It sure beats the other film in which tomcats feature prominently. I have not seen it since I was a kid and just remember loving it until the anticlimactic ending.

All I can think of when I see ASW mentioned is anti-submarine warfare, it's just too ingrained in my mind to think of anything else.

Yeah strokes suck. I had one in my early 30s, but a lot milder than yours sounds. My speech took a year to get to the point where people didn't think I was drunk all the time, but I only had very mild physical effects. Hope you get better asap. The physical therapy is hard, but the harder you go at it the better the results. Remember your brain is fairly plastic and will compensate for the damage, it just takes time and effort. Good luck and thinking of you. Ps. I had been missing your intelligent and insightful posts.

I agree , ED and the third party developers need all the support we can give.

Will be great when it works.

Great work looking forward to a replay.

I think it is a bit like the chicken and the egg, ED won't give out the tools unless you can prove you have the skills to make it good quality, but you can't prove that until you have have access to the tools. I am sure this will all get worked out once the technology matures and procedures are invented. It is still early days for EDGE and getting things right takes time.

Great news SiThSpAwN, thanks.

And a carrier to crash, I mean land into.......

Edit: it isn't worth it

Thanks for the videos SiThSpAwN. I read that they have just completed pitching deck and weapons carry trials on the recent USS America cruise, but haven't seen any videos yet. If anyone comes across some, please post.

I don't know for sure, but logically it would have to be in 2.0 as that has the new mappy, texturey good bits.

Do you have a link for VKB China please?

And yet we have a few million feral camels out here that we are paying millions of dollars to have culled from helicopters and left to rot in the desert. Go figure.... These days I try and keep my weekly meat meals to camel or roo. Emu if I am feeling like splurging, it's delicious, but very pricey. I can't bring myself to eat our own chickens and I don't think my son would let me, so when they are sick or past the lay they go under the fruit trees.

Definitely an improvement on the F-16 sim but still a bit 2d photo textures for my tastes, maybe it's flying over google maps or something.

Israel orders more F-35I. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.755641?v=69C41F7146B7888D9CD2D932B8906E38 http://www.globes.co.il/en/article-israels-f-35s-to-have-unique-secret-components-1001162840

;) X:? How many drives do you have skate? ;)

It sure reduces the depth of the VPTSD.......

Oh viggen thou beauty cannot be hidden For so long we have suspected your arrival Now with the spit of fire your rival Can this twitch unleash The beast I know is beneath Your sleak and buxsom physique. While all the fans lay eyes on you My eyes will be dreaming on through The night that will be so long down under Then I will watch the thunder That will show the doubters And awake the routers So I can watch you over and under.

I'll just quote myself, we are straying into familiar debates of aircraft performance, mostly not even related to the thunderbolt, but without that information, we will never get to play it out virtually, so anyone got some?

Logic and science? Shame on you Shagrat. ;) The funny (or depressing depending on my mood) thing I find about this polarised debate is that the "deniers" call the "greenies" tree hugging animal lovers who put "nature" above humanity. Whereas if the "greenies" get what we/they want then it will create a stable environment for humanity to continue, but if we continue with business as usual as the deniers want, the humanity that they claim to value above nature will be condemned to much more suffering. I swing from one side to the other depending on how we we behave and what I think we deserve due to our actions, but ultimately it is a pointless value judgement that I have no right to impose on others let alone have the conviction to support. Welcome to the world of depressive realism and join me for another toast to the excitement of seeing what happens............... In the meantime :joystick::pilotfly:

Works for me.

This write up came as part of an update to a kickstarter project I have signed up for, but I found it fascinating as a lover of aviation history and just having re-read all the Roald Dahl books with my son, enjoy. For background WASPs (Womens Airforce Service Pilots) were a unit of women that did ferrying of new build and serviced aircraft around the US during WWII, so the men could serve at "the front" instead of being "back home" Fifinella, with her colorful uniform and swept back wings, stands as one of the WASP Program’s most iconic emblems. But just who or what exactly is Fifinella? Originally drawn in 1942, Fifinella was a Gremlin, a creation of the famed British Author Roald Dahl. Dahl was not the originator of the Gremlin as a concept, but his work gave these mischievous little creatures an identity, as well as names, and characteristics. Fifinella became a part of the WASP identity which continues to this day. The earliest print references to Gremlins are among Royal Air Force flight crews stationed across the Middle East and India in the 1920s. These creatures were similar to imps in that they were interested in dismantling or damaging machinery with impressive mechanical skill, and were used by pilots to explain away unusual occurrences during a flight. Oil pressure gauge having intermittent issues? Must be a Gremlin! Dahl, himself a pilot in the Royal Air Force, was well familiar with the myth, and when an accident rendered him unable to fly, he began writing The Gremlins to distract himself from his injuries. He created a stunning narrative, about the little people who sabotage RAF aircraft. In the story, we find out that the Gremlins are motivated to sabotage RAF aircraft because their traditional forest home was bulldozed to make way for an aircraft factory. After they destroy his Hawker Hurricane, we see the main character, Gus, convince the Gremlins to join forces with the RAF against the Nazis, their common enemy. Fifinella, as she appeared in the illustrated book, The Gremlins. In this narrative, we are also introduced to the Gremlin’s children, known as Widgets (male) and Fibbertigibbets (female), but perhaps most importantly, this is where we meet the Gremlin’s wives – known as Fifinellas. These female Gremlins are often shown caring for the young, but also take to the skies alongside the others in defense of their home. Dahl’s story became a huge hit; Random House published 50,000 copies for the US Market early in 1943, even First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt had a copy which she loved to read to her Grandchildren. It was also serialized in the popular magazine Cosmopolitan. Disney even intended to make a film, having worked with Dahl on character development for The Gremlins. However, the film was shelved when Disney, who loved the story, realized that there were Copyright issues emanating from the involvement of the British Air Ministry. However, the artwork Disney had prepared for The Gremlins would have a life beyond a shelved film project. At the time, Disney received regular requests to use their characters in unit patches across the world, and with the debut of The Gremlins book, the impish creatures began to feature in the requests. One such request was received from a group of female aviators in Texas who asked if they could use Fifinella as their mascot. Disney agreed and Fifinella’s association with the WASP program began. Her part in the heart and soul of the WASP lives on through today.

Any ideas on which has the best optics?
