I'm one of those suckers for movie tracks. My fool-proof way is to listen to the lyrics and type it out in google enclosed with "". However sometimes the song/movie is unpopular, it then becomes quite hard to find.

The project continues! Ironing out some strategic node glitches in campaigns. The time needed for play testing is a black hole. Current result looks satisfactory enough. Probably needs one/two more adjustments still.

A heli carrier can still give ASW a huge buff I reckon. Other than political reasons, proper CVs are way more expensive. Plus USN carrier wings and land based f-15s can fill in for top covered when needed. (just off the top of my head...)

Subsim review http://www.subsim.com/2015/RTWaves.php

There was some artillery back and forth with civilian casualties between the North some days ago. It is like.. maybe the Mediterranean? Real armed conflict doesn't happen but constant tension. A few years ago it was a similar incident. Heard it not through the news but ethnic Korea delivery guy: "The war is on! "

hmmm.. I had been flying 1960+ missile era and indeed mid-air was not a cause for concern, even less when it was mud moving. You just don't need to think about it. Probably missile seeker accidentally locking onto friendlies etc. was more of a problem. I've since then moved onto guns only jet fights and collisions became frequent among the 3 parties: me, wingies, bandits. (It reads a bit funny atm but when it happens it really doesn't...) Not a "daily" occurrence but enough to pay constant attention to.

Sorry. I made my suggestion based on the assumption that it's not a nice thing to run into wingies for anybody. Apparently I'm wrong and I apologize.

Midair with wingmen does happen occasionally... short of turning off "collisions" in options, asking wingies to "spread out formation" might help at times.

Have done a detailed comparison between the 2 in lodviewer (just to know what i bought). YAP one has an additional cockpit seat while the free one at CA has extra damage nodes. The cockpits show differences with a hexeditor compare, but no visual differences except some textures. Plus free one at CA has a LOD2. So it's all about the Essex CV far as I see. If WhiteboySamurai completes the long hull essex someday korea won't rely on this mod. The essex is pretty hi-def and has adequate data for the flak guns etc so not bad. Downside is no low level LODs.

Been lurk reading:) Seems it'd been tough especially with the complete loss of squadron starting roster, but hopefully things are looking better. Pretty nice progression there. SF campaign can be quite engaging and I can read that from the concise but consecutive reports.

The campaign is even more scripted than HW2, so it is mostly like an interactive movie. Modding a cruiser into episode 2/3 though...

Nexus: the Jupiter Incident It is Real Time "Tactics" as there's no resource gathering or base building, but more detailed sub-system modelling and player control compared to Homeworld. The story line is also rather fascinating, not as epic a saga as an entire race's intergalactic quest for home, but focused on the personal adventures of one Marcus Cromwell and his ride, the cruiser AngelWing which was "accidentally" discovered. All in all pretty fun. ++ Open modding!

The collapse of the Soviet Union has resulted in a multitude of problems, as if to some extent former eastern bloc states have been facing an identity crisis, and many have morphed into national/oligarchy capitalism. Like you said nothing is black and white, even in the western world I've had some European friends consider the US the most "capitalist" while the rest is mild comparatively. But while one cannot just do a copy-paste of any existing system, some fundamentals are key, such as rule of law, proper regulations, free press and free speech, to prevent mass abuse of power (from the 1%) and maintain upward mobility. Just like in any organization, the flatter it is the better, but revolutionary changes don't happen overnight. It'll likely take a few life times. It is so good of you to think of the children, I think it is imperative to guide them into better human beings. I have a distant memory, in junior high school a straight-A student wrote an essay that quoted an old saying, "If one doesn't taste the bitterness of bitterness, one will not be the man above men." The saying was considered to promote hard work in the old days, but he was later called into the classmaster's office and they had a talk. I did not understand why at the time，but I do now and am grateful for our classmaster.

The Russian "Dukes" of extreme wealth, likely the 1%, are opportunists risen from the ashes of the old system, likely resembling the autocrats. The reins were tightened since Putin and likely created the ruling oligarchs all over again -- while I believe a basic institution principle is important, it surely has been confusing for Russia over the past 25 years Therefore I have to say, that yes, doesn't matter if it's democracy or communism. The real matter is people's minds, behaviors, habits, and others accumulating to the huge inertia of a highly hierarchical social structure. The monster doesn't stop overnight.

Could it be "In Time" ;) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637688/ I think the problem has only gotten worse after the 2008 financial crisis since which the democratic world is in decline (Greek debt like being one of the secondary effects). And it is inevitably more profound in (formerly) authoritarian/totalitarian societies. My personal take on this, or the question that really matters: What should I do. That is one worth pondering, and I reckon each will have his own personal answer. I believe in what Gandhi said: "whatever you do will be insignificant, but it's important that you do it".

You're talking about inequality. But I believe there'll always be classes, even in your Stalin/Soviet era there's the large group of ruling oligarchs the system created, There isn't an existing social structure that can eliminate inequality so far. But that is fine, as long as there is upward mobility, as in creativity and hard work warranting success for the average guy is believed to be achievable. But when chances of moving up the social ladder becomes minimal, unrest within the working/under class would then follow. Fundamentally... it is a problem of hope. IMHO.

Much like in aviation the A version of anything would always have more problems. But it's shiny new. So there's a tradeoff there I reckon:p

RIP

My understanding is simple.. in the 'nam era, and especially for phantoms: Go Navy, Beat Air Force.

Dynamic Campaign YYYESS!!.....

ah I fixed this on the B-29 for Korea, the cause was remaining ordnance. If there're still bombs on board past the target point, the aircraft will keep flying on forever. It helps by checking the loadout file and make sure only 1 type of bomb is loaded for and make sure the plane can drop them all in one pass. Also I remember eburger68 mentioned something about RWR in play and affect escorted flight's course... when aircrafts do get electric gizmos onboard that is!

Got a timeout on the download center. But the DLs on update page are still functional. Although wouldn't be surprised if TK stops putting em up one day so.. local storage rules I reckon. /rant/ Just came to me as funny that flight sim capitalism is centered on Russia nowadayz. Western sims are practiced with free modding all around. :p /rant/

Same here, in short target area jumped.

ehehe thanks Baffmeister:) It's always been a document of sorts, like Do335 what have you been doing for entertainment in 2014? They can help me remember plus I think many times screenshots alone is not enough... But yeah when looking at early 2012/13 videos it's nice to see how the refinements have progressed. Will make more for sure some day later!

Cool:) Likely my "making videos" phase has passed. All yours Shrikehawk!
