I have a different problem with Priv 2. Whenever I install and run it, Priv 2 aborts with the message: Privateer 2 Fatal Error - cdromread - READ STATUS ERROR=ffff8103 then there is a bunch of ones and zeros then a line that says Wonga = 13500 Creds I had one problem installing, when...

I thought all his responses were funny.... BTW, Chris, that gun isn't "fancy", it's a piece of junk.

From what I could find a SU-27, the oldest model of the Flanker family is 35 million USD, while the SU-30 costs 33-45 million USD. This is significantly more than a 30 million dollar (US) F-15C, but alot less than the 361 million USD F-22.

What about it? Russia isn't even building it, even for export, and only two prototypes were build, then converted into SU-35s, of which Russia only has about one squadron. The SU-35 is about par with the F-15C, but outclassed by the F-22. What happened to the rough-field capability that...

Right, that's why their planes are consistantly the targets of US and Western fighters...

Mjr. Whoopass, you make some very good points. But I think that the F-104 was one of the first US fighters to carry the M-61 'Vulcan' gatling gun. This is probably the best gatling gun in the world, and has been in service for half of forever (the M2 .50 caliber being in service for forever) and...

We had our family cat, Smokey, for 16 years, until he died about a year ago. Still miss seeing him when I go home.

Crap. Now how am I supposed to finish that Airbus 380 I've been working on? Thanks alot for that information. I have never heard of either of those aircraft.

No, the Navy fixed the problems with the design and have taken delivery of the first operational Ospreys. VMM-263 is training to become the first operation Osprey squadron. It was extremely successful in the final evals in June 2005.

Well, judging from the amount of people in most of Cpl. Hades pictures, it is very much open to the public. Cpl. Hades, I have two questions. What is that unmanned aircraft in pictures P7220262 thru P7220272, and what is the aircraft in P7220303?

Yeah, I meant their ad motto. I personally think that it is better than the US Army's current ad slogan, which is still "Army of One". What kind of jet are the Red Arrows flying? I think it is a AlphaJet, but I am probably wrong, since AlphaJets are pretty old.

WOW! Those are some awesome pictures! I wish they had airshows that good where I live. You are truely a lucky man, Cpl. Hades. BTW, Is "Be the best" the motto of the British Army, or just that regiment?

I don't think it would ever have been in a Jane's book. Jane's is a world respected guide to any kind of equipment. If their is something you really need to know about a certain piece of equipment, pick up one of the 20 pound Jane's manuals at a library. They never speculate on anything, it's...

Yeah, but that was just a bunch of authors and others trying to make up a story. I think Tom Clancy and "Red Storm Rising" gave that rumor the biggest run.

I think you're thinking of the YF-17 Cobra. There never was a F-19. The YF-17 flew against the F-16, lost, then was selected off-the-shelf by the Navy for the F/A-18. There wasn't a competition for the contract of the F/A-18, the Navy just bought it. I'd like to see that picture, if you...

That's bound to happen, since the US has been selling military equipment to anti-Soviet governments and insurgencies (Yes, that included the taliban and good old Osama, back in the 1980's) for a very long time. So has almost every industial nations that produce weapons, it is a very good market...

No, I think Loaf is right, Fox Four is the fighter's cannon. As seen below. It doesn't say "Fox Four", but logically, pilots would use four to warn they are firing their cannon. http://www.tailhook.org/AVSLANG.htm#F

Thanks alot, Chris. Gives me a great place to start some research.

I have a question for the community, you all know alot about laptops. I need to get one in the next few weeks, and know nothing about the specs these days. My main requirements are: 1. It must be very tough, able to handle a few knocks, and alot of dust, for at least a year before cleaning...

Hey LeHah, I don't follow Star Trek much anymore. Who is that in the picture?
