Well marcfighter, I had always believed so, but after reading what Sag posted, apparently not, well in regards to the "virtual speedbrake" Which honestly now that it's brought up, I guess not For some reason I always liked/not liked Carlo Kopps stuff. Great articles, but I guess his F-111 stuff always left me with a stuck up advisor taste, but he knows what he's talking about. But regardless, thanks for the article Sag Which brought up maneuverability. Compared to column5's Bug and what I have currently, there's a marked difference. I can speak in relative flight sim terms, as it's like flying the LOMAC Su-33, as the weights are nearly the same (If my mind serves me right, only a few thousand kilograms). But once you get it moving, it handles great. Then again some people equate the Su-33 to flying a pig, but I never have had such issues, except of course, loaded to the gills But in SF/WOE/WOV terms, don't expect to pull off maneuvers currently that you can do with the Hornet. Unfortunately I don't have any real world experience to base off of, but if LOMAC is a benchmark, then I'll say maybe the one I got isn't correct in whole. Weights are right, along with from other sources on the web. I would say the Tomcat is more refined due to the setup, and the Tomcat has a higher thrust to weight ratio compared to the Rhino, I left my wingie behind, and I just cruised along.. Overall it's great for it's intended role but not too sure in the close combat arena, due to the weight of the Rhino, or just how the one I have is currently setup. I feel honestly the FM should be better, but still not too sure. Realize I'm talking about the one I currently have, not marcfighters, as I don't have it either, so just so nobody gets confused.

I think I remember that book, but any Bone driver would be loony to try and mix it up with even a Piper Cub with an R-60 on each wing. But if the claims for the -120D are true, then it'd be a little better. -

Yeah after a few test flights, it's apparent that the Su-33's got a bit more maneuverability, i.e. doesn't hit Max AoA as quick as this one does. If you drop the tank, AoA gets better, but I would figure with the multitude of winglets, elevators, it'd be able to smoke most other aircraft. It looks cool -

LOL Dale Brown would go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over this one... -

lol that's jacked up, least the last part anyways. That one Raptor just waited, because he could have made a missile kill easy towards the end, but just funny when he just fired a burst, and lights out. But that skin.... wow! -

lol maybe I should pay attention... Thing is that you don't really need a high end joystick. Well that's me because I'm a cheap person, but seriously I've got a Saitek Evo, and well, it just doesn't work. Now what I do use is an old Microsoft Sidewinder Precisition 2, and truthfully, I can't go back to my Saitek. But on the other hand as long as you got enough buttons to do something, which LOMAC does have custom mapping available of course. -
Neither me, but maybe will check it out..

True, in some cases they are pretty lame, but I think the newer series really brought back the interest to me as far as the whole series. There's alot of commentary on the DVDs too that highlight alot of what happened as far as story elements, production, etc. It's well worth it to check it out at least. Not all series have the actors tell the way it happened, rather than the producers all the time.
-
Yeah if you can email me that, that'd be great. Was that the same cruise or a different one? I think with the amount of reliable pics, I'm going with the 2005-06 cruise for now, but if you can tell me that one, I can do that as a seperate file. Plus in the works is AJ101, so if you got any of that.. I got to show up a Virtual Tomcatters CO who can skin, and who only flies the aircraft

You're getting confused. LOMAC is hardcoded, but with SF it's probably doable, I just never tried it yet, though kreelin posted his video. Though I do agree, I would actually ask for an MKI, but without TVC support.. -

Parlez vous L'anglais? It's kinda easy to figure out what it says, but in English would be nice too -
Yeah I vaguely remembered the old shows, but again, been watching alot of the DVDs. But I think the one lady that Colin had? Yeah she's not very bad on the eyes at all.... The newer version is more of an hour long, where the older ones were half hours, and what would be a two parter nowadays, was like four to six episodes. The older ones are just that, old, and therefore FX is quite concurrent with the time that they were shot in. Though the best ones or more popular ones are with Tom Baker, as well, because he's so far been the longest running actor for Doctor Who (7 years) while others were shorter (2-3 years), but David Tennant seems to be real popular so who knows.

By far my most favorite series, even the new seasons were actually pretty good, and I've been watching most of the old ones too. Anybody else?
-
I guess so, but to me, when you're far away in a distant time, things may have gotten more advanced, or even if it regressed, it wouldn't have gone that far. Then again, it still was a mixture of the old and new in some respects, that kept it "different".
