  1. Looks promising, Ill definately get my hands on this one when its complete & released
  2. You'll have to make in-air negotiations! So remember to save one missile for when you think its time to rearm :thumbup:
  3. Tigrou rocks, I was amazed when i first saw his movies :thumbup:
  4. Nice skins! But whats with the R-77 :music_whistling: btw. That ED logo skin was pretty nice!
  5. Ok, im really new to this game and all.. plus I rarely fly american birds but.. I'll try answer as much as I can.. First off please watch all the tutorials again so your memory freshens up.. You have to change at what direction the radar is looking to find an enemy, see your key configuration how to do this, also you can "zoom in and out" with the radar (sorry all, i dont know the correct terms :doh: ) The more you zoom out the longer you will be able to see, and the lower zoom the closer to your aircraft you will be watching, Its generally OK to start with a rather zoomed out mode until you spot someone, and as he gets closer you zoom in to see if hes alone or not. They will on the american radar screen appear as a small block and in the middle of the little screen theres a symbol looking somewhat like this " || " You have to take that and put it over the little block thing so the radar knows what you want to lock, once its over it, hit tab. If the conditions are right and everything works, you will get a lock and you will clearly see it on your HUD. The range of which you are able to lock someone does not depend on the missile, but other conditions such as your altitude and his altitude etc. However once you have a lock then yes, the range which you are able to fire at will depend on the missile ^_^ Vertial scan and Bore mode is CAC, Close Air Combat modes, you are supposed to use them if an enemy gets too close to make use of your radar in a effecient way.. I cant tell you the exact difference between these 2 on a US bird tho The target designation mode on the russian birds are the helmet target designator, the US does not have this. soo again, i dont know. The '6' on russian planes are used when your radar/hud or whatever fails, perhaps after getting hit by a missile.. You can use this mode to target someone at close distance directly via the seeker on IR missiles instead of using the onboard systems, afaik this is to only be used during a such condition and you should refrain from using it if everything is working fine The A-10 maverick missiles are sort of fun.. Basically, there are 2 types of them. IR and TV but they work essentially the same but are used in different conditions If you ever watched the tutorial explaining the A-10, this should already be pretty clear to you, but what you do is pretty much to bring up the ground attack mode, select your mavericks and the display to your right will fire up showing what the missiles see and a big cross in the middle, you need to get the cross above your target and hit the lock key, if locked properly it will align (the cross) automagically towards the target and I think theres a small indicator that starts blinking when its a good lock And if you think its too hard, too little time getting it done, you need to either a) Get faster :joystick: or b) Get some distance between you and the enemy so you have plenty of time A good idea is to map the controls to your joystick Again, if anything is inaccurate (most of it? :)) i appologise, but maybe it might be a bit useful :|
  6. Things tends to get off topic after a while on this forum ;)
  7. I think it looks like one of those Matrix movie's when you see them controlling the docks and stuff inside zion
  8. That key is 'right click' im not sure wether its recognized as a separate key or if windows translates it as right mouse click directly
  9. Above the top posts in this page you will find "Thread Tools", click it and you can choose to subscribe to the thread.
  10. wow, what a resolution for that monitor.. how come you need it that small? im sure even blind people could read that btw, nice monitor.
  11. Im sure i posted a video to a demonstration of their engine on this forum a while back :/
  12. Just a quick question, is multiplayer tanker refueling fixed in FC?
  13. Im looking forward to play with you online :smilewink: I'm using 1.02 at the moment, still waiting for my friend/s to get some cash so we can order FC.. so for now, im only playing 1.02 online with a small circle of friends. I have some shots of it though, but the graphics is horrible so they arent so pretty (i have a crappy pc) btw, to the afterburner, have you really seen it in real life? or are you only referring to that picture? The one you used as a example seems to be at some altitude generated alot of smoke, i did a quick google and found this: looks more smooth around the corners, unlike the default skin
  14. Nice pics, both of them. I liked that carrier one! Dont you think that afterburner texture needs a bit of fixing though? :music_whistling:
  15. Very nice :) I often find myself just taking random photos of nothing really impressive at all, i have tons of pictures taken from the side of my flanker when im flying low over a city.. Its just too beutiful :)
  16. Hello all of you, I always enjoy watching others screenshots, therefore, I am making this screenshot thread where i ask you all to post any cool screenshot(s) you may have and want to share with us all :) I guess i could start this off with this, which i took only moments ago:
  17. Awesome work, i cant wait to see the full vid. :thumbup:

  19. This is something that i've been thinking about aswell, I dont claim to know anything about aircrafts but judging from pictures i've seen of HUD shots clearly shows that the hud presented in lock-on is too clear.. another thing that did come to my mind aswell, I've seen some HUD shots of the mig-29 (i think)/F-15 but its very different from the one we are seeing in lock-on, the huds on those pics i have seen tends to be very much more simplified.. is it true that the HUDs we are seeing are different and more detailled than those a you would see on the real deal? or maybe they are modelled very realisticly and im just talking shit atm :music_whistling:
