SayethWhaaaa

Let us know how you go with this Storm. I'm interested to see how it pans out.

...until they renamed themselves 'lobbyists' and 'special interest groups'.

Here's hoping... These things have a funny way of respawning. Solution: Zombieland Rule #2.

There's a fix for this here: I used to get the same thing and roll right into the drink. This will fix it nicely.

From what I heard on ABC today (a report from the US ABC no less! lol) was that he was navigating this passage at night, not using maps, not using radar, sonar or any other electronic means. He was navigating visually... at night. When the sky is black. On the ocean. Which is also black at night. No night vision goggles. Nothing. Blows me away that someone thinks they could feasibly do that with a cruise ship...

There's been a development... Cruise captain claims he 'fell into lifeboat' Incredible...

The gent from the Coast Guard wasn't taking any crap and he didn't need to do anything to "make him look bad". The Captain really did sound like he was farting about in the middle of a crisis...

Cheetah are easily the best of the Mirage family! Nothing comes close. Nothing!

The TSR2 and the Avro Arrow are two of the great "What ifs". I must admit, I never particularly liked the TSR2 until I saw what Sundowner and the rest of you have been doing with it!

If it hit service first (I think it might have just beaten the Pig in), it may have been the F-111 first.

Gold.

Love it Naz! I had a similar idea a while ago when tinkering around with a Cold War campaign set around a divided Germany in 2008. This was a scheme initially for use as a 60th anniversary of the GDR. Unfortunately, this is the only screencap I have of the Phoenix Splinter scheme.

I just downloaded it then without a problem it would seem. What's the error you're getting?

No, there should be one available for SFP1 in the downloads section. Have a look in he Modern aircraft section.

From what I understand, you won't be able to convert it. It has something to do with the .lods used in the model not being recognised in the first generation of the Strike Fighters series. It can only be used in the SF2 generation of sims.

You just totally reminded me of this UK:

That's my fear too. I don't think I've seen an 'airplane' movie since Battle of Britain that hasn't been screwed by major factual inaccuracies or dodgy CG or something... Still wanna see it though.

Seems to be the standard response to US aircraft tenders these days. One manufacturer wins, the other bitches about it while starting litigation...

Looks outstanding!!

Yes, there is a profanity filter in use here. It doesn't replace text, that would require a manual edit, usually from a moderator. It acts like your standard language filter.

It's the JMSDF FA-27C from Sentou Yousei Yukikaze. It and the Japanese carrier were released as a package as the F/A-27C.

Mako's right. From what I've been hearing, the Iranian general public don't hate the US as much as the Theocracy there would have us believe. Remember, the images we see of the Iranian people foaming at the mouth about the 'evil US' is carefully vetted by the state media machine to make it seem like there's 100% nationalist fervour. I think it would be a big mistake to blur the line between the people and the theocratic dicks who oppress them. These aren't North Koreans with a personality cult. The Ayatollahs have had a bit of a crisis in trying to stem (and failing pretty consistently) the Iranian youth's taste for Western trends, clothing, technology, freedom of speech, etc. Give the Ayatollahs and the government a bloody nose (I'm talking the kind you get when you try to catch a brick with your face!), you'll start seeing popular resistance to theocratic rule as we did in the Arab Spring and that's half the fighting done for you there. You go all shock and awe in Iran and civilians die, it'll end horribly and you won't be facing just Iran in the ME. This goes especially for Israel. They have no friends in the region and if they act unilaterally, a lot of organisations (state sponsored and others) will want a piece of the revenge pie. It'll be bloody for years. And remember, it's further away than the site in Operation Opera, so the chance of success is lower. Besides, if Iran is dumb (and it would be an act of EPIC STUPIDITY!!) enough to attack can of nuclear powered kick ass like a USN carrier in what the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the rest of the world recognises as a free transit zone for shipping, not only will they get their arses comprehensively handed to them by superior US firepower, they'll attract a flood of condemnation and sanctions and it'll probably deliver a free kick to the US to take out that damned nuclear reactor site...

Alls I know was that he was putting out flares like a MF...

When you're 85...
