We are in intense high level negotiations for the Flag/Falcon exchange.

I fully believe he is from Beijing. Could he become the first Combatsim Falcon regular from the People's Republic of China? Who can say.

I hope he doesn't get irked with my preemptive strikes on those Su-27 bases though...

Burner, hey, aren't those bases in North Korea? Or do they take place deeper into enemy territory as the campaign progresses? I'm still at Day1, having only restarted my campaign after a long break.

Those bases are north of the Yalu river. Mainland China my friend. Probably the very same bases that McArthur wanted to take out before the entry of the Chinese into the Korean War.

I decided to leave the Re: I Need A Falcon 4 Manual post area after it started getting um.. er.. interesting. Interesting in a very bad way.

Anyway, I think an international trade is a great idea. I hope it works out OK for all parties involved.

Yeah, that was just pretty disgusting. I can get ill tempered, but that is just foul spirited bile.

Hi Hellburner,
Yeah, it's like it turned into a giant race war or something. It was weird. I hope we didn't scare Nicholas away from the forum. I am beginning to believe he was the real victim in this whole thing.

Man, you're not kidding. I almost wanted to boycott the site for a bit, but I suppose there is no point to that. That's why I posted that "Smack talk" post. I kind of feel sorry for the guy: it's no wonder the West has such a bad international-relations reputation if that's the general tone of things. And talk about hypocrisy, sheesh!

Bloody racists. I know there's freedom of speech and all, but I honestly think that this is one area that *doesn't* apply.

If things are getting *that* ugly in there, then perhaps the admins could step in with a few friendly pieces of advice, like 'keep it up and I'll contact your ISP'.

Most ISP's will probably listen to sites as big as this when ppl are being abusive on them. Most of their terms and conditions mention that the user isn't allowed to use the service for abusive purposes - I think this counts.

HB, if the deal collapses, tell Nick I'm willing to trade with too. In my case, I'd prefer an authentic Chinese 5-2 Abacus (13-15 register) for a $20 copy of F-4.

Good luck to both!

Well guys, after reading the posts about the manual and bigited stuff I let Nicolas know that not all Americans are that way and I'm sending a manual at my cost. I am ashamed at what I read on this forum. It has been sent out. I think some apologys are in order. I know that there are some of you out there that I would not fly with, and you call yourselves pilots!! Pilots are made of a better class of people then I'm seeing here. You know who you are!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I don't want to make any trouble here. I'm sorry if I did. My only purpose is to make Falcon people understand my position.
As for any other deals such as Jane's F/A-18, thanks anyway, but I don't think it is necessary. EA has an office stationed in Beijing and it works well. I can contact it to get Jane's Combat Sim products. However, Microprose doesn't have such an office, neither an agent for it. So I have to look for help here.
Anyway, thanks for your support or interest you paid.

Hellburner,
I'd like to make the deal you offered. Before I send out the national flag I have to consult my lawyer and our National Flag Law. I've never read that law since it was released. I think you don't want me to violate it, right? As I figure it, sending a national flag abroad is no difficult. But I must wait the confirmation from my lawyer. Just be patient, ok?
As for your strike on our airbase, frankly speaking, I don't like it. What's your feeling when you get to know that one of the most important USAF airbases has been striked? May I ask you to stop? I know that China does not occupy a favored position in many Americans' mind. But China is my motherland anyway.

Don't worry about it Nicholas. You didn't cause any problems at all. That fell to others.

So Reich, you think of yourself as being Asian then? And Nicholas is not Asian? Because, you piece of **** , you are the one who's not welcome.
I'm not a violent person but I'd give anything to smash your face into a bloody pulp you shitbag.
That goes the same for SAM. You both are made of quality less than that of dogshit.

I apologize to anyone else, other than these two, if they have been offended by what I have just said.

Hey guys, maybe Reich is some person who is having fun stirring the pot. We call them "whirlpools" 'cause the like to agitate for fun. If his fun is our anger, then let's change that and ignore him.

Frankly guys, I am not bothered in the least by intellectually-challenged people, if I can even call them that, that do not understand black humour or ANY form of humour in ANY manner. We have to be a more tolerant society remember? Colour is the last thing on our minds other than the camouflage paint scheme on our next F4 skin.
