Footballer Ricardo Ferreira handed 50-year ban after referee attack A Switzerland-based amateur footballer has been banned for 50 years after kicking a ball in the referee's face and spraying him with water. Portugal Futebol Clube defender Ricardo Ferreira has already served a 45-game ban for assaulting opposition players. "I had expected one or two years maximum. But 50 years? Football's my life," Ferreira, 28, said. The fourth-tier league's lawyer Robert Breiter said: "We do not want such a player in our league." Speaking to Swiss newspaper Blick (in German), Breiter continued: "Unfortunately we encounter such cases about once a year." Ferreira had been an unused substitute in his team's match against SC Worb in the Bern league when he attacked the referee after the final whistle. Ferreira will be free to return to footballing activity on 5 June 2064, by which time he will be 78. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29862380

Best Answer was from BlueCaneCorso. There were a lot of entries for this one - so it has taken a while for us to sort through them!

Crikey yeah a Hunter being used in that type of exercise! RIP to the pilot

DCS World 1.2.11 and DCS World 2 The team has been working very hard with long hours on DCS World 2, including performance improvements, visual effects, updated GUI, and a lot of debugging. However, it may not be ready in time to launch several new projects in November and December: Su-27 for DCS World, DCS: Bf 109 K-4 Kurfürst, DCS: L39 Albatros, DCS: MiG-15bis and Hawk for DCS World. Yes, lots of new modules coming soon! As such, we will release 1.2.11 to support these releases. In addition to supporting the release of these new modules, 1.2.11 will also include several bug fixes. DCS: Europe 1944 Most of the work on this front is currently focused on the Fw 190 D-9 and the Bf 109 K-4. In the next DCS World release (1.2.11), the Fw 190 D-9 will receive a campaign and additional fixes. At that point, the Dora will officially be out of beta. As for the Bf 109 K-4, a lot of work has gone into fleshing out the cockpit system, tuning the flight dynamics and creating skins for it. We are still shooting to make the beta available to pre-purchasers in November 2014. After the Bf 109 K-4 goes into open beta, more of our World War II staff will be moved on to the Spitfire. DCS: MiG-15bis The MiG-15bis has been moving at a very fast pace and the flight model and cockpit systems are already in an advanced state. DCS: MiG-15bis is on track to be released in mid-December 2014. If you have not already done so, you may wish to take a look at DCS: F-86F Sabre in preparation! Su-27 for DCS World This update to the aircraft that started it all for Eagle Dynamics is also nearing completion. Although initially planned to just include a 6 DOF cockpit and Professional Flight Model (PFM), the team has also now added a greatly updated and much more realistic Heads Down Display (HDD) that includes both the HUD repeater and Tactical Display (navigation and datalink). The Flanker is on final for a November 15th landing. DCS: L-39 Albatros and DCS: F/A-18C Hornet Work continues on the L-39 and we are shooting to make the pre-purchase available in November and the beta available in late December. Work also continues on the Hornet, but there is no new news to pass along at this time. New DCS Maps Both the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) and Strait of Hormuz maps are making great progress. In fact, the NTTR map has been successfully integrated into DCS World 2 and is now undergoing extensive work to iron out issues. We hope to release the NTTR map in late December. This will be a free map to those that purchased the DCS: A-10C Warthog while it was in beta. The images of this newsletter come from a very early, first pass of the NTTR map in DCS World 2. Please note that these are very much work in progress. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132908

Hawk T-1A for DCS World The Hawk first entered service with the RAF in 1976, both as an advanced flying-training aircraft and a weapons-training aircraft. The Hawk T1 version is currently used at RAF Valley for fast-jet pilot advanced flying training with No 208® Squadron, and at RAF Scampton by the RAF Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows. The T1A is used for weapons and tactical training on No 19® Squadron at RAF Valley, and by No 100 Squadron at RAF Leeming for advanced fast-jet weapons systems officer training and operational support- flying. In its weapons and tactical training role the Hawk is used to teach air combat, air-to-air firing, air-to-ground firing and low-flying techniques and operational procedures. While the Hawk T1 is used solely in the advanced flying-training role, the Hawk T1A is equipped to an operational standard and is capable of undertaking a number of war roles. The T1A has four under-wing pylons cleared to carry Sidewinder AIM-9L air-to-air missiles, rocket pods, practice bombs and bombs, and can carry a 30mm Aden cannon in a pod underneath the fuselage centre-line. The cannon can be fired at the same time as any of the pylon-mounted weapons are selected for release or firing. VEAO Simulations in cooperation with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics are pleased to announce that DCS: Hawk T1A is available for pre-sell. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/

Whats that about - advertising the store? Any famous people in it.

maybe.... http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/7/5591894/new-battlestar-galactica-movie-will-be-a-reboot

The latest F-15C has this Professional Flight Model (PFM), developed in cooperation with F-15 pilots So assuming you are flying the latest patches either you have a joystick or control problem - or reality is a disappointment

Not sure who funded the design and development of the A-4 - whether MD got money back from the tax payers for it or what. Legally it is possible MD still own the rights to parts of it - although what parts (shape?) that actually is............. MD may feel they can make money out of it perhaps - but it does seem a tad pathetic when it is also more advertising.

On Oct. 17, the Hellenic Air Force organized a ceremony to celebrate the retirement of the last A-7 Corsair flying with 116 Combat Wing (116 PM) jets at Araxos airbase after 39 years of active service. http://theaviationist.com/2014/10/27/haf-retirement-a-7/

Seems quite pro to me I thought you did this stuff continuously?

Yes DX10 is backwards compatible from DX11 in Win 7 without doing anything Is DX10 properly implemented in Win 10 Test version? - no idea - but if it aint running then its not looking good. I have yet to see anything definite on DX10/11 support in Windows 10. Files look to be there Win7 x64 Win10 x32 Dev prev

That pit looks a lot better than the one in the A-10C for sure! I think that's about the best we are prepared to give Afghanistan (Assume NATO is picking up the bill?)

Thud Ridge is amazing - great guy. He also contributed to Ospreys "F-105 Units in combat" and the latest F-105 MiG Killers book!

Can finally recreate Jurassic Park 2

What i mean by running as admin as you either right click on the exe and run as admin or set up the shortcut to do it. SF2 needs either DX10 or DX9 to work. DX11 is already part of Win 10 test version (not sure if it still supports DX10 though??) DX12 will be part of the real Windows 10 when released I wouldn't advise relying on Windows dev preview for anything stable - its an unfinished bodge. No I run Win 7 but have different OS s in VMs for testing etc- but they cant access the graphics card so cant run intensive games outside of angry birds at the mo.

You are not running a test version of Windows 10 as a main OS are you? (or is it a VM) The final version of Win 10 is supposed to have DX12 - the dev preview still has DX11 - though whethere DX10 is supported still - well. The Xbox will use the same OS and everything else - although not sure if DX10 is still supported without some more digging. Have you installed the DX9 runtimes to see if it runs under that? Also try running as admin.

At a guess it needs tweaks similar to 7 - I haven't tried it on 10 yet Patch it to 2008 Have you installed the DX9 runtimes? Is this just to run multiplayer?

Installed it a few weeks back - and have put Angry Birds Star Wars on it naturally. Other than that I like some of the features considering I have avoided Win 8 - not so sure on the log onto the Microsoft domain by default deal. Also downloaded a free MS translation app - that said if I had the audacity to translate an image it would be sent to Microsoft!! - guess nothing is free in commercial world anymore.

Did wander if the flags would get hit at some point The first bomb seems very close to it

About time too!

No idea that designation existed - and it looks like it flew operational raids - well on wiki.
