that reminds me of one particular early sim-flight game .... a long long time ago ...Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:How about a squadron of Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes for the RSAF in the air superiority role? I can definitely see certain tactical advantages: upon encountering them in a dogfight, the enemy with their high-tech supersonic jet fighters wouldn't know how to handle something that old and slow. They'd be high-speed-stalling and going into irrecoverable flat spins while attempting to outmaneuver the slower and nimbler prop-driven fighters.
The dogfight would be over without a single shot being fired by the RSAF fighters!

The introduction of the first version of Microshaft's Combat Flight Simulator spawned a number of third-party utilities that allowed players to construct fighters using "skins" that didn't have to be matched up to the corresponding flight models.Originally posted by Fatum:that reminds me of one particular early sim-flight game .... a long long time ago ...

I managed to "construct" a Cessna 150 with the flight model of an F16. Ever seen a 150 take off, go vertical and climb to 30,000 feet in two minutes? -
its funny that my colleague told me yesterday.
'its a rule, that we cannot have all our "lam pa ji"s back in singapore.'
i asked 'why not?'
'then our friends up there will be asking, you want to go to war ah?' -
anyway, from what i heard... we're just buying into the JSF program. not buying the aircraft.

The one frustrating about Malaysia, is that it has every potential to put it self in the same economic position as SG. But they dont make use of whateevr stuff they have. Things gave way to poor planning, corruption and bumiputra policy, which is clearly failing, no matter its noble aims.Originally posted by Fatum:did evergreen quietly move back to Singapore already ? .... -

yes indeed ... corruption is one thing, but the biggest handicap is the bumi policy ... other than benefiting just a small group of fat cats, it's also causing a massive talent outflow ....Originally posted by laurence82:The one frustrating about Malaysia, is that it has every potential to put it self in the same economic position as SG.
