SayethWhaaaa

No kidding... The last time I saw an image of this was back in 2K1 of the potential PAK-FAs (A list which also spoke of a navalised Su-47 too). Nice 1 Cocas! Love it!

Wings of Russia is a fantastic series. Lots of aircraft/information and pigeon English that you'll never see from History/Military channel doccos. It's nothing personal Yank buddies, but, I could trip over 5 documentaries about the F-15 or the Vietnam War with the same rehashed interviews and footage when getting out of my chair, but I've only ever seen one documentary about Soviet Ekranoplans or with detailed information about the Su-24, Su-25s, Su-34s etc. Also, I understand many of these American documentaries are for the US market, but they're often very generalised and from the US perspective only. A great example of this would be to compare the Military Channel's Mi-24 show with the Wings of Russia episodes. I think the Wings docco on the A-4 Skyhawk doesn't even mention Australian, New Zealand, Singaporean or even Indonesia using the aircraft. The last one I saw on the F-111 didn't even mention Australia and we operated the sucker longer than the US! The most contemporary doccos I've seen come from Military/History Channels have been pretty bad. The series made in the 80s and 90s are superior to the 'edutainment' they show today.

Jesus, you out do yourself with each project Hinch...

I was watching this a few months ago. It's epic!

Is that the GlobalSecurity.org assessment, Stipe? Their F-7Bs aren't modernised, if they were, they'd be closer to the J-7E/G/H variants. The most advanced combat aircraft they have are the Mig-29 9.12 and the Su-25. Modernisation programs have fallen by the wayside due to NK's inability to pay for them and arms trade bans imposed. Not even China has risked the ire of the international community by offering update packages. Much of what's listed here isn't serviceable in effective numbers (word is that the J-5/J-6s are in the inventory on paper only!). The Mig-29s are exclusively used to guard airspace around Pyongyang and are the most used of the combat aircraft, but even then, they get less much less than 50 flight hours/year. The only aircraft that I know get regular use and upkeep are the Il-76s, because they're used as part of the state owned transportation sector. They even used to fly to the UK semi-regularly. Oh, and their Hughes MD-500 helicopters.

Only Eric J's Stryker. The ASLAV/NZLAV aren't available unfortunately. At least, not that I've seen, and I've been looking for them too.

^^ This is precisely what I was thinking, but with much less cursing.

Do you remember the channel you were watching and the rough time? You might be able to place it by back dating it on an old schedule. Or any notable actors/actresses? You might be able to chance it by looking up their filmography in IMDB.

Do you guys remember this? The Mudfighter?? I think I saw it once in the comics and once at a Toyworld near my place, but that was it...

YES!!! :D

...thaaaaaaaaaat's gonna piss off some of the Seppos around here. I love in Spinners! Haha!

Someone divided by Zero again??

So in the last couple of weeks, the Chinese have supposedly flown their new STOVL aircraft, the J-18 Red Eagle. And in the Last few days, they flown their new heavy lifter, the J-20. The J-20 has much the same configuration as the C-17, although with very small power plants (similar to the C-141), but it's the J-18 that intrigues me. I've heard different sources say it's general layout is similar to the Su-33/J-15, which would make the STOVL aspect pretty difficult to achieve without some major redesigning. But then, I've heard other sources say and show what is apparently the J-18 from head, and it looks much like the J-31/F-35 layout. Does anyone have anything close to reliable info on these two aircraft?

Hehe... no amount of FBW could ever to get that fake sucker to fly. lol!

Is this TMF's Mig-29K? Don't they have 4 wing hardpoints?

D'oh, I meant Y-20, not J-20... Yeah, that head on is the one I'm talking about. As for the Y-20, it's nothing outside of some very grainy, low-rez shots or CG renditions.

...give it some time. You'll experience the monumental suck that is AC:AH. After seeing the 'enhanced' version on Steam, it made me feel better knowing that I only wasted $14 on The War Z, rather than $35 on the CoD-iest, and worst, version of AC yet. It kills me because I loved it before the Xbox release.

She's a pitbull! Those blackhawks looked awesome too! Fantastic film.

Yes, experiment, it's the best way to becoming more adept at modding! But be careful though, and whatever you do, don't cross the streams...
