spyda

as far as i'm aware it holds the collective in place and can not be moved till you unlock it

looks like a heap of fun, nice crisp graphics of the mountains etc

sounds like a ball,

i thought the Tor was already in the game, its in lock on FC

I'm using the X52 at the moment, but a cougar will be my next stop. i have just heard so many good things about them. i would consider the cougar if it were me :thumbup:

does any one have a photo of the manual will be ordering mine next week :)

great review and Ed Macy would know :thumbup: hopefully the PDF makes its way around and helps with some good advertising for DCS :D

i've had my wing man hit a power line thingy but they have not crashed in to me yet. does this happen when flying low to the ground? or even when there in close formation? apparently it happens in real life from time to time as well http://www.specialoperations.com/Foreign/Australia/SASR/Inquiry.htm

there is some good detail on the map its fun just going for a free flight to see what you can find i was playing around with the mission creator the other day and had a few warships shell a town and the buildings collapse on them selves plus the lights turn off they have pretty cool sound effects on the way down :thumbup: all for fun

the open source falcon4 is pretty good and lock-on FC you could try flight Gear (free open source) A-10cuba if you are happy to go back a few years that's the first really detailed SIM i can remember + had clickable mouse cockpit but i think with what i have owned falcon4 lockon FC and BS hold the top rank and all are very good in there own area of things. flight sim x is not bad but the level of detail is not as good as the others i have mentioned but there is some good payware addons for it. i never played longbow 2 or janes f18 :cry: so not sure what there like any other thoughts?

as far as i know there have been no planes to have a dynamic campaign. keep in mind that real simulators don't have a dynamic campaign they use a mission editor that can add situations and units etc as the simulation is running i think that would be cool as the server admin could add units from the f10 screen etc to a current online game. Dynamic campaigns are over rated in my view a good mission builder tool is far better for a simulation. any way i think there working on the new patch, AI improvements / ground detail and down the track - possible new a10 module at current.

this is from BS the model is in there some were, it doesn't do VTOL just fly's like a normal jet there is a thread around some where how to activate the jet. Its AI only :thumbup:

hold down your (clicking scroll wheel on the mouse) and move the mouse up down left right etc etc and the pilot's head will move. to recenter the view to normal just hit the NUM pad "5" easy done:thumbup:

nice work :thumbup: i like the idea of holding off lasering so u get the surprise on them :D

but what would stop some one from installing it on 6 different computers? if you keep receiving a new key??

cant go wrong with a x52 from saitek, good for the money :thumbup:

i did not know that, last time i just repurchased FC its only $15 didn't lose any sleep. i will keep this in mind for the future

if u have used them all up you, to have to repurchase a key from ED website

sounds great i'm in for sure, wont have much time this month but next month i can put eating and sleeping on hold for BS :thumbup:

good review just finished reading it :thumbup:

do they get with in visual range? as they have no radar

i really enjoy a good old multi play game in BS my favorite is the 159th server :thumbup: all though i haven't had the time lately its been about a month now

interesting read i have no idea myself, used to see them fly over once and a while when i was living in brisbane, Australia. they sound great they have this real loud screeching noise when they fly by

hopefully DCS will become the new benchmark like fsx etc is for the commercial market so when people talk about buying a fully detailed combat flight sim DCS is the standard. the best part is if you have been playing ED flight sim's from the start you know how it works eg the view buttons have always stayed the same F1 - F12 etc since flanker1.0 and the crimea area i love it :thumbup:

wonder what it is and are they the ATGM's off the havoc
