Sawamura~ those are nice finds~ shame that HAWX models' accuracy a bit off.. e.g. Their MiG-33 is a MiG-29A model & their Super Hornet has a Legacy Hornet 3D cockpit model~ at least Ace Combat ones look more similar to the RL ones~ 3D visual wise of course~ not in terms of Flight models ;)

I like really like their F-2 Viper Zeros :)

You must first, try to know the tanker's airspeed, altitude & heading. Problem in LO is that, the tankers don't emit TACAN signals. So calculating your distance from them is kinda by "feel". I also suspect that radio messages by tankers are incomplete.. In other games i played, the tanker will announce to you their speed, altitude & heading.. Anyway, i use the radar first to track the tanker, then turn it off after getting the info about the tanker. (You should refuel with radar OFF.) Once you spot your tanker and already know his speed, altitude and heading, approach him from behind. Start by being a bit lower than the tanker's altitude. E.g. He's at 25500 ft, approach him at 25200 ft.. if he's flying at 250 IAS you may approach at 300 IAS but keep in mind of your distance to tanker Then as you close in, decrease your airspeed to match his. Then slowly ascend to the boom as you get closer. -- I dunno know if what i do is exactly right but that's my way of refueling in-game :) anyways.. i've only been refueling using the F-15.. I haven't tried using the Su-33 Flanker yet... although I also do AA refuels in Jane's F/A-18. US Navy aircraft also use the Drogue basket system =D

I don't care~ normal people don't understand moe :lol: (and no,..not Moe Szyslak from "The Simpsons.")

Refueling practice.. :) == Pylon views again ;)

Hi~ If you're using the F-15, you must check out Ironhand's video tutorials http://flankertraining.com/ironhand/a2a.htm He also has some tutorials on the Su-27. What do you mean you can only lock at 5 nm? Are you using the LRS or the TWS of the F-15? You must also continuously scan your radar antenna up or down to see if their are enemy aircraft above or below you. If you can't see your targets, their probably above or below your radar scan zone ;)

So it's like a computer adjusted hydraulic control. I think i've read that Control Augmentation System on the Jane's F-18 manual too. on side note, i tried some maximum roll tests on 3 flyables in-game, the F-15, Su-27 & the MiG-29S from 28,000 feet then rolling towards the ground. The Su-27 has the fastest rolls at maximum joystick input (so fast that i'm starting to feel dizzy when looking at the monitor~) followed by the F-15 then the MiG-29S, slowest rolls at maximum stick~ btw.. i tried the maximum stick rolls on Jane's F/A-18 and that Seven-G Hornet game, both hornets rolled at similar rate to the MiG-29.. just out of curiosity~ :)

..It feels harder compared to other flyable supersonic fighters.. Now my inquiry is that, What type of Flight control system the F-15 has? a Mechanical type or fly-by-wire? the Su-27 feels "softer" in rolls and such~ Sorry for this noob question~ :)

Motivationals.. Somehow relates when you flew hundreds of miles just to get smacked by an ET. :)

I tried it already, loved the carrier ops :joystick:

Hope this model would be frame rate friendly too~~ better yet, even Frame rate friendlier than the stock Eagle model like what they did in 3GO Flanker~ Keep up the good works~~ :thumbup:

I see, oh well... I didn't have much time in multiplayer these days anyway.. :)

Yep, been playing in HL a few times. Seems that majority of players fly low. Some are below 1000 ft.. I dunno if my generalization is right.. but those who fly nearer the ground or at lower altitudes have a better chance of getting a kill.. I fly at medium altitudes most of the time and when my enemy's below me.. he launches a missile then... kaboom ~! it's over.. So is it like; the lower you, fly the better? :huh: on side note, do all servers use realistic Gs?

Hats off to the 3GO team and all those involved~~ Beautiful model~~ :thumbup:

Finished this" Pain Plane" abruptly.. heard that another F-15 Model is coming.. Deliciously Beautiful

it's already 8:38 PM when i posted this and i'm at GMT+8. Where is it? :lol:

The Su-27 model looks deliciously beautiful~~ This mod might make me fly the Flanker ;)

I tried the PC demo.. Graphics look ok, though expect FPS reduction during an action mission.. (anyways my PCs not top of the line...) It was more enjoyable for me to play using the cockpit view.. though the "assistance mode" will be on.. I dunno if it's possible to set assistance off while in cockpit view.. Missile evation.. as usual.. just simple break turn to outmanuever it~ :lol: Not sure if the player plane has "life" i didn't let myself get hit by a missile anyway.. Default plane for the action mission was an F-16, while an F-15SMTD/Active for the "training" flight..

I'm not sure if this is caused by AWACs but i notice AI aircraft, will immediately attack the nearest aircraft when an A-50 flies near the battle area..

Of course~ Though i haven't watched the original 80s version yet~ At least Area 88 was more believable.. Although i think it's impossible to shoot down an Air to Air missile with a gun. Shin Kazama did that in one episode~

nevermind, i just made a workaround by over writing the "gulf Spirit" skin in the USA side. :) hence, no more tail number~

Even as a child, i was fascinated by airplanes. We used to live near an airfield that's why~ That's the reason i'm into flying games/sims.. As a kid back then who played with toy planes, i didn't missed this out "Ring Raiders" I also had some of those Ring Raider toys and even their "airborne fortress" :joystick: I watched an episode.. well now i think it's very silly :D Anyone here who watched that animated series or anything similar? :pilotfly:

yah, i almost forgot this question so.. *bumping* it again

Lookin great there~ :)
