Yeah the -9x is a cool missle its just to bad the Air force doesnt use it anymore

hey guys quick kinda off topic question i have noticed that the aim-9 is the most effective missle for the US side. The 120 and 7 seem to track chaff way to easily. So i guess my question is, is this just something ive experienced or is it this way across the board??

USAF weaponz troop stationed at good ole Mountain Home AFB Started air force life on b-1bs and now i work on F-15Cs. I work backshop which means i get to tear all the missle launchers and gun systems apart for inspections

so the-120c is going to be in BS then? thats cool which model??

normally there is very little difference between a live and captive missle.

ok found a little paragraph about the-120d thaught you guys might be interested in readin it so here it is The AIM-120D (P3I Phase 4, formerly known as AIM-120C-8) is a development of the AIM-120C with a two-way data link, more accurate navigation, an expanded no-escape envelope, improved HOBS (High-Angle Off-Boresight) capability, and a 50% increase in range. The AIM-120D is a joint USAF/USN project, and is currently in the early testing phase.

even with the cooling the barrels would still look about as bad.

if i remember correctly the way point prior to the landing point (example, if way point 6 is your landing point then way point 5 is what im talking about) the tower should put you in the landing patteren even without you contacting them.

After being away from that game for about six months or so. Im trying to get back in the game. A couple of quick questions. First one, Which campaign out of the original ones would be the best to start with. Just to get a feel for the game again. Second How do i create my own campaign. If i remember right i try this once before and was not sucseful i could create missions for the campaign but could not play the campaign it self. Thanks in advance for all the help:icon_jook

yeah cause lock on pilots are so much better than everyone else ok see shit like this is why these post go on. you guys keep taking pop shots at people in gereral instead of the game and wonder why it gets immature sad really oh well enjoy your little fantasy land

no shit huh?? i thaught i was flying an f-4;)

i wouldnt say its more bias i would say its one plane you know what you can fly. in lock you have 2 american planes and 5 or so russian and they keep adding russian planes (kinda of bias dont you think). As far as russian planes go i occasionally fly the -29 but i still like the -15 and -10 better just my preference thats all. I would have loved to have seen another american plane in the game but no we are getting a helo and a russian one at that. Oh well

i agree with you but i would rather not wade thru the bs and in the falcon forums i dont have to. I guess im just bitter cause the empisis is more on russian planes then the american ones but thats to be expected and ill just have to cope with it

just like to point out one thing about the boards i get more help from the falcon boards than i do from the lock on boards the only reason i say this is everytime i have a question about the 15 or aim-120 it always turns into a well the -120 sucks etc etc so if you ask me i feel the falcon boards is better but then again most of you lock on boys fly russian stuff anyway. by the way i fly both sims

almost six years

same guy man

yeah yeah your right lets leave it alone and say to each his own

what they are not real?? no kidding i never said they where i said one has more realism than the other that all i said as far as your friend is concerned ill go to work tomarrow and ask a dozen pilots what they think. hell ill even ask they guys at work what they think. so yeah by which ever one you want neither are real some are just closer to realism than others

i dont know in lomac the controls feel sluggish to me. Landing dont seem real either. The Communications dont feel real either however in falcon i get a better sense of all of this. I guess i would say that falcon is more in depth and take a long time to learn which is perfect for me because it keeps its playablity where as lomac does take but two or three days to figure out and there is really no depth what so ever. For example the campagains in falcon are wide open. Where as in lomac its pretty much do this mission beat it and move on NOT REAL. Falcon has more realism i belive. I feel there is more stuff to do and to me thats a big selling point it just feels more real to me

how so?? i get a better sense of the real thing in Falcon

yes i will agree with you on that point as well it is a shame we have to sacrifice for one or the other. But since we do that means to each his own then ;)

while then lock on is the game for you but for me falcon is what i want there is more realism in falcon something i wouldnt sacrifice for graphics

alright i m not sure how to put this but here it goes (remember this is my opinion) i think Lock on is eye candy yeah it has somethings but lets face it graphics arent everything. Falcon doesnt have the best graphics but i think it has a way better feel to it. I view lock on more as an acrade game and Falcon is the simulation. I ve played both as a matter of fact i started with lock on and then purchased F4AF. So if your looking for a quick game to learn buy Lock on but if you want a game that will take a while to learn then buy Falcon. Also i think falcon has a better mp then lock on but remember its just my opinion.

Iquanaking is right most the exercises are scripted to where the -16 and the 15 are dumbed down to pretty much give the other a chance to get some a/a practice but in all reallity im pretty sure if the need arises that mig would have been shot down well before it was in range for a shot

im gonna go we poor judgement for 5000 alex:) and things are good up here in good old MO
