Odd camo, or some awful shadows? Makes you appreciate the shadows even with the lack of AA in lockon.

Yup.

Yeah I've been playing FSX recently so shush :P I don't even have Lockon installed since I changed OS, will probably do that sometime soon though, I promise!.

Heh I never thought that kind of paint scheme could trick anyone, well it fooled you! Obviously I never looked and thought those were winglets either ¬_¬

I think I'll get it then and give it a go, it's a matter of figuring out how to partition my drives effectively now. I think I will go for Premium 64-bit and with the money saved get another 2GBs of RAM :D Thanks for the responses.

Hmmm, is that because you are running 64-bit or simply because it's vista though? This is why I might run a different OS on each hard drive - if so could I still access file from each OS on the other drive?

Some examples of how it looks http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=13204&page=2 I definitley recommend it - if only because you get a better sense of speed when flying through valleys as you have more side vision (not much but still more) so you can see things whizz past :D Widescreens are cheaper now so they are worth getting, most games have support for them now as well and if not then check here for help http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/ it's the place to go for patches and cracks (for widescreen not to start illegally accessed games) to get widescreen for games from bad developers :P

We could all band together as consumers and refuse their product til it suits us, or we could carry on sucking up to them and buying their ridiculous software at unfair regional pricing and then have to wait for months til it all works and we get hit by a new marketing front for windows Vienna and DX11/12 as we are doing currently :P

That doesn't sound too bad to me (no I'm not nuts :P) at least I know that there is proper support for it (I assume 64-bit as well) and I don't have to follow a complex guide on bypassing the whole installation. The main reason I want Vista is for DX10 so it might not be worth getting 64-bit if lockon and other programs aren't compatible which is my concern, though I have read it's not a big deal. Thanks for the link.

Maybe I missed something but I ignored the readme for the last patch and now have lost it, the mainsite is playing up a bit in the file section (for em anyway) and the search function encompasses almost all threads. So does the 1.12b patch enable support for any version of Vista 64-bit (note the 64-bit specifically as that's what I plan to upgrade to, as I actually want an upgrade in OS not a change of scenery). Anyone here running Lockon in 64-bit version, and if so what did you have to do beyond getting the 1.12b patch to get it to work if anything? Second question, if I upgrade from XP to Vista what happens to all my files? are they deleted or simply require reinstallation - or does Vista cleverly install in search away I can use everything right away? Should I install it in a certain way once purchased, i.e. in a seperate partition keeping XP, is there any advantage to it? (I'd rather not, so it'd have to be a considerable advantage) Thank You.

I bet you that would be nowhere near as simple as you make it sound. It would be great if it could work but I very much doubt we'll ever see it happen, it's more likely someone will make a game with the best features of each simulator then someone will make a program to link all simulators.

Chances are that g force was exerted forward, as opposed to the g you'd feel when ejecting which is upward. As it is in a different axis it effects the flow of blood to the head less and thus you can withstand much higher G loads hence the 80 or so g you stated whereas a pilot in a plane can only withstand under 20g ejecting upwards (for a very brief period of time though)

It was on a TV show about the pilot. I swear! Surely someone else saw it all that time ago?

The RAF spend around a million pounds per pilot to train them to their standard, they will never write off a pilot that easily. I recall a harrier accident some years back where the plane tried to land but lost thrust somehow and it collapsed into the ground and the pilot lost the use of his legs. Worked out cheaper to convert the rudder pedals to a control he could use with his hands.

2 might screw your back up badly but there is no specific figure, it doesn't work like that :P

They said something about Valery: Валеру and something about tornado: торнадам So at least they were on topic :D By the way which tornado is this? the IDV is the attack version right? How much more work would it take to make the fighter variant using this model also? and would ED consider making a slot for it using the same performance data (assuming they fly the same).

I've seen it done before. Some guy had a main monitor then two touch screens showing MFDs and cockpit. I'll find you a picture. EDIT: Found it; this is Ruggbutt's setup He's not the only one though so I'm sure there's a way around it, someone will show up on this thread and explain it for you.

Yeah I've had a few of those free ones in the past, each time I've tried to get into a modelling mood :P I remember I almost made something that vaguely looked like a 'shape' of some kind on zModeller (I think that was the one). That was the highlight of my modelling :D Thanks I'll look through these then find Gmax or another free tool.

Could you link to some tutorials that you used to help you get started assuming you used a guide? I know there are plenty out there and yes I have looked through them but not all of them are well written or that informative so it's difficult to start. Thank you.

I'm sure ED understand what you're saying FeedFish and have thought about it, but as has been said they've chosen not to do so. Nothing we can do but enjoy the game as is.

Thanks for the link.

Link to this Summer hot pack? does it only effect summer textures or all? Thanks

When you get that kind of power that the US currently has it will make you do those kind of things. It won't be long before another country overtakes the US and starts pushing it's weight around in the same way. P.S. No I don't hate the US and no I don't want to argue about them.:D

Any information regarding the Tupolevs, Whose were they? No one in the US will use these Tomcats though and no one is allowed to use them outside the US, the aircraft have a high enough scrap value, as long as several examples are maintained in trusts and museums I don't see the big deal. It's worse seeing hundreds of examples out in some desert having their asses kicked by the wind.
