What! You havnt seen Hondas Asimo: Seriously dont think I will seeing anything like I Robot in my time tbh

Tactical Assault lol http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0127917/

Cant believe they let it fly low over the actual carrier - no point in intercepting it if thats true

That will be the F-16A Block 20 then: http://www.f-16.net/gallery_item44716.html Can do a basic skin like the above if there isnt one about already - It would go on the Mirage Factory Block 15 OCU model.

Lol - some cool Pics there too!

Buy a pair

RIP - that guy made Jaws!

Hopefully 1960/70s avionics, weapons and tactics - which would make it different (i think) but maybe again not popular. Trouble with Study sims is the time to learn and actually play the darn things - never had the patience or time to play them properly when I was younger myself - and we are talkin Falcon 1 which wasnt much different to SF in many ways detail wise (press E to switch the engine on/off) - so the main market would surely be 22+ ? I havnt played Lockon myself yet - but was assuming its mainly Modern warfare related? 5000 would be some target - though 500 paying $500 (£250) as a development investment - and a possible share of profits - (if there were any ) I would probably put that up - though would like to know who these trustworthy people are C5 keeps harking on about.

For any Battle Of Britain fans it may be worth getting a Series called "Piece Of Cake" (also based on a book )which i managed to get on DVD. Covers the battle of France leading up to the turning point of the BoB. There are tons of flying sequences and Spitfire shots in it and its a great drama - if not fully exact to life in the RAF at that time (apparently).

Thats another DVD I had to get - remember it from being on TV when I was a kid!

Anyone seen "By Dawns Early Light" - bit of a TV movie but has some stars in it and considering the budget they were on is amazing! Its based on a book about a terrorist cell firing an ICBM at Russia - and WW3 breaking out - but theres a great sub plot with a B-52 crew!

lol "Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up amphetamines" I think I take after Ted Striker in some ways - certainly leading my flight over "Macho Grande" (or whatever) happens all too often in WOV Dont have his drinking problem though

Its not bad if you can get past the super intelligent homing SAMs that the Chav in a tracksuit got hold of, the coloured Marine who just overacts soooo much! (U know the one), and the final sequence where the bad guys have either A: just come off the "A-Team" set - B: forgot to load any live ammo

Grrr - every bloody film is called Gay these days - some bloke takes his top off and thats it - Gay! - or in fact any film with a young bloke - has got a "Gay" following. I am really gonna have to punch the next person that calls a film gay for no reason Anyway - I cant really have a fave film now - might typecast myself

From what I can find in text the FAA only had the AD-4W (AEW MK1) from 1951 to 1960 - that was replaced by the even uglier Fairey Gannet (AEW MK3). The FAA had too many different planes to chose from in the 50's - and I suppose the Sea Fury and Seafire carried out similar roles to the A1 during the Korean War. Looks like France got some AD-4N (AD-4NAs) and used them in the Algerian War (1955-1962)

That SA-19s looking a bit lethal! even took at shot at you sir

I can relate to that in a way - The fact that I live in a different country and wasnt even born makes it even more weird - but I suppose many Americans may see the Falklands or the Battle of Britain in a similar way. It was an old sim called Flight of the Intruder that got me - mainly because the manual itself was full of stories and reasons to why it went like it did - either way it got me hooked on the subject - its amazing that something with such hopeless graphics could capture an imagination like that - and it helped that the F-4 was still in RAF service at the time to a degree. I dont think that having an interest is glorifying anything tbh - everyone knows the score - but you just gotta respect the Jets and the bravery/skill of the pilots - and yes despite the horrors of war you still want to place yourself in their position and see if you have got what it takes! (for some reason)

okay chill out the post was about some stupid typo on the BBC web page - hence the stupidity of the following posts - I apologise if anyone has taken this out of context and misread it as anything else!

I would support such a thing - problem is where do you take it and how far do you go. The engine is already there if its use can be secured and its pretty bullet proof at the mo - even in its current form a lot can be altered/added without affecting the stability. A study sim (as proposed) for 1 or 2 aircraft only - would mean that a lot of people may have to support development of a plane they dont care about - and may lead to conflict later on IMO. I personally would support any chosen plane - though I think it has to be chosen with care. There is a reason why Falcon 4.0 only really looks at 1 aircraft in detail. Do you go for a populist approach and make a futuristic trendy F-22 sim to appeal to the masses (which would never be that realistic!)- or do you stick to the games Vietnam era roots? Then there is the time line and location of the Sim. Say the F-4 was modelled closely - what versions would be looked at and what avionics/weapons would they be able to use. The great thing about the F-4 is that Carrier ops can be simulated too - however would we still wanting to be coming into land on the empty default carrier with no deck activity? Also the Campaign in this game would need some severe revamping - quite a task - unless the game was restricted to hundreds of single missions disguised as a running campaign (where deck activity can be moddelled already to some degree) Would you want A-A refuelling and can they incorporate a tanker with an animated boom? Am kind of rambling on about some YAP / Flight of the Intruder hybrid now - but I guess thats 1 possibilty - with the F-4 and A-6 needing revamped cockpits, and the ability to change Mil settings for Dive bombing (free fall/retarded), Dive Toss, and DIANE. Bottom line is we already have a series where anyone can fly any plane and have loads of fun - and a modern study sim probably wont surpass Falcon (or its predessesor). I would suggest if its to be detailed then stick to the 1960-1980 time frame which hasnt been covered to any degree (probably a reason 4 this ). If you go for realistic it will really limit the planes featured - and if we went for say an F-14 you would need a bomber in there to supplement it (say an F-4). I need to lay down :close_tema:

Hello A specific 1 Vs 1 mission - with only 2 planes in the sky? One way is to alter one of the existing custom missions: To manually edit Single missions go to the "Missions" folder i.e "C:\StrikeFighters\Missions" and open up one of the .msn (ie F-4_Vs_Mig17_1v1.msn) files in Notepad. You can then make a COPY of this and alter the planes taking part. Save the file as a .msn when you have finished When you start the game select the "Load Mission" tab when in the "Single Mission" section This assumes there is a mission like this in SFP1 by default (cant remember as I only have WOV/WOE installed now) hope this is readable your end! Surely its more fun dogfighting lots of different Planes at the same time though :dirol: ps Assume Kreelins editor does this also?

That article is dated 12 Dec 2005 There is a bit about it on here near the bottom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Singapore_Air_Force Any ideas why they were chosen over the Rafale then?

You dont say How many have they got left after sending 60 after the bears - and another 779 to look out for Russian patrols? well according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Air_Force () about 2x 747s - see I was almost right !!

LOL - have they got that many jets - they may have to retrofit some Cessnas and 747s to make up the numbers Perhaps they havn't seen a TU-95 before - or they are just massive fans

Saw this news report today and made me laugh - it mentions that Japan scrambled 22 Jets to intercept a Russian "Bear". I think this may be a typo (or just complete BS) - or do you think that they wanted to outdo the rest of the world by getting a photo with 21 jets flying alongside a tu-95 from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7236241.stm Japan accuses Russia of incursion Japan has accused Russia of violating its airspace over the Pacific Izu islands and demanded an explanation. A Russian Tupolev 95 bomber flew for about three minutes over the isle of Sofugan, 650km (400 miles) south of Tokyo, Japanese officials said. Japan responded by scrambling 22 jets and lodging an official protest with the Russian embassy. But a spokesman for the Russian air force denied any incursion into Japanese airspace had occurred. Alexander Drobyshevsky told Russia's Itar-Tass news agency that strategic bomber flights had been "carried out in strict accordance with international rules on flying over neutral waters, without violating the border between the two countries". Rally Russia last violated Japan's airspace in January 2006 near Rebun Island near the northern island of Hokkaido, Japanese officials said. On Thursday, Japan held an annual rally to demand the return of four disputed islands - known as the Kurils in Russia and the Northern Territories in Japan - which Russia seized in the closing days of World War II. The dispute has prevented the two countries from signing a peace treaty to formally end the war. It was not clear whether Saturday's flyby was related to the rally. Despite their territorial disputes, Japan and Russia have recently indicated their desire to improve relations, the BBC's Chris Hogg reports from Tokyo. Russia wants Japanese financial support for development of its far eastern regions while Japan wants greater access to Russia's oil reserves. Whether the alleged incident was a mistake or something more sinister, such as an attempt to test Japan's defensive tactics, it has rattled the Japanese government, our correspondent says. Tokyo has demanded a full explanation from Moscow.

They perhaps were never finished - though someone else who has this campaign would have to verify this. Check the downloads to see if there are any updates to the campaign or any separate downloads for the maps elsewhere.
