For guys that do a lot of virtual flying the boys over at http://www.vatsim.net/ do some really cool, immersive stuff for FSX/FS9. I know its wishful thinking but sure would be cool if there was a virtual atc like they are doing now in fsx in the future DCS modules. Imagine a multi game with both jets and helos talking to a real person in the tower. anyway if you are into FSX check out the vatsim stuff, very very cool

I had the same problem untill I realized I had drank too many beers and it was my head that was bobbing and not the shark...:P

Im no expert, but i know the black shark is not an A2A platform, that said... it is possible to lock up and get missile kills on enemy helos with the shckval , and the same with cannons, tho it seems if you get close enough for the cannon the enemy is already peppering you with cannon fire.(this is all based on in game action only of course) Let the fast movers take care of the skies and we just move mud :)

I know everyone hates starforce, but i have never had a problem with it at all, (got LOMAC when it released) and having it on my machine dosent bother me in the least

I started out this sim in full realism mode, and without those execllent tutorials I never would have gotten off the ground... Sounds like this guy would rather play desert strike on genisis lol to each they're own I guess

I find that if i trim out to minimize all movement and then hit auto-hover i get much better results, was having similar issue as you.

Oops found my answer

Thanks all, It was me not turning on engine de-ice that caused the problem. After that it was no sweat to get over the mountains, although the fight waiting on the other side took a few tries...

That is the correct file path, and it does work as I had done it a few days ago when i diddnt realisze reset pilot means start campagain over! No way was i going to do the fam flight a third time :)

heres the track if anyone has a sec to look at, its an ugly flight, but near the end you can see how i just cant keep up positive climb, as you can see i lose it about 3800m and then just cant recover any kind of upward altitude, like im fighting the bird just to maintain current alt. thanks noheight.trk

ok i must be doing somtjhing wrong, I take off, turn and maintain general runway heading at about 130-150km have a good climb going, get warning to turn on rotor de-ice, do that, continue to climb, get up to about 4200m and then i just lose my climb ability, my climb gauge slowly bleeds off to nothing, then negative when i get into the mountains. I'll try agin and maybe post a track unless im doing something wrong..

great, thank you, and now off to finish the mission!

Hi guys, Playing through the campagin deployment, and have a problem on "the other side" mission I follow my waypoints, but cant seem to get enough altitude to cross the mountains, any ideas on whats wrong? looks like im capped out at about 3200 meters, but my abris tells me to go right over the mountain, i need at least another 1000m to clear, I attached a screenshot that shows where i am stuck as well as my abris, and altimiter, i just cant get the bird to go any higher, ideas? Thanks

Hi guys, Going to get some rudder petals to more enjoy the game, but wondering what opionions are on which are better?, current owners of either have anything you really dislike about it? They are about the same price, and i wont use for anything other than flight sims. If It makes any diff my Flight stick is a Saitek X52. Thanks!

Simply awsome how detailed this sim is :thumbup:

Womble I'll give you $30.00 for your copy of this fantastic game. Iget a deal, and i can give a copy to my buddy so i have an online wing-man to fly with.. whattya think?

Hiya guys, Longtime lomac player and really enjoying the game so far, but had a couple questions. I have learned everything on hard mode, as i found long ago with lomac labels and easy radar ect are a disservice to your online skill. (the first day before i poured over the trimming threads i was very frustrated lol ) But have a few questions about the game. on the abris, in map mode is it possible to "move" the map other than the Zoom in and out? like scroll to the target area and zoom way in? I find it sometimes difficult to distinquish armor types, any Siloutte type pdfs or anything like the sub sims have boat sils? after so many years of hitting russian hardware from above Im not used to shooting at M1a1s! I have no pilot in my seat (like look down and no legs, ect) Is this correctable? and if so is editing in something like a kneeboard as easy as it was in LOMAC? Lastly what is this warning tone/light? Im assumeing it has to do with over stressing the rotors or airframe but im not sure - pic below Sorry for my awful spelling:music_whistling: Thanks all and see ya Online soon!

Or Dr. Evil's secret underground lair?

Ok I'll give that a shot.. thanks Ironhand

Still looking for some help here.. I went ahead and dropped my resolution to 800x600 and I do have the cursor showing up now.. but on the replay it is not where I want it.. seems to be the correct movments I made, but just off a ways.. Anyone have an idea?

Hello! I am finishing up a track file I have been working on, and have gotten to the point where I add the mouse cursor. I use alt+0 to turn it on and off, seems to work fine when I am in video edit mode, but when the track is finished and saved the cursor does not show up in the track? I see it at the very beginning, like the first mouse stroke and then nothing.. I have tried several "test tracks" where I try different things, Like keeping alt+0 active the entire time, turning It on and off, and it just dosent work. I do see the red "Mouse pointer active" indicator when I press alt+0 put in the finished product all i sse to have is the very first mouse stroke. I do have a very short "test track" that shows the problem I can forward on if anyone can take a look. I am using a USB mouse, and my resolution is 1680x1050 (monitors naive res) either of these cause the problem? Anyone know what could cause this? Thanks

Ya I really enjoyed this little teaser too, I like the way you eased us in, and the refuel misssion was my first try at it too! took me half the day to get it right. Really enjoyed it and look forward to more from you

PS if any kindhearted soul out there has birdys missions in they're lockon folder and can find the time to email them to me that would be great. email is Davesell@gmail.com thanks

Hi guys, recently I saw a couple of short Mission packs made by Birdy, Snowy Dandra and Trains Somthing. The download links are all down, anyone have these hosted elsewhere that I could pluck them from? Thanks!

Really interested in flying these missions but the Download ink is down, hosted anywhere else? also diddnt you have a train based mission on here? Thanks
