My biggest question is how the new terrain engine will affect the rest of the games in the series. Full or limited only to SF2:NA? Hmmm...

Nice!

Just did a massive cleaning out yesterday. Even put some new thermal grease on the CPU.

This is going to sound weird, but, I love you Stary! I've been waiting SOO long for this! Many, MANY thanks!

Two Weeks. I herd it from TK's third cousin twice removed.

Thanks Soulfreak! I was looking for the same fonts!

Very interesting read. Thanks!

He must have a pretty beefy computer. Cool!

Just saw it in the theatre this Saturday. Was very good if you put your rivet counting aircraft side of the brain to sleep.

From Wikipedia, "...The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), also known as House Bill 3261 or H.R. 3261, is a bill that was introduced in the United States House of Representatives on October 26, 2011, by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar S. Smith (R-TX) and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors. The bill, if made law, would expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods.[2] Presented to the House Judiciary Committee, it builds on the similar PRO-IP Act of 2008 and the corresponding Senate bill, the PROTECT IP Act.[3] The originally proposed bill would allow the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as copyright holders, to seek court orders against websites accused of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement. Depending on who makes the request, the court order could include barring online advertising networks and payment facilitators from doing business with the allegedly infringing website, barring search engines from linking to such sites, and requiring Internet service providers to block access to such sites. The bill would make unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content a crime, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison for ten such infringements within six months. The bill also gives immunity to Internet services that voluntarily take action against websites dedicated to infringement, while making liable for damages any copyright holder who knowingly misrepresents that a website is dedicated to infringement.[4] Proponents of the bill say it protects the intellectual property market and corresponding industry, jobs and revenue, and is necessary to bolster enforcement of copyright laws, especially against foreign websites.[5] They cite examples such as Google's $500 million settlement with the Department of Justice for its role in a scheme to target U.S. consumers with ads to illegally import prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies.[6] Opponents say that it violates the First Amendment,[7] is Internet censorship,[8] will cripple the Internet,[9] and will threaten whistle-blowing and other free speech actions.[7][10] Opponents have initiated a number of protest actions, including petition drives, boycotts of companies that support the legislation, and planned service blackouts by English Wikipedia and major Internet companies scheduled to coincide with the next Congressional hearing on the matter. The House Judiciary Committee held hearings on November 16 and December 15, 2011. The Committee was scheduled to continue debate in January 2012,[11] but on January 17 Chairman Smith said that "[d]ue to the Republican and Democratic retreats taking place over the next two weeks, markup of the Stop Online Piracy Act is expected to resume in February."[12]" Explains it much better than I can, but basically, it endangers free speech, and as the article says, whistle blowing. It won't stop piracy. All those sites have to do is change their address and they can't be found. All this law will do is undermine the existing laws that have allowed the internet to become what is is for many business and people.

Even if you aren't living in the US, please sign the petition against SOPA and PIPA. These are both acts the government is trying to pass in an attempt do censor the internet in the same basic way is China was. Help protect one of the few truly "free" places in the world. https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/ https://donate.mozilla.org/page/s/sopa-pipa-petition

Thanks a plenty! Nice to see some newer weapons repaints coming out. Gunny's weapons pack is getting long in the tooth.

Such a beautiful aircraft, the G.1...

Thanks daddyairplanes! You can never have to many Phantoms!

Some what similar to the big mod packs for IL-2 Sturmovik 1946. Very good!

Very true. Looks like he was doing about 60MPH? Maybe 70?

I loved how he just kept going like nothing ever happened.

Hehehehe. I think the driver was like, "Whaooo!".

Now what would PETA have to say?

So who is actually developing this game? Because I know the ACES team responsible for the MSFS series was disbanded shortly after FSX was released in 2006. I'm thinking it's Microsoft game studios but hmmm...

Yes, seen them both. I remember the old IL-2 movie making days. They were good...

Thanks Wrench! Now I can fly near my home town.

And read and follow the download rules religiously...they are very strict.

Ahhh, I see...I can manage! Those sound EPIC.
