I hae serious doubts about how many people will buy BS. Let´s thinik about this: ED has already told us that there will be nothing new about fighters, also, we do know that there will be no actual bugs fixed. The only new thing will be that heli, wich for sure is nice an interesting but... start to use that instead of fighters? How much people are willing to put $$$ just for that and knowing that things will not be improved or at least some things fixed in the actual fighters? And by the way: ED´s way to deal with custoimers is something "famous" by this time, I don´t think they have a proper customer deparment :P

In refuelling mode, the movemnts of the jostick are more precise. You can pull a lot more than in other modes and the movments will be smailler

Posted by Zaelu "So... I don't know how to optimize shaders but, if one guy from here knows, it would be nice to contact ED via email and offer his help. He could ask for a fee I suppose." Well, is not an insult to anybody, it is clearly writen in a complete diferent context than your reply is, and actually, your reply can perfectly be confused with an ED´s reply. Read my post againg very slowly, amy be is too complex for you to understand it if you don´t. Offering ED help? where have you been all this time, there are lot, but really lot of people, right here in the forum who has offered some kind of help to ED, from 3d models, to fps optimisations, etc, free all of them (I guess jajaja) and you want somebody here to offer his help and also request a fee? jajajajajajajajajajajaj At least your reply made my laugh jajajajajajajajajajajaja, thank you

I have many time posted critics to FC. Don´t missunderstand me: im with this sim since flanker 2.0, lock on gave me some desilution actually. Let´s say the true, and only the ones that used flanker 2.x can´t answer back: what has lock on that is not present on flanker? In general words I can only see nice graphics, nothing more than that. Gosh!!! we still have some bugs from that era like the refuelling bag... What new thing do we have? AFM on the su25t, but recently on the 1.12. Some comments about postings here: 1.- IF ED makes patches will broke??? well, sorry, but as a software developer that Im, it is my duty to deliver a product working with the features I promised to my client, so what the h... do you try to say defending ED about not releasing patches? ED pathces have fixed NOTHING, they released patches fixing minor things, things that concerned almost anybody. All of us here have posted bugs, important bugs, before and after patches releses, did they heared us and fix THAT bugs? no, they fixed what they had the time to... And to say more, excuse me but a lot of other games, realeses 2 or 3 patches at least dureing their life, how many has released ED? 1.01 wich actually brought more bugs, 1.02 wich fixed barely some bugs and brought new ones... and then... they sold us 1.1, with OLD bugs still on it, reported bugs, and new ones, have they fixed them? noooo 2.- ED has no support from drivers developers: well, can you imagine what kind of relation can have ED with other companies takeing into consideration the relation that it has with us the customers? Have you ever tried to cotact tech support? For sure no driver develping company will give them any atention, knowing them. 3.- Code improivement: I don´t know what kind of programmers ED has, but, they need to hire people with higher IQ. Please, is more than obvious that if a player can´t see an object, why in the bloody h.... would you need to render it????? Lock on doesn´t need much CPU power... ED programmers need CPU power to do their poor programming. Do you think this simulation has lot of calculations? so what can you tell me about simulating something more complicated like space traves? take a look at ORBITER, a sim that has far more compelx calculations, and see how much CPU needs 4.- Support BS: In my particular situation, I don´t think I will buy BS, im not interested in a product were ED has clearly informed that no bugs from previous version will be fixed. So, we will pay for a heli... very nice, a heli that will have bugs everywhere (acording to our experience with lock on we can be sure of that) and fighters that will have the same bugs as before, probably new ones! So, I want to pay for that? for sure no. And in my opinion, all of us should raise our voice and not buy it, it is the only way to show how things are to ED: we are the customers, it is US who demmand things, and I don´t know where did they got the idea to launh a heli sim. Someone once told here that the russian people, but in the russian forums you can´t find anybody asking for it, russian customers are un happy the same like us.

Yes, WD has aldo given to me the better results. By the way, what about doing that RAM disk tweak for accesing the textures and efect files? I haven´t tried that in FC, have you or anybody else?

First you should find the problem with the compter that is causeing FC to crash (wich is not very difficult...) try lowering the grapgics quality, etc. How good is your computer? Mine couldn´t handle FC in a decent way till I had 1 GB ram, before that, with 512MB i got FC crashes all the time.

Right. For dogfight, do not try to follow the enemy with the piper, that MAY work SOMETIME (very few actually) with normal IA, very few with execelent IA, but almost never will work with a human pilot (good level, not execlent level required), because he will be always flyeing with errtic maneouvers, so any time he is on the piper, he would already had started another maneouver and you will spoil bullets. Try this (as just and example)supose you have gained an advatage position, you are aproaching the bandits´ 5 . Try to get here with good energy (you will need it to pull some Gs in the next movement). Aim his tail and start fireing in the direction he is moveing to and pull Gs moveing your nose in a lead persuit course, so your bullets will in some point hit him. You won´t miss. This is just 1 of many ways of aprouching bandits´ 6 to make a shoot, I recomend you to read this book: Naval Institute - Shaw - Fighter Combat - Tactics and Maneuvering It is excellent and will help you a lot Hope this information is usefull for you

Remember what happened to "mith busters" when playin cds at 30000 RPM? :P

Sorry, but you can not compare fly in a real fighter with this sim nor any other sim, there are LOT of differences. The point in this thread I think is pretty simple: does F10 improve or reduce the realism of the sim? In real fighter there are kneeboards, right? (i don´t know if any modern one has some LCD showing the map and your exact position and heading as F10 does, but I think none has something like that). So, the F10 can not be called a tool provided by ED, it is and "addon" provided to makes things easier for those people called "gamers", people that are not much interested in the realism. ED and other companies need this gamers to sell it´s sim. I think you will agree that this sim has some features aimed to that kind of players, so F10 is there because of that, not to add realism. If any virtual pilot want to makes things as realistic as posible, F10 is not one of the option you shopuld have activated, and instead you should use maps. And by the way... i didn´t flew in a fighter, instead of that my brother took me 2 times in an old A4 fighter (he was in 4th year of the military academy here in Argentina) and showed me that is posible to fly "blind" just with instruments, with some restrictions that you don´t have in most modern aircrrafts. I did some flights in FC useing the su25 (not the T version) lowering the sight so I couldn´t see the land, looking just the instruments and did some flights, and some landing. I crashed some times, and succeed some more times. So I can say that is COMPLETLY different a real fighter than a sim, but the point here is how real we can make the simulation, and in my opinion, F10 does not help

Boneski , print the maps, put them on your knees when you fly FC, and later came back and tell us if it is the same as useing F10 where you can see your aircraft placed oin the map and it´s heading. F10 is not realistic, use the kneeboard and let´s see if you can find your heading as easily as you can with F10 And padlock... well, it help people don´t have trackpoint but... how many peoply use the padlock function to lock things they never really saw?

I have read many articles about this, don´t know why some blind people say "it is a myth". There are no proofs that the system is workin, but also there are no proof that the theory on the articles is wrong (in fact the theory explained is completly right, just that nobody knows for sure if the technology to control that is already working as the articles said) The correct statetment I think would be to say "it could be posible, but we have no proofs", don´t you agree? Some people think the only stealth thing that will exist is something called raptor...

We already have that, not from ED (what a surprise) but from another member. It is a apck os very detailed maps, 1 from the caucasian peninsula and crimea peninsula, and also that memeber prepared detailed maps of each airfield. Don´t remember where I got them, I think from lockonfiles???? But get them, those maps are what you are talking about, print them in full size (A4) and plastified them, looks great and are great for navigation. useing this issue as "excuse" to have F10 view is not really a good point.

knowing were you are I think is part of your pilot skill. If you gt lost, there are some ways, realistic ways, a pilot should know to get out of the trouble. First: you should have a minimun knowledge of you airbase (and other airbases) and know points of reference (near cities, mountains, rivers, etc), so, you got lost? you still have your magnetic compass to do a basic navigation, with that and knowing some point of reference, any pilot should be ok. if you don´t have the kneeboard mod, we still have that great contribution: the maps itself of each peninsula and also of each airfield, wich we can print (I did, and look great!) Those printed maps should be in each pilot´s cockpit !, I thinks this methods are the realistic ones, the F10 view showing your exact position and heading doesn´t look very realistic to me, ubless our aircracft is equiped with a nice GPS ;) jajaja

VolkVoland install the FPS MOD 1.12, you will find it at lockonfile.com It really helps. Look well for other mods, some of them are not updated and don´t work in 1.12. Use the FPS mod 1.12 I told you, install some of the water mods too, and you will see an improvment. Use Modman to install the mods.

You are a joke... that plane is specially modifued (as told in the video itself) vectorial trust plane. Some experiment or something like that. You talked about a f18 and f16 doing cobras years before the s27 if I remember well. Come on, I trust your memory, I know you can show us a real f16 / f18 doing a cobra. (by the way, that "cobra" in the video is doing at high speed as we can say because of the condensation we see on wings)

That is no even close to a cobra manouver... GG we still hope you can find a video or link showing f18 or f16 makeing a cobra as you told us... For sure you have in your private collection some blue angels show doing that may be????

Yes , this is sth "new" in 1.12, there is no autopilot now, you have to mantenin lock to the basket manually. In the other hand, It seems a little faster the refuelling now, is that correct or just my impresion?

:megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol:

GGTharos please please, we are stil, waiting your video or at least a link of f18 or f16 makeing a cobra as you told us they can do. Do you mean that those planes can do a cobra and the Blue Angels never use it in an aerobatic show????? Please boy... come down to earth

Sure.... sure... At least 3 people here have requested you to show us that in some video, for sure must be one video right? PLEASE, show it to us, I beg you... jajajajajajaja

hey... there is not such link ;) Let´s leave "them" with the happiness of haveing made an "american cobra" jajajajaja

Very very accurate, 500% agree, some people are happy because a suposed to be 4th generation aircraft has finally done a maneover that fighter with "needed upgrades" can do since many years. I still have not seen a raptor do a cobra at about 15 meters altitude passing in front of people watching. Very funny isn´t it?

Congratulations!!!!!!! finally america could cachup with the su27 habilities. but... the video of the super flanker with vectorial trust still seem to me to have more maneuverability, has the f22 improved that????

Nope, a2g no, sorry, my mistake

This is nice http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/s37/ very nice!!!!!
