  1. Once you get used to flying it its a good little plane to fly around... just remember on landing to use your rudder as well and make sure the power is off on the engine... glad you managed to land it... I use it for flying around on any new scenery that I have...
  2. Oh I have been there... I have 99 more take off's than landings... shame the 99th is the one that screwed me up most of mine where non-static line watching the world from 24000ft on a HAHO Jump is a very pleasant place to be very relaxing as well... HALO's on the other hand are for the adrenaline junkie well it was for me. Good Vid as well...
  3. Chuck beats up on the annoying guy...
  4. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-10940297 The Russians have parked SA-10's or S-300, depending on your choice, in Abkhazia which Russia granted independence to after the short tussle with Georgia 2 years ago and now advise that they have place SAM's there to protect Abkhazia Air Space...
  5. For me its a two seater as I am still stuck playing full DiD rules in 1916 and thats a Sopwith Strutter... I like it as back then I at least have a chance and I suppose I am an Attack pilot at heart...
  6. 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 ???
  7. Next question...
  8. Do not use the brakes until you have slowed right down as the brakes will flip the plane over every time on landing...
  9. 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...
  10. 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...
  11. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10922843 Made me laugh that he took a beer...
  12. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10928024 Looks like 8 people on board in really bad weather.
  13. I think for that one its a create it yourself job...
  14. 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...
  15. . No words
  16. Okay this is looking really interesting now and I am awaiting this with anticipation...
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Have a good hoilday Herr Olham. I apologise for not replying in Deutsch but I am learning slowly...
  20. 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...
  21. 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...
  22. 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...
  23. 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/
