  1. luckily this one seems to have just taken out windows!
  2. Did you reformat it or are we talking a Windows only restore? - if it was only a windows restore might be worth looking for your old profile folder
  3. Ha cool video Another example from http://www.dote.osd.mil/pub/reports/FY2012/pdf/navy/2012fa18ef.pdf DOT&E reported on APG-79 radar IOT&E in FY07, assessing it as not operationally effective or suitable due to significant deficiencies in tactical performance, reliability, and BIT functionality. In the civilian world though no software gets sold in a finished state - no ones got the time or money to test it properly without going out of business - its far to complex for us humans. The Eurofighter is seemingly no where near getting the avionics its supposed to - still should be used to that - wasnt the Lightning F6 stuck with the same crappy 1960s pulse radar till 86? want to hazard a guess at when the F-35 will be in a working state :)
  4. Taking the piss out of all politicians and making them look like retards (not difficult) has been mainstream TV for about 30 years over here - Spitting Image, The New Statesman, Yes prime Minister to name a few - its called political satire generally.
  5. Pictures have emerged of its first test flight
  6. Not that excited myself - I relegated my MiG-25s to RARE status in SF2E because in the 70s because it makes the game to easy :)
  7. Ha - in an 80s video for the F-16 it has the quote "Disproving the adage that high tech doesn't fly" - Im guessing it got a lot of stick back in the 70s as well. The F-35B should be called the Super Harrier III - its the holy grail of Harriers - M1.5, stealth, 2 times the range, far superior payload, 100 times easy to fly - for the Harrier its an upgrade beyond dreams. Max stores load F-35B = 15,000 lbs AV-8B = 4,630 lbs Internal Fuel F-35B = 2,014 US Gal AV-8B = 1,141 US Gal Max Combat Speed F-35B = M1.5 AV-8B = M0.8
  8. Ha - Hot Shots 1 for me - "Roger That milli vanilli chilli willi" for hollywood Blackadder goes fourth for TV - still funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nezEfrpO-jk
  9. If you mean they fly straight and ignore you they are probably on bingo fuel - the SF2 AI will fly an evasion profile - but then again the SF2 AI is too unrealistic in that it seems to know where you are the whole time - to make it more gamey I guess.
  10. You will find that the limits normally refer to sustained G - and the amount of G specified in design and what its been tested to. Most airframes can take way over the stated limits but for very short periods ( instantaneous G) - ie pull 11Gs for more than 2 seconds and very bad things start to happen - this will vary with airframe - but typical accounts of over G (such as engines coming out of mountings in F-4s) don't bode well. Also taking airframe life time into account a lot of Gs on the F-16Ns didnt do them much good - look how quickly they were pulled out of service and thats with an actual 9G rated frame and a FLCS limiter - only 10 years: http://www.f-16.net/..._article22.html
  11. I think I will let them dream for a bit - things have been tough! The Video has been released of Armadinnerjacket going into space http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=asYuEC6hK_w
  12. Nice one thanks
  13. haha Yes the F414-GE-400 engines are listed in the manual - although the M2.25 is the peak on the chart at 36,000 ft - it should be M1.0 around 11,000ft - still not too bad. Is anything using the EPE engines yet I cant find any ref to them?
  14. You dont say Yeah Ive got a high res picture of that - the Airpseed goes up to 300 - redlines about 260 - no indication given of the units - must be WARP Still with that many radios the pilot (aka dwarf) will at least have something to zip along to music wise - I wonder if they were planning to put the monkey from the space trip in it (if it had survived) Actually - with no HUD present I would assume that the white helmet is in fact the worlds most advanced HMCS - not even a single bulge to show - amazing these guys!
  15. Well if we are comparing the 2 - wonder how fast that flying SAM site is in an intercept profile? According to the FA-18EF manual with 5 x AIM-120s and 2 x AIM-9s and a TFLIR it can reach M1.25 top end The F-14D manual however shows that with 4 x AIM-54, 2 x AIM-7 and 2 x AIM-9 it could get to M1.85 - and could carry more internal fuel - now thats impressive!
  16. Check out this forum for a laugh: http://www.iranmilitaryforum.net/air-forces/'ghaher-313'-newest-iranian-fighter-aircraft-will-be-unveiled-tomorrow/
  17. Straight to video for this one - Tactical Assault http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0127917/ Just painful to watch
  18. There is a video footage of it or something here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-21307208
  19. SF2/E/I = Nov 2011 SF2V + gold = Apr 2012 SF2E + EXP2 + SF2NA = Jul 2012
  20. I will bet that we are gonna see at least this (with vietnam/europe/NA added at some point) SF A SFI A SF iOS SFI iOS SF Win8RT SFI Win8RT The tech support is near non existent with these limited locked down OSs - but If he has to do patches for each OS revision then that's going to take a lot of time. Based on whats been downloaded already - say 500,000 downloads for each of the above = 3 million users in 1 year. Percentage of that would pay at least $1- maybe 30-60% all I can say is that may he will hire someone to finish the terrain engine for the PC version.
  21. Will be interesting to see this one get off the ground - especially with those tiny air intakes. Bets that its an F-5 underneath http://www.businessi...enciotti-2013-2 http://theaviationis...r/#.UQ0wV6e6tfR
  22. Having seen or owning most of them I would go for either Flight Of the Intruder or BAT21 for me. Casualties of War was another I remember........just so many Jarhead reminded me of Platoon and FMJ - didnt quite have the same effect though considering GW1 was no comparison to Vietnam .
  23. Strike Fighters iOS has now been finished and sent to Apple for review - according to the Facebook page
  24. Excellent - are you sure you have enough RAM :) Do you not have any Solid State HDs? - if you put Windows on an SSD your start up time will be about 10 seconds from power on - and all lag will be gone (well locally)
