Hi Corktip - everyone needs a break at times

Is there nothing in the SF2 section? The white parts just mean you are missing files it needs - worth checking to see if there is an old thread with the files required listed

from (Has Video) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11830094 A formation of Harrier jump jets has made its final journey from HMS Ark Royal - the last such flight from a UK aircraft carrier for about 10 years. The four GR9 jets marked the end of an era when they roared off the deck near North Shields, North Tyneside. Both the Ark Royal and the Harriers are being scrapped under cost-saving plans. The Harriers, heading to RAF Cottesmore in Rutland, will be decommissioned in 2011 and replaced by the F35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. The Ark Royal was sailing across the North Sea to Hamburg in Germany. Lt Cdr James Blackmore, who was the last Harrier pilot to leave, said he was immensely proud. 'Emotional moment' "It is amazing. I watched a Harrier hovering over Chatham dockyard when I was eight years old and I am now fortunate enough to be flying the Harrier today," he said. "It's an amazing aircraft, superb to fly and just very enjoyable." HMS Ark Royal is like the girlfriend you hate and you only realise you loved her when she has binned you” PO Andrew Collins The crew of the 22,000-tonne Ark Royal, which has seen active service in the Balkans and 2003 invasion of Iraq, lined the decks to watch the historic departure. Captain Jerry Kyd said there was a tear in his eye when the last Harrier left. "It was an emotional moment and also one of real pride as we look back over 25 years service to Queen and country," he said. "No naval officer wants to see any ship decommissioned early and she is a fine vessel and she has a fine history. "She is at the peak of her efficiency but one understands that very difficult decisions have to be made across government." One senior officer described the decision to scrap both the jets and carrier as "madness". Petty Officer Andrew Collins, 26, from Glasgow, said: "HMS Ark Royal is like the girlfriend you hate and you only realise you loved her when she has binned you." And Petty Officer David Terracciano, 31, from Portsmouth, added he was "gutted". The Ark Royal - the Royal Navy's flagship - will eventually head back to her Portsmouth base on 3 December. It will be replaced by the Queen Elizabeth class of aircraft carrier at the end of the decade, which will carry F35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. A group of former Royal Navy admirals have suggested scrapping the Harrier force and HMS Ark Royal could leave the Falklands open to attack - a claim denied by ministers who insist the UK will still be able to defend the islands. retards

Yeah I wish the best NK could muster was some old MiG-29s in that ! One factor in this is that South Korea has a lot more to lose - like a good economy - NK have pretty much nothing to lose - apart from the knowledge that they can push SK pretty far as we are seeing!

What mods do you have? the more SAMs, AAA firing the more it will hit the FR. If you have Green Hell with lots of trees that will also bring things down. In Linebacker II you get massive strike packages with loads of SAM/AAA - you need a very good rig to run that with high gfx settings. You need to compromise your in-game and card settings until you hit a happy medium for you.

Nice one

Reading the entire manual is not really much help tbh you will just forget whats gone before. Study sections of it as you do training missions - you need to be able to relate the written info to how its done in practical terms. How quick you learn depends on previous experience or how much time you are prepared to put in - but it comes with practise eventually.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry

Happy Birthday Dagger

Air Force officials initially had held out hope that the pilot, Captain Jeffrey Haney, might have ejected from the plane and survived Tuesday night's crash. "Based on evidence recovered from the crash site, and after two days of extensive aerial and ground search efforts, we know that Captain Haney did not eject from the aircraft prior to impact," Colonel Jack McMullen, commander of the Air Force 3rd Wing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, said in a statement. Search teams at the wreckage site, about 100 miles north of Anchorage, found part of Haney's ejection seat and several items the pilot wore during the flight, McMullen said. "Sadly, we can no longer consider this a search and rescue operation but must now focus on recovery operations," he said. Haney was married with two children. He joined the Air Force in 2003 and has been at the Anchorage base for 4 1/2 years. The F-22 took off Tuesday from the joint Air Force and Army base for a training run. The jet and a second F-22 practised "intercepts" and were nearing completion of the exercise when one aircraft disappeared from ground radar tracking and from communications with the other F-22 at 19:40h local Tuesday. An air search had been ongoing, with searchers looking for any sign of a parachute or a fire the pilot might have started had he been able to eject from the plane.

Happy birthday Mr Sundowner :drinks: :drinks:

I went out of my way to see it at the time, because they were in it!! - truly shocking

Yeah - think its down to the pilot training - they have always been the worst opponents. Whereas in single missions the MiG-17Fs and MiG-19s can be very difficult(particularly in SF2). It takes a while sometimes to get used to a certin jet again - I prefer the F-8 in a DF than the F-4/100/101/102/104 though (all settings on Hard btw and red planes removed from map). The Razbam F-102 with AIM-4s only being the ultimate challenge/nightmare - handles alright but I cant see out of the cockpit to keep tally on anything and it seems very slow - tasked to escort a flight of B-57Bs to NV - couldnt catch them - the MiG-17s did though doh!.

Nice shots - thanks for posting

Lets hope that turns out okay

:yes: "DIPUTS ERA EW SEY"

Fave 1. Star Wars IV 2. Back to the Future 3. Rambo I: First Blood So much **** and so little spaces: Unfave 1. Guest House Paridiso - one of the few films I have switched off after 30 mins on viewing 1 2. Wing commander - It was very funny - although wasnt supposed to be 3. Iron Eagle 3 - needless to say I never bothered watching #4

If you have reseated the cards - then type dxdiag into the run prompt and press enter - see if it flags anything up. Does the game run okay on 1 card?

Have you ever had skins on the original objects? When did you buy the game and where did you buy it from?

The flight model and many other things were changed in the 13 patches since the 2005 release based on feedback etc - the manual was never updated - and you will find lots of other advice it gives as rubbish also. 160-190 should be okay - the slower you get be careful not to have the nose too high you will land on the tail.

Yes all too true unfortunately BBC have put up a 1914 to 2010 UK casualty chart http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11743727

I like some of the filmwork in that - some spectacular footage

Brilliant what a great concept - anything that makes this job easier is fantastic

Not a pie fan myself - would probably stick a chocolate cake in a trifle and pur syrup all over it
