I remember swimming with a Blue Shark of Acension Islands (well it was a few miles out actually about 30 miles out) back in 1997 and it was one of those moments of wonderment well it was for me... another guy stated he didn't know if he should change his underwear or be amazed moments... such a Beautiful creature and how can you get it mixed up with a Sand Tiger ???

Next question...

Do not use the brakes until you have slowed right down as the brakes will flip the plane over every time on landing...

Only just found out about this today... but Orbiter has gone through a major update to 2010... http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/home.php Get it here...

Okay when landing the piper I have found it best to keep back pressure on the stick when the wheels touch... Also I do land it gently and aim for a 3 point landing also killing the throttle just before landing helps... Best advice though is practice practice practice...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10928024 Looks like 8 people on board in really bad weather.

I think for that one its a create it yourself job...

I raise a to the next 500

Have a good Holiday... hmmm Herr Olham and the old Chap Widowmaker on leave at the same time... Spies me thinks or something more going on...

. No words

Okay this is looking really interesting now and I am awaiting this with anticipation...

Herr Olham at present I am in Vienna and I might be here for some time so knowing Deutsch does help... especially if I move here for good... which is what I am hoping.

Okay the Carriers dont appear in Single Player unless you have created a single player mission involving them. Carriers only appear in Campaigns if they are tasked to operate as Aircraft carriers... Hope this helps.

Have a good hoilday Herr Olham. I apologise for not replying in Deutsch but I am learning slowly...

Me 3...

If I remember rightly the F-16E/F model was punting at $26.9 million 2005. The C/D was about the same money or slightly vheaper as a Mirage 2000 $23 million in 2006...

Well at present I am using a works laptop its a Dell E Series Latitude E4300 and it runs SF2 with Nato IV+ on medium settings with mirrors and shadows very well... Running XP 3 Intel 9300 Core 2 2.26 2 Gigs of Ram Standard Video Card & Sound Card I have yet to see a problem and on SF2 Nato IV+ I have modded it further and it is yet to falter even when I see an entire SA-3 Battery let loose... Thats 6 Launchers with 3 birds a piece while flying a TMF F-14B... and there where about 20 other jets roaming around besides me and my 4... So it took a good beating and seemed to say is that it... So anything with above those specs and you should be very happy...

Must admit I have FSX havn't flown it in awhile but my I own the Cargo Hauler addon and it makes it more interesting... Especially as I start my companies in out of the way places like Nepal or Alaska... Its Interesting flying out there especially with realistic weather switched on... and trying to get a Cessna airborne from an 8000ft mountain fully laden to fly 500 miles to another airfield at 10000ft does make it fun to say the least... Trying not to break the cargo or the plane...

There is a single seater out there just look in this link there's a C an EM a 2000-5 just need to look through the list until you find one that works :- http://combatace.com/files/category/280-mirage-and-kfir/ There is also this one in the SF2 Downloads http://combatace.com/files/file/9843-mirage-2000-5-beta-for-sf2/

Yup they did... But why not the, from what I heard the JF-17 isn't that bad a plane. Its probably easier to maintain though possibly requiring more maintenence per flight hour than a western jet. Cheaper and until someone matches it up against an F-16 (aka the bellybutton seems everyones got one it used to be the Mig-21's byline) and I am sure thats going to happen soon with the Pakistani Air Force and the data is let out. Seems like a good deal also it does come without the western restrictions that are sometimes imposed. Its like buying a VW or a Skoda why buy a VW for the price of a VW you can buy a new Skoda and you get all the toys with the Skoda... So the badge isn't too shiny (I am not being disrespectful there to anyone)...

Remember as well that the Nuke was a weapon... and as it was total war at the time any weapon that could be used was used. If the Japanese had a nuke they would have used it no question. Also the Japanese where still in for the fight. I have studied enough military history to realise this the Japanese were not going to surrender quietly until after the nukes had been dropped. As has been said the Japanese still had a large standing army with which to repel an invasion. Dropping the first Nuke was simple expediant of using the weapon they had the second was to state we can do this again and again and again. Also it was a warning to Stalin. And as William T Sherman said (I may be wrong) "War is Hell"... Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and some of what I have read on there has made me laugh in its inaccuracy...

And there was me thinking Bruce was born to live... oh well... New pilot I am working on is for SF2 Nato 4+ with a minor modification 3 More Red Air Squadrons and 1 Spainish C-15 Squadron... along with an A-7E Squadron for the carrier and I am looking at updating the A-6E out of ODS to SF2 to park on the carrier deck... as well along with the Tomcat and Corsair... Always was my favourite line up on the US Carriers...

Now thats a nice Skyraider...
