Yea. I just deleted my weapon.dat Ran weap ed and "opened" weapon.ini ... then "save" (without opening any specifice weapon) ... and it created a new weapon.dat same as the one I deleted.

No, if I recall, just once and it will make a new weapon file with all weapons. If you later add or delete or change a weapon, yea you need to run weap ed again...everytime you change something.

There's another one, well kinda. Recall when we nucked Spain back in 62? Somebody made an oddball movie about that, apparently fictionally following the surviving air crew after bailout. All I remember was WEIRD and even surreal. Very, extremely strange movie. Some cool but equally bizarre music score also. Don't recall the movie's name, and can't find it easily.

Ceaser, the BoB movie did all that in the cockpit....panicking, looking around, and, BoB even had pilot blinded by the sun and he got bounced and killed in his cockpit for it. I actually don't consider TG an aviation movie, at all. Zip nothing there.

I find it oddly refreshing, totally lacking in pc, a real romp. Its fun to read the comments and sometimes the baddies do get a takedown which is also fun to see. Not all of them are like that, especially the more subject/hardware specific vids that fewer would goto see.

Pretty smooth film thanks.

ewww ... that wikipedian link describes in some detail the aeroplanes in that movie (or their replicas or stand~ins)... Antoinette Avro Triplane Bristol Boxkite (Farman borrowed) as Curtiss stand~in Santos-Dumont Demoiselle : : etc...

One I saw as a squish was Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines but all I remember was some interesting rival characters, sweet flying low (and slow mind you FC ) over the Euro terrain, and of course the best looking airplanes (well after SAC bombers of course). Don't recall the 6 Lightnings though. I always wondered if the Federal Reserve and IRS coup never happened there would have been no debt financed WW1 (Germany and France stopped paying .gov workers in gold in 1913) then WW1 and Boshevism/Nazism and WW2 and WW2.5 (cold war) would never have happened and the free market aviation based on self liquidating (non bank) credit seen before 1914 would have taken us to the planet Mars by the 1960s instead of bank.gov taking us to Vietnam and more debt. Granted there would have been no SAC B-58s, and no SAC, but perhaps civilian equivalents for filthy rich Mach 2 enthusiasts by the 1940s. Don't underestimate the power of the free market when banks don't control the money.

W, can't you install DLC into a dummy game, then copy over the new thing into your real game? Recall the advice often given, which I have always done, to unzip downloaded mods into a blank folder outside the game, then copy stuff over to the game. Can DLC be installed like that, or at least some of them like airplanes (not AI DLC of course).

mmm...see what happens....edit works great. Do you have a PB max resolution option at 640x480 ?

Strategic Air Command, starring Jimmy Stewart (who actually flew SAC bombers) In its day, the SAC movie got alot of young men to enlist in the Air Force, I bet more so than Tom Cruise did for the NAVY. And....Jimmy Stewart did it with bombers. Of course the biggest stars of that movie were the airplanes ... and the clouds and contrails yea!!!

Dave this nurse will help you feel better. As a bonus, you can be sure you will never forget your anniversary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l29_rJ3_Y4 Free Tip unless you already know it. If you have 24hr stomach virus, you can't keep liquids down. But -- freeze your fave carbonated soda in shot glasses. Then lick or suck on it like popsicle. As its frozen, this puts severe limits how fast you can drink it, so it stays down, and it tastes SO GOOD because its your fave soda frozen and you are thirsty like a man in the desert because you can't otherwise drink anything. To me it seems carbonated soda stays down better during the 24 hours of what I call the "jimi hendrix experience" but you have to drink it slowly...but you can't drink it slow because it tastes so good, unless you freeze it then you have to drink it very slow.

Yep, good point about the country fellas. City or country, maybe its a top down effect -- men and women see every day the corrupt government and Party. Communism and the new foreign debt based corporate feudalism have always treated Chinese men and women like toys. If toys get run over by the system, the system walks on by. CV, this is one...."GOLD IS THE CURE FOR THE JOB-DRAIN" by Fekete. Its kinda deep, and new for me, but this one sentance covers the base idea... He's saying...ie...overseas labour has *always* been cheaper, but not until the wild swings in intersest rates after the 1971 US gold default were businesses forced to take advantage of overseas sweatshops. Its an interesting take. Perhaps even more so than currency debasement, wild swings in interest rates cause problems for businesses' finances...while the banks profit, as Fekete notes.

You can also slide the pilot (player) around inside the cockpit. That is the Offset=x,y,z vectors. Position=x,y,z vector deals with the placement of the whole cockpit, player is along for the ride. Its kinda neat how it works. Use the Position vector to slide the cockpit+player together around the airplane, and the Offset vector to slide the player around inside the cockpit.

Yep. Good point about the city fellas. Yea but UK when you get even older, if your lucky, you may see another picture emerge. CV:: Several reasons, but Antal Fekete has some interesting thoughts on this that are new, related to floating currency interest rates damaging businesses (excepting banks which feed on the floats). Its no coincidence that China makes most of our (USA) consumer products AND holds so much of our debt. I'll see if I can roundup ready something he wrote.

That's rough. Found a Chinese news clip, they show the whole thing. The interesting thing, the official "party" news organs are making lots of hay over this. Apparently, there was another similar event with a boy (moderately injured), but with Yeu Yeu in the news, everybody rushed to stop the truck. If you have a system that treats men and women, boys and girls, as if they were all disposable servants -- persons rather than souls -- you get stuff like this. Here in USSA, there is an attempt by local yahoos to pass "laws" that if you call emergency, you have to pay for it. Result: ignore an emergency when it happens. I suspect something similar here. You see stories of souls helping, and then they get sued or charged with causing the event they tried to help out with. UK:: Exactly --- " PERSON " Sadly, I *know* how you think there. That lesson is a long term trap. When we can pull out of that trap, see the world full of lost souls, its a whole new universe.

At least museaumate the body case. That would be nice to see.

Smooth UK thanks! a pozer The real man, the real "algor," was Albert Goering, brother of Hermann. Albert was arrested by the Gestapo several times, however was released with the help of his brother. I didn't know that. Al Goering paid a post war price for his last name, which shows how we don't want to pay attention. I am not impressed by the Nazis. I am slighlty more impressed with us, but not by much.

Well it makes sense. Ye olde steel trucks make robust Earth penetrators. Try scoring a crater using the new plasti-foam cars.

Its not you. Biking safety on the road with cars is bad enough, but when you have to run the risk of racing bikes next to other bikes? Also sick... I figured out over the years we still live in ancient times, but we just wear a "modern" mask (mask enabled by borrowing yea here we go again with the debt lol). Ye Olde Testament is right: There's nothing new under the SF Sun (well, bible paraquote) ... I guess over there in the UK case, the OFF Sun.

lol That's like those pre-made ready to mail reply form letters you get back when you write to a corporation or congresspersonation.

You can't "regulate" the system we have. We got away with the appearance, or facade, of regulation in years past because the debt system gave the false appearance of working well. But, the closer you get to debt collapse, the more "regulations" must be abandoned, or it all falls apart. They are doing the *only* thing possible to save our system. Okay, we are screwed if we don't regulate. But we are screwed if we do regulate, because then the real numbers come out, the scam blows up, and we have no alternative because of legal tender laws. We are screwed either way -- just look at the debt. Think of it as a financial scam since 1913, when the US central bank and IRS were created here in USA. When the scam starts to unravel where *everybody* can see it as a fraud, you HAVE to fake the numbers, or it blows up in a way everybody can see. Brain:: Your years are spot on. You know, deep in your bones, what's going down. It wasn't Keynesianism. It was a glorious 30 years spending down that 18 kilotonnes of gold raked in during World War 2, while the rest of the world crawled out of destruction. Then in 1971 we (well, USA) defaulted on the 1944 Bretten Woods Agreement by closing the international gold window. Then, oil-gold swaps and speculation in derivatives kicked the can down the road for another 30 years, and here we are. Can they kick it again? I like to think of carbon credits as the new speculative vehicle to prop up the dollar debt system. The top lobbyists for carbon credit trading are the giants -- Morgan, Sachs, etc... I can visualize a world where carbon credits allow another 100x increase in gambling leverage, while the world including the west descend into a third world style poverty. There are a thousand trillion (one quadrillion) dollars worth of derivatives today. Could carbon credits push that 1000 fold to a thousand quadrillion over the next 30 years? Recall, leverage and debt grows exponentially, while economic growth on the street does not. Anyways its all fascinating stuff.

...200 BILLION dollars at his disposal. Libya's central bank was national, "private" (so to speak) ie...not part of the Bank of International Settlements. I figure for some reason the syndicate needs to put Libya's (Daffy's) 140 or so tonnes of gold back into BIS hands. This was peculiar times 3 piece earlier in the year...28 March 2011... Fascinating indeed.

mac :yikes: Gdaffy = Mussolini Visualize that. That just makes sense. Like, I always "knew" that subconciously, but never knew I knew it, until reading your poast. Is it the hat?

I don't make jokes about any airplane crash, even if everybody walks away unblemished. However, at work I was talking with a some guys about how strange deaths can happen. Some examples we talked about... It started with a rap about Spain and bullfighting, getting gored then a guy heard some story of marlin or equivalent jumping at a boat and spearing a man. I heard a story of a high speed boat going fast where a manta jumped up out the water and collided with a woman. Totaled her. Then I brought up some aviation stories...That flight from Hawaii where the roof skin (or door, don't recall) came off and sucked out a female flight attendent at 30,000 feet. The Soviet airliner that cracked in two and all died, but one guy in the tail end survived as the tail glided down, fuselage wide open at the break, and it landed perfectly and as it came to a stop it hit a tree and the guy got thrown into the tree. Totaled the man. UGGGH so close. Another (good ending) was a guy in a Zeppelin bombing England and the ship got torched and one guy jumped (no chute) and he fell through a roof and landed on a big bed. Okay he became POW but we can deal with that. Other weird stories too. Oh and the one that I always *see* in my head ever since I read it -- some escort pilot witnessed a crew abandoning a B-24 over Germany, and one guy climbed out on a wing, realized he didn't have his chute on, and tried to get back in, but he slipped off.
