169th_Guppy

thats what i do after flying the f15 vs a mig int he hills lol:D

my personal opinion is that it is quite stupid to make a video of such this incident. It is some guy just trying to make money off a tragic event. cheer for him

Well.... I suppose I might have gotten my callsign, guppy, from janes f-18. At first I always landed short of the carrier and crashed in the water, so naturally i was nicknamed guppy for my love of the water... heheh:joystick:

hey there swartz!!! you be nice! lmao i rock at landing on the carrier:pilotfly:

I was cracking my butt off with this: http://www.pavloff.net/simfun/f18land.html

damn nice work ice !

awe some job thanks helix!

lol, makes me wish i never sold all my legos (50 pounds worth) on ebay... guy has some great models. hopefully one of these can be flyable in LO for shits and giggles. lol:icon_supe

not a problem!!!1:icon_supe

http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/8195 amazing lil stuff hehe, hes got other lego model links to the left ka-50 is included

Yeah, totally agree. And I do have a good very good profile for my x-52 in tws, im adjusting elevation ever so often to make sure I dont lose lock... however, it fails tbh, 9 times outta 10. And yeah, the amraam is crap. They really need to fix these things. TBH I would rather have black shark delayed a couple more months to get this workign as it should be.

Oops! got so caught up in the argument forgot to end with... Thanks again you guys for the wonderous stats page. it is awesome and took a lot of hard work.... thanks again!!

Agreed, and to note: There is a few clear problems with the Mig-29 vs the F15. 1 problem is the fact that you won't see a mig-29 in this game until it is too late. Now dont take this out of context. This is'nt an element based on skill, but infact how the game is made. Migs in this game cannot be seen unless your about 2 miles away. What this does, is it allows the mig to hide in the weeds looking for a f-15 or any other jet at about 18 miles away!(nose cold, looking visually) Now you will probably bring on the fact that the f-15 radar is superior to that of the mig, and you should be able to find him on scope. This is true, but also note that you can lock a mig dead on at lets say angels 10, in front of you in TWS and lose lock around 10-20 miles. This is a problem! The real f15 radar is so powerful that it will maintain a lock! Now taking into account that normally you are not flying dead on at angels 10... ...I would say 95% of all pilots using the mig in this game fly low in the weeds. F-15 is at angels 20 locking a mig at 40 miles in TWS... Mig will stay locked until about 10-20 miles. usually loosing lock at around 18miles. Problem here is the fact that the f-15 cant see the mig visually. However, the mig can see that f-15 clear as day. All that mig now has to do is hide from him. come up and shoot him down... Thus, an unfair unrealalistic advantage. IF the f-15 had a superior radar and it acted as it does in the REAL F-15 the radar would hardly ever lose lock unless a very good beam or the fact that the mig went behind a hill. Thus, I believe giving more kills to the f-15 then the mig-29. Simply put and its proven in the real world, the F-15 is the worlds most superior a2a fighter. So what I'm trying to say here is: The mig-29 is chosen more often esspically now because many players are learning to exploit this, They are also getting more kills because of this very reason. I'm not using exploit in a negative term. It's just it has 2 clear advantages over the f-15 that I would say atleast 1 of these will hold validity in real life. 1) visual site limitations and 2) fact that the radar sucks in the f-15 at close range. Someone, used the argument that a very good f15 pilot could defeat a very good mig-29 pilot. I dissagree because of the problems the f-15 has in this sim. Not to gloat or anything, but I do consider myself as a very good F-15 Pilot... However, doe to the problems in the F-15 I find my self disengaging more than ever. My #1 Priority is to get my plane back in one piece. ...and to think i', not even bringing up at how bad 120's suck now.

table saw would work perfectly for cutting the wood... since the pvc is only 1" u can but these cutting pliers (w/e it is) that u measure out the length make a like... and cut it.... worked awesome for me! its really simple to make the directions are all in colts link. i did his measurements and they didnt work for me. So i had to cut off the bottoms at a length that worked for me then i rebuilt the bottom. I actually have my throttle sitting about 4 inches (i think) lower then my stick because its more comfortable.... to me it was all about getting the sticks off the desk and having comfort. I achieved both, and it looks really nice!

got them from homedepot besides the cutter i had to get for the pvc cost me just under 40 bucks

oh by the way colt, i didnt know if you knew this.... but the x52 has holes on the base of the throttle and stick, i got them actually screwed into the base! They are solid as hell!

yeah, although mine was close to 40 bucks, I had to buy some pvc cutting tools, plus i'm the type to order too much of something because im afraid i wont have enough, so i bought a very large piece of plywood, lol.

got the idea from colt... thanks for your post! either way, this setup rocks for me now! post yours!

screw that, add F-18 Super hornet so we can have carrier wars :)... mmmmm carrier wars
