Also remember Slamelov that you'll only get anything recorded if on the mission you either ejected or landed; in other words if you managed to shoot fown 5 aircraft and destroyed 3 tanks, and you just click on "Quit" when you press escape, you'll lose everything for that mission, remember either eject (not the best choice) or land and THEN you'll get all the credit for what happened on the mission. Hopes this clarifies slome of the confution. Take care

Nope... the most fuel eficient way to travel is between 26000 (to avoid contrail) and 33000 feet. While lower the engine is more efficient but the bigger is the drag. Increasing to high altitudes the drag decreases much faster than the loss of efficiency, added to the fact that high altitude thin air requires much faster speeds for the same amount of oxygen flow for the burn, and since you wont go any faster than your usual cruise speed- typicaly around mach 0.8-0.9 - it also means you get lower specific consumsumption despite what the loss of engine efficiency might compell you to think. This is why airliners fly at high altitudes and not sea skimming...

Ragtag. Sorry, but this (whether 1.2 will have Starforce) has been discussed in a previous thread and that poster got a similar response. And as BritGliderPilot pointed out in that thread: Those with Starforce problems are in the minority..... And those of that minority who've actually ASKED for help have usually had their problems sorted out, either by Starforce, ED or with the help of the forum members. The whole Starforce thing has been totally blown out of all proportion. I'm sorry, like it or not, that's a fact. And I'm afraid that it's been rehashed so many times that it's got to the stage where a statement like you just made is greeted with derrision,simply because folks are fed up of having to repeat the same information and debunk the same myths over and over again. It may not be fair, but I'm afraid that's the fault of other people who've gone out of their way to exagerate the issues. You've just reaped what others have sewn. Afterall, if Starforce WAS as bad as it's been painted, I really doubt so many of us would be commenting on how much we've enjoyed Flaming Cliffs. And the poll results above certainly wouldn't have 81% (at the moment) saying that, without question or regard to Starforce they'll be buying it. To be quite honest, I'd normally have reponded to a statement like you made (if I responded at all) in a similar manner to Wolverine. But after noticing your post count and registration date, I just thought that maybe you missed the Starforce debate when it was at it's worst on these forums. You're obviously entitled to your opinion. But with my experiences with Starforce protected products, IMHO you'll be depriving yourself what looks like it's going to be another excellent add on to the LOMAC series.
