SayethWhaaaa

You know... a bunch of us could make recordings of particular phrases and we could mix and match, hopefully reproducing the variety or different pilot/RIO voices one would normally find. I'll endeavour to keep mine "streuth!", "Bugger!" and "Cobber!" free. ... (Sorry Oz CA members, you don't have to say it but I know I just fostered that sterotype... )

Hey PD, the models are the same, no one's made a specific F-14D model per se, but there at least two different F-14 models AFAIK and the skins may not necessarily be interchangeable. But there can also be the odd texture 'issue' from time to time as with these skins from Dels: I know why this ^^ is happening, just not how, hence, I can't figure out how to stop it other than not using 36 Sqn C-130Hs and C-130J-30s together. Individually they're fine. Where did you get your Tomcat from?

Essentially, it's just a modded gun with a larger (longer, slightly thicker) tracer. I've upped the accuracy so as to prevent any bending of the beam, although technically it should bend over distance, I haven't seen it do so yet. I'll have to shorten the tracer length a bit as the beam appears instantly in front and behind when it's fired. I thinking though, that if I shorten the beam to counter for this, the bending issue will become more pronounced. I recall it being spot on at just under 2kms, I haven't had a chance to stretch it's legs yet.

I think I've figured it out. I got one working, that is to say, looking like a lazy beam. Still have bugs and editing to figure out. I'll post some screenies when I finish stoopid work today! :yes:

Hey... why's there smoke coming out of it?!

F***ing GOLD my friend! I very much love your take on the "What if".

Thales, DCN, Navantia and a host of others could, depending on how fast they agree to a design, could produce a fast, light carrier design of 20k to 30k tonnes displacement within 5 years. If they built to mercantile, not military standards as the HMS Ocean was built, they could do so with maybe a 1-2 year delay... assuming of course, the bureaucracy didn't hinder things. It sucks that India, who has been a solid customer and a large reason behind the renaissance of the Russian (Aeronautical) defence arms industry, is getting treated in this way! I mean how many nations operated the Su-27 Flanker (not including former Soviet satellite states) before India threw Rosboro a bone compared with the number of operators after?? The Su-27, despite being an awesome plane, only gained the opportunity to evolve thanks to the support Rosboro garnered from India and later on China...

Demanding another 1.2 Billion for the Gorshkov?! Jesus titty slapping christ! I'd hate to see how Rosboronexport treats a bad customer! They're outta their tree if they think they can reprice a sealed deal. What utter BS!!

I'm into them all, although, I'm not really a big fan of how they're making them more character driven stories now. I was (am) a massive fan of Ace 4 Distant Thunder (or whatever it's name is over there) and I enjoyed Ace 5, but I just wanted to shoot some of the characters, especially F^&%$*g Pixy in Ace Zero!!! I was kinda hoping they'd have extended the aircraft modifications in Ace Combat X to all of the aircraft, not just the fictional ones, but you can't have everything I guess. I'm looking forward to the new Xbox live Ace mp! I went to pick up my copy today because the cute Jessica Alba looking chick who works at the EB in Adelaide there said it would be in by today, but Nada. Next Wednesday now. And no, I'm not telling porky pies, she really does look like Jessica Alba. I'm willing to bet sales have gone up sharply since she's been there!

That stupid 'Loose Change', 9/11 nutjob conspiracy theorist video claimed in one of their original edits that the plane that hit the Empire State Building in NY in 1946 (or whenever) was a B-52... (it was the B-25 you guys spoke of) Then in a revisionist purge worthy of Joe Stalin himself, they removed the whole reference and never spoke of it again... Hmmmmmm....

I'd have some AGM-65s ready for some payback for a couple of nasty, aggressive Taxi Drives I had to deal with last time I was there... And the Islanders. I can't stander the N.Y. Islanders!

Give the A-Team's Firefox Beta a go. 0-Mach 3 in about 10 seconds. In that thing, you won't need to hide... That's 908kg (2000lb) of GBU-24A/B love that I never got to drop as after I got hit, I couldn't seem to jettison any of my external stores. It it was on the port wing pylon, it would have counter balanced the intact starbord wing. As it was, my A-6 would pull hard to the left. Lesson from this: Fly faster, release at somewhat higher altitude and pack more ECM/CM pods!

Hey morgs, if you have a phtoshop, you can reduce it there and save it as a .jpeg. Then you'd just need to upload it to flickr or photbucket or something and it'll work like a charm...

Am I too late to join...? This was my take on the same thing from last night... too low, combination of a sam hit (maybe AAA too) whilst using napalm to knock out oil tanks, I should have kept my distance! I've got the realism setting to mostly hard settings, yet it was still surprisingly smooth to fly! Landing on the other hand... that presented a few problems. ...although I got her down in one piece. I was pretty happy with that!

If he would just stop being a reactionary d*ck about some things, ie his anti-US stance (Okay, we get that there are elements of the US government/Business that are dubious!), he'd run into fewer and fewer hurdles in the future. But provoking the US in a slanging match is not going to end well for either side! I mean, not everything is bad. Higher education is free and support structures for students are pretty awesome compared to the here where something like 60%+ of university students are living at or below the poverty line. But why does he have to go with the socialist crap again? I mean socialist policies, by their very definition, integrate very easily into democratic societies, but it looks as though he's harking back to the crappy "socialist" style that is essentially just an autocratic rule with the "socialist" label. I mean, controlling the media? That's weak... ...that said, he's very entertaining at UN conferences!

Got it in one. The one of the biggest gripes in this whole situation is that the previous government (possibly even the new administration too) have been selling stealth a panacea, the silver bullet. Where as in our immediate region, specifically the Northern arc and to a lesser extent the asia pacific region, capability is key, not necessarily having the latest of the latest technology. Stealth is going to make no difference if, like was stated before, that the aircraft have to use external stores or if IFR tankers have to be moved much closer to combat. And given the boneheaded idea of replacing long range strike platforms with two types of lighter, less specialised fighter/strike fighters, this problem will be exacerbated by the combination of having to: -Bring the IFR tankers much closer to the strike zones - Keep them there for longer periods - Having escorts for the tankers (which in turn means more tankers to cover the escorts) ...and that's not including having a larger strike package due to the F-35's/Superbug's lower loadout capacity when compared with the Pig. Think about it, that's a lot more risk and requires much investment just so we can have AESA, HMS, AIM-9Xs and a plane whose training programme isn't markedly dissimilar than the existing RAAF Hornet training programme. The government's arguments seem to make sense, but only if you're looking to get rid of the F-35 in favour of the F-111. I think they got their aircraft names mixed up... PS. I like they way they'd referred to the Re-Seal/De-Seal victims FUBAR as "fuel tank issues". That's like referring to the Black Plague as "Health Issues".

What a crock of sh*t. You know why the response took this long to be released? Because Brendon Nelson can only type with two fingers... By privileged access, does that mean we only had to threaten to quit the program and only file for access to the avionic sys-specs (which hadn't necessarily been finalised) in the US Supreme Court and wait three years for access? I'd hate to see how long the other member nations would have had to wait! ^^ This is a great governmental/public service trick that we used to use in ASPI. You take a statement, reword it a few times so each sentence, whilst still meaning the same thing, looks different to the eye. This allows you to get away with repeating yourself again and again and makes the document continue to the next page, thus, looking more comprehensively researched. Ok, ok, I'll get off my soapbox now...

Crap... that means I have to get them from BitTorrent... again!

It's the Mig 1.44, sometimes referred to as the Mig-142 Gab, that's a tastey piece of kit baby!

Well... When a mummy ship and a daddy ship really love each other...

Hehe, toblerone... the only food you can bite into that will simultaneously stab your brain through your nose!

Nah, just attracts the Queenslanders, then you can never get rid of the bastards! Queenslanders are bad for your lawn, all that XXXX (four X).

"LOOK!" "UP THERE IN THE SKY" "IT'S WET-BLANKET MAN!!" (Watch as in a matter of seconds, as I turn from mild mannered SayWhat?! into the buzzkill of the day!) I wouldn't get your hopes up (though it would be a sweet Xmas gift from Marc to all), but given the problems he'd been having with his puter, the news of the new patch and the impending arrival of Wings Over Israel (you were close Goldy ) and not to mention his proximity to all of those sexy Brazillian girlies in his country, I doubt you'll see them before Xmas. I can't blame him really :yes: :yes:

Damn... I was going to say it's the Chronosphere.

That's called my job.
