  1. And now, for our feature presentation....

    Well, telling the basic story in a different way is one thing (Río Bravo and El Dorado), but when you start messing with the characters too... well, that's different. Problem is: you don't want to make an A-team style movie? OK, then be honest and tell that story with other name and characters, otherwise people might think (and I'm not sure they'd be wrong) you are offering one thing and actually giving other.
  2. And now, for our feature presentation....

    "re-interpret" as in "turn the hero into the villain" you mean? I'm not sure fans of "Mission:Impossible" or "SWAT" liked that idea either (as SWAT fan I didn't like it at all). Anyway, I think they should keep the original timeline (Vietnam veterans in the middle/late 80's).
  3. Somali pirates target navy ship - Pic sez it all

    Perhaps that was their plan all along. That or they were a gang of daltonic pirates and they didn't see it was a grey ship. I mean, except color, it doesn't look so different from any other cargo ship (I think)
  4. Probably to make people think "This is not a console game"
  5. OFF TOPIC

    Yo creo que eso de "probablemente la mayor lección que hemos aprendido los argentinos en esta guerra es que somos un país latinoamericano" lo dice más bien refiriéndose a "de quien te puedes fiar (los demás países sudamericanos) y de quien no (en este caso Europa)".
  6. About RAF Phantoms

    I think we should ask wether the USAF configuration improved something, since Phantom was developed by US Navy. Btw, Iam not so sure about all USAF Phantoms having double command I think only F4C and F4D had it. About RAF Phantoms, they were based on US Navy Phantoms, so I think they had the US Navy configuration.
  7. USAAF vs VVS

    That's not only an american problem, it happens to all air forces. Remember that, in the Battle of Britain, Luftwaffe pilots claimed more british fighters than RAF actually had. Of course, there are also the opposite, planes that are shot down and not claimed because the pilot didn't see them crash.
  8. Hawkeye Down

    E2C Hawkeye Jet?
  9. What if ?

    Something with longer range might be needed. I mean, How many AMRAAMs can you really lock and shoot since the targets enter shooting range (40-50 miles) until they reach your position? Btw, speaking of big interceptors, I forgot YF-12.
  10. What if ?

    Tornado F3 is a bomber interceptor, so I think high manouverability was'nt very important in its design. With that in mind, what about an interceptor version of the TSR? It may sound a little ludicrous, but I've read about plans for an interceptor B-58, and, of course, there was the Tupolev 128 (bigger than both, TSR and Aardvark if my memory is not fooling me)
  11. Finally downloaded. Now the problem is finding time to ptry it, but it looks good .
  12. Interesting Interview with Ex-Taliban Fighter

    Make it two trolls then, because I totally agree with Unknown pilot on that. My country was part of the front line for almost 800 years, you know.
  13. Only problem for me right now is downloading it. Anyone else?
  14. IAF IL-76 PHALCON Lands in India

    Freetrack perhaps?
  15. I have problems downloading this file. Something wrong with the server?
  16. Veteran...

    Shut up, man. Our politicians are dangerous enough without anyone giving them ideas :suicide2:
  17. ¡The russians are coming!. And of course i'm downloading it ASAP
  18. South Korea/North Korea

    Look at the bright side. Koreans have never started a war for something like this (AFAIK)
  19. The Pain of Watching Legal DVDs

    You've forgotten the funniest part. You know, when you buy the "whatever movie" DVD and one of the trailers wasting your time is the... "whatever movie" trailer. (Ok, only happened to me once with a VHS movie, but why not with DVD too? )
  20. ScreenShots Sueltos

    Aquí va una foto que no es de un simulador (si es obligatorio que sean de simuladores, avisadme y la cambio)
  21. Me hechais un cable con una traduccion?

    Yo puedo echar una mano de vez en cuando (no mucho, porque tengo poco tiempo libre y soy una auténtica catástrofe para organizarme)
  22. Show off your Desktop!

    I have 2 Windows installations First windows desktop: Second Windows desktop background
  23. Well it hovers... The F-35 that is...

    The millenium Falcon, of course.
  24. To the French

    Terrorist in traininig. Yes, their supporters (too many in Spain, even among those who say they don't like terrorism) say it's not the same; but those street riots (planned by ETA people) are essentially the first step for future terrorists. About political support for these "people" , I only mentioned mr. Giscard because, if I had to say my opinion on our own politicians :angry2: (actually, 1/1000th of my opinion) I'd be banned for ever from this forum (or any civilized place) for foul language
  25. Today at work

    Actually, I had already seen pictures of Warthogs with those big fuel tanks. A pity I don't have them here to post (they were on a book I cannot findright now)
