  1. My personal take is that the conbination of Panda and Starforce might be a problem, depending on the version of Panda. Have worked extensively with all versions of Panda over the last 2 years (yay for being a full-time geek), and have seen that it has it's share of bugs/features. I'm sorry to hear that you lost data, Car. That always sucks badly.
  2. On the drool-scale, this is a full 11 of 10! Very very nice :D
  3. You can find the Manual under the Files-section of the main lockon.ru-page =) I highly suggest taking a look at it, as it's not only a good basis to have, but also because it sheds some light on tactics and the different weapon capabilities (although they're not always correct ingame :P)
  4. I'll just say the same as Neodark, but add something: Do NOT go for a software-RAIDsolution and expect higher performance. Get a proper RAID-controller
  5. Running both Daemontools and FC here, without any issues with Starforce at all. Have multiple Starforce-games (FC, X2:The Threat), none have issues what so ever =)
  6. Someone give that guy/woman a beer. Or twelve! Hell, give'm a case! These were insanely yummy.
  7. I know that the Norwegian F-16's was retrofitted with the -200E's, which offer an electronic fuel control and engine management-package. Not completely sure of the powercurve on them (been too long since I poked around inside the Viper), but I think it was in the vicinity of 20 to 25 000lbs. It is also less prone to compressorstalls in certain parts of the envelope, which was a problem on the -100's.
  8. I'm a rotor-head, and the Hokum has TWO of them! (technically three, but hey, the more, the merrier!). Been a rotorhead since the Gunship/Gunship2000-days on the Amiga, and I've been waiting for a good Hokum-sim for years.
  9. *boggles* Okay, maybe I'm just way out in the fields again (often am, if not usually), but I think there was an airshow with the same name here in Norway this weekend. Might be wrong, though
  10. Then try being in the shelter together with it, DarkSoul :D Did my year in the 331/334 sqn RNoAF as a CCA, and...well, 126DBa in the shelter while the engine is at idle = insanely noisy =) Thank the gods for earplugs! Nice pictures! Wish I could have been there, but I had to work. Besides, the trip from Larvik to Bardufoss would have cost too much!
  11. Heehee! Great stuff! MORE!
  12. It will also depend on cost vs capability. True, the F35 is a nice aircraft, but it's also more expensive than the Gripen. As far as I know, one of the main points for NOT buying the Gripen was that it had less range than most other competitors for the contract here in Norway (entrants: F35 JSF, F/A 18, Eurofighter, Saab Gripen and the Rafale). But with added fuel-carrying capabilities, and with the right price/Industrial-package, I wouldn't discount the Gripen. It's built to be easily serviced, which is nice since the groundcrew that service the F-16's today consist of one officer (CrewChief) and one conscripted soldier (the assistant). Ease of maintnance and the cost of this will also have a large say in what aircraft gets chosen.
  13. Had a good chuckle over this one =)
  14. Did my mandatory year in the military here in Norway in the RNoAF (Royal Norwegian Air Force), working as a CrewChief Assistant, F-16's, doing pre/through/postflight, light maintnance, RS-15's and other odd jobs including but not limited to birdbath (exterior washdown), assisting in dock-work (taking off and putting on hatches, engine-changes etc). All in all a very fun and rewarding year.
  15. Here's another one, coming in at a whopping 40 minutes long. http://www.whas11.com/sharedcontent/VideoPlayer/videoPlayer.php?vidId=60862&catId=49
  16. What signifies a good online pilot? My answer: one that can be repeatedly blown out of the sky, but still laugh and truthfully say that they've had a great time playing.
  17. *whips out his sales-stand with the Patience-lotion™ tubes in it* Get it here! Seriously, I'm getting Black Shark even if I have to wait until 2010 for it.
  18. Favorites: Supermarine Spitfire. Wonderful in every way Su-27-family (27/30/32/33/34/37). Looks, Grace and Power combined. Third must be a shared spot between: Ka-50 Hokum. Agile, fast, un-orthodox and deadly. F-16. Will forever be one of my favorites after working on them for a year.
  19. That's some sweet shots, and a damn nice skin, right there! :) Looks like the Anab's launch hot and bothered :D
  20. when it's done™! An old adage in the MMORPG-communities :D
  21. Even after all these years, the Phantom is still one of my absolute favorite aircraft. Big, lumberings, noisy and smokin' yummyness :D
  22. Mindblowingly good looking. This'll find a nice place in my collection of skins.
  23. You were running an old version of PHPBB, and there has been a rather nasty security-hole in that version. So unless you have upgraded between the time your site got defaced and now, that might be how they got into the system. A DDOS-drone is one of the things I can think of what's happened.
  24. First throughs: Cool! Second thoughs: That's going to be like driving a pregnant, drunk yak :P
  25. I'd say that was fairly accurately modeled behaviour :P
