That's classic Battletech, noob. :P In Mechwarrior, LRM's never stick out from the missile racks!

Why is the helipad made of Play-doh?

Wrong section! Somebody move it to video plz

Free flight with the Su-25, got bored, pulled hard, then this happens. For the impatient, I landed it at the end (no flames, engines didn't even flame out). Thumbs for effort? Also, if you haven't read my thread yet, now is your time to tell me why my model is so goofy looking (observe rigid intakes)! Da, just trim the rudder aye leetle, comrade!

Observe in motion I guess.

I've never been a buy-stuff-online person because I don't have a credit card (and no way I am giving Paypal my bank account). I found the X52 at Future Shop. Found the T-Flight HOTAS X aswell, but that won't suffice and is to bulky I'm pretty sure. Still no X52 Pro anywhere, however. If I can't find it, should I just go with the X52 instead? I would rather have something made with care then cheap plastic, but you tell me.

How is this coming along? I got a new A-10A, F-15C, Su-27, and Su-33, only a few more to go!

My ModelLOD file is fine, so perhaps the model itself is corrupted? I'm not sure how this would work, but could somebody somehow maybe add an attachment to there post that contains the model files? If that isn't possible, don't go through the trouble of uploading it to LockOnFIles.com or something, you don't need to.

About 150kt on approach, 120kt on touchdown. Add another 10kt if you are heavily equipped.

Have we had a proper Tornado sim yet? It's been all USA and Russia so far, why not mix it up a bit? If this next one is F/A-18, please have multiple nations for the campaign. US Navy, Canada, Australia, Swiss, etc

4x/16x, respectively. 1 notch below the highest setting, I'm positive this isn't the problem.

*tries Mustangs LOD.txt* :/ nope It only seems to be the fuselage and engines/intakes, the rest looks fine.

I'm going to scan around for an X52 Pro, then hope to God/Allah/Science that the centering mechanism doesn't suck. Thanks guys. And to the guy who said the X52P has a ministick, you know what I meant right? X/Y axis rather then just 8-way switches? That would be really handy for the Shkval/Radar cursor

I have never even opened programming software for any of my sticks, ever. Lol. Ingame is fine. Looking at X52 Pro, although you guys need to try harder if you want me to disregard the G940 entirely ;) (does the X52P have a ministick on it?)

Something tells me that this WILL be better then the Raptor (at airshows and propoganda posters at least ;)), but will never get used or come out by the time we have Generation 6 up and running.

Didn't Wings of Prey have wingtip vortices modelled? That game looks incredible, even if playing it is like slamming your face against a wall.

I'm scared away by the X52 mainly because of that spring system. It is IDENTICLE to the spring found on my old AV8R. You could calibrate that thing 8 times a day, and within 10 minutes, the joystick would be stuck WAY off the X axis, with the stick perfectly centered. It was unplayable. Hell, even on the off chance it was calibrated, there was annoying "center play" that caused jiggling. "Center slop" sounds like a god send in comparison, even if it pales in comparison to the CH Products which I can't find anywhere. How reliable have you guys found the X52, and is the X52 Pro at all better in this regard? Having the axis off when the stick is centered is a game ruiner.

Fine piloting there sir, still learning how to own that efficiently with the A-10A :thumbup:

I've managed to beat an Su-27 in a gunfight before (not online) without too much knowledge of dogfighting, though it took me a few tries. I just tried to "go faster", for lack of a better term. Question somewhat related to the thread: what does the MiG-29 offer that the Sukhoi and Eagle don't? I have honestly never flown it in this game (maybe twice). It doesn't have as much payload as the others, and basically runs on fumes the moment you light the afterburners.

Is the "center slop" like what is found on the Extreme 3D Pro? Because I love that shiz.

One thing I noticed with CH: no twist function This means I need to buy some pedals too, in which case I might as well go for the G940 since it will cost the same. How is the G940? I know there programming software isn't great, but I have never even used SST anyway. Does it remain the center without jittering all over the damn place?

Is that Mechwarrior 3 I see? ;) Hand it over, son.

That is what I'm doing right now, and trust me, it isn't fun. You have no idea how awkward it feels hold Shift + bt.9 to lower full flaps, Ctrl + Hatstick Up to zoom in, or Alt + Button 10 to change lighting. Remebering exactly where I set all those functions would be the worst part. CH Throttle and Stick or X52 Pro I'm thinking. Does the Pro have a better spring system, does it have any center play (that causes it to sit anywhere within a few millimeters of dead center)

If we are judging aircraft looks based on how much of a "war machine" it is, I pick... Tornado. I want this in a study sim someday, sometime. I compare it to the FW190, in that it is chunky, but not "fat". It looks like the kid that knows how to box.
