and there hasnt been a single answer about this so far. I screened through Googles to find something simillar: I put terms like: screenshot screenmovies ingame record sequence, but got only non related stuff. I know that my old Lotus tools had something that worked, at least for games that worked windowed with windows. I try to find whether Lotus is still offering it!

One of my bests friends went here those are soldiers equipped and trained for fighting in the mountains just like partisans. They are often considered as an elite-troop and you should be pretty physically fit to go there. I had only two problems. I am neither an aristocrat (good if you want to chose special units) nor did I have to go the army (I am the third son, I am not asked for service). I would have enjoyed it! Â I in good condition up in the mountains, I have proven that many times in Switzerland:(

those things are very tasty if prepared the german way. You should have given them to the germans and let them perpare it. They would have had to wash the dishes and do the preparations while you just enjoy a good meal. I mean with cranberry sauce and dumplings or simply like a Sauerbraten with raisins....mmmmmmmmm! Ca sera delicieuse!

Â the other national groups start joining the discussion .... 5 minutes after . the wood became a real boxing ring , and while we were fighting , the serbs were gone with the mortars and two of our boars .. the night was falling , it was 8 o'clock , we all of a common d"ecision wanted to chase the bastards who stole us our meat and who took back their mortar .. but our HQ's were really wanting to see us back at the bases to admonest us really hardly because of our bad conduct on the field ..... we all seperated and reformed our respective patrol groups and went back to our bases , the result afaik was punitions such as cleaning the WC during an entire week and doing all the stupid and boring stuff you could do ... the "rear logistic personnel" was on "hollyday" for an entire week , and we had to take back the hunting weapons to their respective owners and make public excuses for our bad conduct , we were all like little boys playing outside<span id='postcolor'> And they tell us "Join the army", there you learn discipline, self-control and following orders" YEAH RIGHT

You forgot a little detail Mr. Denoir, that is the deep friendship of the french and the Jugoslaw of the coalition-war of 1919 of Romania against Hungary in the Banat and the coalition of WW1. France was accused by many sides as being pro-Serb bias. That is of course pure bullxxxx but france didnt realy want to rush into the attack and therefore slightly delayed the intervention. We all know that a slitghly late intervention can cost many Muslims' lifes. But that is not the issue of this topic

Do you guys know of anything like that? Best thing would be an R/C hummer with an engine and moveable/working Mk-19 Grenade launcher that fires plastic BB's or something <span id='postcolor'> they are in fact a lot cooler but there are quite a few arguments against it. First of all you must know about motors to properly work with it. It sounds so easy because they are so small but no, it can get complicated. Secondly the construction suddenly becomes more important than the style of the model. because a real motor has quite a lot of power. Thirdly, they are dangerous for amateurs, especially the planes. whenever my brother had a problem with his plane that thing came down like a kamikaze and would have killed anything in its way  (was a Messerschmidt ME-109 with 1.6m width). Last but not least they are forbidden. There are only few lakes in Germany where you are allowed to use motor-boats. They a freaky noisy and stir up nature. The cars with a motor are realy cool and not so tough to build. But then again you need a special course. The cars are too fast for driving on a public straight road cause after 2 seconds they will be so far away that you could see them no longer. The only thing I can say is dont underestimate the power of the electric motors. It is no surprise that so many prefer the electric solutions. But it all depends. videoclip 700kb on a RC submarine German U-boat with pressure vessel

basically the same gas as you use for refilling lighters. This keeps the boat going for around 30 minutes, that is more than a battery.

So what is the undisputable best sound mod addon?
Albert Schweitzer replied to syco's topic in ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
it is the sound of the Leopard from the BW-Mod. That tank in full speed makes my subwoover grow in size! Â But besides that it is Battlesound 1.0! -
Yes, I DID THAT A LOT! When I was young I built several speed-boats and my my pride is a Steamboat. I mean I didnt equip it with a steam-engine but it has those paddlewheels. It looks somewhat like this one but is british one called Glasgow, they are not so kitschy and painted black, red and white, also bigger and sink deeper into the water. My model is around 1.2m and terribly heavy because I had to put weights into it. And then I have a version of the African Queen with a Real Steam Engine. That thing is not so easy to build and if you make a mistake it burns down (just kidding). The steam engine itself costs around 250 Euro and that is not too much. It works with 2 cylindres and gas (same as you use for a lighter). I was surprised, that thing has quite some power. The picture bellow shows exactly the same engine I used to have, maybe a bit more advanced.

The chechen womans didn't have a shower for mounths.<span id='postcolor'> THis is way of seeing things is what I call communistic leftovers; the russians were never good at seeing their own behaviour critically. But I dont blame it on them but on their historical education. One indicator for this is that Stalin's grave is still glorified and has its place in the centre of beautiful Moscow. What do you think, why dont we germans create a big propaganda-tomb for Hitler? In terms of cruelties against humanity the two were quite competitive. Same with Eastern Germans, after the war fell they were easily accessible to (Nazi) propaganda cause they grew up with (communistic) propaganda and never learned to see things critically and interpret the circumstances of history themselves. In russia nothing has changed, and I am pretty sad to see that officers being charged for "cruel rape and murder of young girls" were found not guilty from the russian court because of the political pressure. I am considering russia as one of the greatest problem zones right now and I am realy not amused!

All i did was back up why the Russians are getting attacked in their homeland and why the USA had 9/11!! Number one if you go and invade countries like Chechnya and kill/rape people there, you have to reap what you have sewn! Same with USA! They bomb Baghdad and kill 200,000 people on the Highway of Death and then expect to walk away with out any reprecussions? One of you said "2 wrongs dont make a right" Well get Russia and USA/Israel to practice that theory!! I do not support any one dying and killed, but if you want to live by the sword you die by the sword! <span id='postcolor'> Well those two lack comparability. The US may also have caused casualties but that rather unintended whereas russia is calculating this as a "screening" method, kill the young civillians you definetly hit one of the other potential figther. I wouldnt even compare the russian ways of the dealing with Tschechnyia with those of Israel. The power of surpression is simillar but Israeli soldiers probably dont rape and comitt sadistic crimes as the russians do. TO me Chechnians are Resistance fighters, some may be terorists but not all. I am seriously dissapointed by the russians and shocked by their brutality. So I hope the russian soldiers withdraw.

I worked on my dissertation now from 8 oclock in the morning till 3am at night, you dont seriously expect me to read 7 pages do you?

Ran, I dont want to give that topic a political taste, but France was in fact the major country preventing military actions agaisnt Milosevic. But we discussed that already...was it this year? or the year before?

This has nothing to do with Stunts To answer your question: I dont know! I just notice one thing. I wanted to choose map Desert and put all vehicules of operation flashpoint on the ground and take a screenshot from the air. But hell I got so many addons it is incredible. You could cover more than half of the island just with vehicules and planes. But once I put all I had into my addons folder the game could no longer "memory-map" the sound files. So my advise is, rename the addon files and give them the name of the vehicule (I hope that works) cause othewise you will have a problem later on find those you no longer want to have!

Okay, it cannot always work, but I will make this bastard pay every penny for this car. It was a Mister Bean original!

mandatory? hell no? Since when is Air-brushing realy affordable for hobby-modelers. Maybe since around 12-13years. But I know quite a lot of very impressive models from before that time. It is important for such things as showing mud and rust...but anything else can also be done with an ordinary brush. Well, that is my opinion..

Good to see the West now have some threats againts their jets. <span id='postcolor'> SO GODDAMN TRUE. I am anoyed that not even a group of shilkas, planes and choppers are capable to face three F14's. I am realy angry that I cant put the planes into a mission cause they are just tooooooooo strong. From now on modelling for west should be forbidden

I mean who hasnt done that yet? When I was young we students always gave that to each other as birthday presents (cheap and entertaining). Maybe you shouldnt take that too serious. Of course you can do it with paintbrush but do you realy want to go for top-notch? In every modelling shop you get little tins with "perfect" colors and with a tiny brush you can pre-paint the parts before glueing them together. I assure you it realy still looks great. I never did tanks but mostly planes. One thing is important though! You need a realy good knife, very fine brushes and "GOOD" glue. There are so many cheap chinese glues out that that dont work and only make the plastic melt to pie. But besides that it is fun. And dont be toooooo eager to be the best from first model onwards.

in germany all people paid by the government are not allowed to go on strike. They gotta sign that before entering into a work-relationship! Oh, great...then I wouldnt propose you start playing with matches.

What is your favorite newly released game?
Albert Schweitzer replied to USMC Sniper's topic in OFFTOPIC
I played the demo and I must admit it realy is funny. I was hiding behind a corner and heard those female ninja guards talking about where to go shopping next. But that again is a tunnel game. You dont have the freedom to do what you want...you must follow the intended pattern or you are not advancing. -
Why so man people like to play wwii games anyway?
Albert Schweitzer replied to skibei_neko's topic in OFFTOPIC
Cause it was the war of stereotypes. On the one side the total black evil and on the other the liberators. Why do people like to watch Star-wars? No seriously, because it was the last real big war. I mean when was the last time opponents with such a fire-power faced each other? When was the last time so many soldiers were involved in great battles? The touch of historical authenticity (well at least the symbols on the tanks) may be a motivator for you to play through history with an WWII game. -
What is your favorite newly released game?
Albert Schweitzer replied to USMC Sniper's topic in OFFTOPIC
what about the option: NONE? I think no game right now is worth purchasing since there has not been a single revolutionary idea put into them. Maybe a bit creativity but that is about it...thanks..wait for the next ones. -
