636_Castle

It's actually looking REALLY nice. I can't wait to do some CAS in Afghanistan mountains! What makes it even better is the quality of work and attention to realism. I hope the airbases are custom too.

You mean you've played the fully developed, debugged version of the sim? Am I missing something here?

It probably looks the same, only stretched on to a 32" screen. :noexpression:

+1 There's really no sense in saying something falls short just because it doesn't poke at your interest. That's like saying baseball is better than soccer because you can use bats. I guess you have to have a wider appreciation for things to enjoy Accusim planes, rather than complaining because it doesn't make things go boom. I enjoy Accusim for the challenge of having to maintain a fragile aircraft that is constantly changing and the depth of it's realism, and yes I also enjoy DCS for the 'versus' type challenges.

http://www.vrsimulations.com/tacpack.htm A2A, A2G, S2A weapons with damage, visuals, and multilayer integration. Will be available for any aircraft in phase 2 of release, so I'm guessing that includes the Spitfire seen here. Just sayin.

Indeed. Luckily though with things like the VRS TacPack coming out in the future, we'll see these features from other developers like A2A. :)

Oh, well then. :)

A2A Simulations Spitfire Here's a cool video of the Spitfire being developed by A2A simulations. These guys are IMO in the lead for flight simulation and were the ones who brought the B-17 and Piper Cub with maintenance hangars and dynamic engines. In other words, nothing operates the same way twice, because the systems use variable modules rather than canned effects. They'll soon be releasing the P-51, and F-4 Phantom after releasing the Spitfire in the next few days, check it out!

THIS. Although I'm almost positive it'll be the AH-64A.

Well done. :thumbup:

I wonder, if the canopy is opened and it tears off in mid flight, does the aircraft get harder to control? Is there a loud roar of wind? I love jettisoning the canopy in the VRS Superbug and trying to keep it under control. :joystick:

Just stick with Sel94. "Castle" is pretty weird, but when it's been your codename for years and years, you sort of have to deal with it.

I still remember when my prediction for early January was late. :smilewink:

All of the files you downloaded, they need to be together in the same folder before you run the setup. Also make sure the folder is not a zip folder.

You running the setup.exe out of the same folder as the bin files? Is it in an uncompressed directory?

All I'm saying is I can't understand why one person will say "It'll be ready when it's ready", when another says "It won't be ready in time". The difference being, one statement suggests there is a somewhat narrowed target date, while the other one says there isn't. That seems significant to me. That's like saying "I'm not sure when the bus will arrive...because it's too close." Just saying.

Estimated release for beta 5 was early January (technically 1st - 11th.) That was of course considering no more delays. I'm more interested in the estimated final release window that is too close to finish the Nevada theater. You can't say you don't have an estimated release time, but then say certain features won't be ready in time for release. (Not a flame) :tomato:

I can't think of any other brake on the front dash...

I hope they don't take out the A-10 before the release. :noexpression:

Alright, this P.O.S. case has messed everything up yet again :angry:. Basically I decided to do some case cleaning over the holiday - BIG mistake. I forgot how terrible this case was for cable management, and ended up rebuilding THREE times in one day to get all the cables worked out. I have watercooling installed, and in this mess, I accidentally pulled my cooler pump connector off of the fan header. In a rush to get everything done at 4 in the morning, I turned on my PC only to have it shut down on me twice. I booted a third time fearing something either wasn't grounded, or was in the process of frying. Sure enough, in the BIOS hardware monitor my CPU was cooking at it's cool TJ max temperature. I immediately shut it down, let it cool, and resisted the urge to put this case on an A-10 firing range long enough to reconnect the pump. Ran a Prime95 test for about 10 minutes and no errors, but it didn't resist heat as well as it normally does (I'm guessing I did some serious thermal paste baking). I completely love this i5, and it's performed terrific - but hit my wallet hard since I bought it the month it came out. Can one really hit the TJ max temp without causing damage? I've heard a) TJ max is the temperature damage begins occuring, and b) TJ max is the red-alert temperature, and will throttle/shut off your PC but will not cause damage. Which one is correct?

:sorcerer:

0.5 kbps. Watch out world!

Two words.... HOR - NET!!!! :tomato: Nahh happy birthday Tom :)

I wonder what the very unforseen technical problem was...? :huh:

So...you're upset because the training does not replace the Flight Manual?
