That does look good! :shock: :D Still no sdoe yet. You were right, chips and bits has it for $9.99, but those clods want another $7 in various shipping and two handling charges!!??!! Sheesh! So Ill keep looking for a copy...

I havent but will keep an eye out. I get the Gamespy daily which helps to keep me up on "some" of the game happenings, plus with my trolling the forums... :D How did you like the first one? Was there any strategic aspect to the game or was it all only flight sim? I ask that because one of my favorite games was SWOTL. If you played campaign mode, you could plan the airwar as either the Germans ot the Americans. Then once you launch the mission, you could take your place in an aircraft. Now THATS my idea of a good gameplay for a game. I wish that my 5 1/4 floppies holding the game were still readable. I'd burn them onto a cd and build a dos machine just to play that game and Great Naval Battles of the North Atlantic. It was similar in gameplay with both a strategic and tactical aspect.

Thanks SD. It will be a little while yet. Im going to add at least 5 more missions and thinking about as many as 20 more. Ill try and finish mission #7 tonite and send it to you here at biohaz as an attachment for a test run.

WHOA! I feel another movie comin on... :D

Ya know, those might actually be a collectors item one day. Ive seen wierder things become hot items... Liked that website, might pick up somethin there one of these times.

Anyone workin on any good missions or campaigns for this sim? I have several Stalingrad missions for IL2 and am working now on a fictional campaign for IL2FB that takes you thru six training missions in a B-239 (Brewster), then "graduates" you to a BF-109. Right now its linear but may make it random. It has some tracks cut scenes in it too. If anyone cares to playtest the campaign once its done, I'd appreciate it. Ill do the same for you.

WOW! You have a CARRIER??!!?? :shock: Thats IT! I am getting this sim! Just aint found where I can order it yet, but sure as my name is pcpilot, I will be flying a spad soon! hehehe... Found a demo here...http://www.wingswithwires.com/chickencoop/...e_wwi/index.htm The demo link is at the bottom. I dont think this is FS-WW2 but something like the addon WW1 mod. Maybe you can tell us more Argon. Im also having a hard time finding FS-SDOE on line. Can you provide some links?

Lots of nice pics. I espesially like the Dornier planes. They are STOL arent they?

Love this guys sense of humor and writing ability. Im adding him to my favorites. Ya know, the scary part is that its real close to being true. Anything that points to the differance between men and women is being slowly but surely mandated and regulated away, and implemented no matter what the majority think. The differance in the military now and 20 years ago is nothing less than astounding. All in the name of political correctness. But wait, I thought political correctness was suppossed to "celebrate", (Im beginning to hate this word), our differences? I guess only when it is expedient for the feminists, etc. Sure hope we find the time to train and prepare for war in the real world and not just the halls of congress...

First, welcome Argon, glad ta have ya here. Second, I will be cruising the WW1 forum here to keep an eye on upcoming sims. Its an area that interest me. Third, what good WW1 sim would you recommend that is currently out? Like, which one are you and dagger talkin about? Thanks...pc

A real mission editor on the par with IL2FB. Keith's is a start but is a long way from being a complete answer. A proper mission editor would greatly extend the playability life of this sim.

Cant beleive how good that plane looks. Volks and Gramps are kickin butt! :D Be real glad to see the F-8 join the pantheon.

Yes, definately good news. A forum really is a must. And if they visit here too, that would be even better. I am REALLY interested in this sim. It would round out my collection for sure. WW1 aviation is real seat of yur pants type flying that appeals to me a LOT. Hope this title becomes the real deal. Best wishes and good luck to Aspect.

Crab's done a really sweet job of blending in that hump. It'll be cool having another version of the A4. I hope eventually the electronics in the hump will be modeled too. (I beleive it was mostly EW gear wasnt it?) That of course depends on TK.

Since me and my freinds seem to be so big on farting, Im gonna hafta send them your pic MJ, lol. Liked Dialogues' comment too. Put the old timer in a black cape and he COULD be Darth Vader! No, really... Ya know, maybe I oughta send MJ's pic off to the whitehouse...wonder if they have a sense of humor? :D Here's mine..."This is no time for jokes fellas, I want my upper set of teeth back NOW!"

Ghost Recon Ravenshield Vietcong America's Army Splinter Cell (?) Delta Force BlackHawk Down Half Life Rainbow Six ...for starters. :) PS. Im all for having sim style shooters on Biohaz. It might turn into a monster to handle though MJ so watch out. I thought about Unreal Tournament and BF1942 also, both excellent games, but they are more run and gun and less tactical sim.

Hey Beer, looks like the party shack pal... :D Ill just bet your gonna say thats your girlfreind standin there... Question...Those rudder pedals homemade? Looks like you can adjust them for length. The length adjustment have pegs or something to hold the peddals in place? I have GOT to make my own pedals. The twist grip on my logitech wingman FF is cool but not realistis methinks. Anyone got any good plans?

Ranger, you remind me of that charachter on Doonesbury, Mike I think his name is, that always wears the helmet. You really DO need to get out more hehe... (...at least I take my helmet off before I play on my PC.) PS. I gotta get me another camera and set up my scanner before I can show my machine...

First, let me say I am glad she and the rest of the prisoners are safe at home now. As for a medal, I would be surprised to see her get a Silver Star though. That is one of our very highest awards. Of course it depends on the circumstances of her action and subsequent capture. If she did something meritoriuos like saving another life at the risk of her own or offered valourious succer/leadership to the other prisoners, maybe then. I hope they dont just hand them out in this ages' rush for heroes and wind up cheapening the medals worth. And please dont get me wrong. I understand that her ordeal as a prisoner wasnt easy. I often thought how I would feel in the prisoners' place. It would have been very frightening and difficult. But she isnt the first prisoner ever taken. How many prisoners in WW2 or Vietnam won Silver Stars or CMH's except they did something to merit it. Like most posts above, I agree, we should wait and see what story unfolds. Ranger's comment above about women in combat got me to thinking. I dont mean to hjack the thread but a personal feeling if I may... I do not agree with women in combat for several reasons: First, I do not beleive that they are psychologically suited to it. Now before you go spastic hear me out. Women are trained, and it is their nature, to be nuturers, not destroyers. They also tend to be very emotional. Do NOT beleive those few so called "experts" who say men and women are the same psychologically. The stress of combat can break the strongest men, how much more quickly would a woman break? The few months or even years of military training is not likely to change ingrained emotionalism. I would be very nervous of the presence of a woman next to me in combat, considering her to be an unknown quantity for dependability. Of all the women in my Natl Guard unit, there was only one who I felt was capable of withstanding the stress of combat and motivated enough to succeed in action if the need arose, she was a former DI. I consider her to be an exception to the rule, there almost always is one... :0) Second, They do not have the strength to perform on the battlefield under battlefield conditions. They could NOT march under full pack/kit load 20-30 miles a day indefinately. How many of you can see a woman carrying a SAW while running from hole to tree to rock during combat? The Army to the best of my knowledge actually lowered the physical tests requirements to keep women from being discouraged, or whatever, from being constantly behind men. In my last year in the Guard, they actually RAISED the standards somewhat realizing that they had lowered them too much. It was a joke among the men that the PT test was so easy. The old timers who had been in 20 or more years knew what the test used to be in terms of requirements. I am slow as the seven year itch and I could run rings around almost any woman there. When the whole company ran together which was fairly rare, the men would grab the guidon and take turns running around the entire company just to have a little challenge. Men have come out of the unisex Army bootcamp feeling disappointed at the lack of physical challenge. I've heard it with my own ears and read about it with my own eyes. Lastly, I say this too...I was in the military from 1075-84, then got out for 12 years. Then I rejoined the local Natl Guard unit in '96 for the extra money every month. (I finished with 14 years in) It was a UNIQUE experiance coming back into a military that had allowed women and gays into it and had become very politicised and politically correct. Nearly every man I talked to or tried to talk to about this was afraid to talk and speak their mind. Probably thought I was some investigator or something. The differance between the time I was in back in '84 and the time when I went back in in '96 was nothing less than astounding, and more than a little discouraging. Now having sounded like some conservative old fart who is unwilling to change, let me add this...I have thought much on these things since getting out back in 2000. As a Christian, I can not agree with the practice of homosexuality. However, also as a Chritian, I realize how often I have erred and tend to look at Homosexuals as erring humans like myself. I do not hate them nor do I refuse to associate with them. I realize that as members of our society, they have something to contribute, perhaps even in the military. My quandry being in the line that may be crossed affecting morale. It is not clear to me what to do or where to draw it. The military has a mission to protect this country, and all else, politcs espesially, should take a back seat to that. So I leave this issue to men wiser than me. As for women, They have a very valid role to play in the military even if it doesnt entail combat. Never will I think women are any stupider or unintelligent than myself. The ONLY thing that unsuits them for combat is their physical strength and emotinal makeup. I have no doubt that our quickly becoming unisex society will breed even the emotionalism from women in time. Then they will become killers like men. Then who will nuture us? Think about it, what has happened to familys without fulltime moms? And what will happen to society without the gentleness only women can impart? Who will we come home to after the war if we have all fought in it?

Hey, how is the J29 Tunnan coming along these days? That was a cool little fighter someone was making. Anyone know?

You can see my SF video here...http://www.members.cox.net/pcpilot/video/F4Topgun.WMV There are two more good ones here by MajorLee...http://www.major-lee.net/P1.html And the best one for last here...http://www.craigmusgrove.com/tim/radarriderlarge.wmv
