Well ****** me! I always thought FS2004 was a bit primitive in the graphics department :eek:, just shows how wrong I was. I’m ordering it now, should tide me over until I re-motherboard the computer into an awesome gaming rig so I can support FSX (my puny 256mb ATi X600 just isn’t upto the task, although it should king FS2004)

Thanks again. 😉

Mighty fine screenshots chaps, most impressive, so impressive that I’m considering flying airliners myself ( Lock On: Flaming Cliffs and IL-2:1946 junkie at present.) However, may I just ask which version of FS you are using? :confused:

Cheers, Mike

There was a 30mm revolver cannon under development in the mid 1990’s by Royal Ordnance to fit to the Harrier GR.5/GR.7 fleet, but the programme was cancelled. I’d say the lack of a gunpod for the Harrier fleet is just another example of the sheer treasonous lunacy and political penny-pinching madness inflicted upon the armed forces by repeated inept government’s in this country over the last decade or so.

Now if I remember correctly doesn’t the C-701 have an optional optical seeker. That would make a lot more sense in this case, I don’t think activating a surface search and tracking radar for an ashm in that part of the world with all the IAF electronic warfare and SEAD assets in the area.

Indeed,the C-701 as built in China comes in 3 distinct and delicious flavours, TV/electro-optical, IR imaging and millimetric band radar. I’d imagine that the Kowsar also comes in the same variety of seekers, with the TV or IR version being the natural choice for a guerilla force like Hezbollah that might not have access to surface search maritime radar.

I’d also find the use of a C-802 hard to swallow as well, I’d have thought that barring any kind of malfunction,that the Hanit would have been blown to pieces if hit with the C-802’s 165 kg HE warhead.

I thought it could have been part of a defensive system, as I recall El Al are supposed to be fitting the BAE NEMESIS to their fleet, if I remember correctly……….

Well, the pilots seem nice enough when their aircraft taxi past the viewing park…

Indeed,as I recall,taxiing to the gate at Sanford,the flight engineer came over the tannoy

“Ladies and Gentlemen,we have arrived at Sanford and should be at the gate shortly, It’s (can’t quite remember now) local time, but the bad news is that we’re due some rain…….the good news is though,we can go to the pub now, yippppppeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Boy that made me laugh

If this did come to pass, which just isn’t likely IMO,and the US couldn’t find a way to get involved directly,then I’d imagine they’d support the Dutch in any other way they could, such as basing rights, transports,tankers,AWACS, satellite imagery etc…………

In short,it’d be a surefire way for Chavez to get his military to take a hammering

Thanks God I booked with a credit card (see signature below)! We’ve used Delta quite alot over the years and it’d be a shame to see my favourite airline go under after all these years
