Got as many as you - too long ago! Spent many a year playing this on the Geetar...........

They show two extremely rare privately owned aircraft: the sole flying examples in the world of a Sea Vixen FAW2 (G-CVIX/XP924) flown by Simon Hargreaves out of RNAS Yeovilton and Seafire Mk.XVII (SX336/G-KASX), flown by John Beattie. http://theaviationist.com/2015/08/13/sea-vixen-seafire-air-to-air/

Devblog here: http://devblog.sim155.com/ In hard difficulty level, when you attempt a vertical landing on a pitching, crowded deck, managing your throttle, nozzle position whilst monitoring the windvane you get an idea of just how skilled real life Harrier pilots are. It's tough but that's the point isn't it? Playing with TrackIR or a VR headset should help in this mode so I'll post on this once those features are added.

Have done a new install of 10 - everything appears to work as on 7 so far - touch wood! Was really looking for any performance improvements.

The British Royal Air Force (RAF) and Indian Air Force (IAF) have hailed the success of a major exercise which saw the deployment of four Sukhoi Su-30MKI ‘Flankers’ to the U.K. to fly with and fight against the RAF’s Eurofighter Typhoon. Exercise Indradhanush IV (Hindi: Rainbow) concluded on July 30 following intensive flying operations with RAF Typhoon squadrons from RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire. Ten IAF crews including 15 pilots and five weapon systems operators flew twice daily missions, often flying all four Su-30s on air-to-air training missions flying beyond visual range (BVR) and within visual range (WVR) engagements with the Typhoon. This is the fourth iteration of the exercise, with the British and Indians taking it in turns to visit each other's shores. The last time the Indians deployed to the U.K. was in 2007. The Su-30s came from 2 Sqn – the Winged Arrows – based at Tezpur near India’s frontier with China. The Flanker pilots were also able to use their thrust-vectoring control (TVC) “super-maneuverability” capability activated by flipping a switch in the cockpit. One pilot told Aviation Week that they had used the yaw capability of the TVC to remain inside the tight turn radius of the Typhoon in order to keep the Typhoon in missile launch parameters. It was not possible to assess which aircraft, if any, had the upper hand in air combat, pilots and commanders remained tight lipped on the results of any dogfighting. RAF Wg. Cmdr. Chris Moon, commanding officer of 3 (Fighter) Sqn which led the exercise said that participants had adopted a “crawl, walk, run approach” with Indian crews familiarizing themselves with U.K. airspace regulations before taking on the Typhoons in 1vs1, 2vs1 and increasingly complex engagements. The last exercise mission saw all four Flankers working with six Typhoons to escort and support two C-130J Hercules on a paradropping mission. They were opposed by 8-10 red-air Typhoons. The exercise also saw the use of an Indian C-17 and an Il-78 tanker aircraft. The Il-78 operated alongside an RAF A330 Voyager tanker over the North Sea. While the Su-30s could have refueled from the Voyager, they were not cleared to, as a result fighters refueled from their national assets. At least two RAF pilots got to fly in the back seat of the Su-30 during exchange sorties on July 30. All Indian aircraft left the U.K. on July 31. http://aviationweek.com/blog/exercise-indradhanush-flankers-and-typhoons-battle-british-skies?NL=AW-05&Issue=AW-05_20150803_AW-05_494&sfvc4enews=42&cl=article_2&utm_rid=CPEN1000001360373&utm_campaign=3344&utm_medium=email&elq2=b225b3ec70e541dd92c6bef6ba06f0b6

Do you have multiple installs and does this happen to all of them? If not first thing to try would be to cut and paste your mod folder out (somewhere Safe) and run the game as stock - if it still persists then looking at graphics drivers, window/PSU etc etc

Brought to you by Sim155 Ltd, Combat Air Patrol 2 (CAP2) is a flight and naval combat simulator game for PC (Steam/Windows) where you pilot the AV-8B Harrier II. The trailer above is in-game footage. The AV-8B Harrier II is a battle proven powerhouse of the US air force. With its history, iconic look and it’s ability to hover and land vertically it requires no explanation as to why it has become a widely used military aircraft and trusted by scores of highly trained pilots. Here is your chance to become one of those pilots! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1413102387/combat-air-patrol-2 Might be worth getting some more info on this before deciding to back.

Paul has worked in the systems biology field and software development in Silicon Valley, while Nils has worked on Battlefield 3 (EA DICE), the Little Big Planet franchise and The Perils of Man. They outsource a lot of content like additional artwork, effects and the soundtrack. The artist Przemek who did most of the effects and the various event images has worked in the Strike Fighters mod community where he is well known for his terrain mods and cockpits. Well done Stary and congrats - good to see you getting to show your skills in a game like that.

Not sure what you mean by Drops off exactly? Are you meaning your radar lock is being broken by jamming etc? what Aircraft ?

RIP sir.

Have ordered another SSD and have downloaded the iso - so will be testing bits over the next few weeks. Suspect I might have to get a different version of office :(

Has video http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-33690446 Investigators say a Virgin Galactic spaceship crash was caused by structural failure after the co-pilot unlocked a braking system early. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says resulting aerodynamic forces caused the brakes to actually be deployed, tearing apart the craft. The NTSB has been probing what caused the craft to break up over the Mojave Desert in a test flight 10 months ago. The accident killed co-pilot Michael Alsbury and badly injured the pilot. 'Human factors' The Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo space tourism craft was flying a manned test last October when it experienced what the company described at the time as "a serious anomaly". It had been undergoing a powered test flight over the desert north of Los Angeles. Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson said after the disaster that he was "shocked and saddened" by the "tragic loss". NTSB chairman Christopher Hart said on Tuesday that he hoped the investigation would prevent a similar accident recurring, adding that the safety board had learned "with a high degree of certainty the events that resulted in the break-up". "Many of the safety issues that we will hear about today arose not from the novelty of a space launch test flight, but from human factors that were already known elsewhere in transportation," he added. Both pilots were employed by Scaled Composites, the company that designed the craft.
