    I see, thanks for the clarification. Checked the Tomcat in game again, and it does appear to have the correct control surface animations, where the spoilers are only used during low speed manoeuvres, and only the tailplanes are used at high speeds, so it appears they got that right.

    The Tomcat model in 7 is the F-14D, so no glove vanes. That said, could you elaborate on how 7 gets the primary roll controls and nozzle movements wrong? I'm not much of an expert on the Tomcat.

    There is one shot, in the first cinematic where Avril is flying her F-104C where they portray vapour cones forming, but it never shows up in-game.

    Your airplane detaching drop tanks at the start of some missions was a nice touch too, and I'm still baffled why Project Aces seems to have forgotten about the existence of vapour cones after the PS2 era games.

    Some neat usage of live flight data used in advertising for British Airways. https://twitter.com/mathew1tbooth/status/1131534179362070530

    I'm glad they buffed the TLS now. It feels somewhat usable instead of the glorified flashlight it was on release.

    https://twitter.com/ShuzilowHA/status/1128525368569110528 I've been hearing some good things about Bean Bandit, now that the rough cut has been shown at AnimeCentral.

    John wrecking goons with the semi-auto shotgun was some of the most impressive gunhandling in a Hollywood movie I've seen in a while. Seeing him shuck fresh shells into the tube 2 at time with lightning speed was exhilarating.

    Slightly disappointing, I'd love to see them expand on some of the infantry and armor of the NUNS sometime. Makes sense, those EX-Gear rifles dealt with the Macross Galaxy cybernetically enhanced spies and Vajra decently enough, if I remember correctly.

    Is there any clarification in background materials on small arms in the Macross universe? From what I've seen, despite the massive advances in tech, actual firearm tech doesn't seem to have progressed much. Mirage is still using a Walther PPK in 2067, surely they'd have found a better way to design a small handgun by then.

    As far as I know, as of now the F-35's internal bay racks aren't capable of accepting Sidewinders. When an F-35 is equipped with an AIM-9, its on an external hardpoint.

    Pretty interesting. I agree that a Macross 7 sequel would be cool, especially if Kawamori brings his A game this time.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDWTjEKucrI New Ghost Recon game announced. I hope they try to stop the Ubisoftisms and try to stay more to the roots of the franchise.

    There is a DARPA program called PCAS (Persistent Close Air Support) that was supposed to use an optionally manned A-10, but I believe they dropped that idea and just stuck to normal, human controlled aircraft.

    New weapon rack being developed for the F-35 that'll allow it to carry x3 AIM-120 per weapons bay instead of the current 2. https://seapowermagazine.org/lockheed-develops-rack-to-make-f-35a-c-a-six-shooter/

    No VF-0A or Sv.51? Seems like Zero aint all that popular over in Japan.

    The US Air Force has issued an RFI for new-build F-5 parts after failing to source surplus parts for the ROCAF F-5 fleet. https://www.janes.com/article/88184/us-seeks-to-restart-parts-manufacture-for-taiwan-f-5s

    Who is this movie even made for?
  21. AN/ALQ128
    Definitely beats out a pink flamingo or some gnomes in terms of lawn ornamentation.

    Neat seeing how the TLS evolved from a gigantic externally mounted pod to a tiny little thing carried internally.

    I actually found the interview I was thinking about, lost in my maze of bookmarks. https://karice.wordpress.com/2016/08/14/p518/#more-11821 "However, when it comes to a new Macross series, the first thing we have to decide upon is how to resolve the major conflict through music. Each time, I ask the producers if we can leave out the element of singing (chuckles). But the answer is always “No way!” (chuckles). I also ask if I can drop the triangle, and similarly, I get a “Nope, can’t do that either!” (chuckles)." "Honestly, if I could only drop one of them, everything would be so much easier. But with regards to Macross F, the order I received was to “Make it like the original.”

    I also remember reading an interview where Kawamori said he tried to do a Macross with some of those elements removed, but the producers insisted on keeping them in.
