Chuck Yegar was the first flight combat flight sim I've ever played. I loved the challenge questions it asked prior to the program running. I know the graphics aren't all that but at the time they were awesome. I was much younger then so I thought the aspect that I could interact with things like the radar and engines was cool...however I could never get that darn P-51 off the ground and when I did I'd crash in like five seconds because I stalled out(I think I was like nine or something and didnt understand the principles or drag and flaps and all that) It was a great game too. But my favoriate and to this day I can' t remember the name but it was an arcade machine that I only saw in one place my entire life(celebration station in Memphis) it was an attack helicopter simulation. You got to sit in the cockpit operate the pedals, the flight stick, and the...collective, collecter? (the freakin thing that helps the chopper go up and down as well and control speed) go got to use all of that...sad thing is though it that you had a third person view of the chopper you were flying(my memory is really hazy on that part) nevertheless that was the BEST flight sim I EVER played. When you got hit the seat would shake and pop.

True...it would be nice if they paid the money back some kind of way.

If I knew what I were doing I would be honored to create one. I've searched the sight and haven't found it yet. I may not be looking hard enough however I will re-double my efforts later on. My virtual airforce won't be complete without one you know.

Okay. Here's my plan for this economy. When the government takes taxpayer's dollars to bail a company out...the taxpayers should get stock in that company. Its only fair. The company gets bailed out and we get some stock to boot!( a little extra cash to buy more games )

How come one government agency can't give the clearance? I mean come on its a used decomissioned plane. I can understand the FAA wanting to know about its location so other pilots wont think its a downed plane...that makes a little sense. I hope the wings don't fly off during a wind storm.

Blow the candle out in the outdoors....that alarm is one sensative piece of equipment. I'm glad we have it. In case of real fire we'll probably have enough time to get the heck out...hell the Fire Dept. Might be waking us up too. They got there quick.

one packet of salted peanuts for me please

I have this alarm service APX. Very good service. I'm cooking spaghetti; I strain the noodles and low and behold one gets left behind in the pan and burns. Well I figure no biggie the vent fans are running. Well I hear this fire alarm that APX installed(it automatically calls the Fire Dept.) sound off. the alarm keypad declares that the smoke alarm has been triggered. I rush to and put the abort code in.(its only a three yard dash and I did so within seconds of the alarm being sounded.) So I call my buddy a few minutes after this happens and guess what I hear...you guessed it. Firetrucks(two engines and the chief to be exact). The cheif arrives and I motion to cancel(by mimicaing cutting my throat) the chief, a fairly large man, steps out of his red dodge truck with a big smile on his face. he asks "Is everything all right?" By the this point my heart is ready to explode out of my chest and I reply "yeah everything is okay, sir...I'm about to s**t myself-but everthing is okay" I told him I was cooking a little noddle gets burned...the steam is thicker than the smoke THICKER than the smoke AND not only that the other smoke alarm that you buy at any Wal-Mart or hardware store DID NOT GO OFF. I explained that to the chief as well. Then I did only thing I could do and I ask "do you any of boys want some tea?" He declines with a smile on his face and I appologize and tell him how dreadfully sorry I am. I have a lot of respect for them and I thought APX cancelled everything. The cheif says he prefers these calls at least they can go back to the station. He aslo mentions that I know the system works. We shake hands and part ways. Lesson learned: one be extra extra extra carefull when cooking. Two don't lite a candle in the house EVER. no smoking in the house(for those that like to smoke because I don't smoke) and there are plenty of resturaunts in my area....might be using those for quite a while.

Not sure if this has been posted here before.

Yeah so posted this vid in the wrong spot my bad

Those are just so awesome! Thanks! There are two things you never go wrong with....hot chicks and planes

Okay so the person with the big wallet needs to do two things One make the dream happen And two put me down for a lamborginni (paid in full) for christmas:grin: hey I'll take mercedies too.

I keep finding more and I can't make my mind up!

I like!

Nicely said Coot I like the idea of Iceman's kid training under MAV; however, I think I like the idea of Goose's son returning to fill in fathers footsteps even better. Jesture and Viper hanging out in a bar getting picked on by the young hot shots is really awesome too!:yes:

Her name is Dayana. I don't think she's a professional model...you might have a shot. Pack your bags though I think she's in BrazilMore Info BTW I hope the flight equipment won't take too much away from her beauty...what am I talking about? She'll make the flight gear(and even the plane she'll be using) look even cooler

Maybe she could play the role of Charlie's Daughter?

Yeah that would be funny... ...and maybe she could reveal that fact when he asks her on a date...

Maybe the chick could be charlie's daughter Flying Leathernecks isnt that a John Wayne movie... And yes Hot Shots is a really great movie. It would be funny to see them act dopey in an F/A-18 or F-22 or better yet the classy B-2 Spirit Bomber. Okay it would be interesting if they did a prequal to the movie. Maybe we could see some Wild Weasal action?

I saw bits and pieces of IE...I'm just wondering how a thirteen yearold can fly an F-16 I mean does age affect wheter or not you can handle G-forces Oh and am I the only one that thinks the movie Stealth wasn't all that? I mean they're doing like mock twenty something and noone is wearing G-suits.

I did manage to find a link Top Gun 2 and after reading this I'm starting to think that one of us may now a little more about this movie...or is just by chance that Bongodriver had a similar idea? Now maybe once she graduates from NSAWC we could see breif dogfight at the end of movie like they did in the first movie. And for the record I know stealth is great and all but the ability to target and engage multiple boogies at different ranges and altitudes simultanously is still awesome

I've heard talk about a remake of Top Gun. I hope...THIS TIME....they can get their stuff right and have real migs in the picture. Look the F-14 is still one of my favoriate planes(its the first one I fell in love with and is the reason why I'm a fan of aircraft) I would love to see the ole girl go up against some migs. But they might have to be a bit more accurate and go with the F-22 vs. Su-35 (but I think that match up wouldn't make much of a movie would it?) Anyway I'm just wondering what the news is about that rumor.

Okay so I can add the planes and helos with no problems whatsoever. But adding the weapons such as BLU Daisy is driving me nuts. And for some reason my computer won't save the changes I make to the .ini files. I'm liking the whole nuke idea seiously. But it won't work so well until I figure this stuff out. Back the drawing board.
