I mean the support for 7 will go on for some time, if the support for XP is any indication. I understand and agree with your sentiment though, but i suspect Start8 is not the end of what Stardoc

[quote who="Uvah" reply="58" id="3100123"] Remember the Gremlin? Tiny jet that hooked up to a mothership, B-36 I think it was. Ugly little sucker.[/quote] You mean the Goblin? Yeah weird little thing, interesting concept though. I love the B-36 though, it's sheer size at the time it was developed must have been a huge nightmare for the designers/builders. Speaking of ugly though, [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2yzoMt6etc[/video] [quote who="Uvah" r

You sure Jafo??? The Skyray was a few years before the F-100, and it could achieve it in level flight.

[quote who="Uvah" reply="49" id="3100019"]First I'm hearing of a plane going SOS that early in the war. The Germans had some pretty good equipment and in some respects were years ahead of the rest of the world.[/quote] I'm being rather technical. Note, i never said "plane". :p [spoiler]V2 rocket in 1942 broke mach 3 i believe. First time anything went supersonic.[/spoiler] [quote who="Uvah" reply="51" id="3100055"]Wasn't the first supersonic jet the F-10

LOL If anyone sees this get released or gets a hint on price, please post back here, i'll do the same! :)

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="47" id="3100000"]The Me-262 got really nailed on landing and to a lesser extent the Komet did too. [/quote] Ahh your quite correct, it was the 262 i was thinking of, in regards to landing, the komet was the one giving the pilots back issues. Still no takers on what went SOS in '42?

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="45" id="3099964"]Yes--rocket powered but before jets were really perfected and combat operational.[/quote] This is true. [quote who="Sinperium" reply="45" id="3099964"]The survival rates of experienced pilots was so low [/quote] Yes, but wasn't the bulk of deaths, or at least a good portion, upon landing, what were they thinking using skids. I know alot were shot down on approach to landing too, easy pickings. I was thinking ab

Thats rocket powered though. Stands to reason it may have got close or broke through.

I don't like spending a great deal on games for my i devices, since they are often play and forget, so a few bucks here or there is ok. I only tend to play them when lounging in front of the TV...

Nice! This might be something to look into, both your screenshots look amazing!

I havent used a flight sim in a while. the last one i really got into was F-15 Strike Eagke II and that was a miroprose release on the Amiga! I prefer combat flight sims, but nothing ive looked at these days suits me, i'd want FSX but combat. Are there many mods for FSX Jafo?

Not that i have heard. As far as i know the only way to edit a save is to hex edit it, and good luck with that!!

Yeah, i may buy it, I didn't check out it's price, but i'll get for the ipad, if it's cheap.

[quote who="Uvah" reply="33" id="3099556"]One thing that always got my curiosity going the Gloster Meteor. Twin engine jet yet, though it was a contemporary it, to my knowledge never saw combat. Always wondered how it would stack up against an ME-262.[/quote] Well.....Not combat in the sense you mean. they were used to screen london for the V1 and the V2 and did saw some air to ground stuff, but never air to air.

Dont think it's the spawn of the marriage between GalCiv and SINS? Meh, no problem (my ip theft thing was a joke :p) just appears heavily influenced by SD is all.

Oh, i loved the P-38, it's looks alone are enough!!! My favortite WWII planes, in no order.. Spitfire...(a bit of a cliche to say that these days, since everyone liked 'em, but w/e) P-51 Lanc P-40 (close to my fav) Bristol Beaufighter Edit - How could i forget the F4U!!! I have two of these, one resin the other a limited edition die cast one, that remains boxed!

No offense taken, just pointing out that's a topic that *could* easily offend. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [quote who="Uvah" reply="26" id="3099438"]P-47's were great! Originally, watch jafo correct me, they were supposed to be fighters but were better suited to ground support. Big, bulky but packed a helluva punch.[/quote] They were still exceptional fighters, bit more short range than a long range escort plane. The P-51 replaced them on long range runs, but for short to

[quote who="Uvah" reply="21" id="3099106"]My best was a collection planes from the Wright Bros. Kittyhawk up to Jafo's favorite, the F-105. They were 72nd. scale and at one time I had 100 of them hanging from the ceiling in my room. [/quote] I didn't have that many, mainly cause i focused on bombers. I had at one time an enitre wing of B-52's hanging, with no room for any else, except a lone F-4D i snuck in there. (Phantom being one of my favs) [quote who="Uvah" reply="2
