  1. Well I think I'll stay with Lock On Modern Air combat and Flaming Cliffs 1 for my laptop...
  2. Hi, I have a decent and relatively new laptop with intel Core i3 inside, but the DCS-10 C loads very slowly, even on Low settings. What can I do to load faster? I have a Thrustmaster PC joystick Here are the specs: ACER Aspire V5 Windows 8 4 gb Ram Intel Core i3 1.5 Ghz. Thanks.
  3. Hi, Is RIMPAC (Rim of the Pacific) the joint operations in the Pacific featured in the movie "Battleship"?
  4. I wish it was the AV-8B Harrier II (jumpjet) even if it's out of service since 1 or 2 months I think.
  5. This "Inside Job" documentary looks like a killer documentary..It would be a better movie than "Wall Street" (2010) :-) Damn the modern world could have ended because of this financial crisis. Bravo to the states which helped minimize the effects of this crisis and courageous people and my prayers go to those who lost their homes in the USA and elsewhere (like in Japan right now: will insurances pay for this?)
  6. Playing "Morrowind" again Guys, I'm playing "Morrowind" RPG again and it feels so much better than DA2 even if the graphics are old! Better than "Oblivion" too I believe...Can't wait for the "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" (coming out 11-11-11 :-) ) The Witcher 2 will be great I think!
  7. Hi, This game sucks.I preferred the first "Dragon Age: Origins". It's more a Hack and slash like Diablo II than a real RPG. The scenes are gorgeous, true, but not the combat system..
  8. Hello, At 1:19 in this Youtube clip from "Any which way you can" (1980)great movie, sequel to "Any which way but lose" (1979), there is a scene towards the end of the movie where one can see a small private jet turning straight into a California town using the main traffic road. Was this real? It was greatly filmed I think. By the way I liked very much these 2 movies, with Philo Beddo as Clint Eastwood (or rather Clint Eastwood as Philo Beddo, "whichever way" you want ):-) Yet at that time he was almost 50 years old and still looked younger, like 40 or so. ${1}
  9. So what is the latest version of A-10 keyboard commands please?
  10. Too bad there isn't a second seat in the A-10..Otherwise another pilot could have landed and picked you up and back to the base! Anyway I don't know if an A-10 can land other than on a runway? By the way I'm looking for a video on Youtube showing the pilot walking after ejection. Do you have any link?
  11. I am going to Kansas City in mid-April. Are there any A-10's there? Maybe if I check the military bases in Kansas?
  12. Hello, Could anybody tell me where I could have the chance of seeing a REAL A-10? The nearest possible location of where I live if possible.Any A-10! I live in Southern France. Good day.
  13. Hello, I know it is possible to simulate engine and hydraulic failures with the mission editor, however I would like to know if you would be interested in begin able to simulate major wing destruction . For example at X time, simulate a right wing blown off (presumably by AAA or SAM). This way I could create realistic missions based on my current novel about Warthogs in the first 1991 Gulf War. I know it would be odd to have a wing blown off without an actual missile hitting it, but what's interesting is how the pilot would react in this scenarion and then we would have a common situation to compare betwenn fellos DCS: Hog "drivers" (I'm getting used to the A-10 community vocabulary :-) or shouldI say RF0A-10G pilots? :-) Damn I wish I was an A-10 pilot!
  14. Hello, I read a funny statement in the novel I purchased "Warthog: Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War" by William L.Smallwood. (very good novel by the way) It says something like: "Above 500 feet we definitely must put on our oxygen masks"...All this to say that A-10 pilots really were used to fly very very low and that above 500 feet it seems very high :-) And by the way, when is Beta 5 coming out? :-)
  15. Hello, I just wanted to share with you this nice video about a micro-jet warming up. Hope you like it. I was the one filming and the plane lost one of its wheel on take off and had to do a hard landing when it ran out of fuel (about 5 minutes of autonomy with 2 liters of fuel (kerosene). Hope you like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RCFKjzHYAc&hd=1 Also I went into a glider and I stayed around 30 minutes up there. I had a safety parachute that I wanted to use, because I never did parachite before :-)
