    Raptor and other fighter types

    I will for now take on some info about the Raptor here is detailed info here However in this topic I want to correct the ones saying that flying an modern jet is easier than WW2's. I have past squad experience from an F-22 sim, in the end I ruled the air and earned my nickname but before that, I was an target, and flying target to the others. Tactics play an important part and the newest technology is a darn if you don't know how to use it. Total Air War had an option to give you thrust vectoring whenever you wanted by pressing an key above TAB. This pic is from the sim I once played, if you got it, don't look for servers they are all down. The MiG-42 is however the F-22 Counter part but it is only 2 prototypes of it. I will look after some pics of it Maybe this... I saw a pic long time ago but it was not from this angle. Now please comment no start with better ones just facts and performance, no flaming...

    I must confess

    on OPF. But I have paid for my sins now. Yesterday I bought the gold pack and I hope we can forgive here. I live by this rule: If you want me to threat you nicely, threat me nicely. BIS did this by making this great game, and everytime I played the piracy version I felt sick! Now I have been playing the orgianl V 1.30 but I still haven't had my troubles solved I will upgrade to 1.46 and see if they reslove then but if they don't i'm out of luck I hope you mods read my rule and can forgive, I have to tell about this and In return I will get resistance as soon as that slow shop can get it in. Sorry BIS but I hope that my sins has been paid. there are nothing left from the piracy version on my HD. Thank you for hearing me out, it's your move soldiers, I have played my cards.

And for all those who lost loved ones in this shooting incident, I am truly sorry for your loss. But guns simply aren't the problem.<span id='postcolor'> I'm from Holland where guns are banned altogether (apart from hunting shotguns for few selected animal'control' hunters). I don't know this story about someone rampaging in Oz with an AK but my question is: why the hell should civilians be allowed to have automatic weapons? I mean hunting rifles and stuff sure. But it's not like hunters (imho nobody else needs to have firearms, apart law enforcement..) wanna perforate animals with 99999 RPM of lead?<span id='postcolor'> Problem is, they didn't just ban semi-auto's (full automatics have never been legal in Australia, it was a semi-auto version he used). At the first the ban was just semi-auto centrefire's, then it spread to semi-auto rimfires and shotguns, and now it's virtually impossible to own anything more than an air rifle without a wad of paperwork and a goddamn high-security pass. Besides, while upright citizens have almost no access to firearms, the criminal underworld will never be restricted by legal bans. Anyway, my main concern isn't the ban on weapons itself, but more the governments reasons and they way the steamrollered the democratic process to do it. Quote: A state where only police have guns in called a "Police-state". Â <span id='postcolor'> well mr Fubar you got a point. Take Oslo for example. Gunning and killing every weekend and for that weapons are being banned. But if you know where in Oslo you can buy a FN MAG on the street everything from Light Machine guns to lighter pistols... And what does we sport shooters get? well a hel we can't have anything while thoose who use it the other way around they get their guns anyways.

    Opf trouble at it's worst!

    My Flashpoint renders almost unplayable Look here in my sucky host Theese is proof of my problems. Some of theese has happened in the same game. Can I fix this or must I uninstall OPF? I have a RIVA TNT that renders me unable to go higher on versions also lower. I'm planning a power pack for christmas but if I can't play OPF it is a waste of disk space and I must delete it and install it on my new PC to try it. Was this Normal in V 1.20? The spikes should also have a looking at. Images are some above 100kb and I don't have a host that allows hotlinking. This is a major problem it has accured in other games as well. In Counter-strike I see enemies due to one of thoose spikes that pop out... In OPF even the roads jump up and down. If I sat in a tank during the mission I would win since both the enemy infantery dies of the jumping. Please can I fix this? I need to have more than a 5 minute OPF each day which is how the situation is now. And it worsenss, soon the intro's will be done the same way and I can't see a thing due to spikes.

In Oslo and Norway they are making gun laws even more strict and for sport shooters like me who only blows away beer cans we loose our hobby and the fun. But thoose who use the gun the other way shows up with LAW's and M-249 as well as SPAS-12's theese guns was used in the gang war beetween Hell Angels and Bandidos. And then we have to pay and they go on the street and buy theese guns and uses them.... When it comes to the sniper I say he must be hunted down... Treat him the army way, send a helo after him or mortar him or use professional snipers to take him down, This cannot be allowed to continiue. He moves away after the kill and even if the cops do get a barricaded sniper he can pick them off pending on rifle and his skill but I think he can.

    The sniper saga

    It's time to call Army special op and put a sniper on him like in 'Nam and that story about the super sniper who took a private vendetta against US. This man is mad or he's a former sniper i suppose or he has played too much Delta Force or IGI. I don't know my men, but leaving a such card that is a proof of madness in my oppinion.
