The Mig-29M2 and the 35 will both have the lastest versions of the the Zhuk or phasotron AESA arrays too. I sincerely doubt the US would share that tech with India. US defence contractors will claim property rights and suggest it'll harm it's business interests. They may produce it for them, but I doubt India will be given a liscense. Remember, India wants a FULL tech transfer here and only Russia has been open to that with them, historically speaking. The US, sorry, not to be US bashing here , but they don't have a great track record on the transfers of technology and the Indians deem this stipulation in the contract to be non-negotiable. I reckon they'll play it safe.

The Pakis have plently to worry about than having the Indians possibly buying some F-16s. Given the level of violence in the country at the moment from the fundamentalists as well as a potential backlash from them after they lost 51 of their 53 seats in the recent election, a President that is grasping onto power and the only replacements having a history shrouded in corruption allegations, F-16s east of the border are going to be the least of their concerns. Besides, I’m willing to bet that India will go with the Mig-29/35 given it’s history with the Russians and that they’d be more compatible with the existing inventory of IAF aircraft (not to mention already having 2 other Mig-29 types inservice).

Damn you all! I'm stuck at work for the next 7 hours, I don't wanna hear how good it is until then!! You buggers did the same thing when COD4 was released!!! :threaten: ps. I'm guessing the shadow problems won't be an issue on a dual core, 2 gig RAM machine...

Sometimes there are double entries for weapon stations, so adding it to them both may cause this problem too. Also, you could change the weight limit on the station so as to only allow the carriage of one pod...

Yeah... don't think that'll happen somehow. It's not like Tasmania...

What is it with you lot wanting Israeli skins on everything?! Next thing I know, I'll be looking for STL Aftermath downloads and I'll see Israeli skins for the Enterprise!!!

Ooh, my apologies. I thought I read in there an implication that it was relative to shoddy construction (a complaint that's been levelled at Mig once before). I must've leapt to that conclusion. My bad! :yes:

Just like it said up there ^^ Ch ch check it out! I wasn't expecting to see this when I got home. But then again, I wasn't expecting to see Heath Ledger had died when I got to work either... So does this mean that with Raul in charge, things may thaw a little between the US and Cuba?

It's a shame to hear that RAC Mig have delivered shoddy copies again to another foreign customer. Not exactly building up a great rep overseas! Interesting fact, when the decision was made to purchse the Mig-29, the chiefs of the Algerian AF were disappointed in the large purchase of Mig-29s and minimal purchase of the Rafale as they'd apparently decided that the way to go was French, but the government opted to go Russian as a means of covering some of their debt.

A couple of interesting articles that showed up on news.com.au Those stinking bloody Seapsprites and SuperDuds jk The new government has described the current defence acquisitions situation as a "nightmare" whilst the shadow defence minister says it's not and that he should be grateful for a quality defence procurement program. The way I see it, if you're paying Aus$100 million + for Seaprite helicopters that are not new builds, but refurbished airframes built in the 60s, you've got problems. These stories come in the wake of statements by the new administration of a complete review of defence procurement procedures after there quite vocal concerns were raised about the lack of suitability for some the ADF’s new toys ranging from the M1 Abrahms tanks to the F/A-18Fs designated to replace our F-111Cs in the long range interdictor/Strike roles. Also, there’s been a lot of talk in defence circles about the previous government’s lack of understanding about the needs of the ADF, about the lack of due process in procurement (cronyism, lack of competitive tenders cited specifically) of military hardware with the previous government’s focus on cost and ‘our relationship’ with the US and it’s defence industry. As though cancelling inappropriate defence contracts would somehow damage our relationship with the US… go figure. Interesting to see that the new government here IS actually reviewing the situation, not just paying lip service. Who’d have thought… Only downside is that this also means that the two flattops for the RAN are also under review. And here I was hoping to see the day when the navy had carriers again…

Damn...

2618? Is that just the ATA version or both?

I found myself with an odd situation when I bought my copy. It came with a 10 day (30?) demo so as to "pass along to a friend" which I think it said on the cover. So buddy of mine borrowed it but the day after he grabbed it from me, his DVD drive went tits up. So knowing it was gonna be a couple of weeks before he could get his new one in and seeing his girlfriend waiting in the wings all ready to subject him to all six seasons of Sex in the City, he started applying nocd fixes to his installed games so as to not be bored out of his mind. When he applied it to the trial disc that came with mine, he found that it wasn't a trial at all, but the full version!! I think it took about a week for the grin to leave his face. He dodged the Sex in the City bullet and scored a new game in one hit! GO YOU LITTLE AUSSIE!!

Actually, that's precisely why he is...

How did you download it?? I can't ever get the download page to work!! 2 years now!!!!!

Hehe, cheers!

You're not wrong, the F-111 for this series is mustard! But if you want that sense of speed at low levels, try zooming out when you're in the cockpit and you'll find the landscape appears to move faster. This might help you to avoid hitting anything with increased time progression...

Yeah, Hard Light's the place to go for FS2 mods. Check out the Wing Commander mod too. Its gold!

Holy crap that's awesome! Go Jimmy! Something that caught my eye was one of the attacker's names. Paul Perry is the name of one of my best mates who I've known since high school!

It's okay, despite being colonial riff raff, we'll forgive you for being a pom. (and because you're a Spad fan!)

Hehe, no Cypress Hill as in "Insane in the Membrane" and "Hits from the Bong", hiphop. She was difinitely going to be at Uni until ten. I asked her mates... Good, didn't think I was bein unreasonable.

Not to be a wet blanket, but my GF turned into a total valentinzilla yesterday!! I organised all the romantic stuff during the day to be delivered to her office (although the lazy driver was about 3 hours late with it!) and was being sweet and romantic for her on this hallmar—I mean valentine’s day (despite the fact that ot's so mushy and sickening! ). Anyways, she was going to be at Uni until about ten pm, so I figured “Sweet, Cypress Hill are playing Radelaide tonight, I’ll head over with a couple of the lads and check hem out. I’ll be home before she is. But noooooo… someone had a huge s**tfit because I was going to see Cypress, even though she can't stand them. Can I gauge some responses from you guys? Was I screwing up or was she being unreasonable??

I know the BGAF also fly these, but they have a different designation for them...

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. My gf goes a bit bunta (apesh..) if I don't shave. I have to deal with flailing arms coming at me and that ain't easy to deal with! It's my buddha given right to grow crap facial hair!! :yes:
