Hawker Tempest MK V

Well, according to the rules, multiple threads on the same subject are, like frowned upon..

 & how 'bout an answer to the query?

 Y'now, rather than needless bio-posting..
 or other extraneous what-not..

Dude...I was three years old last time this thread was on the front page 

I was busy playing the GOTY 1999 "Homeworld"

If I recall correctly, the Tempest in AH does 386mph on the deck.

[J.A.W.]

Appreciate the affirmative responses, thanks..

Too bad.. its a bit - unrealistically - slow..

What about the Vne? Got 540mph IAS @ 10,000ft?

i don't think the one in ah has the sabre 2b engine in it...the specifics may be in another discussion somewhere on these boards.

[J.A.W.]

I keep getting surprised by the idea that my on-line flying career is much longer than the ages of many of todays players.

It still wierds me out a little when I find players who've been playing Flight/Combat flight Sims longer than I've been on this planet o.O

pffft we all know your 43 red. The rouse is up

[J.A.W.]

Alright everybody.. so.. party like its 1999..

& when was that 'Last Starfighter'  video-flight-sim movie released..or was it Tron?

Anyway, this bloody post has lasted as long as.. the 'thousand year Reich'..

The Millenium was awesome, I was 14 and already punishing my liver. 

GTA London 1969, Driver, SWAT3, Rollercoaster Tycoon and Baldur's Gate were fun that year.



I was flying on Microsoft Combat Flight sim that was released a year earlier

Holycrap, I forgot all about the song they made just for HW1!

Now I just want Gearbox to use the IP they got, make Homeworld 1 with new graphics and a few SMALL changes they used in Cata and HW2 (and not stuff it up!). I will even replay all the missions even if they are 100% identical to the first.

1. I want to micro manage my fighters! Don't place them in groups of 5 that can regen "free" ships as long as 2-3 can dock.
2. Free Camera movement from 2.
3. Don't add "tracking heavy weapons" and not allow both missiles/beams/guns on the same ship below dreadnought or battlecruiser class. I hated how heavy guns in Cata could render all your fighters useless after the plasma shot was researched!
4. No Warp gates. That is what your Hyperspace generator is for.
