  1. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35861444 The name of a new polar research vessel will be chosen by a panel of experts, even if the public overwhelmingly votes to call it Boaty McBoatface. Lord West, ex-First Sea Lord, said he was rather proud "silly names" had been suggested but hoped none were chosen. The Natural Environment Research Council had urged people to name its ship in a competition, which saw Boaty McBoatface easily topping the poll. The final name will be selected by the NERC, according to competition rules. Boaty McBoatface is currently leading with more than 27,000 votes, while the second place pick trails with around 3,000. The names Pingu, Usain Boat and It's Bloody Cold Here have also been put forward.
  2. Do you mean the DH Vampire? Totally unaware of the Beverly have to say and interesting we have ended up with pretty much a twin engine F-16.
  3. Very good IMO........even the basic Su-25 is a good challenge.
  4. If you want something done slowly, expensively and possibly very well, you go to the British. While Britain created the immortal Spitfire, Lancaster and Edgley Optica, it also created a wealth of dangerous, disgraceful and diabolical designs. These are just ten plucked from a shortlist of thirty. In defining ‘worst’- we’ve looked for one, or a combination, of the following: design flaws, conceptual mistakes, being extremely dangerous, being unpleasant to fly, or obsolete at the point of service entry (and the type must have entered service). Grab a cup of tea, and prepare for ire as you read about ten machines they wanted your dad, grandad or great granddad to fly to war. http://hushkit.net/2016/03/02/the-ten-worst-british-military-aircraft/
  5. Warning: Many old jets and mannequins were harmed during the making of this film
  6. Could be monitor or Graphics driver related. Can you do a DXdiag?
  7. No - that's all I'm saying
  8. The English Electric Lightning was the most exciting jet fighter ever created. When it entered service, in 1959, it was the most formidable fighter in the world. For twenty nine years it thundered over British skies as a brutish deterrent to would-be attackers. Ian Black flew this over-powered monster for the Royal Air Force in the final years of the Cold War. Here he shares the secrets of flying and fighting in Britain’s final jet fighter................ http://hushkit.net/2015/11/18/flying-and-fighting-in-the-lightning/
  9. Saw this yesterday. Great SciFi mystery / chiller with very good work by John Goodman

  14. Some highlights from the old Red Flag Imax film
  15. Nice one and about time.......things might look a bit different in SF world when you are up and running!
  16. Good work whoever did it If only Lucas could have done as well
  17. Don't have any issues with 10 myself...........that's not an endorsement though only move when you feel its right.
  18. First I would cut out the mod folder and check it runs okay without the mods. Almost certainly mod related
  19. And it don't look good..............
  20. It’s when you climb into the cockpit and begin your startup. That’s where it begins. That’s where those often talked about 8 million lines of binary code show what they’re all about. That’s when the integrated systems come online on the large, glass touch-screen. That’s when the cleverness presents itself. No more navigating across the cockpit, reaching for the radios or engine instruments, it’s all right there in front you. The jet comes alive. Yes, Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) pilot Ian ‘Gladys’ Knight is impressed by the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II. Is everything perfect? No. But they’re working on it. http://airheadsfly.com/2016/02/09/f-35-pilot-not-all-about-numbers/
  21. I now have several sorties behind me in the F-35 where the mission has been to train within visual range combat one-on-one, or «Basic Fighter Maneuvers» (BFM). In a previous post I wrote about aerial combat in general (English version available), and about the likelihood that the F-35 would ever end up in such a situation. In this post, however, I write more specifically about my experiences with the F-35 when it does end up in a dogfight. Again, I use the F-16 as my reference. English translation is half way down the page http://nettsteder.regjeringen.no/kampfly/2016/03/01/f-35-i-naerkamp-hva-har-jeg-laert-sa-langt-the-f-35-in-a-dogfight-what-have-i-learned-so-far/
  22. KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan leaders and U.S. military commanders are hailing the arrival of the Afghan air force’s first four light-attack aircraft as a major boost to the nation’s military capabilities. http://www.stripes.com/news/arrival-of-super-tucanos-provides-major-boost-to-afghanistan-s-air-force-1.393894#
  23. In Falcon go to Setup -> Controllers -> Advanced -> Flight Control Is rudder axis set to Keyboard?
