Ethereal, I'm not really sure you understood my remark. The guy is comparing carrots with cucumbers and saying he prefers carrots because they were grown in USA. Now if he compared carrots grown in Russia and carrots grown in USA, that comparison would be alright with me.

Sounds like a good reason to prefer a fixed-wing sim over a rotor sim... /FACEPALM...

Well I was flying on at least 2 servers that have a checklist and my installation passed.

Death-17: 1.0.2 definitely is worth installing, especially if you want to fly online, you won't see many servers, if any, in 1.0.1. Also more and more missions are simply geared towards FC2 aircrafts. I personally disrespected the advice, took the risk and installed 1.0.2 over 1.0.1 and it works like a charm.

That's why I said it's not a clean way. :-) But after your shortsighted paraplegic wingman bumps your tail off after an otherwise successful mission, it does help to save some nerve.

To the guys who complain campaigns are difficult / AI sucks: Maybe someone already posted this, in which case I can only say the truth - haven't seen it, so I'm posting it. This is absolutely NOT a clean tactics, so you might want to reconsider, if you like stuff squeaky clean, but there is a workaround if your mission ends up sour and you DON'T WANT TO STEP BACK IN CAMPAIGN. 1, fire up TASK MANAGER 2, end the process called simulator.exe Mission will end with no results and your progress in campaign is preserved. :thumbup:

Right, I've only encountered this twice, but nevertheless it's a bug and might be looked at. Basically AI helicopters after destruction sometimes, but rarely, seem to be stuck in mid air... And in this one my wingman ejected but his heli refuses to adhere to gravity :-) I haven't been through all of the bugs reported here, so someone might have reported this, but hey... :-)

Yes and let's go completely mad and fold the rotor to the front and let it be a propeller like Osprey! Maaan! And maybe the side wings could extend and maybe even change geometry. And there could be extendable ailerons and man, what to add on top of that ? Sky's the limit when you're building a Transformer!

:doh:

You have answered your own question. How possibly could it be a sim if it's for 360 as well ? While they could in theory make a clickable 3D cockpit for 360, I wonder who in 360 community has the willpower to learn it ? :rolleyes: And with the current trend of dumbing down all that still possibly can be dumbed down, I'm not holding my breath for this.

For a teaser... it didn't tease much...

The way I understand his solution: Before running any "important" mission, run ANY MISSION, just start and exit, to have AI properly set up. Maybe something gets mistakenly initialized in the debriefing scripts rather than briefing (pre-mission) scripts...

:lol:

It's not only the smoke itself rather the dry and dusty terrain and debris pulverized into smithereens by the pressure -> dust in the air. Wouldn't expect this amount of dust in snow-covered northern Europe with high humidity. And of course, I'd have this effect pretty much switched off, don't want my FPS to suffer for 30 mins before the dust settles. Especially if in multiplayer where everyone is blowing stuff up.

Maybe you forgot to request NVG from the ground crew ?

Just watched the video. Yes it seems damage model has been slightly adjusted :-) As a part-time flyer, I've tried very weird things in the past with the Shark with disastrous consequences so now I'm pretty prone to slow down when the beeper starts convincing me. So those numbers above don't seem to be too real to me.

A bit of clarification please. This Sikorsky X2 flew 249 mph, that's roughly 400 kmh. You say you were flying at more than that in Shark ? You mean like 80-100 kmh more than the Shark's comfort zone ?

You are not exactly in love with your CPU are you ? :-)

Are there any girls around ? Honestly ? In this forums. Active users. Girls ? Females ? Eh ? I wonder how many females fly these sims...

You guys are talking 17 years ago. I'm talking 23 years ago. I win. :-)

Look coolts, you can say anything you want, you can proclaim F4 to be the king of the universe and it's fine with me, BUT - and I'm putting this in the most friendly way I'm capable of - DON'T TOUCH THE SPECTRUM. (grrrrr!) Fighter Bomber was the first sim (arcade ok I know but try to sim something with 48K mem!!!) I ever played and it's the origin of my interest in flight sims. I'm in eternal debt to the fine people at Sinclair Research Ltd. who made it possible. :-)

No pissing contest for me, thank you. But hey, you just said what I said: F4 had good graphics FOR IT'S TIME. I said that first, mama, you remember ? :-) It's just few posts back. I appreciate you saying that again and re-affirming that statement. I really do. Peace bro! P.S. Did I say I love you all ? :-)

Hey I don't care about flame suits mate. I think I submitted a quote with my post that explains why I reacted IN THIS THREAD. Graphics SURE AS HELL are not the most important thing, otherwise I would be in the Crysis forums. BUT real simmer doesn't care about graphics ? Something tells me people would be screaming **** all over the place if Warthog came out utilizing 320x240 VGA 256colors. But hey, graphics are not that important, so why not do it VRV, what do you say ? What resolution are you running Shark at ? I might not know much about Falcon community, but I know something about Falcon's visuals, hence my post.

Server and client systems can be completely different and they still can communicate thanks to the mankind's most precious discovery - TCP/IP.

I just wish there were more "nails" like DCS:BS coming out. :-) I was posting pretty weird questions around here around April last year, while taming the beast. Also started in Arcade mode and quickly understood Real is REAL! One must love this sim man! While I'm not holding my breath for any fastmover, I'll sure as hell fly the Hog and keep hoping for Hind or Apache, if not Havoc. :-) Hmmm, Havoc... yummy...
