Agreed! But it now means I have to hold off on marriage and kids until after all the modules are released :P

Killer update - it's made my day. Thanks Wags/ED!

Geebus. The guy must have balls of steel.

Couldn't be more wrong mate! :) It looks great so far, thanks for the effort!

You can purchase an 'educational' version of 3DS Max. But...you can only use it for 1, or maybe 2 years, before you have to pay for the full version.

hehe. You thinkin what I'm thinkin?

Wow, a celebration day. :yay: Thanks fellas! Between a new A-10 model for Lock On and GTA IV, I'm gonna have a pretty full week!

That's a nice model! But British Airways? I'm surprised to see it flying :P

Cool! The bullet holes on the A-10 look awesome!

Grandsurf, SimWare sell those covers, and they are based in Europe.

hehe. DCS: Home Wrecker

Cool, thanks Groove!

Anyone else having problems downloading this? The download just doesn't start for me at all

Bloody hell grandsurf. That looks great!

The 4 monitor setup is Urze's beast of a rig. He outlined the setup up in this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=29462 Essentially, he uses three video cards. One for the two middle/main monitors (in vertical span mode), and two less powerful cards - one each - for the side monitors. He also uses *free* software that does the same thing as Tripehead2Go. Regarding your setup: obviously any talk of hardware requirements for Black Shark could only be guess-work at the moment, but your PC is hardly something to balk at :P It should be fine. If you see BeachAV8R's article here: http://www.simhq.com/_air11/air_346a.html - it includes the specs of his setup, which is not that powerful (sorry Beach! hehe), but seems to run Black Shark well enough. Windows XP64 *I think* you have to pay for, even if you have XP32 already (don't quote me on that!). It's not like Vista where if you bought the retail Vista32, you can just order the 64-bit version. Ultimately, with your kit, you'd be better off focusing on obtaining (lie, cheat, steal - if you have to!) HOTAS and the TrackIR first!

I like how you expect the guy in the uniform to stop people from pushing, but he just goes ahead and helps them push...

Hey, Happy birthday!

I have a question aswell Urze. It looks like your touch screen monitor is smaller than the main monitor. If so, I assume they're running in different resolutions? And if that's the case, how did you get the two monitors to run in vertical span mode?

Ah, I forgot about the Mi-28. It's more like a war pig. Squeee!

Hind, Cobra, Ka-50, both Apaches - pretty much because they look cool

Done and done. An F-18 stick and split throttle sure does sound sweet.

Haha, the first section is priceless! They must have been laughing at you :P Thanks for the vid!

Haha, yeah what the hell is wrong with this country? Snowing in Spring! :P

I don't think that this issue is a result of the types of missions that have been created for the servers and, no offence to you guys, but I just don't think it's something that you're going to be able to change. I just think it's a typical behavioural thing that can be seen in pretty much all multiplayer games – FPS, strategy, whatever. I’m not sure what urges someone not to play as a team in Lock On, but it could be one or more of the following: 1.No mic/no Teamspeak or Ventrilo - Whenever I join a game, I make sure Teamspeak is running, but most of the time I’m the only one on the Teamspeak server, even if there’s 20 people in the Lock On server. 2.Possible language barrier 3.The ‘glory factor’ someone mentioned earlier – ie just there for the frags 4.There’s a possibility that a lot of people join a game to wind down by playing for an hour or two, so don’t want to get into a co-ordinated game. 5.Can’t be bothered Just a couple of suggestions: a)I’ve never joined the SimHQ ArmA server, but read some of the posts about it over on their forums, and it looks like when you join the server during the evenings (US time) and don’t announce yourself on their TS server, you pretty much get booted. Simply because they want to run a co-ordinated game. A similar approach could be taken, but I’m not sure how many people you’d end up with in the server. b)Run something similar to Black Sea Showdown. Choose a currently circulated map on your server, or create a new one, and announce a two or three hour time slot when you’re going to run a co-ordinated match. Invite people to join TS, say, an hour before the match is to begin. It doesn’t have to be on a massive level. Even if you get 20 people involved, that should still provide a pretty good game. However, I’m not sure how well this would work without a bit of prior registration and planning. [/novel]

Thanks for the photos, it looks like fun!
