Kids today hey! - kids are no different than they have always been IMO - there have always been parents without morals, social misfits etc - thats never gonna change - just prey your not on the receiving end tis all. The environment they grow up in is a determining factor - every one is born with a clean slate - Most Films and computer games are unrealistic fantasy in every way - so if kids are not exposed to reality then they may be deluded by it - could by why that when I was in my teens I seemed to think I knew everything but actually knew sweet FA - didnt go on a rampage though - was probably subdued by too much TV - and my role in society - which was buying things I didnt need GTA has no morals - thats plain to see - who knows if games really influence people - I used to think lyrics in pop songs meant something - (as oposed to them being written down in 3 mins by a drunk tw@) so maybe - and if they really were influenced by GTA etc then society has to put up with it.

Jeez - Does that B-52 have its own hangar? where would you keep one of those? The F-22 is great - like the way he takes off like the real thing does at airshows - albeit on rough ground! Its a shame when these come down - pretty difficult to control - and you wouldnt think a Jet powered RC F-4 would be a great idea would you :beta1: Least when my PC crashes it only takes a day to rebuild it :)

There are only F-16 pits for AF Aeyes did the original 2D/3D - but has recently released Widescreen payware versions Zerks released a free 3D pit http://zerk.110mb.com/ then there are the Stopworks pits http://www.stopworks.us/

You need to run it in Win 98 compatibility mode - right click on the exe - Compatibility tab (for WinXP) - see the knowledge base there must be loads about it there. Any other problems you may have the wrong version - but i dont know what game you have. The gun editor works on all versions anyway i think

The F-111 carries Sidewinders doesnt it :close_tema:

have just tried downloading from http://www.column5.us/miragef.shtml - but my AV software screams blue murder and tells me its "Adware.win32.eshopper.p" as soon as I save it to the desktop. It may be okay - but because its coming down as an .exe - it may just be a false positve - though best if C5 checks it out I reakon

Happy Birthday to ya!

Yep taking an interest in the Nam air war certainly gives WOV that immersive factor that wouldnt be there otherwise - More I read the more I mod it I suppose - even 4 years later I havnt even began to cover some of the aircraft used in it in that much detail - the EB-66C/Es spend 99% of their time as AI recon or transport craft for example.

Now that looks like the type of thing that would appear in a Dale Brown fantasy!

Not bad actually!

How many rivets did the blue triangle carrier have on it though - that what I want to know

amazing work here as usual - am looking forward to the D version myself

"Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!"

Have seen plenty of Navy F-16 camo schemes over the years - but I only saw this F-15 one a few months back

You need to install the skin pack installer from the gamers tools for the skins - and I think there is a mod pack installer too - However they both come with good instructions in pdfs so just follow them. (Download the skins you want (.skn files) to a single folder IMO) You really need to get the Terrain HiTiles for AF if you can - so worth it http://www.hitiles.com/indexF4AF.htm If you want a 3D pit upgrade then Zerk has done a free pit - see some old threads below

Not unless he can reach over to the other side I guess

The bbc have an article on that today - its made of Carbon Fibre which reduces its weight a lot apparently

One problem is that if you have to go guns on a large flight - you don't always have the time to take out enough of them by setting up proper attacks - so its easy to get shot down panicking because you are trying to rush things! The AI wingmen are hopeless - they attack straight from behind - with the normal results!

My moneys on Spain - probably because Im a Liverpool fan - and the fact that they actually play good football. They will be against a German team that play a solid and well organised system - but dont have players that are anywhere near what they used to be IMO and have been riding their luck so far.

Even the IL-28 is lethal if you approach from behind it with guns only - you need to fly level to one side of it then turn into its side (easier with a trackir) or attack from the front. TU-16s are a nightmare - so its usually a mixture of things including diving down or climbing from below them at high speed!

Think 24 posts classifies you as being a newbie still :beta1: Good old days! - I dont think so - the dark ages more like - its alright being nostagic but I really dont want to go back to things like that ever!!

Here are some shots from Allied Force in 1280x1024 on a GeForce7600 - You must remember that AFAIK the game uses a slightly enhanced version of the original Falcon 4 graphics engine from 1998 If you have seen better graphics than these then you have been looking at shots from Red Viper I imagine

If you are talking about AF screenshots - To improve the ground Most people use Hitiles which is a payware add on - basically a high resolution with 4 different seasons for Korea and the Balkans - well worth it The graphics on the planes/weapons themselves can be improved by changing the skins - for F-16 skins try Redbirds (from the gamers tools) or from Janhas- you need to get the skin pack installer - also at gamers tools. Not many of the other jets have been done - if you look in the downloads section here there are some for some of the jets that have missing skins. There is a free 3d pit from zerk to replace the stock one If you already have these - then you may need to change the Anti Aliasing /Anis Filtering etc settings on your graphics card in the advanced settings. The best resolution for AF is probably around 1600x1200 - but most people probably dont have a monitor to support that.
