  1. If you say it's that good Rick, then it's good enough for me. I've been real stingy on what's on my HD in the past few years with only the IL2 series and just recently Rome" Total War. Loved Aces of the Deep and Silent Hunter. Yes this type of sim is very different. More cerebral. I even got to the point of creating firing tables and got to the point where, with the use of a watch, shoot and kill periscope down. When I see it I'll get it (hear that Barry! I know you are lurking :) )

    It's just a matter of getting time to play this stuff. My priority is VMF-124.

  2. :thumbsup: Thanks Arch.

    Just to show that I can be even weirder than Schatten, the part that caught my eye was "new ground objects". :rolleyes:

    I'd get excited about the maps, but, unless things have changed, there'll be only 3. Two Murmansk and I forget what the PTO one is, but though it may be needed, it wan't anything I wanted.

    New FM? Well the one we have is fine, but sure I'll take. The prob is that new FM invariably starts a round of criticism envoking more patches. <_<

    100+ MB size ain't bad. We've had bigger. I'm somewhat suprised at that.

  3. Shoulda known mentiioning the Arrow would start something. :D

    But yep, costs had little to do with it.

    Hint: We lost the Arrow and got the Bomarc.

    The worst of it, is when Avro team disbanded.

    I still remember the little skit (Canadian Air Farce??) where Armstrong set foot on the moon and uttered "One small step for man, One large step for mankind" and then a hockey puck ricochets off his helmut. :lol:

  4. Poop. It'll end up going the way of the Avro Arrow. Then our engineers and scientists will end up states-side, probably at NASA, and next thing you know the Yanks will be crowing about being the 1st to set foot on Mars.

    Deja vous all over again. :(

  5. hmmmm interesting. I can usually open 2 windows but a 3rd usually jams things up. I do have a popup stopper, but Firefox seemed to have disabled it. I'll uninstal it and see if it helps. It had become ineffective anyway. The same story seems to be true for D/L accelerator.
