  1. Food for Thought; A Flight Sim for the Ages

    Time for me to chime in Dave. Food for thought indeed, having just checked my profile, looks like I've been a member here for a smidgen over 9 years, I remember some of the sites people visited around then, Column5's forum was great (who can forget ABF?) I started with Strike Fighters a little before that, remembering when this place Biohaz and ACF Central was still alive too. I kept playing SF through sixth form, then doing an Aerospace Engineering degree (furthering my involvement in flight simulation, getting the opportunity to do studies in this for my dissertation... universities have awesome flight sims!), and now I work as a graduate engineer for a Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul company which is a subsidiary of Airbus Group (formerly EADS). Despite real life (work) has pretty much blown my simming activity (and more predominantly, modding activity) clean out of the water, I still visit this place practically on a daily basis, and enjoy keeping up to date with the modding developments people do. Lastly, I believe one of the keys to CA's success throughout the years is that the people who run the place listen to what the users want.
  2. What plane is this?

    It's the BAE Systems 'Replica', not the first time it's been spotted out in the open either, it's kept at Warton. It was a design study run for the second half of the nineties, and was a full sized model.
  3. Marcfighter has posted screenshots over the last few years of cargo planes he's built for SF, whether or not he envisages releasing them even as AI I don't know... take a look at his KC-10 for example which I believe is in the DS Mod as an aircraft which was released.
  4. The first carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08) is quite underway, in fact a lot of the major assembly is complete. Build status as of the recent SP10 FWD lift.....
  5. No one is making fun of you, and this isn't about mother tongue languages. However, here's what happens all the time round here.... "Hey guys, the F-XYZ SuperBlasterMegaSwordTM is a great plane" "Really deserves a high quality cockpit" "Current one isn't so great" "Wanna make me a new one?"
  6. Not the first time this has happened... http://www.nytimes.c...16-engines.html
  7. Personally, not presently, that is an entirely different, and very complex kettle of fish.
  8. A Belated Duxford airshow. . . . .

    Smashing set, you've recorded Duxford very well here.
  9. Correct, repainted, and fiddled with a little as I remember.
  10. Not overly, I need to polish off the skins, I think there's some ini tweaking, don't believe there was ever a dedicated pit for it either.
  11. HOLY SH&^T!

    My thoughts exactly.
  12. For those of you who don't have access to an Android phone, here's a clip on youtube (not mine). It runs quite nicely on my Galaxy S2, would love to play this on the Note II or Nexus 7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ2TEoTjDcI
  13. I was going to say, definitely no need to touch the tail now it's done, perfectly convincing as is!
  14. Any use to you matey? http://img638.images...hpotbrigato.jpg
  15. Indeed, just TMF, I'm in it I can upload some screenies in the screenshots thread, don't want to hijack Veltro's!
  16. Speak Korean? Please help!

    Okay, very odd request, if there is anyone who speaks English and Korean, who would be willing to help me out, I'd be very appreciative. Tonight on the way home from work, I found a camcorder which, judging by the photos on it, belongs to a Korean family, who are on holiday here in the UK. Might need some with some translation etc... All I know is... if I lost my camera equipment, I'd like to think someone might try to return it to me. Thank you in advance to any responses!
  17. Engine and taxi run a few days ago...
  18. Haven't seen that Su-16 around a while, looking good Russ!
  19. I seriously hope you are confused between models and are inadvertently referring to the old Rafale model by Foxmonter, which admittedly looks a little outdated nowadays.
