  1. Your right, 1 year is not long enough to get kinks worked out :P better wait for BS ... :smilewink:
  2. Yes I'm sure they would put a buggy aircraft in service with 70% of its systems off that can barely fly...I mean after all who cares about risking pilots lifes and hundreeds of millions of dollars in technologie. :noexpression: I get the point that it could be seen as a threat for an enemy country to aquire a stealth aircraft when you dont have one...but Im pretty sure no one would start bombing that country because they "might attack us with no reason with their ubber planes"...honestly
  3. That as got to suck. I would guess the only thing to do if a F-22 spikes you is to turn away from it and run...I know thats what I would do rather then eat a '120 shot in the front teeth. So are you saying the F-22 is the biggest mistake in aviaion history ? Or the fact that no other country as made a equivalent is a mistake ? /confused :helpsmilie:
  4. Not really as they use the same controls ("rudder pedals" not "nose wheel steering pedals") :)
  5. Rudders are for taxi. Or if you lose an engine I guess :P Useless in normal flight, and confusing in formation, as rudder mouvements might be interpreted as order to change formation type...thats my 2 cents anyways.
  6. I'm builduing a new system and theres no way im getting vista until threads like this one stop popping up :) XP is kinda cheap now anyways and you can even get XP with a coupon of some sort to upgrade to vista when you feel your ready. Of course if your computer came with it...but even then I still think I would format and use XP.
  7. Well that chart is actually old but if you look at the prices now you can get a E6400 for 5$ more then an AMD x2 5000+ and they perform nearly the same and I know for a fact you can push the E6400 to 3ghz with a 30$ fan wich will make it perform like a AMD 64 FX-62 stock. But anyways he is planning on getting a 3800+ not a 5000+ and there are no Core 2 duo's in the 3800+'s price range but for 100$ more he can get a E6300 wich performs at least 15% better stock...but like I said "if its an option for you" .
  8. Well from what I know the F15 in Lomac as a 60 degree azimuth for the radar wich you can change to 30 degrees (shift + ...I think). So turning 30 degree or more from the target would indeed make you break lock as 60 degrees is total (30 left/30 right). Also remember the closer the target his the thiner thats 60 degrees is. Just for an example take a triangle from a corner, the further you go from the corner the more space there is between the sides so 60 degrees at 10 nm makes a huge search range compared to 60 degrees at 1 nm.
  9. I think he meant he was buying an AMD x2 3800+. But your still going to be better off with a core 2 duo if its a possibility for you. Get a E6400 or a E6300 they'r dirt cheap and perform better for the price then AMD.
  10. Yeah its one of those new "Environmental-Friendly" missiles.
  11. Try Saitek ? Maybe they sell spare parts..tell em the spring melted from friction of evading all those R77's :joystick: :megalol:
  12. It would help in Lomac if you played in a very high resolution. But anything bellow 1600x1200 is nothing for a 8800 wont even make it sweat. Get a 30 inch monitor crank the rez to ~2500x1900 and youll see you get the same fps as you do now...except youll hear those 2 8800's screaming for more.
  13. Not in a Laptop as I found out the hard way :cry:
  14. Yup definetly. Like all those mods for FS9 and FSX that ppl pay 10$ or 20$ for. I wouldnt mind at all giving 20$ if it helps get the model back. After all Walmis is the one who put all that time in making it so we can enjoy it the least we can do is help him get it back. If I was taking all the hours it must have taken to get this model the way it is and then lost it... P.S. Walmis it's not like you would be selling your model to customers. I would much rather consider us all as friends helping a friend out of a tight spot.:pilotfly:
  15. Hi extrem welcome to the forums :) Ill put it as IguanaKing once put it :P Theres a secret key to fire the missiles in the US planes. If you go ingame and do the tutorials or read the manual they give out that secret key along with a lot of usefull information. Id give the key to you but i cant remember it so you might have to go look it up :)
  16. I thought Amraam top speed was mach 4 ? me going 350 knots...kinda like more then 2.5 times faster me thinks.
  17. Sorry about my comment earlier Cali I wasnt trying to be mean or make fun of you I just found it funny that we never have ED people come on and give stats like that except when you do some serious research they show up and shoot it down :P (ie: ECM blinking thread wich could have used ED's imput like 10 times more) By the way I think its cool you made all those test I was wondering why my amraam's took forever to hit target making the fight WVR instead of BVR unless you drag or turn around. I mean technically the missile is supposed to go like what, 10x faster then my jet ? Maybe down to 3x or 4x if Im burner for a whyle when I launch (wich isnt supposed to happen for realisms sake).
  18. GrandSlammed by the ED guy :smartass:
  19. Very cool indeed :O Never saw ejection that clear and so close.
  20. Amen to that. All im waiting for is to see what ATI comes up with to choose a chipset that will support either SLI or Crossfire.
  21. Yes I realise that what bugs me is that it took 2 years to do that. And all we will have is a chopper... I know it sets the base for more but were not getting more at the moment are we ? I would more then gladly sign up to some sort of VIP club for 20$ or whatever and get some news as how the project is going, and that would get some more funds to hire ppl to make things go faster... Make a chopper if you like, hell make a god damn space shuttle jsut dont "waste" 2 years on it leaving the rest "bugged"... Im out of this thread as all Ive done so far is piss ppl off it seems...
  22. Yes I was including modeling in "bugs" but its all good im not saying I dont like the game I love it but I think losing 2 years on a chopper instead of fixing the rest or making a new game is a waste. Again thats my opinion and i like the game so dont pick on me :P
  23. Im not gonna argue everyone is entitled to their opinion but tell me, whats the point of wasting 2 years on 1 chopper instead of fixing the rest of the bugs? Yes 1 good sim is better then 10 bad ones...the thing is, is it good yet ?
