Ha ha ha! VERY greatfull!

I see GA, it must be my ears then :P Don't get me wrong the sounds are cool, just a bit flat and discant-dominated if that makes any sense. Buuut if they're from real flares and missile launches, calling them synthesized is pretty far off, heh. As for sound delay, that's what I thought ;) Personally I'd tone them down by 30-50% I think, just from the percieved distance to the plane (and completely from the top of my head..) Ooooh, while I'm on the subject; have you considered putting in something showing off the 30mm supersonic ammo? Not sure if there are HE shells in LO that would make that work.. Anyways, keep up the good work!

Hmm, still no luck with the Rshift issue, after updating SST drivers. Lshift shows as "skift," not "shift" like for you Ethereal. Is that perchance indicating something about my keyboard or windows version/language? It's set to Norwegian after a friend fixed and formatted my computer.. Please, if anyone could help I'd be eternally greatfull, it's gonna be a huge pain having to change all those keycommands for all those planes every time I reinstall or patch the game :cry:

Wao! Looks amazing.. Engine sounds are perfect, but the flares and AGM launches sound a bit synthesized or artificial to me. Shouldn't at least the flares sound more like a "snap"-ish low-explosives sound, as this vid shows at around 3min30sec: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfeGPyQKaL0&feature=related? I love the sound delay though. Hollywood can go to a certain place where the sun don't shine if you ask me, realistic time-delay is about as cool as it gets for sound effects. Have you calculated distance/time etc to get it 100% right, or are you guesstimating it?

Download Tactview and use it to build your SA.. If you constantly go defensive 5 seconds too late, all the CM's, notches and extending in the world won't help you!

I know about as much about programming as my mum do (not a whole lot,) and I wonder how DCS A-10C can be compatible with Black Shark and not FC2 when BS is compatible with FC2, if that made any sense.. Anyways, I'll consider any compatibility between FC2 and DCS products to be a bonus, but a damn sweet one at that. A thought that springs to mind: If DCS moduels are planned to be compatible with each other; and they'll try to make A-10C as well as BS compatible with FC2, where will it stop? Surely at the first DCS fighter?

Wow, another bergenser! And nice vid.

Fantastisk!

Looks like "FAD PER HOUR" to me. Dunno what "FAD" might mean though; "LBS" would make sense.. Superb initiative by the way! The hog deserves a new pit :)

Ah, brilliant, thanks so much! And I meant to say Rshift.. And yes I'm certain, my profiler would not let me bind it. I will try updating the SST and see if that helps.

First: When I started customizing my x52pro profile, i ran into the following "porblem:" Lshift is unbindable on my joystick, so i had to manually change the keypresses for lots of radar commands, and I had to do it over for each flyable aircraft. Is there no way to change a keycommand for all planes at once? If not, could this perhaps be considered for a patch? Second: The limited 6dof head movements is all good when using Tir, but when not, it offsets my cockpitview to the degree of hiding parts of my scope, tews, etc. Any way to make this work like it did in FC 1.12b with my head stationary in the position of my choosing? Thanks in advance!

Uploading to email now, taking a while..

Your welcome. I could email you the manual+keycommand cards if you'd like.

Go to http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?end_pos=1852&scr=default for FC 2.0 training tracks. Check out http://flankertraining.com/ironhand/a2g.htm for more advances (and really professionally made) tutorials. I started on the Su-27 Flanker, and am very glad I did. In my opinion it has the steepest learning curve (I'm strictly talking about aerial combat here) of any LO fighter. You have to be smarter, more agressive and at the same time more careful when using this beauty, as it lacks active radar missiles. When you get the hang of the knife-edge walk it is to fly this plane in a battlezone, use it correctly, you can be quite effective vs you ARH-equipped opponents. And when you make it work, it's a fantastic feeling! BVR combat will also be easier for you later on if you decide to try the Mig or eagle. If you're into groundpounding the frogs are amazing! Good luck, hope to see you online soon

I have been belonging to the "block" that wants ARMs on the Su-27, mostly because it was so close to having the capability (with the cancelled R-27EAs and the R-77 that was just inplemented some year too late, or in the "wrong" exact model.) But this thread kinda inspired me, especially Fahh, Breakshot and Frostie's comments. I have always loved the Flanker, since I first saw it in a Fighter aircraft book I had as a kid. I love the way it handles, it's ridickulously heavy armament and internal fuel load, it's agressive looks; just about everything about it. I started flying lockon with it, I trained on it as my plane of choice with my squad, and the feeling of besting an ARH-equipped opponent is exhilarating. I have partly forgotten this over the last year or so, and your words made me think back.. Pretty incoherent post this I think, but the point is I agree- I love the flanker as it is, and I think I'll be seeing much more to it in the near future :) In a way, getting my ass severely handed to me in a 4vs4 against 51st was, in a way, quite heartening.

I think ED might just be my favourite company. You guys are amazing!

Yessss I love you ED! Congrats and thank you! Downloading now

Take your time, as long as it makes the product better that's always positive.

This will be getting my money! I actually suggested it in the FC 2.0 thread some months ago. An ultimate pack consisting of lo 1.1 (if possible,) FC 2.0, DCS black shark, printed manuals for both, and this awesome map all in one. I'd pay almost anything. I'll buy them separately in either case offcourse, just might be an idea since so many of us are pretty insane when it comes to this stuff :joystick:

About the knobs, I think the edges could be a bit sharper. Darker shadows in the crevices might help? Additionally, the lower right knob looks a tad sharper at the bottom than the two to the left, wich looks a bit fuzzy in comparizon. Hmm one more thing, might there be a way to color the flip-switches to look a bit more metallic (unless they aren't offcourse?)

Aww great man, thank you!

I like it! Very clean and functional. But what about the raidio-panle in the top middle below the hud? Must be the ugliest area of any cockpit in lo.. Edit: About the lights, I'm very comfortable with the stock orange one, especially as it fits with the needles and reflected glow on the panels around.. Maybe you could have one version that just leaves them in stock colour?

Anyone know why they didn't go for a falcon-style canopy; i mean without the view-obstructing beam at the front? Edit: come to think of it, that goes for a lot of aircraft.. Must be aerodynamical and mybe to an extent structual concerns and/or limitations I'll wager.

I don't get what people are so afraid of. The improvements will be added to ALL PLANES! Personally I can't wait to fly the Su-27 with improved ER's. Edit: In fact, I'm making that my new sig.

Where did you get that bit of info?
