I don't agree, it's more or less the same with old cars versus new cars, old cars have generally more of a soul than new cars, but that has less to do with the actual age than the complexity and design of the vehicle, less complex, more soul. Just as you say below, the F22 has an improved man to machine interface but that is also something that contributes to the craft having significantly less "soul" than other older and less complex aircraft. But in the end it's just up to how you define soul in a machine I guess... but to me a typewriter has more soul than a computer. ...all good reasons why a sim about that plane would be extremely boring.

Hm... is that a bug, or how does that work? :huh:

The F-22 might be a very efficient aircraft. But IMO the plane has no soul, no history, and an uncertain future. And as I'm not a F-22 pilot I don't care for the thing one bit. When it comes to simulations it's just an ugly POS that takes away much of the fun in gaming and only fits in future war scenarios fighting "terrorists", let's just say that's not my cup of tea. Nor is the F-22 (quite obvious isn't it?).

I've always been told that tornados can pull roofs off... I guess it's true.

Me likey! :)

Sounds nice... *goes to watch some Tour of Duty episodes*

Next time they should let the guys at design be in on the new stick.

Hey! Israel are the good guys... aren't they? "uhm... in this book it says that this land is ours... but their's already people living here... what to do... lets just push them together in some small peices of land and keep them there by a wall of steel, no one can judge us, we're doing the right thing, because it says so in a book"

The question is what, or rather who, will push them over the edge...

Total fake.

In the future there will be super fast drones with radar and optical tracking devices that can be carried by fighters, then sent away to a specified area and find the enemy and then guide missiles to the target, radar-stealth wont do much good once the drone can see you. It would most likely be impossible to break lock too if you don't destroy the drone.

As for proof; you've all seen Iron Eagle III haven't you?

Check out the Viggen simulator this guy is building. http://mobil.flygsimulator.se/

Seems like the new ground vehicles have more polygons than LockOn's aircraft :o

I would like to see the new WAFM i action. Please?

While at the same time being a very important part of any simulation.

The new ground vehicles looks really good... I sure hope they have some more advanced destruction/damage modeling too... maybe a few different wreckage types?

Say what?? I just bought GalCiv2... you mean that I'm supporting piracy in some way... please explain.

All the planes can't refuel in the air... but those who can in real life can in the game.

When the first is started up and has been running good for a while and you don't think there's a problem with it. :D

Clickable cockpit is only available in the Ka-50 helicopter that will be included in the upcoming 'Black Shark' addon, also referred to as 'LockOn 1.2'. Oh... and welcome! :D

Maybe this for Black Shark?

I would think that what determines missile effectivness has very little to do with the actual missile, but more with things that determines in what situation the weapon is used, such as tactics, type of target, skill of the pilots and so on.

Or just post what you want to do in a mission and someone here will set it up for you :D

Making basic missions is really easy once you understand the editor so I suggest that you learn the editor, it's not hard at all. 1. Start the editor and press the ok button when the coalition window appear. 2. Select the aircraft button to the left 3. Choose a point on the map put the pointer over it and press the left mouse button, choose another point and press the left button there. This makes the aircraft go from point 1 to point 2. 4. Choose the aircraft type, speed, altitude, loadout, AI or player contol etc. with the controlls to the right. 5. Set up an enemy flight/ground unit in the same way as you set up your fligth, but select a country that is not in the same coalition as you.
