lol idle to burner, the 0-60 of aircraft :icon_supe

I think lock on is already the best flight sim out there in terms of giving you a sense of flying. This would make it even better :) Also another thing I noticed from watching videos on patricksaviation.com is :o the head doesnt stay in the exact center of the cockpit throughout the flight.

So how about making the wings flap up and down durring hard maneuvers? http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos.php?action=view&id=8 you can see here (and anyone whos ever been in a plane sees this)

Thats exactly my dream game. Closest there is with todays technology is battlefield 2. Arcadey and the people who play it arent the most mature. Still more mature than counterstrike though :)

lol, I've never noticed the digital mach number on the HUD. I was just going by the speed guage which is really just an estimate :)

I think carrier wars would be great too. But I guess impossible since there are no American planes from the 80s that are 1 seater and meant for specifically dogfighting (no AG radar) I want ED to make somethign with the emphasis of American vs Russian/German air superiority. Then Id want them to do the precision strikes. F15Cs guarding a package of F16s with laser guided bombs aimed towards a major city or something. I dono why, I just dont think tank killing appeals to me very much.

can someone confirm that hyperlobby IS comming back online?

what the hell is all this 1.12a talk? I thought it wasnt out yet. Or are you guys beta testers? and btw, Ive discovered the wonders of the sparrow in single player :) cant test it out online though, dam hyperlobby :(

well Id just like to point out that Mexico is the capital of UFO sightings these days :) anyone see that floating humanoid lady? Thats fricken creepy. Looks like some burnt up dead lady thats floating around and spinning in the air slowly.

Its possible, get a full fuel tank, no weapons/externals, and get to about 37k feet. The prime altitude for speed is very slim between 35k and 40k. Then full afterburner, the plane will burn off fuel, and woala, mach 2.5 :)

I see, so I should load them like I would an AIM 9.

So the AIM7 takes an awful lot more work to get a hit with, since staying locked on to a target for a minute or two within 10 miles means almost certain death, are there any advantages as to why I should load my plane with these instead of AMRAAMS?

ehh I'll stick to my fire and forget AMRAAM :)

thats what everyones been saying, but is there really any proof of this? I dont want this to be one of those things someone blew out of their ass and everyone assumed it to be true, then later it turned out to be wrong. If this is official word from ED, well then I didnt know :)

Well heres my stories. I remember in an airplane once seeing a small white dot out the window, too clear to be a glare on the window (I even rubbed my eyes to make sure) flying too fast and too straight to be a bird. And, in the 90s mostly, I used to hear extremely low pitched sounds, "airquakes" I guess they call it.

thrust vectoring+ramjet?

yes, please do share

you mean you other guys dont press H?

I would say your HUD resolution. mine sucks compared to that.

How many of those planes were remote control? It hard to tell!

Cool, Im installing FC now. Cant wait to fly the F117 :)

WOW HUGE difference! I bumped up the settings and put AA to 4x, and there is even an FPS improvement. btw I use a radeon 9550.

Haha, tried it. Pretty cool, except you have no control over the plane except for the rudders and elevators. Also cant fire weapons. Anyone know how to fix it so it works the way it does in that server?

haha cool, except I hate Russian cockpits. Now if it were an F15 cockpit... :)

so what cockpit does it use? And how would you launch cruise missles? lol
