Very good advice! If you can, go for the GTX560Ti. Even for about 30 more USD, it's very much worth it. Along with playing DCS A-10C Warthog well, it plays Crysis 2 like a charm and all the other games out there. If you want to save, go for the ASUS P67 Pro. It is more than enough for OCing. But if you would like a Sabertooth, that's also great. Also, if SSDs are too expensive, go for a HDD, 500 GB @ 7200 RPM. DO NOT go for the 5400 RPM ones, however inexpensive they are. For the most part, they will make wait times unbearable. And make sure to install DCS A-10C Warthog in the first 300 GB of the Hard Drive (Great advice from Ethereal :)). 750 GB if you like to make movies. Good Luck!

Yeah, lots of evidence that the F/A-18 is the next fighter. Check this thread out: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=70924

A very good dream, I should add! If only... but the dratted Hornet JUST HAD TO win over the hearts of pilots! The Eagle is left forgotten!

Very:). As stated from Pres. Obama: "After 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, [we] have served justice."

+1! I never thought of that! Ingenious! That's an awesome idea!

Ahhh... I suppose you are right! :D I let that much for the little Falcon here.

LOL! Me too! It's waaay too overused (No offense to any Falcon fans :P.) The poor 16 is just very.... common ground. Go Hornet!

Correct! I ran into a F-15 while checking my instruments! My bad! But, along with the un-stuck thing, I really think we should get a command to start engines automatically, like is BS. My small brain just can't handle it :).

They're superb, though, MIGAgressor! Very fine! 2048x2048, I should guess? And yes, I wish for a better Mirage too. The poor model needs an update :D.

Oh God! I can't ignore that now! +1! :)

Happy B-day! Many happy years of flying to come!

Thanks. I'm just really steamed now that I know that this was a big mess that was to trick me, and I bloated it. But thanks everyone, to make the clarifications. It means alot.

Nope. Not yet. It might be one of those intricate plots just to "fake their own suicide" on the internet.

I agree :(.

And it might not be a Typhoon loss.... WOW. I feel stupid now.... Ok. yeah. You guys are totally correct.... my mistake It could have totally been a faked thing that happens to all the time on the internet....

Hmm... you guys are probably right.... I'll check again If this was fake... I'll be mad..... to Sam and whatnot....

No. Of course not. Unless his sister was lying, which I doubt. But now that you bring it up.. it does sound suspicious. Perhaps he was flying a different aircraft. I assumed it would be a MiG-29, but I didn't do my homework, of course :(. Here was the exact email (Please, do refrain from spreading it.) BlakSharkDown98 Information Hello if you are reading this you are on the friends list of Sam Briggs (or BlakSharkDown)'s friend list. I am informing you that he was killed in an air combat patrol on the morning of 20th April 2011. His aircraft was shot down in Libya and he went down with the aircraft. His funeral will be held on the 2nd of May 2011 and if you knew him I would strongly suggest that you join us. The funeral will be held near Ramstein AFB where he was based. -Yours Sincerely( His Sister ) EDIT: Yes, Yes, sorry. He flies the Typhoon. My mistake.

Yeah.... Can't find any either. But Germany is in a joint effort with Italy against Gadhafi.

I'm a Vietnamese in the US :). My parents immigrated here.

Just last Wednesday (April 20, 2011), another plane went down over Libya while conducting air patrol. I heard about today, from one of my friend's sisters. My friend, Sam Briggs, an Ace in the German Luftwaffe, had been flying most likely CAP over the no-fly zone when his MiG-29 was shot down by a Libyan SAM. He didn't survive. Sam was 23, a great friend, creative, always making jokes and lovin' his MiG-29 (That was what attracted him to Lock On). Now that I see it in that way... I was pretty repulse to go flying again. Death is just a moment away... May he rest in peace... -Andrew (Revalence)

May you recover from your loss, Yuya. Nothing matches death in this world, not even the demise of Eagle Dynamics....

Eagle! :)

No need to say sorry Matt! Awesome video! I'm in total rapture from your flying! superb... in every video!

Haha right GGTharos! :)

Ahh! It's very good that you have joined the FC2 community! It's an awesome place for sure. My recommendations: Start on the Su-25! A must! The advanced flight model and (kinda) low performance will let you appreciate the high performance fighters in here. Choose between the Su-33 or the F-15. If you can operate the Su-33 fairly well, you can do the Su-27. The F-15 has advanced avionics and good maneuverability, but isn't good for close in dogfights against the 27. Plus, if you can fly the 27,33, the 29 is extremely easy. The A-10 is very enjoyable also, w/ a huge payload. Happy Flying! Cheers!
