SAM-Smasher

downloading now! excellent work!

Excellent! I will try this when I get home from work today! thank you! :)

Rofl

That there my friend is an excellent find, ive not long got home from work, read this and has generated a smile on my face, shortly before laughing! :) lol I spent alot of money on my system to get it to run smooth as silk and at high FPS, and some mong reckons he can do it with an AMD 1700.... So I suppose they have a new pig flyable in Lockon then?

To shoot more than one vikhr, be at a reasonable distance, find a target and note in your head the locations of other targets around your current one, then when your in launch range fire one missile every 5 seconds until you get your first target impact, then quickly slew the locking gate and set another target, when this is hit move to the next and so on, repeat this until all of the missiles you just launched have either hit or missed their targets. If you still have missiles, leave the target area to about 15km and swing in again to launch another salvo. Although I agree this method is a knack and takes some getting used to. Also to your point force feedback, just dont over G or generate too much AoA in general regardless of the situation :)

wow im stumped, I havent seen this problem before, only when I was using 2xAA and 2xAF with my last card I encountered that problem. Have you tried also upping the resolution, I have never played at 1024 x 768 so perhaps its a problem associated with that particular resolution? I dont know. Sorry I couldnt help.

Ahh good point zoomboy some flaps might help, do you find this encourages a little more instability in the aircrafts flight? Ive always been concerned about using the rudders, trying not to spin the plane, but from what you have said it appears that you need to use alot of rudder in a turn, excellent! thank you for your response! :) On the point of being close to the target, I often find to gain an optimal missile position you do need to be patient and egress a about 10 - 15km and setup for another attack run, this gives you plenty of room for a multiple vikhr strike, and then you can get several in one run. Go for the AA units first, and then once your out of vikhr, the rocket and gun attack will be childs play. Ive probably said much more than I needed to there and you probably already knew those tactics :) but I though I would say anyway

Try increasing AA to x4 and AF to x8. that might solve your problem, just an idea though :) works fine on my Radeon.

I have already looked at this and I understand the concept of more weight > less manouverablity. But thank you anyway. :) This is a very good way of doing things only problem I have is if you judge it wrong or hesitate you will fall out of the sky like a brick :). I will try it with the SU25T when I get back home today and see if I can get it to do this little trick, I can see this being useful in tight spaces like valleys as I mentioned. Thank you :) Also I agree the AFM is excellent, a much better feel to the aircraft, would be excellent if all the aircraft had it, but im happy with what we have got!

Hiya guys, I have been happily been flying around in the SU25T enjoying the experience I must say, I think ive learnt pretty much everything about flying the plane in the sim. But there is one thing that is bugging me, I fly the plane as if it were a Jumbo Jet with teeth, very long turns and leaving alot of space for manuvers, which makes fighting in valleys somewhat difficult. The reason I do this is I just feel like the plane needs alot of TLC in a turn and cant be flung around like the SU25. I want to know am I being daft, or can this plane do alot more than what I am currently getting out of it? If some would could post how to get the best turn out of the plane when loaded with weapons that would be brilliant.

Awesome modelling that looks great!! And yeah I think FC would benefit from having some optically aimed AA, it would look awesome seeing a large amount of optically aimed fire streaming into the sky. Yes you can do it with the ZSU, but the chance of survival will decrease rapidly lol :)

Thats really quite sick :/

I wonder would it be possible to have an interchangeable map in the F10 view? say to a realistic black AWACS view with outlined terrain and proper icons?

I would like to see and AFM for each aircraft, though I imagine this would be extremely difficult and time consuming, so an AFM for the SU27 would be just as satisfying :) Dont want anything new really, although I am looking forward to flying the KA52 ;)

They are great for attracting ZSU and MANPAD fire though :)

Yes I think you definately right there dedcat, I think just to make it look a bit more realistic have a truck nearby or seemingly on-station to "re-load" the launcher. But you really need do nothing to get them to reload, its just a case of waiting.

Hi Zoomboy, I had recentley downloaded your SU25T campaign and mission pack. I must say the missions are excellent! I personally prefer campaigns, mainly for the immersion factor that they offer, they feel like an un-folding event. However the limitation of a campaign is such that you cant replay the mission once you have completed it, unless you reset the campaign and play through again, plus if your really completley stuck on a stage of a campaign or a show-stopper bug occurs that prevents the mission being completed that is usually the end of it for most people. With a mission pack I dont feel like an un-folding event is present and it merely feels like just a set of missions with no direction, but thats personal taste I suppose. Though you have the ability to play the missions in any order and replay each one as much as you like, I tend to just use single missions just for practice and fun, I dont take them as seriously as a campaign. Just my 2 pennys ;)

Hope these are not to boring, but I just thought they looked quite nice, they are un-doctored too :)

ROFL!!! excellent!!

How in the hell is this guy staying aloft!!! I pumped the entire load of gun rounds of an SU-27 into it lol!!! And whats more annnoying he made a perfect landing too lol!

I have EVERYTHING at maximum, vis distance and everything apart from water and scene file, I think ive dubbed the shadows down a little too. I will try Krasnodar at some point, something I havent tried yet :) And BBushe thats an interesting concept there, I wouldnt have thought of that! if someone would have posted that before it would have saved me some dosh ;) Looks like theres a pretty good all round response, I havent seen much cheering of how good it is, so I thought I would stir some up. Good job ED!

I know I took advantage of a very recent 21st birthday to be able to afford it, I guess thats what I may call luck :) very daunting price to pay I agree.

No problem buddy :) You can buy the X800XT PE 256 in either AGP or PCI-E format, for some reason the AGP one is more expensive :S I run the card on a 400W power supply, the card needs its own Molex power connection from the power supply, it seems to work fine and considering all the other crap I have draining power in my system it does the job fine. Though if you are going to upgrade your power supply get a 500W one mine is generating a large amount of heat, which isnt very good :) Good luck Just glad to be able to provide some useful info, im not very good at the techy stuff with aircraft and radars ect, but PC's im ok :)

A flight plan cannot be calculated to avoid manpads, they can appear anywhere as they are not a trackable air defense resource, which I think is reflected realistically in this case. Not having a dig mate im just pointing something out :)

I have a P4 2.8 HT same as you, the hyperthreading doesnt matter because LOMAC doesnt support it as we all know :) From a 9700 hmmm You are looking at a HUGE framerate increase, the X800XT PE 256 which I have does not struggle with the graphics at all at the highest res. I get about 60 - 80 FPS in leve flight on route to a target 35 -43 FPS in a medium size air engagement and about 30 -35 over towns in a complex mission environment. I think I would get a more stable level of framerate but my Soundcard sucks :(, it doesnt like lots of sounds or loud sounds... although zzzspace's sound packs seem to help. I have my graphics settings on full like I mentioned EXCEPT water ( Medium ) Scene File ( Medium ) I dont think the water on medium is that important, im still testing that, I think the Scene File has a more adverse affect on framerate. You can expect to fork out serious money for my vid card and the 850, I gulped when I spent the money... but when you get the card, you SEE the difference and FEEL the difference in the simulation :) i soon forgot about the damage to my bank account ;) I hope this is of some help you you?
