I tried it for a bit earlier today and it is indeed really fast. Also appears to follow web standards very well so I hope it takes a big chunk of IE's market share. I'll wait to see if it's anything I'll be using much though. Firefox plugins are just too good.

The new Gripen versions would most likely be E (single seater) and F (two seater), the N and DK are probably special versions for Norway and Denmark if they choose it.

Not flaming, just my honest opinion. If you can't make a competitive fan site, how would you be able to make the official one? Maybe you could start with that and if ED reeaaly like your work, maybe they'll be interested.

What's wrong with the current one? I also do web design (and print). No offense but the web design in your portfolio looks like typical 15-year-old-hobby-webdesigner work. (edit- I see you're 16)

It's an equally long drive if not longer to France. The airshow is in Czech Republic. Czech beer is great, wish I could go but I'm too busy with work and studying currently.

Looking at the list of F-16 operators, I think the one most likely to start a war if they had the F-35 is the US...

James Bond did it. :D

Make it fullscreen and turn up the sound. Some great footage in there and a timeline of the project. http://www.eurofighter.com/medialibrary/videodetails.asp?VideoID=4

Great video! Thanks!

Neither am I interested in any bf2-style ranking but the ability to export the list of events in xml format after a mission for squad statistics would be great (suggested here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=31532)

interesting, thanks kusch!

very sad.

I'm also a bit curious about what took so long to fix. Doubt it was the Georgia-Russia conflict. After they made it clear they didn't want more discussion about that subject I didn't see any new threads.

No I hadn't. Is that statistics for a server? The main point in my suggestion is that the squads would be able to store statistics about all their activity and display it in an integrated way on their website in sort of like member profiles for each squad member and a summary of the whole squads performance, etc. That also would not require them to play on one special server. edit- my suggestion probably works best for co-op in squads which have squadnights and play seriously one or two sessions a week, which is what I had in mind. server stats like those are probably better when playing other game types a little every now and then (more casual gaming) and want it saved by itself so you can check it later.

Not sure if anything similar has been discussed (or if you already have plans for it). Can't remember, maybe it has but I searched and couldn't find any. Anyway a feature for DCS that would be great is if you would be able to export the list of events from the debriefing into an xml file (or that it would be saved automatically with a settings on/off option). This would be especially useful for the squads. They could export the list and upload it to their website where a serverside script parses the xml, puts the information into a database or another xml document and then displays statistics for each squad member. Putting this in manually by hand would be very time-consuming. After the LO debriefing above, the squad member Pilot1 would have for example these statistics on the squad website: 1 sortie in the MiG-29A 1 enemy vehicle destroyed 1 enemy tank destroyed 2 enemy artillery destroyed 1 cannon burst fired 4 S-24 rockets fired 0 bombs dropped 1 ejection 1 crash 4 total weapons launched 4 sortie kills 4 total kills 0 total deaths 1 ejected & survived X takeoffs X landings X hit ratio etc, etc It would be great if other things could also be included such as start and end of sortie so that you can calculate total time on missions, etc. (all items may not need to be displayed in the in-game debriefing so it could be a very detailed list.) This is an easy thing to do but of course a little time is needed which ED may be short of currently. But for later modules, could this be a possibility? If this is implemented I'd be willing to make an open-source component for the community in asp.net/C# to parse the xml and save the information. Not sure about how widespread the use of asp.net is among the squads though, possibly I could make an online service that stores statistics for any squads that are interested which can then be fetched and displayed on their sites. On such a site statistics could also be compared between squads. Would there be any interest in this?

Why was that thread removed?

http://www.eurofighter.com/downloads/Kings%20of%20Swing_AFM.pdf It focuses more on details around it (green flag, training, pods, weapons, etc.) than the aircraft itself for the most part but it's still interesting and there are some nice photos.

The camo looks Czech but I'm not sure.

Here's more of that Mi-24 gun pod. Anyone have info on it? Is that one 12.7mm and two 7.62mm? And does all guns fire at once? Not many photos of it. Is it in service? By who? Widespread usage?

That's good to hear. I've got a 8800GTS 640mb and E6600 2.4ghz in my box. Maybe it's time to overclock the CPU and I shouldn't be too bad off.
