  1. Pretty amazing job of getting that plane down.
  2. I agree, total BS. Who could even imagine the Former Soviet Union would ever invade and enslave other countries, slaughtering its inhabitants ? Crushing any hope for independance and Democracy. Total Hollywood job. :music_whistling:

    Air Conflicts

    Not getting very good reviews. You have to wonder if there will ever be another top notch WW-2 sim again.:(
  4. The pics remind me of Eve, which I tried out once. The graphics are so pretty I spent a week just zipping about at light speed. But the whole storyline behind the game was just to strange and convoluted. That and there is so much to learn and very little support. Lol, I remember when Pong first came out when I was in High School. I guess a guy my age would rather sit in a Spit, a Sopwith Camel, or an M1 tank then popping thru worm holes 100,000 years from now. Those futuristic universes sure seem popular to an awful lot of gamers nowadays tho.
  5. Terrific photo history of Hungary's former air glory. I enjoyed it much, as any Cold War warrior would. Thank you.
  6. I didnt exactly see any conflict it was involved in, tho a pretty video non-the-less. Ive personally always been a fan of the French fighter industry, most of all the Mirage series. Im just fond of their lines. And at a time of global economic crisis and reduced warplane puchases how lucky we all were to get such a splendid little, cant lose, reality air show in Libya to woo perspective INTL buyers of fighters and Jabos. Even the Swedes are there with their Gripens.
  7. Ah forgive me. I knew better but the thing was just sticking in my craw. Apologies for breaking the rules.
  8. I remember hearing the same about Saddam. Westerners just dont understand factional tribal war. Whatever happens I'll never understand what were doing there. We only import 3% of our oil from Libya. Europe gets 85% of Libyan oil sold, most of all Italy and France. As well as having the biggest investments in Libyan oil infrastructure. We already account for 75% of NATO's defense budget. The Euro members are planning to slash their defense budgets even more in coming years, "not that most of them are spending a dime on Libya anyway let alone fighting." All Mr. Q has to do is survive. Eventually Americans and Brits will wake up and figure they are suckers for financing this expensive and illegal war and that will be it.
  9. Im wondering if its AI A-10s or actual player flown Hogs. If I remember right that wasnt a multiplayer clip but a single player scenerio. EA has been pretty close Lipped about aircraft in the game and as far as I have seen only F-18s, a MIG-29, and several rotaries have been established so far. I hope the A-10 is included however.
  10. Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I'd love a awsome pit someday.
  11. The Chinese are notorious tech theives. What they cant steal they "borrow" from countries we sell to. Be that as it may sealing tech and building an infrustructure that can output something as sophisticated as an F-22 are two different things. To build a stealth fighter nowadays is really no big secret. But to provide the software, the avionics, dependable engines...ect ? That something quite different.
  12. I liked all of it, frankly. I have a kid whose very good at piano. It was a gift we started him with at 4yo cause neither my wife nor I was ever introduced to music as kids. I always told him his music was something nobody could ever take away or he could ever lose. You gotta have a dream in this life. If not then what was the point ?

    64bit?

    Im just wondering but I install my games into a separate C/games folder and not directly into Programs. I had assumed since there is no compatability settings for either 32 or 64 bit the program by default ran at 64 bit. However i do wonder about the slow loading times on such a fast machine. Am I running 64 bit by default ? Thank you.
  14. Im having a ball with this sim. And I never had an interest in WW-l flight. But its so pure. Rise Of Flight is a winner. I just bought that huge Brit Bomber and Love droning around in it. Between ROF and A-10c I am set for a long time. Both Lovely programs.
  15. Well Ive heard to many good things to NOT! buy it so I bought it yesterday. The Iron cross edition. I was thinking of adding a few airplanes while they are on sale can anyone give advice ? I'll be honest. If theres a hotrod I can add to my hangar then I want it. And maybe a bomber. I havnt even played it yet cause i spent all last night downloading it and installing it. It really looks fun tho.
