My view of what a SIM, like LOMAC should be, apparently does not coincide with everyones notion of what they want it to be VS what it should be. Before 3D graphics were possible on PC's we were bombarded by our own imagination of what it could be like if we could strap ourselves into a fighter and do what real pilots would do. Then 286's 386's, AMIGAS came along and their improved-- if still limited capabilities--allowed programers to aim at something inspired by military simulations at a smaller scale. The Public wanted more and so the hardware improved. Increasingly sofisticated technology gave the mere mortal the chance that only real military pilots could in giant dome buildings with smoke an mirrors. 15 years later I aquire LOMAC and I sense more and more that despite advances we seased to search for realism and return to the most basics of entertaining, just shooting stuff arround, without much care about realism. I say this due to several things: -A)People dont care much that there are obvious exploits if its there as an option thats going to save your neck in an emergency like an incoming missile you wouldnt dodge otherwise -B) People want to do the most things they can think off with a slow moving CAS aircraft like attacking latest GEN destroyer with Iron bombs. -C)people want to stick with the same tactic in AA combat even if its complete sci-fi that would get you killed IRL everytime. -D) people dont like any player with another aircraft to have any decisive advantage in either weapons or radar, or SA even if theres such a difference in real aircraft. So what do you want in a SIM?

How did you make your assessment about "most people here"? I read the chart very differently. "And using tactics that don't work in r/l is a bunch of crap." I consider you are stopping immediately playing Lockon then, since it forces you all along to use tactics that do not work at all IRL? This is not only the case in A2A, but even more so in A2G. Or do you know the secret of having chat over radio with GROUND FAC's in Lockon? In my view this will be the utter paradox of BS: flying low and dirty over inhabited land, with no troops to talk to. At least, in classic Lockon A2A + teamspeak you can have some radio chatter.

Better than Hot Rocks

"Lock On : Predatory Potato Beetle" would sell millions.

Let's clarify some stuff: You just need to see pixels size of width and height, resolution is a field related to printing or monitor resolution but it's not referred to the size, it can have any value in your case that makes no difference if you keep your desired pixel size. Resize before you edit and use bicubic method. If you scale up a bmp, pixelated image is normal, less if you scale down. Not pixelated if you have vector image. Still problems?

I don´t know if you have it, I just found her tonight in a collections of suposed to be the best photos. Enjoy www.flanker-argentina.com.ar/F-22A_Raptor_Flying_Over_Virginia.jpg
