Sameer,
I have a S4 and the game is repeatedly force-stopping and restarting.
I have closed bulk of my apps on the phone and still the same result.

I noticed that specifically, when I fly low(below 1000 ft), the hang is more prominent.
Do you have the link for the PC version by any chance?

From 18mins onwards, this is IAF talking about LCA. If I may summarize what the slide says: I am sorry, "summarize what the slide says" !!!!! Whom are you trying to fool you have typed in almost word by word what the slide has and you are saying "summarized" :roll: Looking at th...

Jamie Boscardin

Sanku da, They are directly dependent on each other. The IAF determines whether the LCA is the best in class fighter, after evaluating it. As it stands, the number of issues with the LCA is so high that unless they are addressed, they are determined to move on. Till it proves its mettle to the IAF, ...

Jamie Boscardin

So what exactly are you guys arguing about? My argument is less with LCA and the principle of using quantity to substitute for quality in the Chinese way. On that topic I cant even think why LCA is being talked in the same breath as shitty Mig 19 clones that populated the suicidal AF of PLA. LCA is...

Jamie Boscardin

I agree, I think this is a unwanted wild goose chase!

Jamie Boscardin

This boxing match needs to continue. Its I guess IAF's way of saying that "we are not the culprits". If we are the customer- We need to be given "what we asked for" and the indigenous OEM needs to surpass our expectations consistently, in the same way IAF is supposed to consisten...

Well..after 3 defeats and the entire population of TSP awaiting endlessly to try one more time to prove that they are sons of their mothers!..I would assume that they would enter the war. If uncle or russi's so far have not done anything to stop the war between the two super-powers, then they wouldn...

Before this episode broke out, I never had even heard about this channel "chauthiduniya". VKS is upto something very very concrete, its a big kudos to him for whatever he has in his mind and should be in the larger interest of the nation. Why I say so, is coz if he had anything dirty on hi...

Jamie Boscardin

The funny thing is that I am NOT being sarcastic. The low salary being offered for highly technical job like GTRE Director is idiotic. Me and wife are working at mid level in mid level professional (non -engineering) work for mid level companies in thirties and taking home Rs 50L each pre annum. Ou...

Jamie Boscardin

Don't underestimate Pak's military ambitions,as the country is run by the military.See how they negated our lead in N-weapons and missile tech through covert assistance from Beijing and NoKo? beijing will continue to give thme eevrything they need to counter India's modernisation and expansion and ...

Jamie Boscardin

We all are frustrated at the lack of information from ADA about LCA, now take another example: LM's F-35's recent "transparent" report that there is a arrester-hook problem which would probably mean major redesigning of some parts, thus inidicating delays..Guess what Britain starts thinkin...

Jamie Boscardin

they 'were' amateur, after all they were doing it for the first time. it's obvious they would tend to follow IAF's ASR blindly. it was IAF's duty to do the hand holding, like how navy did with the shipyards, not hang it out to dry. Sorry, in this case the shoe is on the another foot. If they were a...

Jamie Boscardin

For once I will toe Philip's line, its the worst central government and worst example of PM and his team doing a pathetic job continuously and consistently. Never vote for UPA ever again is my 2012 vow. On one hand the entire government ministers and congress party were veraciously arguing during th...

Jamie Boscardin

^^ That's exactly what I was saying sometime back. Its going to be really tough to get this deal "Green flagged" from the finance ministry, with the current political environment + rupee's slide towards 60 + fiscal deficit at 5.5% (overshooting by more than 1%) and FDI inflows drying up. H...

Jamie Boscardin

Is there any other source other then our Russian comrade to comment on the financial aspect of the deal? You don't need any american/chinese/pakistani/russian to comment on the financial aspect. A calculator, general knowledge and eye for detail is should generally see one through.[/quote] My calcu...

Jamie Boscardin

Actually IAF needs it. The Chief already told us that he expects the decision to be there by 2 weeks. It's a question of "whether you have the means to get what you want"? A nightmarish scenario, where-in the rupee keeps on sliding, GOI overshooting its own fiscal targets substantially, o...

Jamie Boscardin

If we cancel 126 MMRCA, we'll have to still acquire 126 or more fighter from somewhere else in desired time...if Indigenous effort is not placed at that level to meet it here and there...Then the decision should be pragmatic, knowing in long term it'll be all the same... I still think Eurobirds are...

Jamie Boscardin

^^ Shiv, I believe there was a reason they deployed the SU30's to try and identify the possible location of the wreckage both in case of YSR and AP CM. My question was basically to know: 1. What capabilities the SU's have for which they are been advertised and used for these kind of mission. Assumin...

Gumjum Haider, secretary general of North East Students Organisation (NESO), said the failure of the IAF’s most advanced fighter aircraft Sukhoi, Army, ITBP and IRSO’s satellite services had exposed the true state of Indian security agencies. “With such incapable forces, we are not safe. If tomorro...

Bull shit !!! What stupid rulebook? What the heck "cant accept any limitation (due to CISMOA) on ToT? What crap? Cant you just see that the great strategic partnership between the two biggest deocracies of the world which are natural partners is more important than all these stupid rulebooks &...

Shankar da, Cant you complete your earlier scenario? that was some serious stuff going on there and everyone was hooked. You ...

Jamie Boscardin

On the MMRCA been scrapped!, there is an outside chance that it happens as the Air Chief mentioned. Buy EF, other contenders will go to court and say, the selected ac should have operational AESA as stated by IAF (by 2013 and not 2015 as the intended goal for EF AESA). Buy Rafael, MOF, Saab, Mig wil...

Jamie Boscardin

the facts are there in my posts. its a 1650km ROA vs 340 nm, its a 125 KN engine vs a 90 KN one, its 4.5 tonnes vs 2.5 tonnes meaningful payload, its an endurance of 2-30 vs 1-30 hrs, its aesa now against aesa later, its about A-A, A-G, ARM, LACM, etc against future capabilities. at the same price....

Jamie Boscardin

Yes and once youre done singing 'Rang De Basanti', please wake up and face the reality. The IAF needs competitive aircrafts NOW. Not when the LCA is FOC-stage, not when Mk2 is FOC-stage - both, not expected, anytime soon. Not even mentioning the AMCA or FGFA. .... SidGupta, can you pls justify if t...

Maybe F-16IN is a superior plane. Maybe it is a better plane. This may also apply to F/A-18. But pray tell me one thing, what will prevent America from handing over the keys to defeat F-16IN to pakistan. None. And this question has been raised because in the past the americans have handed over to p...

Wen, You will not stop your S*, so here's something for you to remember. The reason Indian's are called a sleeping giant (elephant) etc is coz we have always been a carefree society with million problems of our own and therefore a very high tolerance level. This was PAST! This gen of Indians are det...

The "The Trigger Happy Shooting from the hip CIA-Diplomat" incident. But then againt its hardly an incident!!!. BTW the talk is of cutting aid and not ties. In times like this Khan finds Dictators much easier to handle. They are not cutting any ties any time soon. Porkis and ties?? They a...

If folks tend to the Gripen, their wallets and brains should actually say Tejas. :) Am sure the French would be happy to sell us the Rafale and turn around and sell avionics to the Porkis. Nothing to say the others won't, but... The point for Gripen is simple. There are and will be 3 major decision...

Jamie Boscardin

A mathematical argument of this kind will always support 'cheaper' aircraft since it assumes that both aircrafts have similar combat effectiveness. Because on cost alone, the MiG35 wins hands down. Flyaway cost of Mig35 is surely the ideal L1, but not when you count the life-cycle cost. IMHO, the w...

Dileep Saar, Thanks a ton for this remarkable story and I hope that you continue to give this kind of shock and awe stories all your life and mesmerize your readers.

China's 5the Gen Aircraft (probably named -CHIPAK), surely seems to be again another attempt at PR, both from PRC(for their physo ops) and for US and its allies to make a bigger threat perception so as to get lot of industrial activity done and to win allies. As of now, china is not capable of doing...

chinese tech is definitely better - their firecrackers emit more fire, kill people (all worthy heroes in the 'long' march to progress) and seem to deviate even before the tail clears the launch tower itself :eek: very brahmosish, from before brahmos was born...
