  1. I want a GE powered viper now. :) What a shame the USAF has no direct replacement for it but the stealth version of the "F-111" ;)
  2. It barely missed the buildings at the left. Still there were survivors and even worse tragedy was avoided.
  3. Have any of you actually ran into performance dropouts? (please state game and resolutions pls)
  4. looks like kerbal mediaval program? :)
  5. U_n5SNrMaL8 The interesting part is that someone did get 7 mil points and pepsi didn't award one. It went to court.
  6. yes, by cranking up the detail to levels not realistically meant for these cards anyway.
  7. Not so sure you will spend 4GB so easely at 1080P even with full filters switched on. If there is an impact then NVIDIA would be committing a fatal design oversight resulting in massive card recalls. They missed this issue completely when reviewing the cards. It was only detected because people pushed them over above and beyond. You need a faster card for those territories anyway.
  8. Not a big deal. You will only run into problems if you try play at 4K which no card can do at playable levels anyway. My old 570 would do worse. :)
  9. U guys unbelievable, this is why some people think the moon landing was a hoax as well. :lol:
  10. It's real. It just doesn't have PoAF's seal of approval because it was leaked. This video was all over the news here, and someone will pay for the leak that's for sure. For those who haven't been watching the news, PoAf was the leading airforce for the fall 2014 Baltic air policing mission. It followed a series of intercepts off the coasts of both Russia And Portugal involving F-16's Tu-95's and a plethora of Russian fighters and surveillance aircraft. A lone P-3 was sent to the Baltic in early November as a response to the VVS pair of Tu-95's that entered Lisbon international landing pattern with their transponders switched off in late October which was considered an hostile act. There was another incursion off the Portuguese coast just a few days earlier. That P-3 was intercepted multiple times. Our pilots have a huge photo collection of Russian aircraft. :) national news: http://www.rtp.pt/noticias/index.php?article=799598&tm=8&layout=122&visual=61
  11. No thought's it's been confirmed the video is real by the national state TV. However the AF declined to comment. The PoAF has indeed been involved in numerous "exuberant" encounters with the VVS in last fall. Source: http://www.rtp.pt/noticias/index.php?article=799598&tm=8&layout=122&visual=61

  13. The sparrows were successfully used in real combat after the sidewinders had failed to down their prey. So no, it's not that unrealistic.
  14. Anyone could do that but it is distracting you from what is happening outside because if you had those clues you wouldn't spend as much time looking in just one direction. The clues would be a major differentiation feature to other SIM's. :)
  15. The problem of planes feeling underpowered may be a by-product of lack of perception when aircraft is being stressed. You pull the aircraft to it's limits and it falls off the sky with little warning. We need to hear a more pronounced airflow noise change from inside the cockpit along with some shuddering, and changes to the contrails, some axis tuning (you get maximum input with little deflection), things like this that also add to immersion. :)
  16. If it's only to save $90 maybe its better keep the I7 for better future proofing. 4 threads is enough for now but the picture could change quickly.
  17. Read between the lines: They will sell the fighter and then upgrade kits for the owners. ;)
  18. Aircraft will be measured for their maximum cruise speed these days. If we calculate medium speed for each flight mission then supercruise speed will probably trump top speed attained by legacy aircraft using afterburners because this can only be attained for shorter periods of time.
