SayethWhaaaa

Yeah, thought so. That's an ADG (Adgie) here. I think getting my gf to be cool with that is going to be a bit of an issue, but you're absolutely right, it's an important part of serving and the experience will be invaluable. I couldn't imagine joining only to avoid deploying whether it's regulars or reserves. I think she'll come around in the end, she's pretty level headed.

What's an AGR dude? I gotta feeling I know it by a different name like Adgie or something... But in any event, congrats on getting the transfer!

Yeah, it's pretty awful stuff, much worse than the Ash Wednesday Fires that raged across Victoria and South Australia practically encircled my hometown in '83. In Vic, towns like Kinglake and Marysville have for all intents and purposes, been wiped out. At the moment, 26 bushfires are burning through Vic alone and 12 of those are uncontained. The worst thing is that some of these fires are deliberate. Thing is, it's the conditions are perfect for a disastrous fire. We've had El Nino weather patterns (high, dry temps, little or no rain) in the South and South East for the better part of the last few years. It's truly horrible!

That's good to hear Muse! I used to love working in libraries, although, you'll have better reading material than my old one! Take care dude!

You're thinking too much in "real" terms as opposed to the "what ifs" that make this game great. Yeah, in RL, it was an absolute manity to deal with and proof of the "A cow is a racehorse designed by commitee" concept. Now, in the SFP, it's potential as a modern, dedicated shipboard bomber is greatly increased.

Oh, I know violence isn't the answer... see my tag.

Just curious, but does the F-117 have air brakes? I noticed their absence during approach after a sortie and it struck me. Is it just absent from the model, or does the RL aircraft lack them?

That's f***ing awful! I've sorta been wondering about that too. Just going by what I hear on BBC World and from what I hear from my pommy buds, I hear you guys have a real problem with the PC police at the moment right when you need some leadership and effective decision making to stamp out these little wannabe gangsta punks and thugs who seem to be running rampant at the moment. I mean, even today I hear about a story of some tween Sh*theads trying to roast a pair of puppies alive!! PUPPIES!(read it here). Personally, I hope the police get break off their leash and start breaking these little bastards' skulls!

Jeez... do they have to keep making them?? Oh, wait I forgot it's a new year. Time for Battlefield 2009.

...and having that monetary black hole that was the A-12 program, which began to threaten some funding to the Carrier program at one point, didn't help. People complain about the F-111B being a bust, the A-12 was the mother of all busts!

She doesn't trust her car's airbags?? Anyways, I thought Lola Ferrari's were bigger... like basketball sized. That she did that to herself always freaked me out.

I agree, who needs that lardass of a co-pilot anyways! Besides, the Tomcat couldn't return to the deck with 6 Phoenixes...

Say what you will, but the 'B' is a good looking bomber! I could easily visualize this on a carrier deck in the place of an A-3 or A-5...

I was led to believe there'd be punch and pie here (when it was Biohaz). Instead I found LOMAC skins I was after while everyone was raving about some game called Strike Fighters. I rejoined about 2 years later (when I figured out what this Strike Fighters game was) when it was CA and stayed for the witty banter and fart jokes.

I still think that expecting a light bomber airframe to perform ACM like a fast mover is going to be frought with issues unless said light bomber platform resembles the Su-34 or something. Even the Tornado F.3/4 had these issues. Albeit, not to this degree.

Only had a decent chance to have a looksee today. I'm impressed. Dig those G model BUFFs!

Apparently Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes are going to be "Mortal enemies" in the movie. Despite being buddies in Vietnam and SS having his family, the Arashikage clan, adopting SE into their clan and training him as a ninja after SE's family was killed in a car accident. ...what? I used to be a fan.

The A-4T.ini, data.ini and texture set.inis all match, yeah? That is the nation names are all identical?

That Pig's taxiing too. K I'll shut up now. Raven, I dig that Rhino skin!

The thing is, we want you to come here and want to come back! :yes: What's the point of opening forums if you're going to shut down dissent, or pretty much any opiniton that's not compliant with your own. Those people may as well just go and talk at themselves in a mirror. Here, we fans of a stack of stuff but specialise in in the TW games. Everyone who contributes seems to have a lot of fun getting their hands dirty in the guts of these sims, 99% of the community is supportive of each other and encouraging newer members getting into and enjoying this series. We (the community) have a pretty low tolerance of those who come with holier than thou attitudes seeking adulation, and rightly so I believe. We have a good thing going here. Just about every other forum has pockets of helping members in a sea of twat types, but here the opposite holds true. And, yeah, we (the mods and members) get pissy from time to time, but I rarely ever see threads where someone has treated another with a complete lack of respect (I could prolly only count it on one hand personally). And given how we all come from incredibly diverse backgrounds, idelologies, religions, levels of awesomeness, etc, that's a pretty mean accomplishment! Personally, I'll tip my hat to and buy every single one of you for the contibutions you've all made to this series, no matter how small the contribution. ps, Despite what I said about the rounds, don't come calling for the beer! I figure with 20 000+ members and a beer costing somewhere around the AUD $7 mark, I'd be spending AUD $140 000ish on you guys. I mean, I like you all, but not $140k worth.

The thing is, anyone would make a better singer than Joey Fatone.

Dave, how're you gonna keep the troops in line when you've gone and grown a big mangina all of a sudden?? Our enemies, the trolls, will see it as a weakness. A weakness I tells you! I think Whiteknight deserves a round for that nugget of truth! lol

Yeah baby!

Maybe it's a cry for help...
