? I mention the policeman and handicapped person because it clearly illustrates what someone can easily get away with with a few lies. We aren't talking free speech in these cases but how people use free speech to perform fraud.
  7. Tiger earns its stripes in Afghanistan

    Interesting news. Hinds, Apaches and now Tigers. I hope they do well. Might have to do something about that paint scheme.
  8. Judge Rules Against Stolen Valor Act

    Where does this crap end? I guess I'll start claiming I'm handicapped so I can get those sweet parking spots, a policeman so I can get my donuts for free and just about anything else I want to as long as I shove it under the 1st Amendment. That idiot and anyone else who claims stolen valor is doing nothing more than fraud. Whether they used their 1st Amendment right to perform fraud is another story.
  9. New phone

    I know its too late but you should have picked it up during Father's Day weekend when all phones were free. I picked up 4 new phones for the clan.
  10. I'll talk with Pasko on the status of the 53. It is both his/my work so it might become available without feeding the thief at yap.
  11. 30 Years of CaddyShack

    Classic....aaahhh...doodie!
  12. I'm looking to buy a movie and can't make my mind up

    You want action? I can only suggest Romper Stomper.
  13. Brit's make worlds strongest beer ($762 per bottle)

    Doesn't compute for me. $762 per bottle! That's about 108 pints of Guinness at my local pub.
  14. U.S. "News From the Front"

    Way to go TOP !
  15. I'm referring to the textures, flora and fauna. Stary has steadily outdone himself. Thanks Dave, now I know what an acceptable time to start drinking is. Remember, you can use the bottle opener like we showed you. No need to bite the long neck off anymore. Happy Father's Day bro.
  16. Wow Stary, you have turned this game's ugly stock terrain into something really beautiful.
  17. Am I hearing you correctly, Kevin? Are you saying that any and all mods for Korea should only come through the KAW team? Did anyone let TK in on this bit of knowledge when he wasted all that time and effort on the P-51?
  18. One issue could be that a certain mesh has too high of a poly count. I think anything below 3k polys would show.
  19. A View On Ilegal Immigration...

    Only too true, Erik. I think that if people would just be honest with what they want and not be hypocritical, a real solution would eventually surface. For example; during a period when much of the labor was away fighting WW2, a solution was found in the Bracero Program. Everybody won.
  20. A View On Ilegal Immigration...

    I'm not taking any side. I simply try to enhance the obvious hipocracy that is always prevalent in the illegal alien argument. The reason I don't take a side is that there simply isn't one to take that makes any sense. Everyone is guilty and everyone is right-ish. Look, I really doubt the AZ employers are being punished. Its more likely that they are being hampered by some token fine that doesn't equal or exceed the cost benefit that hiring an illegal would provide. If the fine was a million dollars per illegal hired, then you would convince me.
  21. A View On Ilegal Immigration...

    Every once in a while this type of thread always pops up and every time its the same exact thing. Why don't those illegals just follow the law? Why are they a drain on the economy? Why don't they pay taxes? etc etc. Seriously, I know plenty of people who break the law by not paying taxes, get social benefits etc - all of them citizens. This entire argument of "they" are causing the downfall of the US is overblown. The reason many if not most are here is for economic opportunity. Remove that opportunity and there is no reason to be here. Illegals do not hire themselves. They are actively sought after for the cheap labor, plain and simple. The whole system for catch and release is a complete joke. They are hired, they are deported, they are rehired or someone else is to take their place. Why not hold the employer at fault? If the penalty was more than a simple fine, and maybe some actual jail time, then maybe employers would think twice about hiring illegals. This means your mom and dad too, who cruise Home Depot looking for that el cheapo labor to build that nice new gazebo and fence. I know, none of you guys would ever think of hiring "them"....yeah, right, sure. When it comes down to thin profit margins and competing for contracts, many will do what is already being done - hire illegals. I see this all the time and every time I ask the same question - if it bothers you so damn much, what are you doing about it, besides griping on some forum? Go boycott known chicken producers, home builders, government contractors who build border walls(my personal favorite), medium sized factories ...you get the picture. After all, hitting the pocket book is the best way to achieve social change, while the easiest is through armed revolt. In these tough economic times, I really feel for the guy who is trying to do it "right" and by the book but that is not the American way. It should be but it isn't. We don't play by a set of rules. We figure out a way to overcome that obstacle be it legal or otherwise. Any honest and in-depth reading of history or evening news will show that our leaders of industry, politicians and pioneers all did it by dubious means. So go ahead and get that deck built this summer, Home Depot will still get the money for the wood.
  22. Simple 1.) A2G turrets 2.) Working FACs
  23. No such thing as YAP Hueys. They are Pasko/Diego Hueys. My list - UH-1C, AH-1G & OH-58A
