  1. yeah; there is a little part of the ejection seat on one of the pictures on the link; looks like they didn’t even got the chance to eject
  2. Sad for the pilots. I wonder why they could not eject? did they ejected at all?
  3. Algerian flankers
  4. What happened here?
  5. http://russianplanes.net/id79836 Sukhoi really knows how to make hot looking jets!
  6. Your opinions please; can I play sims using ubuntu?
  7. Some serious skills right there !
  8. Who needs Harriers!
  9. The only upgrade you can do is ram; that's it; sorry. Overpriced? I don't think so; yes you can build a faster system with the same money. I was a pc guy since the beginning but my career forced me to try the macs; at the end I feel like it will be very hard to get a pc again. Macs are simple; work fine with almost 0 issues; are beautifully designed (less is more approach) the materials are nice not only in quality but also at the touch; even the box were it come from is nicely crafted; you can't say the same about pcs like dell or hp. I just think that apple goes the extra mile to deliver a good product. If I were to get a pc it would be solely for gaming. I got burn by Microsoft twice; first with windows me; and secondly with vista. Every day I have to deal with bugs on computers using xp! which is the best os from Microsoft so far. I have an imac intel; the first model that came with an intel core duo and I have yet to see any failure on that machine. I also have a macbook pro from 2011 and I love it. I had 3 pcs before my macs; the first one was an acer spire 95! it was nicely designed but the hard drive died on me; no other complain about it other than it got obsolete very fast. The second one was a build machine using a pentium 4; with windows me; on paper it was nice but it keep crashing and windows me didn't help. The third one; a Dell, which I still have; 0 issues other than hard drive after 8 months of work. I rarely use it but I think it is a solid machine combined with xp; still it is nowhere near the finish and quality of my macs.
  10. In lock on the eagle is a more stable gun platform than the flanker but it struggles to out turn the flanker down low. Where it shines is high and on acceleration; you can climb better than the flanker too. So to to kill a flanker down low you got to play with angles and distances. Now you guys should check Key publishing forums; they have a tread about the rafale and they claim that it almost beat the f-22! that the f-22 pilots had to put more effort than they expected to beat the french fighter.
  11. looks like author opinion. Probably because the eagle will dominate up high against the f-16? maybe because the f-15 is a bit less of a energy fighter and less aoa limited? we would have to pull the charts to find out.
  12. How many successful jet fighters has Looked Martin Produced?; I think they are more into specialty aircraft and not so good into large production jet fighters. F-16? No, it was designed bt General Dynamics, f-15? no Designed by McDonnell Douglass, f-14? Grumman. F-18 Mcdonnell again. F-4... Look at the yf-23; if McDonnell was so busy to produce it, why Looked Martin has the Monopoly over almost everything concerning military. I just don't understand why nobody is held accountable for LM failures.
  13. They even send you the reports by mail to your house in the US! Crazy! I just ordered a publication about vortex management at high alpha! Love NASA; Shame that people is not more aware of NASA's work for society!
  14. can somebody explain how the oxigen system works on the raptor
  15. Why can't they find the root of the problem; is it the paint and chemicals that is making the pilots sick? here is some news from kamov; gorgeous helicopter http://sdelanounas.ru/blogs/17498/
  16. It is like they discovered hot water.
  17. What is the story behind this picture?
  18. Inspirational stuff!
  19. At least the t-50 has some of the beauty of the yf-23; I heard that even the russians believed that the yf-23 was the best airplane; what a shame.
  20. This can't be safe!
  21. f-18, su-27, mig-29, mig-25, f-15 and... anything ed releases to be honest.
  22. It's got to be a lomac problem; it works on falcon 4.0... Mac running vista... yes vista... it is not a driver issue as far as I can see.
  23. I know this has been discussed tons of times; but it happened to me again; I tried the old solution of deleting the track ir file from the input folder; but I don't have an input folder like in lock-on 1.0; what should I do? thanks.
  24. f-18+ bad ass guitar solo= win!
