I still don't get it? What? Heatshield's down? I don't get it...

I just Jizzed in My Pants ( )

No, but it can be a YF-2SS.... You know, Experimental?

And most models* in Flight Simulator X (All settings maxed) run 100K+. Some planes run in the 400K range** Lowest Poly model I recall from FSX was, I believe, 60K. *The pre-installed planes **Very high quality models with a lot of details.... I have the FS2004 VF-1S Valkyrie, and I believe its poly count is 90K. The FSX YF-19 is in the 100K Range. Poly counts run higher than you'd think, people. And a GPU doesn't have much to say in this. The GPU just processes the displayed portion of the model at any one time. The CPU processes the whole model, and inputs to the model's position, in relation to the viewpoint, and sends that data to the GPU for display. And, before I forget, I believe Marcus Fenix's cutscene model in Gears of War 2 runs 120K+. GTA IV often finds itself loading over 1 Million polys at once.

Just don't delete it, man.

Or is it a YF-2SS?

Even with hair dye, that's true... Ask my purple-haired grandma... (Raggle-fraggle... 62 years old with purple hair... )

Holy combo, he has both of them?!

Letigre brings up an interesting point I forgot to bring up... Its size does suggest Tactical Strike role, and it does place it alongside the F-111. Add to that its dual-seated cockpit, and we could have a radar operator or bomb controller, similar to current two-seaters today... Hm... VF-3000 Aardvark... It would explain the -3000B variant, as there was an FB-111... And it was never used... Like the VF-3000B... Therefore, this is a Variable F-15 with the soul of an F-111... I think it looks like a cross between an F-15, a Panavia Tornado, and a commercial VF-1. (Wonked-up nose)

$12.27's got a long story behind it. Don't worry 'bout it, man. Macross Plus: Movie Edition, eh? I never really thought that to be something that'd ever be fandubbed. I mean, with the OVA officially dubbed and all... Well, g'luck, man. (I never watched Movie Edition, but if the scene with the defense satelites is in it, a silly laser effect sucks in my opinion. There's an awesome sound effect from Star Wars Battlefront II that would own in its place. That's my piece of advice/request ) Man, I wish I could help man, but... I can't... I'd totally play the psychotic programmer at the Sharon Apple concert, or, even cooler, Yang... they fit my description pretty well, actually... Well, again, G'luck, Hik. I can't wait to see it when it's done... Summer 2009... If we survive the Zentraedi attack...

Damn... Good and bad news, I guess... My offer still stands: If I had a mic, I'd love to do a cannon fodder death scream...

I'm gonna guess on this one and say... 7 parts Future and 2 parts coloring? I don't do this kind of stuff, but that's my guess... Personally, I wanna see the canopy dyed orange... Or green... Or red...

Once again, March works fast...

Well, that cowl could remain affixed to the body, like on the VF-25... Or any VF that has the head on top... It doesn't have to do that. Though, I must say, I kinda like that. It just adds to the VF-4-ness...

Hot, two-seater crap! Good eye, man. I never woulda noticed that.

Something tells me it's no fun... A non-transforming Macross anything (Destroids and non-transformable vehicles excluded) is a useless one. That's why I don't have any Hasegawas...

Um, I got an extra ticket to the Sharon Apple Concert in 31 years...

This is not an AWACS plane. If it was, it'd be out of danger of getting into one. Since it's smaller, it's got to be in the thick of the battle. Look at the RVF-25. That thing can do it. Also, the smaller airframe is easier to get into those moves than an E-767. And for that matter, Variable Fighters find more combat in space where the drag created by the radome is no longer an issue, and if Gs were any issue, the thing wouldn't exist. And, don't make fun of my language. It angers me so. I never said, "we can't remove the nose radar." I said "There's no room in the nose." Look at a modern fighter jet. There is, literally, no space in the nose. The space, top to bottom, is about 1 and a half feet. This doesn't improve until you get to the cockpit, where it suddenly juts up. You lay down in that space for hours-long patrols, and tell me how you feel. Not to mention this thing's moving, and if it does get into a combat, high Gs, and transformation are only 2 more issues you'll face. This isn't a YF-21. The model may be, but the end result's a VF-22. The VF-22 has large parts in the cockpit. Beyond that, we hit the afforementioned issue. Space in the nosecone. Look at any 2-seater fighter jet and compare it to a single-seater variant of the same plane. This F-15, for example. That was computer equipment and fuel tank behind the pilot. No longer necessary. Besides that, how about your "smaller panel"? If we're using smaller equipment, one would certainly hope the computers are smaller. Put that in the nose, my friend. Not the copilot.

There's a hilarious line towards the end in this one. The video itself isn't Macross-related, but the afforementioned line is... F@#$ing hilarious in context. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jpKceZgmjE...laynext_from=PL

God damn it! I said "SCREW DIS WAR!" And, at some token, it is...

The nose-mounted operator's seat wouldn't work, realistically, anyway. The cockpit instruments would have to be removed, to make room. Not good. There's no room in the nose, anyway. To make a 2-seater, the fuselage is cut away a little at the back of the canopy, a lengthened and heightened canopy is added, and the computer equipment behind the pilot is replaced by less complex equipment and a seat, for the copilot. That's not any structural modification. Replacing all of the stuff in the nose is. Also, you try laying down in a high-g dogfight, in a claustrophobic space in a transforming giant robot. Not realistic, dude. Besides all of that, the Radar operator's ALWAYS in the back... *This is supposed to sound like a childish whine*

Hey, that's Cristina Vee's cover! That's on Hikuro's fandub of DYRL? DVD. Sweetness.

Well, by illegal, I meant "Illegal to own outside of Japan, due to HG" Piracy's not allowed in my collection, but illegal imports are... And most of my DVDs are Gundam, as well..
