  1. I know, surprised me as well so many fans of the Maiden
  2. Allegiance is completely different...did you ever read Fool's Gamble? same sort of thing where he takes a few stormtroopers and makes them human And Outbound Flight was awesome too
  3. Thanks, will give it a whirl
  4. I just saw this star wars mod called first strike...am downloading now here is the link http://www.moddb.com/mods/6512/first-strik...lient-installer unclear though, if I only want to play off-line, do I need a server or client install? you may like it as the threads said it was better than SWBF2 (which I still play on occasion) did you ever try republic commando?
  5. - didnt he write for Baldur's Gate also? - I think you will like Watson's work, though I have not figured out how they were classed as "young adult", except that they are in the 100 - 200 page category...seems like they should throw them all into a trade-novel. I especially liked how your avatar was a farmer until Qui Gon came along Yeah. for me, after KOTOR there was doubt if anything could match it because IMNSHO, it was the best story since Empire Strikes Back.
  6. Yeah, I read the Young Adult books by Jude Watson because she carried the Qui-Gon story as well as the young Obi Wan story. Yep, Zahn is still my favorite, but I also like Luceno, Stackpole, and that dude that wrote Path of Destruction. man, PoD was so good, I literally read like 3/4 of it in an afternoon...I really liked how they finally explained what a force user experiences...that whole "opened himself to the force" is a bit creepy to me, but in PoD they truly explained it. And how can a character compare to Thrawn?
  7. that sounds like Dover...Hwy 1 passes directly under the approach end of the runway (or departure, as the wind blows)
  8. I have BF2142, but it is lacking...I especially do not like how EA forces you to have an online account, and you get no advancement at all unless you do it on line... No fun for me, as I hate getting fragged by some 12 year old camper...that is what I call not fun - Because I am not smart...if I want to play OFF-line, do I need the client or the server version?

    Novels

    OK, I know this is a sim forum, but anyone else read the novels? A friend suggested the series a couple of years ago and I have read like 32 books now.
  10. weird, so why dont they make it for me... let me try something

    GO AWAY.....

    d@mn...showing my age again...
  12. so is it basically just using the engine from 1942 with transformers textured on? Sounds cool, but your review makes me pause
  13. I really enjoy 1946, and while more planes are always better, there are so many choices now, it is very cool.
  14. man am I the only one playing this game?
  15. Being lazy and basically incompetent...wait is that redundant...I have not found a water replacement tile for the original SFP1 ocean. It has to be out there. Recently in order to get the carriers into WOE, I followed USAFMTL's steps, but added the desert terrain so I could follow it verbatim (even that was not my idea, someone way smarter than me figured out that step). Now I look at the desert terrain water and go "ugh, water does not look like that". And help? And the search button is way up there...
  16. Not challenging you, but I have never seen it in a CAS mission, would you be able to snap a screenshot and post it? Maybe I am doing something wrong. Maybe they dont like me. No idea.
  17. I like the WWII mods...except for 1946, they are the best treatment of the type in a flight sim (and 1946 gets points because of all the sweet ground targets...I love shooting a truck and watching the dudes run out of it)
  18. I think they submitted it for download, but a couple of errors was delaying the release. If you can read Chinese, it may be up on the InSky website...
  19. actually I do not have photoshop, only MSPaint and it cannot see a tga file, so no go for me. I know, funny that I have 3ds Max 8 and not photoshop...
  20. really? maybe I should send an email instead...honestly had not thought about contacting them...will give it a try. hey does Perrot still work for them?
  21. Same here, Pac v Pat with the Pats the winner

    GO AWAY.....

    isnt the last writers strike what spawned the "reality" based shows anyway...so why are they striking so soon again? They are getting worse than the MLB/NBA
  23. It annoys me when people ascribe it to something in the civilian world...yes, terrible/tragic things happen to civilians to, no question! But "shell shock" is a particular kind of reaction to the horrors of war.
  24. Looks like radarFrame.tga reticle.tga sightreflection.tga then rwrGreen.tga rwrRed.tga rwrYellow.tga Seems like they should not affect it, but I changed out the radar.tga with a radar.bmp from MiG-23 and the issue remained
  25. We are also seeing brain damage surface ex post facto, from blast waves of IEDs. Oddly enough this stuff can go undetected for quite a while. The Army has no handle on how many PTSD-cases it will see...these are the dudes that ran Walter Reed BTW (and dont think for a second they would have fixed anything if they had not been caught). am NOT flaming the Army, was very disappointed when it came out, and yes, many people are to blame.
