The BBC had a line-up of contenders for the role, but its pretty much everyone who has ever worked in British television over the past few years so not overly helpful...

Oh, thats what they were! I thought it was the Nazca lines at first... I don't have a PS4 so other versions would be awesome but I can't see it happening anytime soon. Might just have to re-join the Bond villians favourite electronic company camp again...

Just to avoid any potential cross-Atlantic confusion from that trailer, "chips" = "french fries". Except traditional English chips are generally somewhat chunkier than french fries, which are also sold here as "french fries". In keeping with this nominative straightforwardness, in the UK what Americans usually refer to as "chips" are called "crisps". Clear? (we'll try and avoid the whole "cookie/biscuit" controversy).

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII

Is that why they call it "Fullback"...? Israeli F-16 and F-35; interesting missile load-out on the -16... -
Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
F-ZeroOne replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I know that the South Africans got a computer-controlled rudder onto their Cheetahs, but I always imagined replacing the entire FCS would be a fairly major job on a (sort of) legacy bird. -
Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
F-ZeroOne replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Psst... wanna buy some Typhoons...? Going... well, not cheap, but... Hang on - that article also says that the F-15 is getting a fly-by-wire control system? Really? Thats the first I've heard of that one... -
Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
F-ZeroOne replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I had to look up B-57; forgot it was the US version of the Canberra. For a moment I read it as "B-58", which would have been all kinds of even more awesome. -
Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
F-ZeroOne replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Time for a pet peeve about the "Civilisation VI" introduction; as its only been released this morning (and I haven't even played it myself yet), and I know how super-sensitive spoilers can be, just as a precaution aircraft nerdiness follows behind spoiler tags: -

Y'know, it says something about the AV-98s design that it still holds up pretty well today. I mean, it was the 90s, it doesn't even have any day-glo on it...

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
F-ZeroOne replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
A previous poster wondered if A-10s would still have been in service if the A-7F had gone ahead; I took the opportunity to make an allusion to a certain other aircraft which has also been compared to the A-10 recently... -
Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
F-ZeroOne replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
A-7F still wouldn't have been chosen over the A-10 because as we know it didn't have a big enough gun, 3,000 rounds of ammunition, actually had avionics and was far, far too fast. If it also had RCS reduction features than that would have been the absolutely final nail in the coffin. -

Ah, the same air-to-air missiles they used in "Blue Thunder", the ones that can take out the whole floor of a tower block by themselves... ...wait a minute, in that second clip, is that music from an "Ace Combat" game?!! Spanish guitar?!!!!: -

According to Wikipedia, although they initially offered it they later pulled out due to changing requirements; apparently they would now need a clean sheet design to meet the new programme goals. -

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
F-ZeroOne replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I guess Meteors best bet is that its more-or-less an "off-the-shelf" solution, possibly more so if they get that Japanese AESA seeker head thats been mooted. I'm not sure off the top of my head how it compares to a Raytehon offering, which I presume would be a variant of AMRAAM? -
