  1. Like the Mirage 2000 shots.
  2. There is a beta option for a reason. Plenty of games do this. ED isn't unique in offering a retail build alongside a beta version. This is false. Valve does not set prices, the developer/publishers do. Including sale prices, discounts and duration. ED could sell their modules for 50 cents or $500 if they wanted to. All that being said I can see them running the alpha in their own client only. It isn't mandatory and as it is unfinished work I can see why they prefer to do it in house only. As long as the retail versions on Steam get timely updates I don't see much of a problem. This is likely why beta modules are no longer sold on Steam to.
  3. Do we need to create an account for Rafflecopter or does it automatically use our facebook account? Personally I am not a fan of these kinds of apps because there is no real information and it is all hidden if available at all.
  4. If you don't have NTTR, then download the 1.5 beta. You should be able to use the Mirage in that. 2.0 is NTTR only as of now. Sadly I am not part of either club. :(
  5. And please note this takes a massive amount of effort. This is in the same game in which BMP-2s regularly snipe Su-27s out of the sky with ease and put dedicated anti aircraft guns like the Gepard, Vulcan and Shilka to shame. Lets not bite off more than we can chew. The concept of being "a mile wide, an inch deep" isn't a good one for games. Especially when resources are spread so thin. I think ED has their plate full on the military side of things for many years to come.
  6. Name: Flogger23m Thanks for the giveaway!
  7. I do have to say, I am a bit confused on how it works. I did click the links and visit the facebook page. I assume that enters me? And will winners be contacted via facebook?
  8. I would rather see other aircraft, but I wouldn't mind an Su-25SM. My question is what exact upgrades does it bring? That always seems a bit difficult to find information on. What types of targeting pods are integrated, and what kind of missiles can it launch? My understanding is that it is not as capable weapons wise as the T or TM but retains the better aerodynamics of the original.
  9. It very well could have damaged that engine in the real world. The problem is that the soldiers, and all ground vehicles, have obscene accuracy. BMP-2/3s regularly kill me in Su-27s/MIG-29s. In fact they are more deadly than the Shilka and Vulcan. I now don't place IFVs with an auto cannon in missions because of their absurd accuracy. This is reflected across all ground vehicles sadly, and surviving two rocket runs in a MIG-29/Su-27 is very difficult unless you're going nearly mach 1. A-10/Su-25? Those are almost suicidal now.
  10. I always loose. :D Hope the winners enjoy it!
  11. I assume there will be. Just because it wasn't announced yet doesn't mean it won't come.
  12. XP is a terrible OS. Vista 64bit and Windows 7, itself much better than Vista, both blow XP out of the water. They're more stable, quicker, much more automated and look a lot nicer to. I am not a fan of 8.1 but it is pretty much fine with Classic Shell. But even then it is far better than XP. Try and grab a copy of Windows 7 while you still can. Give it another try. XP is just getting too old for most software/browsers/hardware. Once I got Vista 64 bit many years back I never looked at XP again, and never want to experience the shoddy instability of it again either.
  13. This is an excellent giveaway. Will enter myself. Thanks!
  14. I'll enter myself. I did this skin a while back and wouldn't mind flying it myself. It is in the download section for those that want it.
  15. Very nice video and great flying to.
  16. I am in for the F-86. Thanks for the giveaway CCCC.
  17. Looks rather interesting.
  18. And North Vietnamese fighters didn't have radars aside from a few later war MIG-21s. Some of which deleted the cannon to make room for it. The standard MIG-21, the F-13, only had 35 rounds in the cannon and two short range missiles. That is not a typo. The ace referenced mainly shot down bombers, not modern fighters. MIG-21s are horribly out dated. The only reason people on this forum attributed super-hero like status to them is because they are emotionally attached to them. Just like the A-10. I'm sure when the Mirage 2000C comes out people will be doing the same thing, claiming it is just on par with the Rafale or F-22. Also the Eurofighters didn't win in a fair fight. Read up on the artificial restrictions placed on the F-22s which resulted in some mock kills. There are few fighter aircraft I don't like. I do like the MIG-21 a lot because it is a classic but we have to be realistic. It is very outdated even in its most modern form.
  19. If I had the option between the two I would take the Mirage 2000C any day. More modern air frame. But the MIG-21 is released now, and it is overall high in quality.
  20. First time I experienced it as well. Ruined I mission I planned on playing. ED needs to make a RU Aggressor coalition and place it on the RED side by default, and move the USA Aggressor coalition to BLUE by default. This way each coalition can place any unit on any side in the event an error was made when setting countries. And of course, add an ability to change country coalitions on the fly.
  21. If they're doing WWII things I hope it is a theater and not just another single plane. We already have a bunch of WWII planes that can only dog fight each other. We need some AI units to go with the map.

    FS: ArmA 3

    Hello, Looking to sell a copy of ArmA 3 for Steam. It is an EU version so you must be in the EU to use it. Should be obvious, but it was never activated. Price: $30. Or looking to trade it for other sim stuff. IL-2 BoS or Elite Dangerous interest me. PM me for questions/offers. Check my heatware to see my high reputation at heatware.com. Thanks for looking!
  23. Thanks for the giveaway Corvus. Like your channel as well. :)
  24. Thanks to the 104th for this amazing giveaway. I hope all the members are having a great holiday season! My entry. Unedited screen shot. Firing an AIM-9: Love the missile's engine blast enveloping the wing. Note: I removed my original screen shot as I think we can only post one.
  25. Enjoy A-10A Gault05!
