Frakin Toasters

Cor you genius! I've always been a fan of the Golden Eagle. I love those swept-forward wings. You're right though, finding photographs of the interior is seemingly impossible.

Actually releasing it to others would be my second priority. I mainly want it because i'd get a lot of enjoyment out of making it and also out of using it for myself. I never go on multiplayer anyway, as pings are always outrageously high. So i stick to SP :) Also i get the joke now i think. I've been operating on such little sleep lately.

I still don't get it

I really hate how all the servers with reasonable pings are passworded, and all the rest have ridiculously high pings.

Hey, i have a really hard time acquiring targets, mainly because i can't see them. If i'm hovering a good distance away at a low altitude behind a hill, and then i pop up to see if i can take out that AAA emplacement that i'm required to do for the mission, all i see is a mass of blue writing from all the other objects near it. That's if i have the tags enabled of course. But if i use the shkval screen, i can barely make anything out at all, especially not very flat AA nests. Is there something i'm doing wrong? Or is it this awkward as hell for everyone?

Tell who? What? Err, I was actually only asking if it was technically possible, i wasn't actually asking permission.

Man tanks are buggers for me. In the past i've been shot down loads by tank cannons. I hate it, it always makes me jump. One minute i'm flying along nowhere near a tank, minding my own business. Then Blam!

Here's a bit of a new question: Can i add in new sound effects for events that usually don't have voice announcements? Like, if i lock a target, can i have a computer voice (that i manufacture) announce "Target lock". Or something? I want to see if i can upgrade the entire voice operating system to something that sounds more deadly and futuristic. Like, when i flick the master arm switch, have a voice say "Weapons armed". Cheers By the way, the title was supposed to read "Integrate". I was a bit tired when i posted this.

Is it possible to increase the resolution to double?

Mi-24 Yeah!!

Yeah man that would be wicked if the campaigns were more dynamic like that. Like, one mission you take out most of their units without much trouble, and the next mission they call for backup and a couple of hinds show up or something to really mix it up. The troops are really daft, they just stand there in one pose until they get blown to bits. It also seems like most tanks are unmanned, or the dudes inside are so bored waiting for you to show up and destroy them they all decided to roll up the windows and hot-box it with a nice doob.

Good lord how many people need to basically say the same thing?

Actually i had paused the mission to report this bug, and after ordering him to RTB, he said it a few more times and then eventually acknowledged the order and went RTB. Then the next wingman of my four-ship flight started to also note that he intended to rejoin, over and over. So i ordered the entire flight to RTB. They all squarked at me several more times about rejoining before acknowledging the RTB command. They later ran out of fuel and crashed. I would like to point out that the fuel system and the tower system is quite lacking in forethought. If i'm on emergency fuel, i should be able to radio the tower and inform them of my situation. I should also be able to report that i am heavily damaged and going down or something like that. Wingmen should report their status more frequently, as well as low-fuel issues. You should also be able to request an update on their status directly. Such a lack of options does detract from the overall SIM experience for me. I don't think that the sim should be purely about flying the chopper.

Hahaha, i was just playing. I'm Australian, forgive me.

I have absolutely no idea what you guys mean by a flag. I've never seen this, how/where/what is it?

Nah this forum is stupid, in that if i press control + v (which i do occasionally just to see what i have on my clipboard, in case there's something important before i go copying something else), it pastes a screenshot if i have taken one, and when i delete the link, it decides to go ahead and post the link anyway.

I know about the AA mode, thanks though. So Vikhr uses proximity detonation as opposed to direct impact? Interesting

Oh i never actually wanted to mod it in and use it, i wondered if it was possible in the vanilla game and i was just missing something. The AIM missile was the one i saw on lockonfiles actually, i thought it was just an upgraded model. Thanks anyway dude

Actually i asked why the Ka-50 couldn't carry four racks of ATGMs, completely different, thankyou. And that, and this, are purely because i am trying to learn about the subject matter. I don't know why you are so intent on making me out to look like an incessant cheater. Also i think i saw someone saying you could on a forum, there was also a mod somewhere that improved the model of the AIM missile, and having spent a lot of time browsing the game folders there are some sound effects for AIM missile tracking that i assumed would be used in-game when carrying AA missiles. It looks like a number of things led me to believe disinformation.

Hi. I am under the impression i can load my gunship with AIM missiles, or other AA missiles. But they are nowhere to be found in the maintenance menus. Please advise!

I personally find the A-10 a little overrated. But that could be just because helicopters are more my thing, and i already feel they've been there and done that with Lockon. It seems making a dedicated A-10 expansion is just treading the same ground, even if it is more detailed and on a better engine. Also, on the Comanche, it wouldn't be too hard. Other games have done the cockpits, and they wouldn't have to give away any of the stealth technology just to make it a sim. Although I guess there wouldn't be a lot to base the game on with a Comanche as it probably wouldn't do a lot other than spot targets, and there are no examples from reality from which to base missions.

I would love there to be an array of aircraft released for this sim with the same study, detail and depth as the Ka-50. Such as the basic Super-cobra, the Comanche (what a ship!), and the Hind. It would be fantastic! I hope these guys never stop making these games, i really do.

An extremely irritating bug i keep occasionally encountering. I'm unsure what causes it, but now and then a wingman (doesn't matter what number he is), constantly repeats "Rejoin" preceded by his number designation. Such as "Four: Rejoin Four: Rejoin Four: Rejoin Four: Rejoin Four: Rejoin Four: Rejoin" over and over and over

Oh i thought you were just being proper sarcastic. I was just curious if this did anything more than the program i already have to use multiple cores. Also i can't actually make said time in my job.

Friggin' awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
