I would see if your monitor has a setting to display upside down, if so I would see if your monitor can conveniently be mounted upside down.

If your monitor doesn’t have the settings to display upside down then perhaps there is an add-on program that does

There was a gag program, that people used to use as a gag that would make your monitor display upside down. If you executed the program again and would display upright. This gag program would often be detected by antivirus software as malicious; even though it was just supposedly a prank program. I personally wouldn’t load anything that my antivirus programs flags; but perhaps you are more desperate and more software savvy.

I did a quick search and the only thing I was able to find was a game by the same name.

I have turned many computers and TV CRTs upside down to compensate for burn in and to allow more life to be milked out of burned in monitors. Some of the legacy computers and TV CRTs were designed to be flipped. I don’t know if the same is true for the new flat-panel displays.

However as I said some of the new flat-panel displays are designed so the entire monitor can be flipped.

The next short-term fix is slightly expensive: replace the monitor.

However it sounds like the only long-term solution is very expensive: replace the wife. 😉 However considering the channel that she is watching, it might be well worth it in savings. 😉

This post not only is sarcasm, it is also obviously in wrong thread because no matter how hard I look I don’t see a single Flanker fanatic here.

Be honest.

It is in the correct thread, as the facts clearly show several flanker fanatics have already posted here. It seems that no matter whether the thread is about the Euro fighter, Rafael, JSF, or the F-22 etc..; that the flanker fanatics will interject with their ridiculous attacks and claims (often derailing the threads into a urinary manure furball. A flanker Dingle Berry)

Many of the same flanker fanatics that are in this thread bashing the Euro fighter; are the same individuals that routinely bash other aircraft ( and stealth) while touting the flanker ( its derivatives) and sometimes even plasma stealth. 😉

Ok in the WVR arena what US fighter would have an advantage over a su27?

The F-22 pretty much across the board. And as others have pointed out under certain conditions/scenarios even other US aircraft may have advantages WVR.

I cannot believe that Typhoon supporters are living in such delusions that they can predict Flanker capabilities in decades to come

I think that is even more so true with flanker fanatics, like yourself. There is fanatical rhetoric from proponents of all aircraft and countries; however the flanker/Soviet fanatics seem to have the largest proportion (and most extreme) delusional and dishonest rhetoric.

What I find astonishingly common between many (not all) “Flanker-fanboys” is the obvious lack of serious knowledge on aircraft performance or any other relevant science for this issue.

I concur.

Lets see; a few milliwatts able to pop popcorn in just a few seconds, yet it takes my thousand watt microwave many seconds or minutes just to start popping a few kernels? It’s an obvious fake; using pseudoscience to feed off of peoples paranoia and naivety and tendency to stretch logic and truth.

It’s just an advertising scheme.

The company that sponsored or made the commercial admitted that it was fictional ( a staged/faked event) though at the time they would not completely elaborate. I suspect it is a superimposed video. I suspect that the video of popping popcorn is superimposed in front of the cell phones.

I’m sure that somebody, somewhere will believe what they see and use it as further evidence for the War on Radio Frequencies/big business/Jews.

I’ve heard some weird rumors that I don‘t even care to repeat because on the remote possibility they may be true. However I am skeptical of the existence of the Aurora. If we already have an Aurora in existence then why are we trying to develop technology that seems to be new for the “Blackswift”?

I once saw an interview with a British guy who was an expert on military aircraft (belive he worked for RAF) who claimed (backed up by a lot of co workers) that while working on an oil rig in the North sea in the late 1980s he once saw something really odd. A KC-135 refuling a completely triangular aircraft, flanked by two F-111. He swore on his life he hadnt seen anything like it before or since, and that he was 100% positive it wasnt a B-2.

Has anyone heard about this incident? And if so, do you know if this “mystery plane” was ever identified? (My guess it was some sort of A-12 Avenger prototype, or just a missidentification, a hoax, a lie, a…)

Sounds more like a F-117 Nighthawk. It started operational service in the early 80s and was opened up in the late 80s. But you never know ;).

After following this kind of discussions for more than a decade now and after seeing many of these “donut-on-a-rope” contrails over Europe I’m rather sure that these contrails build up under certain atmospheric conditions – by well-known, highflying planes.

I have even seen airliners do it from time to time.

I thought it was other way round, the Canadians spying on the US with their CP-140 auroras?

To be on the safe side I’ll do what we always do: Blame Canada! j/k

How often since WW2 has the ROE been so loose to admit shooting down unidentified aircraft?

But the keyword is might. BVR might work according to plan, it might not. Better plan for both.

How many times since WWII have we had an all out war or a mass attack? None. Yet consider Korean Air Lines Flight 007 and Flight 902. Even though they were WVR and Soviet kills.

it might be much cheaper and efficient to just make it difficult to see who you are.

That might work during peace time when the ROE is strict, however if there is an obvious attack or if it’s full-blown war; the ROE might suddenly change, and any UFO might be fair game.

These are big aircrafts and with next 10 year upgrades. they will be sufficiently capable of finding stealth aircrafts by own not to mention advancment in datalinks/IRST/EW etc. And u can potentially put longer range faster strike weopons on Flankers/Foxhound that can prempitevely destroy the airbases at much longer distance from where Stealth aircraft coming from….they have to be based at limited number of potential airbases and with Russian implementation of doctrine of permanent readiness any such threat will be premptively destroyed with advance adoption of IRBM/Cruise missiles.

As I said they are big lumbering juicy radar targets. Upgrading these legacy aircraft, they still will be big juicy radar targets.

It seems as if you are telling me that the next 10 year upgrades will give you the supernatural ability to predict the future; thusly preemptively destroy the F-22s on the ground.

If you have the ability to predict the future and are obsessed with long-range weapons, then there is no need for legacy aircraftl just use ICBMs.

Stealth aircrafts dont have intercontinental range.

Yes they do, you never heard of in-flight refueling? Do you think we sent the B-2 to Iraq on a carrier? Do you think that the F-22 was created up and shipped to Japan on a boat or on a train? :rolleyes:

The key is here to spend budget money on existing platforms as they give more flexiblity, can quickly be upgraded, piliot and maintaince are already trained on them. ur looking at year 2020 before first operational wing of F-35 can proper function all the air to ground functionality. that is too long time for tieing up so much investment in single project whose only defence is Stealth which is becoming dubious with passage of time.

It sounds like you want us to keep flying legacy aircraft so your legacy aircraft have a chance to keep up.
