I just finished up building my 1/144 B-58 i picked up at a Korean hobby shop. Hung it up next to my F-105 in the same scale. On the bench i got a 1/72 B-17F from academy along with a 1/144 B-47. Got to finish these up before i leave for college this summer.

Good news. I was accepted to the University of Portland! Its a pretty expensive school too, luckily, I received an Army ROTC scholarship for history that covers 100% tuition, and since I'm on scholarship, the school pays for 100% room and board. I applied to a bunch of state schools in WA (my home state) but nothing from them yet. Go figure. I can get word from an out of state private college, but not from 3 different in-state schools! I applied for an Air Force scholarship as well, but was deferred to the next board, and eventually was presented a scholarship as well, unfortunately, it was a type 7, which wouldn't make a dent into the tuition costs. The whole scholarship process with the Air Force was painful. I'd send an email, and get something back 3 weeks later, telling me that they cant answer it right now because of many applicants and a too few workers, but they'll get to me as soon as possible. The Army on the other hand was superb. I would get an email back the same day, even though I live in Korea! Ill keep you guys informed on everything and don't worry, I'm not gonna give up flight simming, its too much fun!

Dude, ODS brings my computer to its knees. Its too intense lol. I experience random shutdowns when I play it over 3 missions. On topic, is there a possibility of painting a carrier deck on the sea tiles and placing a building shaped and painted like the island?

You have no idea! Me and my buds back in Nebraska would have these massive GI Joe battles in the fields. We each had something like ten or so 12 inch GI Joes, each completely decked out with everything from M1911s to M-16A2/203s. One of my friends had a Helicopter, another had a Air Cooled 50 Caliber from the Pearl Harbor GI Joe, I had a jeep with a rocket launcher rack. We'd dig trenches for them, set up pill boxes, make bunkers, tents, field hospitals. Then spend a whole afternoon out there playing. It was much fun. I always had my Navy Seal GI Joes HALO jump in the back and screw things up for my friend muahahahahahaha!

I hate to do this but, I got a problem, its probably easy to answer. I saddled up in my RF-4C and pushed the throttles forward. Looking at the plane using the F6 button, i noticed that only 1 of the burners was working. The engine works, its just that the effect is missing. What sort of tweak do i need to do to fix this? Awesome mod guys. Thank you so much for making this happen. I had not played this game with the newest patch until this mod. Wow, things have changed a lot. FLight models seem to be a bit more realistic. I love how the noise suddenly disappears when you break the sound barrier. I also love the constant radio chatter in the background. Its so COOL! P.S. I remember begging USAFMTL (Dave) to release the Desert Storm terrain (which he did btw) back in the SimHq days. About 3 years later, we get something totally awesome!

YES!!!!!! muhahahahahahahahahahaha I cant wait to fly!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

OMG!!!!!! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ITS FINALLY DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH Good job guys. I cant wait to try it out! -Bucklehead

I know the 90th TFS at Clark had their F-4Es into the early '90s.

Well, aperently the Korean Gov decided to take over some land and redevelope it. The store owners went back into their stores so the police went out to get them out. They started throwing molotovs at the Korean gate guards and caught their own building on fire too. I think 6 people died.

Im not too worried about the north dropping bombs on us. Right now at Seoul American High, i got semester exams and protestors throwing Molotov cocktails near gate 17.

So for my belated 18th birthday present here in Korea, my parents decided to have my wisdom teeth removed. So there I was, on my back with Novocain pumped into my mouth when he says look at the time. Ill be done in less than an hour. They put this green tarp over my face and proceeded to cut. All four in 27 minutes. The taxi ride back across the river was horrible. Bouncing all over the street with this ice pack pressed against my face. Went to bed popping Ibuprofen and frozen vegetables on my face. When I woke up this morning, I had thawed green beans on bed with blood smeared all over my pillow case. If that wasn't enough, i looked in the mirror and found out that I had John McCain cheeks. My mouth is so damn swollen..... Im figuring on dropping a couple pounds as all I've eaten is a bowl of ice cream. Thank God for juice. So until further notice, ill be playing on my PC. -Sean

I can verify the more maps thing. Flight Model modding is considered taboo. If anyone went public with a maneuverability mod, they would be excommunicated and then banned from all gaming communities. If there is anything, you'll find it at allaircraftarcade.com or some website that sounds similar. -Cheers

Dude, these are pretty cool! -Bucklehead

<S>

What do you mean segregation? I thought that just about everything on this site was open to people with membership? Did something change?

Gumpy's response is probably what you need lol

There are a variety of reasons why you are blowing up when hitting the ground. How fast are you going? What angle are you hitting the ground at? Generally speaking, you don't want to clip the ground, and generally speaking, in real life, if you clipped the ground, your plane would cartwheel, wings would fly off, and you would end up a fireball at the far end of the field. If your trying to belly-land, always make sure that the speed your moving forward is greater than the speed you are falling. Now if they dont explode when the clip the ground, they might be using tweaks to strengthen their airframes.

Its the Vietnam mod for BF2 and it is AWESOME. screenshot link: http://eodmod.com/website2007/start2.htm main site: http://eodmod.com/website2007/start2.htm Cheers Bucklehead

So I am a High School senior and applying for an AF ROTC scholarship. Even if i dont get the scholarship I still intend to join the AF ROTC unit and hopefully get a commission. My first choice would be to fly. If i dont fly i want to do something that doesnt keep me behind a desk to do paperwork. Are there any careers out there that let officers be out in the field and do stuff? What would officers do in Security Forces? Air Force Special Operations? Thanks in advance -Bucklehead

Football scrimmage on Saturday morning Rest on Sunday Football practice on Monday It never ends......

We dont have tankers in the game. If we had a 1:1 scale map of Vietnam, we would have to divert to DaNang every mission upon our return. This game isnt Targetware, so stop comparing it to it. PLEASE

That WOULD be pretty cool. This is a pretty good idea.

I think we do. Im pretty sure i tried it with my F-8 once. Im pretty sure i ended up using the guns to get my kills cause the missiles were just plain s____.

Taco Bell goes through me like no other.....
