I'm happy for USA, because Czech Republic has beaten Finland like a three-legged dog almost every year, this year the Canadians will have to do the job :P

I bought a Microsoft Sidewinder FF2 last fall and I have been very happy with it, and can recommend it to anyone looking for a basic joystick. OFP isn't much of a flight simulator, but I do fly MS FS 2004 frequently, and I've been very pleased with this stick. Reasonable price is a plus for this stick, but the throttle slider is a bit awkward. Also has a nice set of programmable buttons.

Agreed. Some people seem to form their opinions about nationalities according to video games, or suffer from an awfully bad sense of humour ;) The bomb looks very good - does it cause lag?

I'd have to say Heinz Guderian and Erich von Manstein. Both accomplished unbelievable feats in the eastern front during WWII. Both also had the balls to oppose Hitler. Manstein especially for his actions near Kharkov during spring 1943 (retook the city) and could have done a lot more if allowed. I have to mention Finnish Marshal C.G.E. Mannerheim too. I'm not that familiar with his particular military achievements, but he succeeded in uniting the Finns during WWII. Also kept his eyes open during 1939 and called Finnish reservists to additional rehearsals before the outbreak of the Winter War.

I think it was a TOS-1 instead of BM-series MRLS. Not sure though, correct me if I am wrong.

A good question. Let me point out that my sentence had the premodifier 'numbered' ...

21 now, 22 in August. Who admits not fitting into the numbered categories? ;)

Interesting, but what kind of missiles are missing? The article has a picture of an empty silo, but I don't think we are talking about that kind of missiles. On the other hand, anything is possible. I still doubt it: I think the picture is there just for the shock value.

In this context, NVA stands for National Volksarmee. For those of you that do not speak German, it means something like National People's Army.

Be quick now! I need to get this mod before I lose my Internet connection, which takes place in the beginning of February ... well, not really. I'm sure that the final product will be awesome, and whether the University likes it or not, their bandwidth will definitely be used for getting this mod :P

I mentioned this in the 1.95b release thread. The improved dogfighting seems to make the AI planes lose speed very quickly when they fly around each other. The F-18C does not crash that easily, but the MiG-21 goes down very quickly.

Hmm, after installing 1.95b AI pilots tend to crash very often while dogfighting. Basically, they lose too much speed and stall. I don't know whether this happens with normal OFP:Res, but it happened almost every time while running the FDFMOD. Despite this minor setback, it was a pleasure to see the FDFMOD F-18C launch AMRAAMs towards Su-25s that were performing a CAS mission ;)

AMD Athlon 2600+ XP 512 mb 400 mhz DDR Radeon 9600 PRO 256 mb KuDoz 7X/600-6A motherboard three HDs, adding up to 100 gb an ancient HP 8100i CDR-W MS Sidewinder FF2 Logitech Wingman Precision (for FIFA 2004) Nokia 447Zi Plus 17" Palm i705 When I started my computer this morning, I got an error message saying that my second slave hd had failed ... luckily the problem was resolved by simply booting the computer again. Should I start taking backups of the hd or could this just be a minor glitch that can be ignored? Also, do not buy Logitech Wingman Precision. It sucks, badly. Not enough buttons etc. Could anybody recommend me some other pad? I'd prefer something similar to a PS2 pad.

I also have a Radeon 9600 PRO with 256 megabytes of RAM. I was very frustrated when I tried to start OFP and got the exactly same error message. I also spent a lot of time messing around with different versions of Catalysts and DirectX settings. Nothing really helped. Now everything works perfectly, after updating to 1.94b and adding a -nomap parameter to your OFP shortcut. I'm sure you know how to do this, however, if you don't, there are lots of helpful people around here.

- Finish my BA thesis and earn the required credits at the university - Buy OFP 2 (If it comes out in 2004) - Move to a better apartment That's about it I don't usually make any resolutions but 2004 seems like a good year somehow ...

I agree. I have to shut down LO:MAC through alt-tab and ctrl+alt+del, because if I click exit in the game's main menu, it crashes my whole system. I feel like they hurried this one a little bit too much for the Christmas market ... Bring on the patches!

Sounds very impressive. I don't know has this been asked before, but is there a new island included in the modification? Cheers and keep up the good work!

Totally random. I tried to observe if there could be a certain pattern, but naw

Hello, After endless googling with no results, I decided I'd try to get some help from these forums. At the moment I am trying to fix my parents' computer. Nothing is really broken, but there is a very weird problem with text in different Windows applications: Sometimes some letters are lower than others. Basically it looks a bit something like this ... .. with the s-letter being a bit more up. The top of the letter is just above the line. This might be a bit confusing example, but at the moment I am unable to take a screenshot because I've forgotten my login/password for my www host  The computer is running Windows 2000 with SP4 installed. I've scanned the computer with Norton Antivirus and Ad-Aware, and they found nothing. Help would be appreciated. Cheers, cam0flage

Thanks for the reply, but I think it's not the fonts that are screwed, because it happens with a variety of fonts. I really hope I don't have to do a complete reinstallation of Windows, configuring the wireless network is quite a job for someone like me

I thought I'd never do this on these forums, makes me a bit sad, but ... BUMP!

Hmm, a good time to read some Wilfred Owen. The Frenchman, do you know what gas your grandfather was exposed to?

What is this? Another unannounced RHS project? *Drool*, FDF uses these also ...

Very impressive DeadMeatXM2. How do you get the F-4s to tag so nicely along each other?

Hah, that A-1 certainly has an interesting name. I'm sure most of the native English speakers on this forum recognize that fanny has different meaning in British and American english. This is what I learned on a lecture about the taboo vocabulary in English last week Moving on to a more subject that is more on topic: Has that Skyraider been renovated a lot? The paint looks surprisingly fresh. Well, it's a museum item but anyway ...
