Concluding a business trip, I was driving back home to Alabama today from Roanoke, Virginia. About 30 miles south of the Roanoke area, I saw a jet flying around 400 feet off the deck. Twin tail, duel engine. What really caught my eye, as this thing was moving across my field of view extremely quickly, was that the engine intakes appeared to be under the wings.... ding ding ding.... SU-27 or MiG-29. About a second later, another object caught my eye. This one was unmistakable: F-15E at high speed, tilted right which showed some of it's inderside (bare pylons), about 100 feet lower than the first aircraft. The engine rip was sweet, sweet music :thumbup: Now, my question is this: Is there a MiG-29 or SU-27 in or area the Virginia or DC area or was I mistaken? I was at a stop sign and couldn't grab my camera fast enough, but I am 75% positive the engine intakes were on the enderside of the first aircraft.

ага :)

I Agree. Not a big surprise - since the Beta came Check it: Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C Beta\Scripts\Common\EagleFMPlugin.lua (same in v1.1.1.1) Who doesn't know: FM = Flight Model ;) wsType_Level4 = { A_10C = 58, -- A-10C MI_8MT = 151, -- Mč-8ĚŇ. Đîńńč˙/Óęđŕčíŕ MI_24W = 152, -- Mč-24B. Đîńńč˙/Óęđŕčíŕ KA_50 = 155, -- Ka-50. Đîńńč˙ } FMPlugin = { [wsType_Level4.MI_8MT] = {name = "Mi8.dll"}, [wsType_Level4.MI_24W] = {name = "Mi24.dll"}, [wsType_Level4.KA_50] = {name = "Ka50.dll"}, [wsType_Level4.A_10C] = {name = "A10.dll"},

Open the trk in winrar and delete the track and track_data folders within. Nate

Why so much love for the F-14? Really? I mean, what meaningful engagements did it EVER conduct to justify "legend" status. Is it simply the fact that it's retired that makes it a legend? I would actually argue that it's retired status is more of a black mark on it than a plus; it was retired because there was no need for it. After all, the F-15 only entered service a few years later, and it's still in service. And the F-15 to date has, what, 104 aerial kills? And produced a top-notch strike variant. And they're STILL keeping it in service and in production. The Tomcat has a record of 5:0. 2 Su-22 Fitters, 2 MiG-23s, and an Mi-8. I'm not certain the ratio of bombs delivered by F-15E vs F-14D, but I'd wager a SUBSTANTIAL part of my life savings that the F-15E blows the Tomcat away there, too. So the Tomcat is so beloved because, what, it starred in a vaguely homoerotic Tom Cruise bromance flick? Wait, what? You would say the P-51 is just a "Warbird", despite thousands of sorties over occupied Europe and Imperial Japan, despite hundreds of kills, despite active CAS employment in Korea? And yet the F-14's whopping three aerial engagements qualify it as a "Legend"? Wow. I really hope that was sarcasm.... I mean, I don't particularly like the F/A-18 (the A-D in particular), but I can at least understand why others might be interested in it; it has broad multi-role capabilities, and is used by numerous nations. .....though it's combat record isn't any better.

Look in my sig... I use the LEDs to indicate the current curve. It's not on different layers at the moment but cycled using the pinky paddle + S1, but you could easily change that.

Срочно нужны пилоты: - Су-25(Адлер) в группу 310-го; - 2 Су-25(Краснодар) в группу DW. Тренировка 29 марта (20.30-22.30), международная встреча 31 марта. http://forum.rusfalcons.ru/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=123&p=1963#p1963

The sounds of other spacecraft are simulated by the audio computer to enhance situational awareness of the pilot. Also to wake up command by buzzing the tower! Oh, and I discovered while fighting a cap ship that my wing men where strafing around by using the glide mechanic that the Arrows have. Now I am fighting like the Babylon 5 fighters! Should make it easier to conserve fuel, shoot down missiles, etc. Just afterburn to 1400, glide and set it off. Cant wait to fly the Excalibur of the old WC3 days.

@Impact: Yes, the feeling is quite different. Actually I personally dislike the Hellcat and I don't like the Longbow that much either. Arrow and Thunderbolt are my favourites to fly, although the Excalibur is the über-fighter in the game. @Crunch: Well, I'll explain it anyway because it is easy to explain: It is a game, not a simulator. Sound is there for more fun. The same goes for fake-airplane-like-behavior instead of realistic physics and a lot more things. :D @MagnumHB: Thanks for your comment, it is always nice to hear from other gamers that they like our game. We put a lot of work in it. :) I was surprised as well when I saw this thread, I wouldn't have thought that there would be enough gamers in the simulation community who like that sort of game that someone dares to open a thread here. After all the game has not much to do with simulations, as you all know. :D Regards Aginor

Next update:

Hi there! Just wanted to tell everybody who is interested in the project that the game was released yesterday. btw: I am part of the Saga team and I can tell you we are completely blown away that there are so many people outside the hardcore Wing Commander fan community who actually want to play such a game. Since yesterday there were already several ten thousand downloads from our different mirror sites. This is great. :) visit wcsaga.com for more details on where to get the game. Regards Aginor
