  1. All i meant GG was (operating under the assumption that it wanted to be hidden) that if you did not want to be seen it was a bad move. However, ground based radar probably solves this problem anyways. lmao @ gunzo!
  2. Are those coordinates on the upper left hand side? They might be... the latter values seem to be moving faster than the beginning values. If I were the Georgians I would be citing that telemetry. That or citing the clear landmarks. Seriously dumb move to attack a UAV from below, right where its cameras are. No Georgian migs huh? Nice work from the camera operator! lol
  3. Just a small point of clarification... The main guy talking is the radar intercept officer in the back seat (rio)... Transcripts are on the net Please continue with Aim-120 discussion... These discussion should be had from time to time for the new people... and oddly enough, for the old people as well.
  4. To the original poster... It's not such an easy question... the only easy answer in all of your questions is yes, some people do cheat, but the vast majority do not. If you want to know whats going on in your engagements, grab the LOTU utility and watch your tracks of Multi-player sessions. It seems tedious but once you get the hang of it you can watch a track pretty quickly, and with all the labels on etc... What i think you may be experience is the natural "what the hell happened there" moments that newer people experience.
  5. Zoltar... Best advice is to not try to target the Tor (etc) directly... Usually the seeker just goes for what it wants in this scenario. Thus, try setting the seeker head 30 meters or so from the Tor and let the seeker "grab" the Tor. In the end, the firing lane you're firing in may not be conducive to the launch. Extend, offset 20 degrees or so, and find a better lane.
  6. Canuckles!! Go all out! Get some nice Beyerdynamics and mod a mic onto the side like i did... This is my favorite mod I have ever done. http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r198/Battle_Rattle/P10100qq63.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r198/Battle_Rattle/P1010qq057.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r198/Battle_Rattle/P1010129.jpg
  7. Lets see if other can confirm this stuff... Interesting though
  8. interesting... keep us posted Yoda. Any interest in going through driver settings and looking for differences? Possibly set your ideal AA AF and in game settings, then look for best visual image quality/performance with driver setting changes. Suspect? --- Texture Filtering - Anistropic sample optimization? THreaded Optimization -Off? .... mere guesses How is 3870 X2 (i.e. single card Crossfire) reacting? Our talk on IM's Yoda got me thinking that I do need to jump onto this generation.
  9. A huge salute to you Fudd!! We will keep it going... Just will have to make some changes. :)
  10. I couldn't bring myself to buy a card thats over a year old (8800gtx)... I know thats bad rationale, I keep up on benchies more than anyone here probably but, its just the way I feel. lol Heck... depending what you're coming from and what you play, I would even consider the 9600gt's out right now. Any chance you can hold out? For the 9800GX2 .... skip the 9800GTX... its a ridiculous card.
  11. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=thread+jacking
  12. LockOn Files link is now fixed... and I invite all interested to start a post elsewhere about the merits of mirrors... lol ;)
  13. Lets keep this on topic... In essence, What changes in FPS do you see while benching with different specs or settings? etc...
  14. LINK IS DEAD UNTIL LOCKONFILES REUPDATES SOME TEXT CHANGES I MADE TO THE DECRIPTION
  15. I posted a 187 second track on Lockon Files to get solid comparisons between your own settings and others. The track consists of ground attack on a small (in town) AI column, and a short dog fight above the thunderstorm clouds Download link is ok now http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=129&lid=1084&title=1.1xx%20Benchmark%20Track#dldetails Obviously graphics settings will matter, so post those. Test bed: E8400 @ 4.1Ghz 8800GTS 640mb @ 640 core 923 mem 2GB DDR2 @ 912Mhz 1920x1200 With absolutely everything turned on and up Min, Max, Avg 0, 48, 23 Here's the FPS at bare minimum 800x600 everything on low or off Min, Max, Avg 49, 222, 103 _____________________________________________ at 1920x1200 everything high except water, no mirrors, no reflections, no scratches Fraps showed Min, Max, Avg 0, 145, 49.487 Same setting but at 1280x1024 showed Min, Max, Avg 0, 158, 56.294 Notice the big 0 for the minimum sections, lockon is still a pain in the butt in the minimums. Mods also factor in... Here are mine
  16. Fudd WAS a beta tester lol Even a machine 20-30% less powerful than this one would still do awesome at any setting you wish I think. If you are unsure and are shooting for the best then wait and see Nvidia's response to 3870x2 ... Should be coming out in the next 2-3 months... and frankly, it should be faster than the 3870X2. But for those buying today, 3870X2 makes alot of sense, not the necessarily the best sense (thats up to you,) just alot.
  17. Ahhh yes... From Poland to Canada to the USA and all points surrounding, they really do control everything. lmao Canuck... no worries dude, you've been hanging out in the community and with 3Sqn for quite a while. You need a new rig to match your still growing lockon skill. You were a good student...
  18. favorably... But they wont give you those prices if you want a 3870x2... It really comes down to that. Also... Remember that you have to ADD the operating sytem price and factor tax
  19. lol Secret Sub base - Balaklava http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Balaklava_entrance_of_the_submarine_base_2006.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balaklava
  20. Yeh thats a nice 10 second SuperPi run, I wonder if he could play LockOn for 4 hours on that?
  21. ok so this is the HD3870X2... 2 GPU's on one card Its pretty compelling... To get the most out of it you should really get a X38 or x48 (with DDR2 Ram) (Both kind pricey) Chipset because it has PCIe 2.0 express. ATI will have better drivers for this card as well. Performance should really go up as drivers come out. May have troubles with Dual monitors but even if, it won't affect you. I really like this card, it'll be loud and hot (probably won't OC well) but it will do very well. It will fit in your case I would (just for leeway) up the PSU up a bit to the Corsair HX620 or the like. If you are going to go this way, but it quick, before the price gouging starts Here's a thread.... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=174212
  22. Here a little insight into how the gigabyte board overclocks the E8400... He's a newbie at overclocking too.... 3.8Ghz http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1265295 Once he gets over the fear he'll be at 4Ghz+ easily
  23. Pull the trigger yet? Call PCV and see when their E8400's are in.... mines on the way
