I doubt it was the A-10, looks like it's being dropped and launched from a chase plane above it, either that or it's an ironic stab at the A-10s team-killing record and the A-10 in that picture narrowly avoids a taste of it's own prank. Would be interesting to see this artists work on the maddox game. Can't wait for that to be released, ignored their last release - I'm not paying for some quick cash-in title while I await the new series because I know they'll release plenty of expansions for that.

I'm sure this has been covered many times but what is the reasoning for not releasing the source code? Is it due to Ubisoft still have rights of the game or ED simply not wanting to? Black Shark is the last addon using this series of game and I imagine ED will build a new engine after this (least I hope they do) and this engine is years old.

At least you had the decency to ask :D

No that's because you are helping it to acclerate faster as you have launched it at a higher initial speed.

So what you're saying is we have many months still to discuss? :P

Heh I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now then :D

No it was definitley a bucaneer. Is Biggin the place where upon entry to the Airport you must cross the end of the runway by car, and there is a set of traffic lights to stop traffic when aircraft take off/land? I will never forget seeing this paint scheme before: though it is no proof that it was the same 'show as a plane can easily move from place to place as we all know :D

EDIT: nevermind

Following planned standard flight paths maybe but I would not reduce all the work, time and effort some of these squads put into their routines to nothing in a single sentance. Watch some videos by IAT, the virtual blue angels or some similar squad (as you most likely have) and try convincing yourself it's still easy. :P

Ah right, yeah I've heard that one many times oddly even though I know few Russians, and none of them speak it in front of me.

Interesting shots there. is Biggin Hill the place with the bucanner that wasn't allowed to take off? They ran it down the runway a few times then put it away. I've heard of the place and think I might have been but I can't picture it. If I have it certainly didn't have anything as dramatic as your pictures. I didn't think any UK airshows used live ordnance either.

Yeah it is possible but you need to extract the CDDS files via modman (I'm sure there are other tools too) and edit that file. basically it can be done, somehow. Davai means give, as in 'give me that Kutz repaint'?

What's wrong with the majority of us! :D There are quite a few that fly both, I'm pretty sure 3sqn and IAT fly both colours, but they will probably ask you to fly one plane all the time though.

What he's saying is that BS will run well using a conroe, not because it is dual core as it will still only run on one of the cores but because conroes are such powerful processes BS will run even better anyway, even if only one core is in use. Hope that makes some sense.

First one is a plane from LO-MAC and as proof other than the fact it actually looks like a blurred LO-MAC plane, the other aircraft aren't in the game. I actually quite like the first two photos (the third has photoshop lens blur effect in it which I've never liked :P) the only problem with the first two is that for both of them the background is slightly out of focus and the foreground (aircraft) is blurred, this gives the view nothing to focus on without their eyes feeling 'sick'. Well I struggle to view photos like that same as reading in a moving vehicle for me. Personal preference though so you can ignore my advice :D Other than that I think you've done a good job, the colours of the aircraft match the background nicely too.

EDIT: I realise my mistake :P

Yeah but I'm sure a museum such as Duxford will aquire one and if we're lucky someone there could maintain it for airshows?

That's more like it! none of this 2"x4" nonesense :P

If live in the UK my guess is you'll still see at least one or two at the major airshows, e.g. fairford. They always have loads there.

I leave mine off for the most part - I like to attract a group of planes to me and my wingman to save me getting bored then once I have them near I'll turn it on and disappear behind a mountain and try and bait them on the otherside. It's more fun to play hide and seek like that, it also kind of reminds me of submarine tactics where the commander has to try and visualise where, when and what the other subs are doing. It's more fun at night too where you can't even get a visual so you have to imagine everything. Worked really well on the servers once, they guy seemed to give up after awhile as if I'd been shot down or flew away so he turned around and went for a wingman whilst I was below him the whole time :)

As long as you do it metrically that's ok.

I'm happy then thanks :D

Meh fair point.

Most people here like to keep the game realistic but there are mods and guides on how to change things if thats what you want. I think will need to modify the meinit file in your lockon folder. Or you could go to http://www.lockonfiles.com and find a mod that does what you want.

The solution is easy - everyone goes and buys FC and BS I know I will, and ED are a small team who deserve the money even if you don't plan on flying the 'shark.
