    Oh this is just battle zone! Thanks Keebler! I have like five different versions of this already, and I am always keeping an eye out for the original stand up arcade machine on craigslist. It's one of my fav video games of all time, but they hardly ever show up in my area. (oh yeah one of my hobbies is restoring classic arcade machines.... if I ever disappear around here, then there would probably be a good chance I got zapped disconnecting an anode cap!)

    EDIT: I should probably mention, don't ever mess with something that puts out 10,000 volts of electricity unless you know what you are doing! 10,000 volts shooting though the air, looks like one of those plasma balls... real pretty, but yeah... almost killed myself with that one.... really. Also, it can be a cheap hobby if you know what to buy.

    Haha! Your so funny Shern! No I'm not working on any arcade machine related projects at the moment! :) The dangerous part of them is working with the crt monitors, but that's only if your an idiot. I almost got myself after I had broken down a monitor, and I didn't put what is known as an anode cap back on right. It popped loose and I hadn't realized it. I turned the power on, had no picture, so I went to look in the back and whoa!!!! It didn't hit me at all, but I came within a few inches. I did get a good pop with a flyback transformer once.. those are very unlikely to stop your heart, but it did singe all the hair off my arm! I tell you the smell of ozone and burnt human hair..... lovely!. I don't work on monitors anymore after that shern, I have people in town that I know that do... so no worries! :) I haven't worked on one in about a year, I really don't have the time with a one year old :) I did build a touch screen jukebox though a few months back though out of an old ELO touch screen I picked up on Ebay for about $50.00 and some computer parts. I didn't document that build and I don't have any pics at the moment, but I did create what is called a "skin" for a program called Xlobby for it. I have about 60 hours of work in it actually! If you want to check it out, you can see it here! http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=93382.0


    Don't worry I'll make sure I give you a heads up next time I start a project buddy! I'm going to bed now because its late and I have to be at work in the morning! :)

    Guys, next update in FAST, all in apps purchase can be done using in game currency, talons. Looking forward for the next FAST update to check the economy system before considering to move back to FAST. I still prefer modern jet air combat than WW2.

    Mosquito,
    Does it cost much on oversea calling from Swiss to Romania? I'm thinking if u can call Revo Solution to find out what's wrong with their severs. We can't play online until now.

    I don't know how much it costs... but try it with email... I will put a message on facebook...


    Oh I see.. you have had the same idea... I'm not sure if this helps... If teir severs is down, the won't be able to read facebook. And they shouldn't read... they should fix the server..

    Orion, I remembered u complained about white mustang armor being easily shredded. I think u gonna have the same problem with the new mustang since the armor is not upgraded.

    New Tempest

    I just saw the new Tempest in single player skirmish mode. It's very cool looking! It's in grey+green camouflage skin. Very nice. I tried taking pics but I keep exiting the apps. Can someone try to take the picture?

    The only new plane I've not seen is the new FW190.

    Haha! I've finally seen the new FW190! Nice color too. It's blue+grey camouflage pattern with smtg red at the end of it's tail fin. But dang, I can't take a snapshot of it.

    Guys, since the online is down, u can go to single player skirmish mode and set the difficulty to easiest and set to 1 enemy. And keep quiting the game until u see the planes u want to see.

    Nope! Not an issue! The specks on the armor are the same, but for some reason, the new one is different and can take five times the beating than the last one! I have no idea why, but I am very curious about it.

    Really nice looking skin, Orion! You created all the graphics, buttons and icons and such from scratch?

    they should technically have a seperate server for their games and their internet....I would hope.

    either way, it's neat to see how many ppl are concerned and wondering what's up :)
