Everything I've ever heard / read would lead me to believe that due to the instability inherent to fighters, they tend to stay at the attitude you move it to, and not to drift or keep banking once you stop moving the stick. Scott28, I believe you are on to something, I think the flight model is slightly flawed in this area.

What do we gain by the F-15 model ? Isn't that cosmetics too ? Point being .. cosmetics are a good thing.

Finally a good explanation .. how hard could it be reprogram the missiles and make them work like they don't ? Nice post ! :doh:

I'm not knocking your work .. it looks fantastic and I'm glad you are doing it. A question though ... is why is there a UNS Flight Management Computer under the HUD ? That's pretty much a commercial aviation thing isn't it ?

I would guess that if you lock a target with EOS but have a radar missile selected, you will be transmitting and detected. I don't know anything about it .. but that would make some sense. IR won't guide a radar guided missile for sure.

Dumbass yes, to say he deserves his injuries is pretty stupid

I hope nobody listens to this .. I can see this sim getting farther and farther away from a jet simulator and into a first person helicopter shooter ...

Heck, why not just make all missiles fly straight like a bullet ? I disagree with anybody who thinks that a missile being fired at them would not make them completely on the defensive. If you have a missile on the way, and I think any fighter pilot for any country would agree ... that is your top priority. You are no longer worried about shooting people down, you are worried about not being blown to bits.

If missiles were really that inaccurate, we wouldn't have F-15's and F-22's now would we ? A P-51 or an F-86 would still be perfectly adequate.

? Just say no to drugs !

From what I've gathered, the general thinking from the guys that have flown fighters is that the flight model and feeling of flight is what brings them here. The online environment allows for some very realistic formation / mission flying. The dogfighting is very realistic and has a good feel. Avionics aren't too good nor the weapons / radar. The other things i've heard is that the real guys have pushed enough buttons in their liftime and aren't too concerned with the lack of buttons / switches.

Give him a break .. simple typo ... he got hit with a slamon.:doh:

Did this ever convince any of you server operators to give us some better view behind us ?

Same here .. best of luck, have fun !

Na .. I'm just a babbling baffoon

:blow:

And my age .... When I was at Lackland .. it was the old school where men were men ! They once made us jog a mile and a half ... and only gave us 2 days to complete it in ! Marines ain't nothin ! OOOORRRRRRAAAAAHHHH

He was a beginning student in our squad training program.

Nobody's mad at you for quitting .. it's a free world. Our only concern is the security of our manual and our training program which were both designed long before you joined our group. We worked very hard on both and do not wish to see them distributed to any other squadron without our consent.

Vast experience ? Is he a fighter pilot ? Where did his experience come from ? Just curious ...

Not to mention a stick worthy of any space ship loving alien sim pilot. The thing is just goofy looking lol.

I'm the guy RHEN referred to ... I did have a pot go bad which is no good considering I just got it.. the good news is I emailed thrustmaster lastnight and I have a pot on the way today. It's covered under warranty, but if it wasn't , it's only eight bones for a new pot. I also have hall sensors on the way so it is fair to say that if you buy one, you will drop some bucks on it, but I'd do it all over again .. it's a really nice stick .. very solid ... once you get used to it, you'll be flying formation like you never thought possible.

I give up ? What's the difference ?

A question / request to those operating servers: Could you guys consider changing the view limitations so we can swivel our little virtual noggins around further ? It would be nice to take the virtual neck brace off so we can see behind us better. Thanks.

Very impressive without a doubt ! Seems to be alot of interest in airshow type formations / flying. Does anyone have any screens of their squadrons flying typical military / non airshow formations ? Doesn't seem to be much interest in this. Anyone that has ever lived near or visited an airforce base has seen a fourship come up initial in a nice tight echelon formation and pitchout knows what I mean ! Let's see some pictures of that too !
