Thanks for the info, but i can't find any info on it. The problem that i see with the MFD's is (not really a design problem of course, just a problem for using them with screens) is that you need something like a 5"-7" 4:3 screen... most of the screens i've come across are 16:9. A rectangle in a square hole doesn't quite work and i gave up ages ago.

FSX is just a bit of fun (which isn't allowed by lots on this forum). For me, i use it to fire up a Cessna and take off from my home airport and fly around the place. The only addon i have thus far for it is Orbx FTX - AU Blue (i'm in Tasmania, south east of Australia) and that made a big difference to the scenery. It's not perfect, nothing is... it's fun and my FPS is fine for it. Remember fun?

I paid about 100AUD for my 7inch one I gave up on screens for the MFD cougars... nothing fits perfectly behind them.

Looks awesome... i wonder if i can afford it.

LOL! I can't believe that my tongue-in-cheek French joke sparked a 2 page debate over a delta wing versus an f-16 Sense of humour injections or supplements are in need on this forum sometimes; it gets a tad dry around these parts.

Bit late, but happy bday Kuky from a fellow Aussie

Of course it is, it's French... it's not like they're into winning wars or anything. Plus, it's probably full of croissant crumbs and obscure artwork.

Go for a u2NXT and some HALL sensors! Awesome mod.

Ahh well, i'll stick to my wish of DCS: F-111 I dunno if there are any sources available, or if some military wants a sim... but **** it, make it anyway.

S'funny everyone is excited about the unreleased, unconfirmed DCS release when we haven't even got A10C yet!

What's the obsession with carrier ops? I don't get it (i'm not stirring the pot here, i just want to know!). To me, it's just a runway on the water that moves around and makes life difficult. Plus... it's filled with Navy people.

I still vote for DCS: F-111 A bit different, maybe some support and jamming missions + SEAD... bombing... general coolness. It'll be the F-111. I know... i have magic powers. One of my magic powers is not hitting the seat when i piss... another one is drinking a WHOLE LITRE OF WATER (in two days).

It's for shooting guns, not for flying or driving. Also, when you get it, reduce the headbob in settings... otherwise it's like watching the blair witch project set in afghanistan.

No, im a member of this forum for no reason. Of course i own and use LOMAC and DCS. Elitism in skill set is fine, elitism in genre is pure crap. People play HAWX for fun, not because they think they can match it with VFW's/VFS. The attitude here is "this sucks because it doesn't have a tail hook and i have a million missles" well, no shit! You're supposed too... it's the modern version of the arcade game afterburner that people used to love in the moving cockpit. There's games and there's sims, there is no crossover. HAWX has it's place and it IS fun, DCS has it's place and it IS fun. Horses for courses you crazy kids.

God... you should probably rag out galaga and 1942 as well IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE REAL! It's movie-esque gaming. Are people here so elitist about anything to do with aircraft gaming that they can't accept something for what it is?

Either that or i'm the only one that can distinguish between a game and a simulation. Mind you, i don't subscribe to fanboism in the slightest... so i may be in the wrong forum indeed. Have at it. :doh:

Gawd... Is there a face palm emoticon, if so then insert here

That'd be because it's an arcade style game and only picky, whiny wads on simulation forums get fired up about a missing tailhook; joe pick-up-and-play doesn't care or even notice because he doesn't have an hour to go through a start up procedure before he can even play... he has 30 minutes of fun time before he has to take his kids to the park, or walk the dog. HAWX is a game, DCS is a simulation. It's not hard to define.

lol Why the hate? HAWX = arcade fun... sometimes it's fun just to grab a console game and play for 30mins, complete with hollywood muzzle flashes and explosions coupled with wads of ammo. HAWX = simple fun SIMS = technical fun

http://www.mimomonitors.com/ I have the imo 10" touchscreen... s'good!

Napoleon is pure gold and pretty graphics as well! Shogun 2... woohoo!!

^ agreed Also, just to whinge, what the hell is it with Arma and it not utilising dual core graphics cards!? Annoying!

Gadroc - do you know the brand of these 8" 4:3 panels?

I'd literally pay to see someone sprint their guts out up a hill in full gear then stop, prop and hit a headshot first shot offhand at 100m.

My post was in jest... lol, love the negative rep! lol
