Motorbikes... always be careful round a new bike is my usual comment. Me with a new bike, even after nearly 20 years of riding, I always take it easy if I have never ridden one before. And at lrast this moment you had allowed you to learn something... Every bike ride should teach you something... and this one obviously did for you... always be wary of a bike named the Prototype... I have come across a few bikes named The Prototype... and some of them are downright evil... Glad your okay and all that...

Mission editor preview - ground targets and movement
Slartibartfast replied to DanW's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Damn now that looks like Fun... reminds me of my old Janes days back on a 266mhz PC... back in the dawn of time somewhere... Okay now I feel old... Serious though I can't wait to try that out... whats even better is you can save the mission and upload for others... -
I like them as when you look down you can see instead of being a virtual legless wonder your legs are still attached virtually... Edit :- You could also add a splash of red for when the pilots hit... watching the blood flow out of you... virtually that is... but I dont think that that is possible... well maybe...

Which SF1 title should i get?
Slartibartfast replied to revenge's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Okay for the online flying I know that the one to go for is Vietnam for SF1... I know there is a setup on Hamachi who fly SFV online... but for the mods side me I would go for SF2E only just for the Nato Fighters 4+ as it is totally outstanding in all aspects (Only issue with SF2 is no online ability)... -
SF2 Screenshot Thread
Slartibartfast replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You know I always like the Jag... its a great attack jet low down just don't climb to the stars in it as they don't like it too much... There's just something wrong with it that makes it right... not making much sense its because the coffee hasn't kicked in yet... -
Taiwan where also interested in the Jet as well due to the US not releasing the F-16 to them. Change of Administration and they got the F-16 which is practically what killed it as Taiwan where willing to buy about 200 of them or so... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_F-20_Tigershark And before you say it's Wikipedia it is pretty accurate on what happened. But your right this jet would have made money but it was against the F-16...

Microsoft Flight Sim Discussion
Slartibartfast replied to Rambler 1-1's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator
I know this jet very well I remember flying it back in the days when I was on FS9 (Shame my discs corrupted and someone was nice at Xmas giving me FSX...). If you have a place for an FSX Pilot then I could be in but it will have to wait for a few months as I am in the process of moving... from UK to Austria. I also have all those planes in my setup and I love challenging flying... and as to weather no navaids no problems I am normally found loitering around the Himalaya's in either a twin otter or a Dash 8... its interesting taking off in a Valley and having to circle above the field to gain height up to 8000agl before being able to head in the direction you need to... even more interesting using the older props as well... which don't really have the power to get up there... yes Grumman Goose I am looking at you... -

Slartibartfast replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Have to say those A-26's both B and C are going to be put through the wringer when I get my hands on one... they are fantastic pieces of work... well done to all of you and many thanks on behalf of me to everyone involved as you stated this is raising the bar for mods from the work I have see so far it looks amazing... Now all I need is a new apartment and a liquid cooled PC to run all this on... -
Expansion pack 2 mission editor teaser 2
Slartibartfast replied to DanW's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
aaahhh gun ranging radar... me I prefer the old fashioned TLAR approach in other words in side of .3nm for western jets or .5km for Soviet jets normally does the job perfectly... but thats just me... like to make things interesting... but saying that I didn't even know that this was there as I have been flying on the Hard settings for years... oh well looks like I better RTFM... -
UK May Borrow F-18s For Carriers; F-35Bs May Be Scrapped
Slartibartfast replied to Erik's topic in CombatACE News
Well getting Bugs or Super bugs means the carriers will have to be setup for CTOL which means that buying the STOL variant of the F-35 is a crazy idea... as everything is in place to use the CTOL USN Variant which can bring more back payload and fuel wise also has better range, as well as being cross deckable with the USN jets and should work out slightly cheaper than the STOL Variant. Makes a whole heap of sense to me... -
Me I was asleep... when the first one hit... (working nights does that too me) and my brother phoned telling me someone had bombed America. Got up switched the TV on and there it was the second jet slamming into the tower. For the next 5 hours my mobile/cell phone didn't stop. My old boss called me up asking what the state of play was in me coming back to work for him etc... just in case as he put it. After that I went to work not much was done that night as I spent a good 2 hours on the phone to my old boss at 22:00... Me I was expecting a glass factory in Afghanistan to be made... didn't happen. And the troops are still there 9 years on...

OT Douglas Bader interview
Slartibartfast replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Oh great the good old BBC... something I wont have to live with anymore especially the license which I disagree with. Though granted they do do some good programs most of what they do is complete and utter .... or failing that repeats. While looking at the BBC Channel I get in my apartment at present its all Doctor shows and Eastenders... or dancing on ice... Where as watching shows in German allows me to be amused or should that be bemused as my fluency in Deutsch is not great as of yet... but thats a wip so that'll be 2 weeks... -

Ain investigation into the AI behavior of all TW series 1 simulators
Slartibartfast replied to Ticket1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I think that the major issue here is that pfunk just doesn't accept that this is a Flight Sim Lite... he wants it to do what Falcon 4 does which it cannot do... me I have a terrible time with Falcon 4 due to my poor brain getting fried... I used to be able to fly it all the time when it first came out still have the original manuals somewhere the big huge manual... (Only time I have read the full manual for a game) Also if he has major concerns why doesn't he come here and get them answered as Combatace is the place for Thirdwire... or maybe yet he just wants to vent... remember no matter what you do some people you cannot please and I have found that SimHQ is not exactly Thirdwire friendly... but that is MHO... -
