I've set up LOCKON channel on S/6 site http://stage6.divx.com/LOCKON I'll upload (I hope all) community made videos there. Suggestions are welcomed. There's small forum you can use there. Give the original makers of these videos some credits by adding comments to them. By doing this you make LockOn and our great movie makers famous, and you also raise channel's karma points :) Enjoy new high quality video database! :pilotfly:

I would like to propose an inter-squad match up, a sort of Operation Red Flag or Combine Air Exercise. The point of this would get the squads to know each other and improve the community camaraderie. What I am proposing is a series of missions each with a BlueFOR and RedFOR. Each squad sends three members or four members to fly in each mission. TEAMS: Teams will be determined before the exercise starts. Please let me know how many pilots you want to dedicate to the exercise, but ensure you will be able to staff those positions come mission day. Please also let me know what aircraft you wish to fly, so for example: Our squad wishes to dedicate 4 pilots to Fighter wing, 4 pilots to strike wing. Our Fighter pilots fly the F-15 and our strike pilots fly the A-10, whatever the case may be. We will be preserving NATO vs Warsaw as much as possible. Determinations on whether smaller countries (i.e. Germany and the mig-29) are Warsaw or NATO will depend on the number of pilots and squads we have apply. MISSION BUILDING: Each Squad will get the opportunity to build one mission. This will allow us to sample each other’s building skills. It will also change it up a little bit and keep one person or squad from having an all knowing participation through the whole exercise. SCORING: Numbers will be tallied from each mission and we will put together a grading rubric that factors loss and kill ratios. It will be different for Strike Wing and Air Wing Pilots. SIGN UP: Please post here if your squad is interested. The length of the exercise will be dictated by the number of squads that are interested. SERVERS: If you’re willing to host please let me know. This is a "rough draft" of an idea, so let me know what you guys think: S! :joystick:

I agree with the 29 is under- or overmodelled in some flight characteristics but its not serious i think. I think that in Lomac the Flanker beat it too easily in dogifght. About RL: Check out this video (20MB) and look at the acceleration from 1.4 to 2 mach. MiG-29UB. I like this video, hope you'll too. Thanks to Sucu! VIDEO

I would suggest additing some ROE's to test skill levels as well. For example, require the aircraft to return to their bases (this will force people to manage fuel while fighting and not dump their gas for a BFM advantage). Also, put in a hard deck that you can't fly below .. .just suggestions.
