In the Options, under the Difficulty level, enable "Crash recovery". No. The only way to do this is joining the server one by one. Once the first pilot takes off, another one joins the mission. AFAIK you can't see the fuel hose. Other then that, everything's fine. Nah it was a pleasure. In advance. :D

Well, there is aparently one RuAF MiG-29S squadron capable of employing R-77s so you can't really say it was never there. A for KH-41, I agree. It should be removed. It just makes no sense.

You know what's sad? It takes ages for Eagle Dynamics to release a chopper sim, yet, during all this time, they didn't have time or will to introduce some avionics changes to the existing flyables. We're not asking huge changes, but some that could really make a difference, like the above mentioned F15C AG capability that obviously does exist IRL.

You see FF, this is what happens when you spread your wheed around. People see blinking lights when they're not supposed to.

Welcome to the Lockon.ru, Alex!:)

Between 15 sec intervals maybe, but you still have to maintain the lock all the way.

^^You've just exposed yourself to the whole Lockon.ru community as a nerd.:D

Where did u get that info from? I need to see your source!

Airframe is cool and everything BUT: 1. Is the radar powerfull enough? 2. Can it use AWACS datalinking? 3. What type of AA missiles can it employ? 4. ECM and ECCM countermeasures?

R-27EP? Never heard of that? Note, this is not R-27ER (cyrilic).

Can mods do something about Cool_t's exclamation marks? They'll pluck someones eyes out.

Your contact prolly got shot down or went really low, using terrain masking, or turned away ie. made a 180 degree turn..or, it was a UFO.

Sorry, my chinese is a bit rust, but I presume this is one of those standard Lockon "mods" where u have a new 3d shape with the same old F-15/Su-27/MiG-29 cockpit?

Don't be so hard on pesimists. They're actually optimists with lots of experience. :D

That server is way too slow. It takes me ages to see the movie.

I don't think it was a pilot error. I mean, he can't be such a noob, right? I guess it was some sort of mechanical failure.

Guys, you forgot about the possibility of BS having only one flyable: Ka-50. We should be quite happy if the rest of the standard flyables are in the package.

Well, if you haven't paid with your credit card, you can still cancel the purchase info (if I'm not mistaken).

Nothing like a good old memories!:)

All fancy graphics and cockpits, but no real combat avionics. That's what you need Lockon for.:thumbup:

Yeah, Cobra manouvere is as effective as the Top Gun's "He's on my 6', I'm gonna hit the brakes and make him fly in front of me" stunt. :D

Well, I don't like revolvers. The (single action only) trigger pull is harder and as such, the accuracy gets sacrificed due to the extra finger movement during pull. If he had a high-capacity, say a 16 rnd 9mm XD or Glock or Beretta or whatever, he would have better chances of hitting the bad guy. Nevertheless, the situation you describe is a bit weird and I don't know all the details. If he had a fair distance from the perp and was pointing his firearm towards him, he should have been able to react on time and stop the threat. But of course, apart from the technical side of things (learning how to handle a firearm) there is also a mental aspect, ie. being focused and not cracking under pressure. This is the difference between well trained and badly trained cop/security guard/soldier. This can also happen due to the low crime rate in some places where the police officiers are just not used to pulling out their guns and actually using them (other then on a shooting range).

What? Making BS chopper only sim would be a total letdown for most of the fans, regardless of their (valid) reasons behind this move.

R-27EM? Isn't it supposed to be used by an SU33? It's in the service, right? Though I wouldn't be surprised if opposite. Especially when there's not a single picture of an SU33 carrying live missiles on deck.

Hmm..it doesn't look blurry to you on TV? I could connect mine to TV as well, but the picture is not that sharp.
