  1. North Korea Cooks Off a Nuke

    How about we launch a hundred missiles at them (not armed) and when the missiles blot out the sun over North Korea little flags will pop out with messages saying "if this were a real nuke you'd be dead. Launch a firecracker the next time and these will be real nukes and North Korea will go bye bye." But then polotics would get in they way and that's propbably not a good idea.
  2. Okay I think its awesome. But I lack the nessessary resources to get it done. I live near the Worlds Largest C-130 base and get to meet with a lot of the pilots there. Fighter jets are cool but someone has to keep the pilots fed, the planes fueled up and armed. That's why I think the C-130s and other cargo planes are just as important to a mlitary operation as the fighter jets. Trust me If I had the resorcues and skill it'd been done a long long time ago. Even though its not being done anymore I like the concept of LAPES. Also I've been wondering about using the mission the editor to make a re-supply missions. An object would have to be created. But it would need to be invisible with a huge radius and a low damage threshold; after all it would be the drop zone. Make the drop zone object a target and strike that target using the jeep or pallets-when they hit the DZ and "destroy it" the mission would be complete. Its just a theory. Its a damn shame that most folks see no glory in a cargo plane tha keeps its mlitary moving forward.
  3. http://imageevent.com/okbueno/mopic Old aviation videos. Too many to list. Enjoy.
  4. Best war comedy (or romance)

    I was just about post Down Periscope myself. A good buddy of my a retired Naval Sub Commander mentioned how impressed he was with how they actually conducted (minus the goofy stuff) operations aboard the subs (mainly the newer sub). To him that was more accurate then most other movies he's seen.
  5. Lots and Lots of old aviation videos.

    Welcome guys. I was on another forum that deals with video games and someones old man gave him that link and when I saw if for the first time I immediately thought "The community at Combatace will love this I gotta share it with them". So I'm glad you all got a kick out of it.
  6. Worst War Movie Ever...

    Red Tails and Tuskeege Airmen. What? Why? Okay. They told a great story of men who crossed the color line in the sky. They were faced with opposition both on the ground and in the air. I wouldn't say they were great because the actors and direction in both well lacked a lot. In Tuskeege Airmen is was like B rate acting meets old gun camera footage. More could've been done to show the struggle of the men. Red Tails was like Tuskeege Airmen meets Star Wars ... well understandable considering the only movies George Lucas did was star wars so yeah. Like Tuskeege airmen I found some of the acting not to be engaging enough Ne Yo with fake accent come on dude. All in all they are both decent for the story they tell but as far drawing me in and keeping me invested well they lacked. Dig into the grit of the racial tension of that time. Show the pilots busting their butts to achieve something while the majority of America mocked them and hated them for fighting for America. Let the dirty ugly truth come out. And show, that in the end, when you hold your head up and fight for what you want you can get somewhere no matter how bad someone dogs you. I think the directors of both movies tried to dial down the racism because it is still to this day something that will start a fight. I say they shouldn't. Let the truth out.
  7. What about good war films in general?

    Nope. Loved that film. That and the Great Escape I know that film was long but it was great to watch.
  8. Fear This!

    Yeah a sport with a bunch hot chicks and boobies is something most of us can agree on. I now give the floor back to macelena
  9. Fear This!

    What about XXtreme?
  10. I've been talking to the mod author behind this and they are finishing up a laser designating system. The author will soon tackle the first person flight mode. Keep in mind that there are no animations for flying aircraft let alone the actual view of banking. Fallout New Vegas physics will be problematic but there is a possible work around. If you're interested I'll keep you posted.
  11. Aviation plus Fallout a WIP could be reality

    I know we have Thirdwire but combining a shooting with a jet game to me is kind of awesome. I mean the thing can fly it will look funny with in the cockpit if it can't bank correctly
  12. http://newvegas.nexu...com/mods/49042/ Driveable Cars for Fallout New Vegas. This person here I tell you what. This guys modding skills I tell you what. Don't get me wrong theres a lot of great modding out there but this guy here has some mad skills. I'm gonna see if this guy wants to cross over into aviation. First release was a few days ago. Quite buggy (but its a beta so considering its still awesome) I'd like to see what he can do with the Thirdwire engine.
  13. Top Gun 3D

    ROFL :) So who is the "hot chick love interest that we will never see again" going to be?
  14. That told her!

    Epic
  15. Top Gun 3D

    Now if the seat barreled rolled with film that might be worth it for me anyway.
  16. Military Question. British Uniform

    Hey I was looking at various videos of guard changings. American and British. During the British video I noticed some were black unfiorms. What is the significance of these uniforms what is theiir symbolysim?
  17. Military Question. British Uniform

    Oh okay. Thank for setting things straight. Watched a parade where the Queen recognized the colors of the 1st armored regiement (the Qeen's Birthday March). I couldn't tell if she looked ticked off or happy. They kept saying she was happy but she just looked like she was angry or something.
  18. Military Question. British Uniform

    Cool. Thank you for taking the time to answer that. But in answering one question another is raised. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kr6KstzpHVk#t=78s Why would cadets stand guard at the palace? To me that's a like a recruit standing guard at the white house.
  19. Happy Birthday Marines

    Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat. RAdm. "Jay" R. Stark, USN; 10 November 1995 There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion. Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army The wonderful love of a beautiful maid, The love of a staunch true man, The love of a baby, unafraid, Have existed since time began. But the greatest of loves, The quintessence of loves. even greater than that of a mother, Is the tender, passionate, infinite love, of one drunken Marine for another. "Semper Fidelis" General Louis H. Wilson Commandant of the Marine Corps Toast given at 203rd Marine Corps Birthday Ball Camp Lejueune, N.C. 1978
  20. Fallout: New Vegas Humor

    Heard rumor of the next one being in Boston.
  21. Fallout: New Vegas Humor

    Mod can be found here. http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/47817/ There is a plane that takes you from the main wasteland to the island home.
  22. Thoughts? [RPG Flight Sim/Wetdream] WARNING LONG READ

    Like Jet Lii said Take the best of everything has to offer and make it your own. So Ironroad, like you said,By taking the best elements and blending them together will make an epic game something true to what the game portrays and to the gamer. I miss when games where about whisking me away and letting me explore another world. Now its just there to distract me and make more money off me. $60 for a four hour game? Hello no. $60 for a game which is another digital life with things to do and places to go? Hell yes. I'd be a fool not to realize how difficult and expensive something like this will be and a bigger one to rush things. That's why I'm taking my time and getting my money saved and invested properly. Researching things now so later when the moment comes I'll know exactly what I want.
  23. Thoughts? [RPG Flight Sim/Wetdream] WARNING LONG READ

    Thank you for taking the time to give me your thoughts on this guys. Lazarus I like those ideas. When it comes to the rescuing and SAM missions perhaps we can use these moments to honor the support personnel that help keep a base functional. Pay Homage to them and let other people see that behind every pilot there are hundreds of others that work just as hard to keep him/her in the air. Cost to for copyrights on something like this are going to be a bitch....(so China can't steal it :) )
  24. Thoughts? [RPG Flight Sim/Wetdream] WARNING LONG READ

    Not possible yet. This is something for later on way down the road. I'm going to invest in some other things before turning around and doing this.But this is something I really want to do. I've been talking with some other people about this and as plausible and possible it seems we do realize the obstacles that lay ahead. The big things are cost and will we make any profit off of it. I think the ratio is like 1 in 5 or something like that. One great game pays for the last five that didn't fair so well. I think it cost $100,000 to make a plane more depending on complexity. So already my project is going to cost millions upon millions to make. But I know it can be done. Out of pit experiences are there to break the monotony of the game they aren't there to upstage the game for it is just something to add a new dynamic. The reason for the ability to mod the game is hopefully allow the rivet counters to get something out of the game as well. Because the planes other sims have used and used again will bore you. And its hard for me to please a person like myself while trying to get a crowd in. They like A-10s F-18s and what not. We've seen those airframes used so many times there's nothing impressive about the game. I'll admit that seeing these airframes will just make me want to keep playing SF2 or some other game with an F-16 in it that cost a lot less too! That's why I want unique features for the cockpit that are on the real planes that many sims leave out. (if the DOD will allow us to employ or portray those features) Its going to take a while but once my dream turns into a reality you'll be the first to hear about it. For now when I'm looking to invest to make some money (or what little I can make back nowadays) then turn around and play around with this.
