  1. Yea I would love to at least see someone marshall me in or out of parking. Even a stiff crew chief with arms being the only thing that moves on his body would make me happy.
  2. Well the reviewer said the touch screen part kind of sucks. That was one of the reasons I wanted to just get the cheaper ones. But ya it would be great if they all worked well.
  3. Hey all, I just got done flippin through the June issue of PC Gamer and they talk about these little 7-inch displays in the Hardware section. I was thinking of purchasing 2 off the $129.99 models. Heres a link to the website: http://www.mimomonitors.com/ My question is does anyone think these would suck for BS? I would love to have 2 of these to assign the Shkval and ABRIS to. My current monitor is an Acer P243 24" monitor that runs in a 1920 x 1200 native resolution. I guess these things run in 800 x 480. Would there resolution not work for BS? Now I know I can go to newegg.com and get a 17" LCD for like $110 instead but I don't have that many DVI ports for a 3 monitor setup. These things plug into a USB port which sounds kind of nifty. Let me know your guys thoughts! Thanks!
  4. I spent a lot of time just doing the training missions over and over, and writing out button sequences to bind to my joystick before I even tried a real combat mission. I haven't crashed or have been shot down yet in the campaign. I'm sure that will change soon enough :) Ya what's up with the washer fluid? Stupid crew chiefs need to fill it up.
  5. I just felt I needed to say how much fun I am having with this game. I just did the "ALARM!" mission in the Deployment campaign and I can't say how much I enjoyed it! So here I am sitting at the loading screen expecting to just lift off and fly north to the new FARP but nooooo I get plopped right into a cold cockpit with explosions and gun fire going off all around me. My first thought in my mind is "oh shit" I then scramble to find a color codded checklist I printed out with a 44 step sequence I created to start in a cold cockpit using the T1-T6 buttons on my X52 using all the SHIFTS,CTRLS, and ALTS on my keyboard as modifiers so to multiply the button uses. About half way rushing through the checklist I realize I did it out of order(held the wrong shift key down first) so I start to panic and say **** it, just get the engines started and clean up the rest of it on my way out. So im sittin there clicking away... finally get everything running, turn on my NVG's and lift off. I start heading north and clean everything up. I then start to read the radio chatter thats going on between the ground troops(I don't speak Russian). As im doing that im looking off to my right to see if I can see my wing man but I notice some bright lines heading at me. Some sort of AAA opens up on me, I throw a hard bank left and jink my way away from the threat and continue towards the new FARP. *Phew* Then I come upon a battle going on below me in a town off to my right. I see some sort of Aircraft fly in fast above the battle(I think it was an Su-25) and pop off illumination flares that are so bright I have to turn my NVG off to just look that way. So much fun!!! This is also the first game I have played using TrackIR which helps the immersion factor of the whole sim immensely. I just wish I didn't have to hit shift-J every time I get in the cockpit to get it to start shaking. Thank you so much for this game guys, I really appreciate it. Oh! One other thing. As a former C-17 Flying Crew Chief I really like the fact that you talk to maintenance to hook up power and other types of ground activities. MX is such a huge part of aviation I wish it was simulated a little more in todays Sims, as far as the pilot, MX interaction goes. I can't wait for the next Sim! Stckers
