Fox News is comparable in that they've actively distorted facts on several occasions, one notable example being a certain Republican congressman involved in a gay scandal suddenly becoming a Democrat on Fox News. Also, do any of you actually get Russian TV where you live? If not, where then can we find evidence of this staterun censorship that you speak of?

I'll see your "Russian TV lol" and raise you one Fox News. Pot calling the kettle black.

A Sapphire RX1950 and the latest drivers.

Russia is in the right here. S.O has been indepent since 1992 when they seceded from Georgia following a civil war. Thus Georgia has attacked a de facto independent state and the russians have the right to intervene as they see fit. All in all this is the result of Sakashvili's retarded dickwaving gesture. And as for the Olympics, they are traditionally seen as all nations competing as brothers laying aside their differences, and starting a war on the same day as the opening like Sakashvili just did is essentially pissing on that ideal, so f*** him. And what the f*** does he think he's trying to accomplish by posing with the EU flag while holding his speeches? Georgia doesn't even rank as a potential candidate for EU membership.

I use ATI and have no major problems.

I have a lot of flickering trees which strangely I didn't have when trying the beta you gave me. Sorry about that btw, I only had time to test it like once and completely forgot about it :D

They probably watched the RIAA's racketerring ops (Collecting royalties from internet radio stations playing independent artists) and decided it'd be a good idea to do the same.

Have you given any thought as to sharpening the panellines? It looks a bit blurred out right now.

The decal bleed and faceting are probably down to unwelded vertices and resultant bad smoothing groups. I suggest you manually go over every part and check the number of vertices, manually welding as you go. If that fails, rebuild the troubled polys.

You should have a separate material for the gears and stuff so that they are flat and the fuselage glossy.

What size are those skins?

Ok, time to break out the simple Julhelm guide to unwrapping: This is my helicopter: This is my helicopter unwrapped: This is my helicopter textured: On the unwrap you can see how I've unwrapped the various parts, and on the textured map you can identify which parts go where on the helicopter in the first picture. This is important to get right, because if you have bad, inefficient unwraps with lots of wasted space, you end up with too many, too big textures that slow down perfomance and look crap compared to a job done proper. Always strive for perfection. There is no such thing as a job half-done. Either you make sure the job gets done flawlessly, or you don't do it at all. That's my work ethic.

Maybe, maybe not.

IMO the skins look blurry and low-res. Perhaps it's due to low graphics settings when taking the screens, but I'd really like to see a proper max render and perhaps a skinmap posted here. What size are you using anyway and are you photosourcing all of it?

Well thruth be told, there is a little shimmer of hope after all up here. Last year a guy, after years of having his family harassed by local youths, snapped and shot two of them, killing one and wounding the other. Well what do you know? The court not only dropped all charges against the man, but gave him back his gun! Take that f***ing hippie scum.

No, the real tragedy of Europe is how they got everyone to buy into this EU s**t and their damned "free market" bulls**t so the government could sell out those state-owned assets like our nuclear reactors which were paid for (and thus rightly, owned) by the taxpayers and designed to provide power at self-cost rate (+/- 0) to private corporations who are now using this infrastructure, whose development they never had to invest in, to pricegouge Joe Average at 200+% rates. And what about the so-called free market and equal-competition rules of the EU? We still have the same old State monopoly (and tax-gouging) on alcohol and medicine, which they import cheaply and then sell to the people for 5 times the actual price; they erect surveillance cameras all over the place, they pass legislation that gives the f***ing military intelligence legal mandate to wiretap ALL electronic communication within the country, and of course all costs related to living just rise and rise, like gas is almost 2£ per LITER, food is 20% more expensive than 6 months ago, and then they have the gall to blame overpopulation in the third world when it's their own f***ing policies of demanding, in exchange for the food and monetary aid given to 3rd world nations, that their farmers produce, not to feed their own people, but to compete on the export market with our own ultra-government-subsidized farmers making certain that said nations can never get off the ground to feed themselves, thus perpetuating the cycle. And we call this grand lie "democracy". f*** that s**t. Democracy means the citizens should have the power, not "vote for us and do as we say". Democracy should not be a way for the elite and all the other motherf***ing suits to leech and rob you and me of everything that's ours and then f*** us over a little more. No, if there was any justice in the world those motherf***ers, and I mean every single last f***ing one of them, should be put against a wall and shot for high treason.

There is a pretty decent B-movie starring Jürgen Prochnow (of Das Boot fame) called Interceptor that involves the midair theft of a couple F-117's. That's probably the last good air movie I ever saw.

So, do any of our chinese friends know anything new about this? The original site seems to be gone.

I didn't even know you could put the mag in backwards. It sure as hell wasn't possible with either the G3 or the AK-5.

Wow, remakes of Topgun AND Red Dawn? When are they going to remake Rocky IV?

Sure.

Show me a video from the alpha then.

If you bought it from the online Third Wire store it's already patched and applying the patches with screw up your install.
