Hi Razor, greetings from a position about 50 miles north-east of you. Very nice pit you have there. Got a question for you. Are you by any chance using the X-keys on a Vista machine ? I'm trying to use X-keys with MacroworksII on my computer, but I'm seeing strange keypresses being generated when I check them with sticktest. For instance : shift-home get preceeded and followed by Num-lock-down and num-lock-up. Shift-L doesn't work well either : it shows shift-down, L-up, L-down, shift-up. Greetings from Limburg.

Thanks mate. Wasn't able to go there myself this year. Was there last year and bought my CH-gear there.

What hardware was BS running on ?

Dagger, www.simw.com has TIR4PRO for 159 Euros, and asks 24 Euros to send it to Sweden. VAT included. I'd also recommend getting the TrackClip Pro, so mebbe you wanna hold off until they bundle Tir4 with the trackClip Pro. The regular 6DOF clip that fits on the cap works well, but with the Trackclip you don't have to wear that hot hat while flying.

Would this help ? http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=633&highlight=lomac+slew

Damn, I didn't know Global Warming was simulated in Lomac.:D

Thank you fellas.:thumbup:

Dank u :thumbup:

Hey fellas, I don't know if there ever was one made (thought I saw a screenshot of it once) but I'm looking for a canopy liftline mod for the F15 for 1.12. Can anyone point me to that ? Thanks

Hello all, tried searching the board but found nothing so I don't know if this is a known bug or not. I like to get into my F-15 and go gunzo against the SU27 in the fast battle planner. I cheat a bit by selecting unlimited weapons. The thing is that after one of us shoots the other one, and I click "Fly" on the debrief screen to go for another round the unlimited weapons setting is no longer active and you only have the standard number of bullets to fire. Bug or feature ?

Hi mate, Tunguska's are capable of self-defense against an incoming Maverick. Just do a search on these forums and you'll see this has been seriously discussed in the past.

@ggg what projector are you using ?

Last year I was at Fairford RIAT. Best and biggest airshow and static I ever saw. Here's some pictures from that, and some pics from a visit to the Kleine Brogel airbase in 2004. http://users.telenet.be/bengo/

Incidently found this for anyone having troubles getting through their router in F4. http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/BT/Voyager2000/Falcon_4.htm

That used to be true in a past version of F4, but not with AF. I'd say the gear nowadays can take some serious punishment before it breaks. Both I think. In the 2D-pit in F4 you can literally click every button in the cockpit with your mouse, so it actually simulates a real F-16 cockpit. The F-16 avionics are in fact more advanced because it has to be able to handle all the different weapons systems A-A and A-G (laser guided bombs, mavericks, cluster bombs, dumb bombs, HARM's) So you see, with F4 you can do what you can't do with the American airplanes in LOMAC.

Ok, seems you are well informed in that area. Thanks for the update. Users who are behind a router do have to take some simple additional steps to connect, but from what I've heard it's not all that difficult. I'm on a cable-connection and MP-connection works flawless, without any extra steps. There are indeed very few severs around, because AF in multiplayer is mostly flown by virtual squadrons. There's one campaignserver up all the time at Multiviper, which you can compare more or less with the Lomac-Hyperlobby-experience. But the true force of a sim (be it LOMAC or F4AF) lies in multiplayer with comms. Planning, flying and bringing a mission to a good end with a couple of other guys over the internet can't be beat. Remember, in real life a fighter isn't fighting a one-man-war. Each flight has a purpose and at least two pilots flying it. Different flights, each with their own task (SEAD, CAP, AG...), make up a package, and it is that package that will work together to achieve the missiongoal of one of the flights. Comms are crucial in this way of flying.

Very much not so, I'm afraid. You've got to have your sh!t very much together on the landing part, because it is not scripted at all. Mebbe the data LP has on the AMRAAM differs from what ED has. It is known that the AMRAAM in LOMAC is seriously handicapped. Mmm, I think in real life the F-16 is not capable of engaging multiple targets at once with A-to-A weapons. The ramp start feature is great, and adds to the imersion. BTW, you don't have to do the rampstart every mission you fly. You can choose how to start your mission : rampstart/Taxi/takeoff. I totally disagrea with you here. AF is very MP friendly, and combined with comms (Ventrilo, Teamspeak...) flying AF in a squad is the best out there. In the old days there were a lot of problems connecting to eachother, but ever since AF our squad hardly had any (if any at all) problems with connections. The fact that the graphics are a bit dated is caused by the fact that the core of this sim (not game) is in fact 8 years old. LP picked up F4 and updated it to AF, but there's limitiations in such a process. They took it as far as it would let them. Adding HiTiles and DrStops pit (about 12$ each IIRC) takes AF to a different level.This 'old tecnology' also acts to the fact that "you don't need a Cray" to run it. ;) Also, the way you can do recon before you actually fly a mission is very good. BTW britgliderpilot, the AWACS chattering to all packages-thingy can be bypassed by switching your radio to the appropriate channel. All in all both sims are good in their own way. My personal favorit is F4 because I prefer to fly something that mimics the real thing as close as possible, over graphics. But I do like to take the A-10 in LOMAC for a spin and rain destruction on a few tanks, trucks and buildings. Sorry Pilotasso, but I had to correct a few wrongs in your post there so Arbitrator could have a proper view on the situation.

Thnks for the offer Neo :thumbup: , but I'm afraid it doens't go well with my timeschedule.

So, what kind of flying is going on then ? With no comms I can't imagine all pilots are well aware of their task to obtain the mission goals. Mind you, I wouldn't mind a bit of 'airquake' now and again. Cool

Been thinking of doin' some HL with my FC-install. However, when I go check out the different TS server that are announced in HL I found (almost)no-one there, although there are 17 people in a game at that moment. How do I hook up with you people to see if I can get in the game and talk to the other pilots ? I don't think it's appreciated if I just crash into a game when all other pilots are already flying the mission, is it ? Thanks

Try turning off hardware soundacceleration in dxdiag.

Guys, I think your throtlle isn't properly set up in Lomac. Without setup, only the right engine is controlled properly by the throttle, so : max thrust right, less thrust left, hence the left hand turn. Look for Precog's Saitek set up thread over on Ubi-forums. It's nicely explained there :http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=400102&f=38610606&m=70710157

Neither could I. It only appeared when I chose 'Options' or 'Logbook' in the main menu. I could fly the quick missions, by clicking on the airplanes to the right in the main menu. Did you do that after patching up to 1.12 ?? You definatly need to do that after the patch.

Hehehe, had the same thing yesterday after patching to 1.12. It was Norton asking if I wanted to grant Lockon.exe access to internet. Problem was, I didn't see the dialog box appear and thought my computer had locked up. I got to see the dialog box by starting up again an choosing options or logbook in the main menu, I can't remember which. Hope it helps

Thank you. It was indeed a heavy FPS hit.
