  1. Osprey to deploy to Iraq

    Here are some sources on its (lack of) auto-rotaion capabilities: http://www.g2mil.com/V-22safety.htm http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys...-22-survive.htm (towards the bottom of the page) http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001837.html http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...1666282,00.html
  2. Osprey to deploy to Iraq

    But if both engines go out while in chopper mode, you're screwed because Boeing didn't bother giving it auto-rotation capabilities. The V-22 would fall like a very expensive boulder.
  3. Lol, I've done that before, but I rippled of all twelve at once. It's funny watching a "squadron" of bombs chase a MiG through the air. IRC, they actually gained altitude when the target was above them. I don't think anyone programed the smart bombs to actually fall when released because no one expected them to be used on anything but ground targets; they just home in on the selected target.
  4. If you consider Secret Weapons over Normandy a flight sim, it has guided bombs and rockets in it.
  5. Whatcha building right now?

    An F-16B if I ever get around to doing it
  6. Nuclear Ops...or Ooops?

    From the 2nd artccle posted: It’s not like they had nuclear ACMs and conventional ACMs right next to each other and they just happened to load one with a nuclear warhead One really has to wonder how they f*** this up so badly
  7. OT, sorry AFAIK, there are no skyscraper mods of SF/WOV/WOE. But the EAWEuro terrain does have some nice large cities, such as Berlin or London, painted onto the tiles. Hope this helps.
  8. Very nice, its about time someone made a decent pit for the Herc
  9. It reminds me of what i saw on the road a couple months ago. I was travelling to Hershey Park with my friends and watching Monty Python in the backseat. When I finally broke my attention from the Spanish Inquistion and looked out through the front window, I saw a huge Paladin artillery piece on a flat bed truck not more than 30 feet in front of us!
  10. The Star Wars Galaxy

    Could you please repost, it didn't show up for me
  11. I've been watching some videos on youtube of dogfights (such as this one here: ), and I've noticed that on the HUD a squiggly line appears that looks like it leads up to the target. Does anyone know waht this line is or what it's used for? thanks

    thanks, very nice
  13. Star Wars Games

    Am I the only one who actually enjoyed Rogue Squadron? I'm still waiting for Lucas Arts to release the sequels for PC.

  15. Roll Call

    arf16 checking in (I wonder how many pages 20,000 posts will take...)
  16. I think it would be awesome to see real world aircraft fighting Star Wars craft, like in Secret Weapons over Normandy.
  17. I got in just fine just a second ago
  18. right up the road,what a mess,murder on campus

    Springfield, Va This has had a profound impact on the community around here. I went to the local Sports Authority to pick up a VT shirt, but all they had left were shirts in XX-L and some hats. That entire mall was cleaned out of VT apparel. :( BTW, Counterstrike could be blamed for this, but this guy was so mentally disturbed that no one but the shooter could be blamed
  19. right up the road,what a mess,murder on campus

    I heard on the news last night that the police found two different hand guns of different caliber on the shooters body
  20. right up the road,what a mess,murder on campus

    One of the girls killed went to my school...I know many people at VT right now and the scary part is that I still haven't heard if all of them are ok
  21. you need to get Charles' WW2 formation mod: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=3197
  22. I loaded LOMAC onto my laptop once, and I wasn't even able to play it because it's so demanding on the system.
  23. I tried to modify the Euro1962 campaign to be flown in 2005 with modern aircraft and ground units. But whenever I fly more than one mission inn the campaign, the game CTDs. Can some one help me with this?
  24. Thanks, I already fixed all the DefaultTexture lines, and I'll try adding a start line to all the none player units.
