as much as I like honest trailers, Nostalgia Critic all the way!!! as JM said, you should check How It Should Have Ended oh, and Red Letter Media has some decent movies talk too

I strongly hope they fixed the movie, Cruise dies horribly at the beginning and Kilmer is the lead hero now... right? @Nesher: they can, it's just bigger PIA than making colour movie out of b&w material

looks very good Ed! Something for my new PTO-only install

@usafphantom2: Solomons do work in merged install, Jul12, without noticeable errors, if any, tested in SF2-all merged with my tileset/treemod and Jonathan's campaign, also in separate WW2 install

I want Microprose back...

I, for requirement of some testing, made stand-alone SF2:Europe install while back and ran into buckload of issues with it, since then I recommend just having full-merged install, and just copy the exe (NA preferably) and make custom install out of it. WhiteKnight, you can, as stated above, simply erase (or better move to sub-folder like _original_planes) all the default aircraft, same with groud objects (thought I'd leave those as these are)

it seems mobile apps are currently more important for Thirdwire for whatever reason, I'd hesistate to say we won't see any SF2-related development, be it patches or Exp3, until iOS version is up and ready. DLC maybe as these are sometimes very minor updates of already existing planes

one more thing, we had no SF2 patch in 6 months...

or consider buying SF2:Israel with Expansion Pack 1, series 1 is no longer in development

That's so inappropriate... We're family-friendly site! mandatory screen:

the problem with DCS addons is simple -no consistency, be it Eagle Dynamics (P-51D... still can't get over it!) or modding groups: group A -let's do F-15 Strike Eagle group B -good luck, we're working on F-86 group C -Sabre? We do F-117! etc, with such understandable approach (because why one group should bother what the other is doing?) we really won't have good build of addons (for those wondering: most certainly payware in the 25-30+ $ range) in coming year(s) then, there's this 800 pounds gorilla in the room no one speaks about, namely other theatres. Maybe TK should consider doing DCS version of ...Iceland? And I'm not so sure if it's my bad joke or brillant idea. Both perhaps

disable UAC and run as admin in Dx9

yes it was square but because the effect graphics were drawn (by me) as square, the diameter is scaled but I think the lenght too -the lenght can be easily tweaked by making plane-specific copy of the desired effect, for example Mig29_afterburnereffect.ini and changing the particle lifetime= value, the longer it lives the longer the burner

the one in aircraft's ini file? I think yes, it scales it globally but haven't tested this in a loong time Russ might be patches changed this in a meantime

on this sole occasion I DO hope you're wrong Jeff...

I think we won't see stable, semi complete pack* of addon planes for DCS in this year, or following ones (till say 2015), at the time we'll have nice pack of addon planes DCS already will be obsolete -I know this sounds like heresy now, but time goes by quickly the other story is lack of any other terrain *semi complete pack -as in, usable to create plausible Vietnam or Israel or any 60s-70s campaign

Funny thing is, I clearly remember I had vivid dream about me watching series named "Tailgunner" starring Hanks many years ago, somewhere around time Band of Brothers was a big thing on TV anyway, good news I think

I wasn't following the Realism mod topic Daddy, thanks for heads-up

sort of "SF2:The Right Stuff"™ kind of megapatch? I'd go for it but I'm affraid everyone would have his/her own idea about the needed extra content and we'll end with 12GB install file in no time. What would be good would be sticking only to default content or replacements for it - updated planes data, avionics, skins, ground units&data tweaks, optionally terrains etc

Dave, you're killing me!

I'd say drivers, but as said above, Intel HD Graphics in Dx10 messes the graphics

either I start to develop new vision problems or more likely members got them new colours. I like those! Eric, Staff, thanks for constant improvements to our little zoo

Sabre Dog could fit...
