  1. SayWhat is correct, the aircraft you see in that newspaper article is in fact made in a modeling program (3ds max maybe), and is just a render. In fact, here's a pic of it in max.... http://www.supercars.net/pitlane/pics/1788088b.jpg
  2. Betah's forum however is usually quite comprehensive for aviation books.
  3. Poll: Most powerful / moving game moments

    In the One Shot mission of CoD4, when there are nigh on hundreds of Russian troops all wanting to kill you when trying to make it to the evac point, it gets the heart pumping.
  4. Here's some links... Some background reference on the airframes... http://www.bywat.co.uk/39.html Walkaround... http://su22m4.free.fr/canberrapr9vrai/ http://su22m4.free.fr/canberrapr9vrai/canberrapr9.htm Airliners pics... A.net Canberra PR.9 pics One last interesting pic, a 39 sqn bird with a Boz pod...
  5. Sure, if you go to marcfighters.combatace.com you'll be able to download the Mi-8.
  6. Unfortunately, this won't be possible, if you take a skin that is for the current MiG-29A, and then try to use it on the MF MiG-29A when it comes out, it will not work, as the two different aircraft have different mapping. It will require a whole new repaint on the new version.
  7. Mega Poll: Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time

    Now you're talking my friend, I saw Slash perform recently, towards the end of the Velvet Revolver tour, although I'm inclined to say that his live solo in Patience beats it. My top five would be: Jimmy Page - Stairway to Heaven from the Song Remains the Same DVD. Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways Don Felder & Joe Walsh - Hotel California from the Hell Freezes Over tour. Slash - Patience (using Godzilla) Eric Clapton - Sunshine Of Your Love Notable Others B.B. King - Thrill Is Gone Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover Joe Satriani - Super Colossal Yngwie Malmsteen - Black Star Brian May - I Want To Break Free
  8. Thanks Marc et al! Downloading now.
  9. Went to Duxford today, saw XR222 again when I was there. She is a real beauty to behold up close. Looking forward to your rendition Craig.
  10. Holy Moly!

    Many happy returns!
  11. This is getting a bit silly...
  12. Iran's latest....

    Note that this seems to be one of the old original F-5's, hence it still having the IIAF marking, as opposed to IRIAF.
  13. Civil Aviation

    I am quite partial to GA and Civil aviation, I like to spot the aircraft coming into Heathrow as I live underneath the flight path. My brother is an airworthiness records officer for Virgin there also, so he gets to see some of the more interesting civvies that fly in and park up outside the hangar he's in. Like has already been said, if it's got wings and it'll move.... EDIT: Nicky and Craig, make sure you get onto ukar.co.uk, there's a great civvy photography section there.
  14. Iran's latest....

    An old picture, but interesting nonetheless...
  15. Like Wrench said, a little bit of please and thank you goes a long way. It's just common courtesy.
  16. Swift would be a bad idea, a very bad idea indeed. Look up it's dire record of service history of the Supermarine Swift and you'll see what I mean. Something tells me that the TSR.2 would have had a much better life in service than the Swift.
  17. This has happened in the SF community a couple of times, although there are examples of the opposite happening in other sims, where payware later on becomes freeware, take Alpha Sim for example.
  18. Oky doke, was just thinking out loud here, would be cool to have this storming along low level in a gulf war conflict.
  19. Sounds good mate, to avoid the sinking, I guess you'll just have to pull off a full speed rotate like this... http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/BAC-TSR-2/0747978/L/ Thinking about that in fact, would it be possible to avoid the sinking by reporting all 4 main wheels in the gear section of the data.ini? Maybe the min-max extensions points might help to solve it. Not sure how this work, but would be cool to get done. Can then be implemented on similar aircraft, like the viggen.
  20. Looking good Craig, how did you manage to set up the gear so that they rotate upon hitting terra firma?
  21. Mega Poll: Greatest Rock Albums of All Time

    Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction Queen - Night at the Opera Eric Clapton - Clapton Chronicles Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik The other I would say is ZZ Top - Viva Las Vegas
  22. Due to the way that the .lod files are designed to be created, unfortunately they cannot be converted to another format once they have been made.
  23. A tip...

    For those semi-auto weapons which you want to be able to fire faster, asign the mousewheel scroll as the fire command, should give you some quite rapid fire. Works well on stuff like the G3, M14, pistols etc, not so good on snipes though.
  24. If you see the insignia on the fuselage on the second pic, you can see it's a Norweigan bird.
