Yeah this really surprised me last night - saw the news story go up while in a bar with coworkers and everyone got really silent. Hope he was comfortable. EDIT: We all took a look at this later on - it is the source of several of the quotes writers and broadcasters are referencing in their...

Punch and pie! :D The 8 ball is most definitely right, especially if Dund is at the helm.

I've had that happen - not with Paktahns per se, but I've certainly lost a few joysticks in the heat of battle...

That always bothered me just because the line drawing seemed so accurate compared to other games at the time - it was a shame the number was *off* in comparison to it. Speaking of "stingers" - I still love the cutscene where the 'Claw heads towards the Kilrathi planet guns blazing from the...

Feel better and get back to the flightline ASAP. Nothing worse than being scrubbed from a mission! ;) I think LOAF's analogy sounds right to me in terms of visualizing the various armament. That helps in the other thread about the battlegroup escort requirements too - most carriers only have...

Absolute best of luck - keep visiting and keep fighting...

Wow, these are beautiful - well done! Are these available for sale?

I find the way the article is written is interesting - a neat window into the industry at that time. Funny that there's no mention of who created the game or what the background is at all.

I think rather than armor here we should instead focus on fighter complement. Concordia then, in that instance, would be considered more of a carrier than a battleship designed for close in combat so the purpose of armor differs a bit. Carriers often DID operate alone or with minimal escort in...

Still can't believe the insane wing flex on the 787. Chris, in that shot you posted where it's flying next to the 747, the wing flex almost matches the curved line of paint on the side of the fuselage! As an aside, is it bad to admit I'm turned on by the Dreamliner's slick empennage? Re: 737 -...

I think this is good reasoning. The Tiger's Claw was a strike carrier and the Concordia was a dreadnaught, so it stands to reason they would both be more survivable in combat environments than the Victory. But I also think there's more to this - keep in mind that at least in game (WCII) the...

Am I allowed to pop some bubbly in this cockpit? I mean, if some champagne is poured and Tolwyn isn't around to see it, did it break a reg?

I have been following the progress of the Dreamliner for some time now. Very happy to see it has started to be delivered. In some sense, however, I am even more excited about the new versions of the 747 being considered/produced! Talk about an airframe plan form that just keeps giving.

Have to admire the effort - the results speak for themselves.

If WC is 21, that means I'm...I'm... <sigh> uggghh.

"Sorcerer of Death." I like that almost as much as the fact an exact tail number is given. I think someone needs to bring this particular Broadsword to life in Flash White, or maybe in all prototype natural metal finish!

At the risk of sounding sacrilegious, I'm not sure that would be a *bad* thing. With the power of all the new gaming consoles out there, a Star Fox style game could be so much more than the original SF concept. Done right, with perhaps a mix of 'on rails' with '3d' environments, I could see it...

Ugh, really?

Heh, start with your SF-86 and we'll all go from there!

Hmm, I'll really have to check again. Each time I've tried to get SM to work it's ended in failure. I really tried in earnest 3 years ago or so to find the SM add ons in floppies, but I obviously failed in that attempt.
