  1. Have the hellfire missile racks actually been modelled for SFP? I think I'm doing something wrong if they have been. Just trying to add them to Cap's cobra without success (triple rack works fine, just doesn't look right at all.)
  2. Noice! The Gal-X is the one with the third nacelle and mean assed phaser cannon uner the saucer. That's a nice Excelsior. Any Nebula class ships?
  3. I know comedy central produces both shows, but I thought Menstealia was a piss poor version of the Chappelle show...
  4. Got any Mirandas? Or the Galaxy-X?
  5. I'm a big fan of alternate histories when it comes to books, and I came across a series of books (Very "A Final Countdown"-esque) early last year called the Axis of time trilogy by an absolute dude of an author called John Birmingham. Long story short, it's about a UN mutlinational taskforce operating off of the coast of Indonesia after a fundamentalist coup takes place. The multinational force is prepping to begin operations to retake the Indonesian archipelego when a scientific research ship being escorted away from the AO accidentally transports the majority of the battlegroup back in time to 1942, and in amongst the US task force about to confront IJN forces at what would be the Battle of Midway. Anyone else come across this series???
  6. When's your F-35 gonna be ready? I really wanna fly it! Thanks! jk Don't hurt me... you're the kinda guy who looks like who owns a colt commando... :tomato2:
  7. I just heard something like 40-50 injured. It's f***ing madness! Was it just random?
  8. This is good stuff Flanker! I've been trying to do the same for a Mig-29M skin but for some reason it's still coming out a bit too cartoonish. Guess it means I'll have to have a day off work to sort it out
  9. So what about the rearward firing missiles???
  10. Remember when this used to happen in regards to the Su-27... Ahhh, takes me back.
  11. The mig-29 is like a tutorial aircraft from a video game. Kinda fun to show you the ropes with, but in combat, meh, nothing special It's the kinda plane you use when you need to bomb a country whose air force is composed of kites or balloons, like the Hornet jk I guess as long as it looks like a dangerous tiger, your enemies won't need to know that they'll be gummed to death.
  12. HAHAHAHA! I was born just after the first one came out I had the chance to see "A new Hope" at a cinema a while back and it certainly rocked more than seeing it at home!
  13. For me, it was hard to convert from TNG as a kid to B5 and then after B5, it was hard to watch anything that wasn't! That 5 year arc Jo wrote was priceless and a testement to what good writing can achieve. I don't think we'll ever see anything like it again which is a big shame since just about everything SciFi now has either the SciFi novelty value attached to it, or the formulaic, stale writing that the Trek universe is plagued with (Joss and Firefly/Serenity notwithstanding since he bucked this trend in a MASSIVE way! )
  14. Yeah, can one of you show me how to use a slide rule? So what are you gonna do for you bday Pilot? Gonna get the fam together for a night around the wireless? Maybe go to the moving pictures Sorry old timers, couldn't resist.
  15. I've noticed too that you have to get reasonably close to enemy aircraft for them to take the bait and attack. For example, my Tomcat wingmen rarely engage with long range AAMs more 40-50 kms from target (sorry you imperial measurement users, but really, you should embrace metric and joint the 21st century!). Or worse still, they'll scream up to target, cross the threshold where it's slightly too close for IRMs, but too far for guns and just sort of... sit there. There's nothing quite as disturbing as seeing a wing of Su-27s or F-23s get mowed down by the tailgunner of a badger... breaks my heart
  16. Happy BDay PCPilot! So it was 50 years ago you were born huh? Refresh my memory, did we have electricity back then?
  17. A-10B's been done. Think it was USAFMTL and his buddies, either way, it's good stuff and it's in the downloads section. Someone was making an F-16XL but I think it got reprioritised and fell by the wayside. Would be good if it gets released but the biggest problem is that demand outstrips the talent. Too many potential models, too few modders This is partly why the Su-27 and F-22 have taken (or been taking) so long to come out. Kaza, where the hell did you get that?! I thought it was real when I first looked at it!
  18. Super Mega happy funtime Easter to everyone! ...Except for you USAFMTL! No Easter shout outs to you! Just kidding, hope y'all rack up a great score of chocky eggs!
  19. I had a similar problem with adding the B-52 to SF and at the time I didn't have either WoV or WoE. I downloaded the B-52G from the CheckSix site (http://www.checksix-fr.com/) and now have the B-52G and H running fine. I dunno how you'll go if you specifically want the D model, but I hope it helps. A warning though, it's in french, but you can get a translated page if you do a google search. Translation's not great though...
  20. That's some serious Porn storage! Just curious Paul, have you found it hard to find the old tabletop cabinets?
  21. Ooh! Very Nice Cap! Gonna have to add one to my HMAS Melbourne!
  22. This is the Dawn of War series, yeah? I got a copy of this from a guy i used to work with and was pleeasantly surprised by it. Not normally into WH40K but I loved how they set up the infantry in it!
  23. That was dropped around 2001 wasn't it? Part of the reasoning was to reduce costs, another part was that LIFT (lead in fighter training) could be performed using an existing (yet customised) airframe.
  24. Jog my memory, was this the first (or one of) fighter to have an ejection seat since pilots bailing out would be diced by the pusher...?
  25. SayethWhaaaa

    Ummm Yeah

    Bloody hell... I think I'll draw the line at ingesting humans. I mean bloody hell...
