hitman

i dont get it...

use the 5850 instead...its performance is equal to the 5870 and far cheaper. i heard nothing but good things about this card and ill be back to ati over nvidia once again. the 5850 beats the gtx295 like wolverine beating the snot outta batman. my rig will be about the same as yours, hopefully ill have it done by months end.

you know...its not much sport in it if your just out there shooting for fun. they have to use stands for their rifles...on a killer cat whos walking away from em. if you hunt like that, its only sporting to do it on equal terms. the lion had the right idea, i woulda done the same thing.

FF/A-18 PSF had it too...modelled pretty accurate too.

look up tez, hes as good a person as the others.

ive had to do that a few times...mostly because the thing launched at me, i was looking in the right direction, and didn't know it was there till frag out. im a lucky guy.

its rep...the world economy isnt going to come crashing down, nor is civilisation going to come to and end. ww3 wont start or be prevented by extra rep. your friends and family wont love you any more or less than they do now. your parents wont divorce, it wont kill anyone (and by chance someone commits suicidebecause of the extra rep iwont cry). life goes on with or without rep. and if i had the choice between a bacon cheese burgerand rep, ill take rep any day. the extra rep i have wont give me a coronary. if rep was beer i bet everyone would be drinking and driving like us fun guys do.........minus the 100 car pile up.

we should move this thread and merge it with the f22 sucks thread. its all speculation anyways so staying on topic should be easy.

which would be considered engaged by something else...i think you peeps are doing something wrong, always launch my mavs at 7.8 miles at at least 8k feet. cloud cover i always use the idiot to launch first then i launch second. my mavs always get shot at before me. i never get shot down unless i get surprised by an unknown strela anymore. zeuses dont even bug me when im low and near...its them damn strela's.

now why would you want that many? a decent laptop from 4 years ago had no problems with lomac online, and black shark isnt much different. all you need to play these sims are decent video cards and maybe even a dual core chip. 1024 mb memory will probably even work...i f%^&in bet you it would if you had an amd fx57, ati 9800 pro, pc3200 1024 mb ram...i betch it would run fine.

like i said!:joystick::joystick::joystick::joystick::joystick:

shoot 2 mavs at strela's, they ALWAYS shoot the first one down if they arent engaged by something else. also, dont even use the K mavs...just because you can load more of them doesnt mean that a mk 20 cant do better at that same range. my usual loadout is: 4 D-MAVS, 12xMK20's. if therearent any a2a threats, i pack an extra smoke pod or another mk20 on that hard point

a laptop can handle this sim just fine.

i never said it was never shot down, i said it was never shot down that i know of. and b-17's scored the most a2a kills during the war...does that mean the b-17 was an excellent dog fighter? what is percieved as a2a combat is one or more aircraft engaged in combat where both have the ability to kill each other. even the geneva conventions state you cannot kill an unarmed man in cold blood. thats what shooting vulnerable aircraft is...unjustified murder. all thats percieved is shooting and destroying equipment. just fyi iwas kidding about hijacking guys...lets not take this too seriously!

That doesnt count since it doesnt count as a2a combat...more like a target of opportunity. And NO!!! I fully intend on hijacking this thread for the sole purpose of making this the Me-163 thread. Dont like it, make me a moderator and then fire me for it.

If you have an LCD display your monitor will only max out at 60fps...from what I Understand this has to do with the Hz that it runs...most monitors run at 60hz.

Well howmore off topic can it get now?

The WW2 Thread (Me-163, B-17, etc.) The discovery channel did a documentary on the Me-163 during WW2. One fight was recorded in the logs as the Me-163 actually dogfighting a DeHavilland Mosquito, which is a feat all by itself. That may not sound impressive, but the Mosquito was a formidable fighter itself for abomber. I dont remember much about other dogfights it was involved in, but no Me-163 has ever been shot down that I know of.

I have Asus, their customer support is lacking seriously. I just had a nice chat with a tech guy at microcenter and he had some choice things to say about alienware, to my surprise...since Dell took over Alienware, they have been puttiong inferior BIOS programs into their motherboards and a lot of customers have been returning them lately. I can relate to the guy, I got my tax return today and I saw one there for 1000 dollars. I WAS going to get it today, but after the horror stories of people returning them a lot lately I think Ill stay away from alienware forever too. Their demo computer failed at the store too while I was test driving it. Icarus, if your going to get an alienware, I suggest asking someone at the computer store about their first hand experience with dell/alienware. Spend the extra 150 bucks at a computer store and have one custom made...youll have your choice of parts, higher end parts at cheaper prices, and they usually warranty their work as well, as they built it, they fix it too. Its a good deal dude.

honesty im kinda down about building my own anymore. my last one was a maintenance nightmare and wound up building my own water reservoir out of pvc, and rma'ing parts left and right. took me 2 months to build my rig even though i had all the parts there. my rma on my rpsu was really what set me back because coolmax didn't test it and said it was good...which cost me money to send my 2 supposedly doa boards back to newegg. 2 lessons i learned there...buy your parts locally (that way you dont waste 10 days between rma , and making sure you have the parts you need are within 5 minutes of where you live. sometimes radio shack is a life saver.

i wonder if this aircraft has even been tested against other aircraft yet. how can anyone lay claim that this aircraft can even compete with other aircraft? at least the f22 has over 20 years of simulated conditions. who knows...maybe it will turn out to be the next f117.

pilots land on the ramps quite often really...the server rules for hyperlobby saying no ramp takeoffs one saw? pretty common irl. seen it happen in laguardia a few times.

no one is saying alienware is crap, just that alienware is really wasting money "nowadays".alienware isnt what it used to be, but what it is now really is over priced for what it is. look...if you want alienware because of who they are, thats fine. belive me when i say this, hiring a professional ma and pop computer store can build you a highER end pc than alienware for the same price. we're talking up to 1000 dollars in parts alone! that quad sli gtx295 alienware they sell (hypothetically speaking) sells for 4500. you can have one professionally built same specs but maybe with mad water cooling for the same price. see what im saying?

gfx in fsx sucks until you get payware addons. mine looks realistic. ironhand has his own terrain out and its exquisite.
