7... let my dragunov forsaken eyes strained.... but if you say one of those pixel planes are not from Jasta 5, I... I kill you edit. yours not included.

Ops, just a little thing. The readme.txt is missing. The shortcut was included instead.

Wow))) actually its not my merit )) The game represents the terrain very realistically, it seems. The fields, roads, settlements look like this from above. About 3000m prop engines start to have problems with air (like our An-2) sport skydivers go higher by turboprop (or small jet) planes. Your pilot must have had good alpine lungs ))))

Sorry to break into the conversation, Im just curious. since I was a paratrooper, I give it a try. Thats at least 3000meters, more likely 3500. in feet thats 3 times more, so about 10000. Have a nice flight)

Chinese were way worse... as I remember. btw gays have their own "olympics" that's what I call a disgrace.

SF has potential... no problem with that. While not the latest in visuals, but in functionality it could be the best. But that's right, a major version is needed, not just little fixes. So this initiative has died?

Yes, there are many important and interesting historical events which we never heard of - or only very little. I found a lot myself through the years. Actually there are no books about it in english (especially because in the "socialist era" this topic was among the forbidden ones). In this case my father (1915-1996) and his first family was involved in these events so my source of information is rather personal. I know very little about the paternal branch of my family tree which is 1/8 polish, 1/8 belarussian, 1/4 transylvanian-hungarian .. Many people died before I was born.. and papers burned (along with people). All I know is the polish branch were involved actively in the 1919-1920 war (Lemberg/Lwow, Grodno Gomel), and later in the 1939-44 war and resistance against both the reds and nazis (also around Lwow, now Lviv, Ukraine). well, sry for the sidetalk... so about the history, if I'd be a billionaire I would make several movies about some very interesting battles and events. Some of them were written in books from the authors' memoires, and are so adventurous and unbelievable that we could think they are only fiction..

70 years ago has ended the bloodiest city siege of the Second World War. The siege of Budapest was in many aspects far more intense than the Battle of Stalingrad. Before, the soviets have never besieged a city of this size. "Comrade Colonel, don't believe your eyes, the nazies are projecting that picture onto the sky. Such large city cannot exist." Adolf Hitler declared the city a fortress, "Festung Budapest" and ordered a defence to the last man. By the last part of the siege the defenders evacuated from the eastern bank of the Danube river (Pest) and fortified the western part of the city (Buda) and the castle hill. Despite serious debate between the hungarian and german leadership and covert sabotage attempts - the german forces utterly demolished all the bridges of Budapest but the northern railroad bridge (which was earlier hit by USAAF bombers). One of which damaged beyond repaid and was never rebuilt. On the 11th of February 1945 the defending forces counted 28000 including about 8000 wounded and thousands of civilian workers and refigees. The defenders held the hill of the Royal Castle, the last defensive position. A final breakout attempt was planned for the evening hours for all personnel capable of walk including civilians. Three waves were planned. Unfortunately the attempt was betrayed, and almost all people were gunned down in a horrendous massacre along the path leading out of the encircled city. Examinations of dead bodies (in mass graves) have revealed that a large number of casualties has been shot by pistol into the nape. No prisoners. Only 680 escaped. Under the castle hill, in the "Szikla" (Rock) hospital about 8000 wounded and medical personnel were shot, raped and burned alive in petrol fire by the raging soviet troops. Today, 14th of February 2014 many civilian, reenactor and historical associations holding memorial celebrations, religious masses of remembrance countrywide on the Day of Honor - despite the intimidation and provocation by the state police and left hand radicals. "Remembrance is our patriotic duty! If we forget our heroes they all died in vain. We need role models for our nation to rise out of the liberal filth and we can be the flagship of the Europe of Nations." - said the leader of the national party keeping in mind that the elections are very close.

Yea, memory is needed... Just when I think about the sheer size of the mod dir alone... if only fragments of those are loaded for a mission, well enough. And normally I don't use custom effects and terrain tiles

The pub we used to attend with ex-soldier colleagues, is full of such guys... in my case, I would have been jealous, rather than afraid I had a girlfriend who liked big bad bikers ))

I don't really understand, this machine should be running SF2 without any probs. My notebook is about the same ... ok, with 8GB RAM, but it never uses so much.

and only two seats left ..

I heard that IL-2 Sturmovik had the same issue with the Grumman TBD Avenger... So it was not in the game by any designation. I was upset about such a stupidity...

Just an idea... maybe the southern part can be sacrificed, if the focus is on the ocean anyway. Cut it, from the upper half of the Gulf of Finland and add ocean to the north. Is it possible to be done or too difficult?

I have just put my hands on a PDF that shows all soviet bases in Austria and Hungary from '50-'90. If it is needed... I'll happily upload

That is what I always envied the most, the 1st amendment... (( Not because of such extremities what we need - but because of double standard... some people are always more equal and they can say whatever they want while others are sent to prison for the same.

Umm yea, watch the language too, for us music in english is not so offensive compared to people who live in an english speaking country ))) -- Sorry I have such mood today.

Thanks these were very instructive... especially the last one. None of the two Koreas were saints during the war, and with a situation that would off-balance the region, another war may emerge over the power vacuum. Nukes involved... But anyway, North Korea serves as a perfect scarecrow..to keep the region in fear, and dependent on big brothers

But wonders can happen. To my own personal request, the N1TV uploaded the original english video of their report made with the rabbi after the demonstration in London. (perhaps you remember my other topic about BBC) Listen.

Holy crap!!!! I remember that from my childhood.... I gotta DL it from somewhere...

yes, of course you are right. There were scoundrels on the loosing side, as there were noble hearts on the winner side too. I didn't mean to generalize I was just pointing to the fact that none of the allied and especially none of the soviet war crimes were ever taken to court and condemned. And none ever since Nurnberg. None of the blue terrorists or red death camp leaders were ever hanged... their grandchildren live happily and still play with people's lives under different flags. And none of those will be hanged... ever
