To actually hit the the truck with a missile should be cool... Imagine the explosion when the fuel goes.. :thumbup: Blaze

I've been waiting and hoping that maybe something like this would actually come to "The NY Area".. But there really doesnt seem to be that many simulator Guy's here.. Anyway traveling for me is really out of the question for now.... I guess that someday a show of this type might actually be held here.. :dunno: Blaze

I Agree.... It might not be as accurate a Vid as I could be.. But its still cool to look at even so.. ~S~ Blaze

:megalol:

There have been several posts concerning the use of speed tree's in DCS.. Eagle seems to have ruled this out.... Instead they've recruited Teka Teka to model the trees.. Teka Teka is an outstanding modeler by the way, one of his best was the extended cockpit visuals from Lock On... ~S~ Blaze

Well anyway at least we know that the training files will have voice overs....:smilewink: Blaze

Yes... It seems that the new engine wont be ready for quite some time... I'm beginning to wounder when it will be ready.. But I'm really concentrating on getting my hands on the "Clickable Cockpit" and learning all of the systems. This should keep us all busy for a while... :lol: Blaze

I have 2 systems that I'm presently running Vista on... My gaming rig has Vista Business 32, while my older rig that I use for everything else has Vista Business 64.. I was running 64 bit on my gaming rig but had problems installing some of my games and peripherals. I mean its hard enough getting things to run in Vista 32, so you really don't need the extra headaches that comes with the 64 bit O/S... As a matter of fact I'm planning on dumping Business and installing Ultimate on the gaming rig.. Blaze

I totally agree.. The nonexistence of collidable trees has been a sore spot with this engine since day one.. I personally hope that this will be rectified with the first build of the new engine. And I'm sure that Eagle will certainly address this issue when the time comes.. Have some patients Please!!! Blaze

Outstanding !!! ~S~ Blaze

Well anyway there's an F/A-18 add on for FS2004 and will be upgraded for FSX coming over the horizon and its not a rehash of an older simulator.... This one is fresh and very close to being released... It should hit the shelves some time right after the end of the Holidays.. I know your probably thinking that its not a combat simulator but there are plans to actually simulate some combat functions .. you can get all of the latest scoop here.... http://vrsimulations.com/phpbb/index.php ~S~ Blaze

As far as useing 2 monitors or projectors to widen your vision? If I remember correctly Lock On didn't support this feature. But I think that you can make it work by useing a Dual or Triple Head Converter .. http://www.adorama.com/VDMRTH2G.html?sid=11969090021380285 As far as DCS I think that it might be a little to soon to tell.. But maybe this will be expanded on when the new engine is completed??? Blaze

Are you sure you can't ? I was able to... Thanks for the outstanding photo's Kush, rep inbound... ~S~ Blaze

Matt: I just wanted to say thank you for the very detailed tutorial of The Abris System... This is extremely helpful in getting a jump on the immense learning curve that I'm beginning to see is in store for us, concerning the Ka-50... I appreciate the great amount of time the you obviously spent on putting this together along with Producers Note One... These are both excellent... William

I've installed 2 GTS about 5 months ago... These are really a lot of fun, everything that I'm running looks superb... I'm not planning on changing again for quite a while.. This setup should be good for at least 1 year more... :thumbup: Blaze

I'm presently running Corsair 2 GB DDR Twin2X Matched Memory .. These sticks have three colored sequential leds on the ends that light up according to how much memory that you're using.. They go from green to yellow to red ...:lol: This is adequate for running Lock ON extremely smooth. Although I'm planning on adding another GIG for future gaming.. ~S~ Blaze

This has been posted on the Lock On forum quite a while ago.. This guy has done some amazing work here.. And it was brought out that the builder intends to actually put this into production, and what were seeing here is the first prototype. I should hope that his idea pays off, as it looks like this is all that he's doing :music_whistling: ~S~ Blaze

that is a nice looking tank... I can't wait to blow it up.. :smilewink: As far as fixed wing A/C, why after all of the post concerning these issues are some guys still asking for them... If you can't wait for Eagle to implement their new plans for the future you can always go over to the old Lock On site... Blaze

Of course you should ... :lol: I'm running 2 8800 GTS in SLI on Vista with the latest Beta drivers 169.12 and I'm getting 20+ FPS over cities.. And that's with the sliders pushed all of the way to the right... I just have to say that the ground textures are very nicely done, they're far better then they were with DX-9c ... Shadowing and lighting are outstanding, not to mention the clouds and weather. Although the weather has always been one of the better points of the MS simulator series, this has improved considerably as well. Oh! And I can't forget one other thing, and most importantly, the FM is a lot smoother and more realistic.. ~S~ Blaze

Hi Viper: Regarding your question concerning my TV/Monitor, the model is the LN-S3251D.. Its actually about 2 years old and at that time I purchased it for $1400.00.. This was an outstanding bargain as the same model was going for $1900.00 at Best Buy ... This model of course doesnt have the current features like higher resolution or wide screen, but HD channels are superb and the desk top in the computer mode is very sharp and clear,the native resolution in computer mode is 1360x768... Also the HD resolution is 1024i, while the newer modles are 1024p.. One thing you will need to do if your going with a TV/Monitor is to make sure that you have the right set connections.. Make sure that you have VGA plug on the back of the set.. If its HDMI you'll have problems getting the picture to align properly in the computer mode.. DVI is good, but I don't think that this connection is avaialble on a TV/Monitor, its most likely used with a computer monitor only ... There's also other things that Samsung sets do well at, one of which is that they have an audio connection that you can plug your PC sound card into. This allows you to connect a stereo receiver to the TV/ Monitor... I have my Sony 7.1 sound system connected and its really awesome while watching for example a Blue Ray or HD DVD movie on the computer DVD player. And most importantly game sound is extremely life like...:lol: ~S~ Blaze

No man I have a Samsung 32" LCD TV/monitor that is really a nice addition to my gaming rig, home-theatre setup ...And incidental Sony and Samsung have combined some of their manufacturing facilities here in the states.. You didn't buy that monitor as new or did you? Anyway I think that its probably about time to replace it for something more advanced. Oh, and buy the way my old Sony CRT that I'm using with my older AMD system is still going strong.. I bought that new in 2001. Now that's excellent service.. ~S~ Blaze

I think that release might be even longer then the above predictions.. I read a post yesterday regarding the new mission editor.. Matt said that he was now waiting for the next build to be completed, as somethings are still not resolved... If your looking for a release for the holidays I don't think that this is going to happen .... I mean were almost into December already, so its only about 4 weeks to Christmas (if you celebrate it or not)

What ever it is, I hope that its an accurate depiction of what the battle damage and terrain textures will be in Black Shark.. I noticed as far as battle damage one of the tanks in the foreground had its turret blown off and fire and smoke is rising from in side of the tank... Also the trees and roads are vastly improved in comparison to Lock On... Blaze

How about moving to the Far Cry jungle.. :lol: Imagine flying the Ka-50 thought that environment, well maybe well see something like this happen in about 10 or 15 years... Blaze

My mistake... I think that London is actually 8 Hrs. ahead of NYC... ~S~ Blaze
