169th_Akula

Hello moderators, I'm just wondering if you can change my name from 169th_Akula To AKULA As I have not been with this squadron for almost 10 years. Please let me know if there's anything you need me to do in order to make this happen. Cheers and Thanks ;)

Hi Folks, wondering if anyone can direct me to where I can find an FC3 profile for the F-15... I have an X-52 (not the Pro version) Cheers and Thanks

"Wind is never "going" anywhere!!!! It's coming from somewhere!!!" It's amazing the thing you remember when a hot chick says it in front of you. Hell, she wasn't even directing the statement at me lol. BTW. This happened at an Aerotech camp in Ottawa 15 years ago and it was a meteorology class she was giving to the kids.

I just ordered Trackir 5.. The wife is gonna KILL ME!!!!

HAHA Hey guys!!! good to see some familiar faces!!! Can you give me the TS info and I'll drop by :) Nevermind, got it lol. Talk soon

For the record.. I'm have not been a member of the 169th for a while now. I'm a free agent and looking to learn. Seriously, no one is interested?

Hi folks, Although I have all the software and toys I'm a total LOMAC noob. I'm currently using an X-52 throttle and stick but I need a lot of help with FC3. I'm willing to learn as long as someone is willing to teach me. I can: Take off Land Manoeuvre That's about it. I'm looking to learn to be proficient on the F-15C but I don't feel I'm ready to join a Virtual Fighter Wing. It's just a level of dedication I can't afford right now (career). If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. My specs, Self built system Processor: i7 3930K 3.2 stock @ ~4.5 CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i Motherboard: Asus P9x79 DELUXE Memory: 6 x 4 Gb Kingston HyperX RAM triple channel 24GB total Video Card: ASUS ENGTX560 TI DCII/2DI/1GD5 x 2 in SLI Monitor: BENQ XL2420T 120Hz Gaming monitor PSU: Cooler Master Silent Power 1000W Hard Disk: 1 Mushkin 240gb (primary OS) plus a few other storage drives Optical Drive: LG Blu Ray Burner Case: Corsair Obsidian 800D Sound Card: Onboard 5.1 Software: Win 7 x64

I'm at: lockon.co.uk/en And There is no option to buy and download FC3.... Did I miss something and ifso, can someone point me to the right link? Cheers and thanks Akula Nevermind.. Got it :)

Damn!!! MOGAS Used to be one of my old call signs lol. Thanks guys I will check them out and drop in on TS :)

HAHA... dude that was an awful lot of writing just to say "I don't know" Either way thanks for the response. I'm currently running 2 gtx 560s in SLI and just had a look at MSI afterburner and the second card IS doing some work but not sharing the load equally like it does in Bad Company 2. That said, FINALLY!!!! After 5 years of upgrades and using the best I can afford, I am finally running LOMAC at it's highest settings. :)

Hi Folks, Just looking to fly and train with a squadron who is easy going and not hellbent on a ranking system or power trips. I'm not new to Flight soms or LOMAC but VERY VERY rusty. I can take off, land, deploy weapons but need a lot of work in navigation, weapons management and situational awareness. I would like to learn on the F-15 but I know the SU-27 and MIG-29 are pretty damn sweet :) I use an X-52 flight stick and throttle and would like to know if anyone is currently training cheers and thanks for reading Akula P.S. This is a VERY old account so please disregard the "169th"

So it's 2011 now.... Does FC2 support SLI yet???

I'm in the same boat as dfabel01 and I have no clue how to set these controls let alone calibrate the X-52.... There doesn't seem to be an option in the controller setup through Windows and I really want to avoid the SST software for now. Is there anyway to do it? Running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Fighter ops will never come out and they are stringing their patrons along with so much bullshit that it sickens me. What's even worse is that they quickly close and ban anyone who slams their so called "effort". Fighter ops is such a worthless venture and I admit that I'll buy it if it ever comes out but I'm pretty sure that it's just a pipe dream. I'm glad that flight sim enthusiasts are losing interest in them because it will force them to shit or get off the pot. http://www.fighterops.com/forum/showthread.php?10101-Are-You-Kidding-Me

OKAYYYYYYY... Any serious replies??? LOL ;)

LOC, I'm calling you out!!!!!!!!! Where the hell are you?? what have you been up to lately????? Akula

Thanks sniffer. I'll check it out Cheers

Hi guys, Trying to get my X 52 setup on Lomac and I want to do it right the first time but I have no clue where to start. Can someone show me a link or something that explains a proper step by step procedure to setting up this monster??? Also, if you have a standard 169th profile for the X 52 I'd love to have it Cheers and Thanks Akula

Can you imaginae if they outsourced the F-16 to the old Falcon 4.0 SP Team..... Now there was a bunch of guys who really cared about realism. They would do an AWESOME job.

Ahhhhh a familiar face. Still have your buck cherry vid GA. Did I miss it? No, like I said, haven't played in years. :)

Really? Man I haven't played in over two years so I thought there might have been an update or something. So is this really all there is to it? No other patches? No other add ons? Anyone else have any opinions?

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone can give me the EXACT install procedure for lock on FC. I have Lock on on disc, FC downloaded and the patches somewhere. I want to get back into the sim so I'm hoping someone can help Cheers all :)

What about the button on the throttle that has an "i" printed on it??? It doesn't seem to be very mappable to me.... If it is, how would I do it?

Gotta Agree with you there Scythe, The Slammer is no longer as effective as it used to be. Folks... If you want to see what a real aim 120 can do, install Falcon 4, patch the hell out of it and watch.... I flew it for 4 years before switching to LOMAC and the community is absolutely fixated on realism. There are countless threads out there in the F-4 Falcon Forum argueing the modelling of the aircraft and the missiles. just go back a few years and you'll see all the debates. It was incredible!!! This prompted the community to make F-4 as real as possible which they've done.... Now if they can only make it feel faster and look better!!!! Then I would go back ;) http://forums.prospero.com/Falcon4/messages Cheers

Just to be clear on the dynamics of sound and how it's incorporated into the game... When you exceed the speed of sound any external sounds made by the plane will NOT be heard in the cockpit. All internal sounds (radio, bouncing betty etc) can be heard because the sounds are emmitted internall when they are already travelling faster than sound. Also, the jet is pushing a "sound barrier" or wall of sound. This is why you don't hear anything when looking at the jet from the front and then you hear the boom as you get behind it which is the other side of the sound wall.
