A really beautiful plane

Problem is, thank to our laws having nothing to do with common sense, just defending yourself (shoot to the thief's foot, knocking hin senseless...) is more and more seen by our lawpeople like a crime. So if you decide to defend yourself, you must think seriously of leaving no proof or witnesses. Of course I don't like it (I'm not sure I'd be able to shoot even a non lethal shoot) but, should we let someone attack us or our families just to make our lawyers happy?

Better leaving it like it is now. Last time Lucas decided to change something he made Greedo shoot first The original: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=e1YbFnkZwZk was much better.

Tal vez me equivoque (lo de los mods está fuera de mi alcance) pero si estamos hablando de los simuladores de Thirdwire (wings over donde sea) creo que las decals son simples archivos .TGA

I don't think society has really become too soft in the matter we are discussing. I think the problem is that judges and lawmakers are not affected by this kind of problems like us lowly mortals. They don't need to think about the problems of self defence because they can go from home to their jobs without stepping on the streets, and when they actually decide to walk they have their bodyguards to deal with that. They don't need to think of anyone breaking in their homes because they live in houses with expensive security systems and guards patrolling the area, so why bothering with something that works fine for them?

Right now things are very similar here in Spain. The way thing are going nowadays, a time will come when if you are attacked and choose to defend yourself, you will have to make sure to not only win, but also kill whoever is attacking you and make sure the body is never found. Any other way you'll be in deep trouble just for defending yourself.

Most countries don't have strategic planes (heavy bombers, heavy cargo planes...) so I don't think this is a problem. It's like our baby carrier. It's not Nimitz class carrier of course, but it's all our pockets can afford (though even that might become too expensive for us the way our country is going nowadays)

This is only for personal Phasers. Ship's Phasers are always set to destroy Unles you mean the Star Wars ion guns, of course

Lucky you. Here a high rank politician can kill (and probably eat his/her victim's body) in front of a police station with a thousand witnesses without getting any punishment (and probably without losing the next election.)

That's true but, with the exception of UK There is at least as much red as there is blue on those flags. By the way, mine:salute: is half red too.

I think there are other reasons. Probe and drogue system can be installed in airplanes where boom can not. At least I can't think of a boom system installed in an Hercules.

Your insight serves you well

Hello, I need some help with a F-15E I got for Christmas. I'd like to know if the outer wing pylons are actually used. In all the pictures I've seen, payload is always carried on racks attached to the fuselage, conformal tanks (this kit includes a multiple rack connected to the conformal tanks, I'm not sure this really exists) or the wings inner pylons, so I'm not sure the outer wing pylons are used at all.

Thank you for the info Master

Is that under the F-16 wing a russian AA-12 missile?

I have another question (it's not about F15, but I didn't want to start a new thread for every doubt about kits). I have an Academy 1/72 A10 Thunderbolt and I wanted to add to it a few weapons (a couple AGM 45 Shrike) I had from other kit, but I am not sure if the warthog can carry those missiles. Does anyone know?

My first flight sim was also a non computer thing, the M7X Starship. It was a starship designed to let you look through the cockpit, like you were really inside. A nice toy. Astroneve M7X

¡Ah, bueno! Es que estos mensajes de foro de Internet los carga el diablo.

Bribing is what the romans tried to do with nearby germanic tribes. We all now how it ended.

Hombre Pato, que el F-15 es la generación anterior a todos los aviones de los que estamos hablando (EF incluido). Si de verdad el pak supera al EF tanto como el F-22 al F-15, significaría que el EF estaría aproximadamente al mismo nivel que el F-15 (un caza 20 años más viejo) y que, por tanto, habríamos tirado el dinero.

Thunderbolt es el nombre oficial y Warthog es el extraoficial, que suele ser el más utilizado por la gente que utiliza el avión.

Another way to end the war is the "Red Storm Rising style". Soviet generals, after seeing what Stalin is getting them into, decide he is too dangerous for the survival of the USSR and decide to get rid of him themselves.

You are welcome

Que sea una respuesta al F-22 no significa que tenga que ser el mismo tipo de avión. Simplemente, los diseñadores no habrán dado tanta importancia a la capacidad furtiva. Igual que el Mig-29 es (más o menos) el equivalente ruso al F-16 y no se parecen demasiado.
