After the match result, this BBC Sport article is even more funny: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36629201

Iceland 2 - England 1, LOL!

Yep, that is what happens to me too. But now RL kicked in and I can't resume work on my Iran/Iraq terrain. I really want to release it this year, but at the same time I don't want to rush it.

I said "some people". I know there have been others like you who have voted with more precise ideals in mind.

I did, and of course I know it has nothing to do with the EU membership. I was just wondering why the UK is not leaving NATO too; a British general, don't remember his name, once mentioned that he would like to see a NATO-free Great Britain. That's what I don't understand, some people voted "leave" because they want to make Great Britain great again (does it ring any bells? Trump anyone?). It feels like some political parties want to return to 1900 or worse, when we "civilised" Europeans believed to be the superior race that had the right to tear apart Africa, the Americas and the Middle East, for natural resources and other "duties". Today's world is different, it's globalized. Some think it's good, some think it's not, but this is the situation. I can't even think of my country alone as a competitor to giants like China, India, Russia, and many others. Maybe the UK will make it, maybe not. It's their choice. I am only wishing that their choice won't have tragic consequences for other European countries.

Just to reassure you, FRPignon, the M5S is not so populist. I can tell you 'cause I am Italian, and there is a worse populist party, thank God not that big yet. At least in Italy, things are not looking so bad in this regard, and its rather strange I might add, considering my country's past.

Thanks as always for keeping your packages up to date, viper63a. If only I had more free time to restart modding and playing SF2...

Me too, it's a sick world the one we all live in. Back to the topic, while I am disappointed a little for the outcome of this referendum, we must accept its results. Only the future can tell what will happen. I like seeing some jokes about the British now, but then I realise that most likely worse things may happen elsewhere. It's already scary that a guy like Trump made it this far, so as the Brits disappointed me (and not that much, the "leave" won by a narrow margin), I am scared shitless that there is an increase of aggressive nationalism in the US of A and other parts of Europe, or what's left of it. I admit that representative democracy it's failing, due to the low quality politicians we have elected over the years. Then, when you give full, direct democracy to the people (who are obviously much more ignorant in matters of policies, otherwise we all would be politicians), the risk of seeing a new Mussolini or Hitler is not that far. I am generally speaking, I am not referring to the UK. Let's hope that your plan works, because there is no certainty in politics, and having voted for A, and then receiving B or even C as a result, would be a failure. As I said before the vote, I wish the UK the best, I don't care if "leave" won instead of "remain". I just hope that your votes are going to give you the results you expect over the years.

I think I went a little off-topic the post before, so just to stay on track, I have a question; what do you think will happen to Gibraltar? I mean, IIRC 95% voted to stay, they are not going to enjoy this shift of policies anytime soon. I heard that Spain has already requested a joint rule of it.

I am from one of the countries on "very shaky ground", so I don't need to stop, to wonder the reasons. On top of that, I don't blame the EU if the people in my country are eating shit, I blame the politicians we have elected for countless years, and who have done nothing to reform my country (needless to say, they did nothing in the EU parliament). I have the habit to clean dirty clothes at home, if you know what I mean. We have to admit whose mistakes are. Some big mistakes were made by the EU, some by our own governments. Moreover, you are mentioning banks; that should be UK's last concern; the UK doesn't have Euro, we others do, though. But, feel free to enjoy the "independence". The UK is naive if it thinks that it can compete with China, India, and so on. I just want to add that I am waiting for the UK to leave NATO. You are leaving it, aren't you? I guess not, no wonder why. Ah, and anyway, I am just suggesting to wash the flag instead of burning it, because the EU flag has now lost, betrayed its original meaning. Burning is always something violent, and I condemn violence, in any form. Washing a flag would have more meaning, IMHO. Call me liberal (and I am NOT), I simply call it being respectful. EDIT: just noticed you're from Ireland. Anyway, that "you" before the edit was referred to the UK only.

That is exactly what I hate to see. If he really had to do something to the EU flag, he should have washed it, not burnt it. That flag once symbolized unity and peace. Nowadays the EU is/might be something else, but that gives no right to burn the flag that was brought to light at a cost of two world conflicts.

Hey, no need to apologise if you disagree. Besides, the world would be boring if everyone thinks the same. It's your country then, not mine, so you know and see things that foreigners can't. All I can say is that I hope things get better for the UK, one way or another. Wish you a nice independence day then, however you guys may vote.

I hate the current EU too, but I am not that sure that leaving would be the solution, and it could mean severe consequences both for the UK and the rest of Europe. I thought that to change the EU from the horrible thing it is now, one should fight in it, not to flee from it. Anyway, if you want a symbolic gesture, don't burn the flag, wash it.

Hmm, I was wondering... Does the pilot model use .tga textures or .dds textures?

That's interesting. I do experience numerous CTD in my huge mod folder. It seems you finally managed to track down some of the culprits. My first guess is that there must be something wrong or missing in the _DATA.ini of said ground objects.

Congratulations, this thread was meant to share our condolences to the family victims, but you guys yet managed to turn it into another political debate. Since you suggest Islam is the problem, what is the solution? To wipe out 1.7 billion people from our planet right away? Seems rather difficult. Why do I bother replying anyway? Bah! Atreides, since when the US of A doesn't kiss Saudi Arabia? We all know the rich families in the Middle East are financing terrorists, but at the same time they are our "allies" because we buy oil from them.

I say option 1. I guess loadouts could be a problem, but I noticed that some stock SF2 aircraft do use different loadouts according to the nation and/or the year, thanks to some parameters that must be added in the _loadout.ini. So maybe there is no need to create nationalized aircraft folders.

Beautiful tribute R.I.P. Captain Jeff "Kooch" Kuss

jeanba, have a look here: http://combatace.com/topic/54964-better-ccip-mod-v11/ I'm not sure if it works with the latest SF2 patches, it was made long time ago.

I just finished watching it, and it was shocking... No wonder why Afghanistan is a mess right now. I strongly suggest viewing this one, it is a well made documentary.

Thanks for posting, interesting reading!

Ditto! Such an awesome high quality pack (something that the F-35 willl never get, we love the A-10, period). Thanks for sharing!
