"Peace is not our profession."


Fighting spirit one must have. Even if a man lacks some of the other qualifications, he can often make up for it in fighting spirit.
Brigadier General Robin Olds, USAF

There is nothing absolutely nothing, to describe what goes on inside a pilot's gut when he sees a SAM get airborne.
Commander Randy "Duke" Cunningham, USN

A-6A PIT FIX:
The A-6A may have had the DIANE pit mod inadvertently installed in it. To revert back to the stock A-6A cockpit, you can simply extract the stock cockpit files from the OBJECTS CAT yourself and make the correction, or contact support and we'll send you a zipped cockpit file.

Summer Tips

If your experiencing hot conditions in the area of your PC, make sure its turned off then remove the side cover for more ventilation. Get a small portable fan if possible. Keep your PC clean as possible, especially the cooling fans and grills, as they get dirty quickly.

Pick up a can of compressed air to get in those tight spots where the dust and dirt gather.
