Robert L. Shaw "Fighter Combat Tactics and Maneuvering"

Release an AFM SDK for a fee and let 3rd party do the work and charge what they want. Kind of like FS9? P.S. I would pay... mostly because I'd like to see the LOMAC series continued, upgraded, expanded... instead of having a seperate game for each A/C which seems to be the direction things are going. I like the survey sim aspect, and would prefer they spent time bring each aircraft to a study sim level.

Interesting comments, I'll try and work the antenae elevation more judiciously and see if I can avoid losing the track and report back. I'm just working off memory right now, but I didn't think you could adjust the elevation while a PDT is locked... I guess that could be my problem.

So it is a bug then?... not a "feature" of the F-15C's radar?

With a target locked up BVR in either RWS or TWS modes I am consistently losing lock at 20nm regardless of height, speed or angle-off. Is anyone else experiencing this radar "blindspot"?

Don't die?

I noticed this bug in 1.11 but it has become much more prevalent in 1.12, nearly every flight starts with some corruption.

...on the map. Sim Freak looks like Eric Bana methinks...

The radar scan volume represents the frustum of a pyramid, which appears as a triangle when viewed from above. The VSD however, is rectangular. Doesn't that mean there will be some error in angular measurements in the same way map projections (representing a sphere on a flat surface) have limitations in the way they represent geographical features. I don't really know a whole lot about radar though, just throwing the idea out there.

Anyone reporting this bug with a clean install? I'm not going though the work of reinstalling if it's not going to make a difference...

1.02 does not include Starforce copy protection.

- Standard Flight Model aircraft are no longer jerks on takeoff moment in MP. hehe.

Are you saying we cannot install over 1.11?

Lmao, nice one. Perhaps you could some up a few of the other 10+ page threads for us.

Awesome tribute... I grew up dreaming of flying the Tomcat and it's actually heartbreaking to know no matter how hard I try now I'll never have that chance. At the same time I'd be thrilled to make it into the Airforce flying any fighter but the Tomcat is my first and only love.

eDimensional were also backordered when I ordered mine! They have stock again now but it's obvious the TrackIR is growing in popularity!

- fixed F-15C HSI in dogfight modes crosses fingers

Beauty, thanks.

The MiG-25RBT is working well. It maneuvers well enough to demonstrate that a shoot cue at Rmax doesn't mean you will bring down your target and not only due to the use of countermeasures.

I know, I don't have HL installed as I prefer to connect directly and have as few things running in the background as possible.

How about a stat that tracks the number of friendly aircraft shot down while you are present on the server. Might give an idea of how well people are looking out for each other? I'm looking forward to hopping onto your server sometime soon. Would someone be kind enough to post the IP, port and password? Thanks.

Have you or your friend changed the visibility range settings at all? There are settings in the Graphics.cfg file that determine clipping/LOD distances for objects. If you have ModMan installed, you can go to "Graphics Settings" from the main menu and more easily adjust the various values. If you don't have ModMan, go here and download it (free registration required), it really is a great utility.

Are you both playing at the same resolution?

Aha! Perfect, thanks Scythe. That should do just nicely.

I've tried that with friendly F-5E's and they still attempt to evade the missiles. The AI difficulty settings in game (Average, High, etc...) must control some numerical and logical parameters such as reaction time, decisions to engage etc and surely these could be set far below the average setting to create the desired effect. The question is where these parameters are stored and if they are user-accessible.
