someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed... :music_whistling: I think they look very impressive. I'll definitely get it!

I will most likely buy it too, but i'll definitely get it right away if it's an add on. I know there won't be any improvements to the original planes, but at least more bugs will be squashed. I'm also curious about the AIM-120A vs the C thing people keep talking about... I still believe it will be an add on.

Umm... you can't... only AI can.

i sure hope BS will not be stand alone. It may just leave FC alone in it's dust. I'm not only looking forward to the helo, but the improvements to lock on! If BS is stand alone... well, i will be very disappointed... I agree with you rattler and 7rooper: long live lock on!

just play online with comms and you wont need voice recognition.

no one ever goes to the chit chat forum way at the bottom of the main forum page. I agree, there should be another sub-forum for OT posts in the English forums. It would be more convenient. And I don't think the mods should remove posts, so long as the posts have OT on the front. If people don't want to deal with the OT posts, then they just don't have reply to them. It's quite simple.

any video, but like you said, no 3rd party effects. all in-game footage.

In TWS, you bug multiple targets. You can "lock" one by pressing TAB on one twice.(Bugging them, then locking them) The reason they are not "Locked" when you push TAB once (In TWS) is because the radar is tracking them, but not "following" them so to speak, because it needs to continue to search for targets. As a result, you must continue to keep adjusting the radar so that the target stays in the cone. (Or you lose lock) When you "Lock" a target, the radar tracks and follows the target. you no longer have to adjust the radar elevation and such, but you cannot track multiple targets because the radar is focused on one target.

NICE!!!

I took a picture of this at an air show. It was on an F-15A EDIT: I talked with the pilot too. I asked him about it and he didn't even know it said bomb rack on the pylon.

I'll have to try it, but i still have to finish the regular missions first. FSX is actually quite a good game! (despite it's bad reviews) And i love the structured missions.

Oops, sorry

If your using close range mode, make sure your radar is on. ("P" in hud) Press I to turn on radar and if an F appears, then don't shoot. Same thing happened to me. Thank you Ironhand for informing me.

really makes you hope BS will not be stand alone.

did you try running lock on as admin and in compatibility for windows XP SP2?

I too love RC, but not that great. Welcome aboard. Touch-buddy looks like the thing for you!

It's about a 1 year learning curve. Even I'm not that great, and I've had lockon for more than a year. Play online. You'll get shot down a lot, but you'll learn a lot faster than against the AI. As for techniques on evading the missiles in a BVR engagements, check out www.flankertraining.com/ironhand. you'll find your self going back there again and again. hope this helps

solution: upgrade to flaming cliffs. many bugs are fixed.

go for what ever you like. If you want the best of everything, then i reccomend the X-52 with TrackIR and if you want, petals. CH has no twist function, neither does the cougar (as far as i know. please correct me if i'm wrong) but this extra quality comes at a price. I have had very few issues with my X52 and am very satisfied with it. If 300 is your budjet, then it looks like the best you can d is an X52 and track IR or petals. don't get the X52Pro. it's an X52 with a few fixes and a new coat of paint... for $100 more. whatever you get, the HOTAS, petals and head tracker definitely add to the game.

:cry: very nice video

It's times like this that I'm ashamed to be an American... Australia! they should have gotten the codes! what was our gov't thinking!

I'll be getting petals for BS, but it will be nice for other sims. The X52? great stick for the money. I have in and have very few issues. (no significant ones either.) @ ED, I know I'm beating this one like a dead horse, but with the chopper done and the mission editor almost complete, do you have a more accurate estimate of the release date? Thanks.

read my sig ;)

well there is a thing called a coffee table, but... well I don't use it for coffee...

1: coffee table? Maybe... 2. Newspaper boy. 3. Winter sports or snow sports.
