Absolutely! Copy your existing folder (ie Su-33) and rename it to whatever you want (ie Su-35). Now your new Su-35 folder will be identical to the Su-33 you've copied it from. Make sure you rename the Su-33.ini to Su-35.ini otherwise it will not show in the aircraft list in-game. I'll give you instructions shortly, but I'm at work at the moment and the instructions are a little tricky and will require the use of a hex editor. If you haven't used one before, never fear, what you'll be using it for will be VERY straight forward. I have noticed one thing about copying and renaming aircraft though. I have about 4 different variants of the Su-27 family with canards in my install, and in after action reports, it displays the file name, not the aircraft name. For example, one of my Su-35s uses the filename "Su-26". In the AAR you'll see "1 Su-26 was damaged" instead of "1 Su-35M was damaged."

The Cold War Crisis TC of C&C Zero Hour has finally been finished and should be available for download on the 28th July. Not sure whether that's flithy northern hemisphere time (), or sexy southern hemi time . But lots of people have been waiting for this one! If you head on over to the CWC site, you should (touch wood) be able to download it when you read this... ...hopefully.

Still, this gave me a good laugh. Props to Talula for getting herself arrested so she could get a name change! http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24076010-23109,00.html

In that case, kick 'em. Then they'll have bite marks on their sphincter. :yes:

He's a senator. I've yet to see a Senator or an MP from anywhere who doesn't give servicemen anything but the most token acknoweldgement. Yet they'll always pledge their undying love and respect for them during speeches and rallies, dropping their favourite buzzwords like 'Courage' and 'Sacrifice' (and f**king 'Spirit of the ANZACs' here which is a buzzword/term that's ALWAYS used out of context) as it's allows them to tap into that sentiment and supporter base. Remember, they only want your support, after that watch how only care about you and your cause if it's going to cost them support. This aspect of politics is one that transcends party lines... yeah, I know it sounds a bit cynical, but I'm having a REAL bad day! That said, the only good coverage of this campaign you'll get is by watching Stewert/Colbert

Okay, I've given the running a little break and the calf muscles feel fine, although I'm having random people put their hands on my belly and ask when I'm due now. No pain when I run/jog short distances, but it's definitely foot related. I've got fallen arches so I'm gonna have to get inserts (plus better running shoes would help). Oddly enough, I've been trying the different surfaces thing already as I live about 10 mins walk from the beach. I've gotta head up to Mt. Lofty (which is about 45mins away in the foothills) and go for a run in the hiking trails. I've heard uneven environments will help as I'll be utilising muscles I wouldn't normally use when running on flat zones.

What about lobbing a beehive at them. You'll need a land based system capable of deploying area denial munitions... Like some kind of home made catapult or mortar.

You know, if you wanna pack some punch, forget the Bee. One sting and it buggers off and dies. Now a Wasp can sting until the cows come home... ...just not on a Sunday.

Yeah, I got a bit of a chuckle out of it! I've noticed that animated gifs don't seem to be animated when uploaded...

Isn't it the only instance of a rolling scissors on film, during the dogfight at the end? I think Ice has something like 5 F-5s on his 6. You see it for a split second... I reckon Ironroad's right about it though. If it gets made, you'll see sh*tty, implausible CG everywhere (because it's "cheap") and paper thin plot. It'll bomb, no pun intended. Look at the films that heavily involve aircraft in the past 5-10 years. The Aviator not withstanding, they all sucked at the box office and were usually pretty weak. I mean Stealth lost something like 60 million and only grossed around 12 million on it's opening weekend. Now I'm curious. When was it anyone here saw a good movie with aircraft? I think I with FC thinking that the Final Countdown was probably the last one I saw...

So...um... Those M-4's using banana clips now, huh?

HAHA!! That's gold!!

Yeah... it does feel a little sacrilegious... :yes:

Finally got my computer back up and running since my crappy video card crapped out on me. I've been able to fix it up a little more: It's easy to see how I've cheated by using Marco's original skin, but I haven't had the time or patience to make one from scratch and it doesn't look too bad... kinda. But this section of the skin under the vert stabilizers is kicking my ass! I can't figure out where it lies at all! Does anyone know whether it's part of the fuselage or the Lefttail/Righttail files?

You gotta be happy with that! I've been watching this unfold all day. Still can't get over that he's been at large for 13 years in the same region...

Like Iron Eagle and the F-16B that can fire 3 wingtip sidewinders... I mean, I knew the Israeli F-16s were different, but...

That snap of the raptor climbing is a great shot! Nice work!

Sweet Corsair!

To the best of my knowledge, the only variant that doesn't use the 2 extra inner wing pylons is the Su-27. Every other variant of the Flanker family (the Su-30 series,33,34,35,35BM/37) uses 12 hardpoints - 2x wingtip, 6x wing, 2x intake and 2x fuselage.

Some US cinemas also added THIS little tidbit before the film too. Lucky bastards! :yes:

Hey! That was the Captain of the TCS Midway from Wing Commander 5!!

Bloody hell gents and lady, 25 posts in and no one's mentioned Trent Reznor?? I'm ashamed of you all!

Still... you gotta admit... it'd be a great scenario for WOI.

You reckon it's in the realm of possibility for the JASDF to rename themselves the "Imperial Japanese Air Force" sometime in the future...?

If given a chance, and if he think's he's got support, I reckon he'll go for it. But right now, he's just sabre rattling. Iran's tricky though. They'll make it coslty for anyone taking action against them. Real costly...
