LOMAC detox plan in preparation for FC2.0

[coolts]

To prepare myself in body and mind for the forthcoming release of FC2.0, I am giving up flight sims as a sort of LOMAC-lent.

 

From now on until the release of FC2.0 I will not;

·

Throw my beloved A-10 around the sky ignoring all warning tones

·

Curse the overheating laser in the SU-25T

·

Mutter about "notching" in the "tennis court"

·

Get my ABRIS in a twist in Black shark

·

Get nostalgic playing Allied Force

·

Not even Fart about in FSX thinking, "if only I had some bombs..."

Instead, I will be in flight-detox, tooling along somewhere off the English coast now that Silent Hunter 5 has enough mods & patches to make it playable.

 

If you should be sailing on a quiet day somewhere off Norfolk, you may think that you can hear distant muttering from under the water. If you put your ear to the water, you might even hear the muffled phrase, "where's the f****ng torpedo spread angle button gone??"

 

 

Don't worry, you are in no danger. I couldn't sink a brick.

 

 

So, the question is, WHAT ARE YOU GIVING UP FOR FC2.0 ? :angel:

Nothing really for me..

 

Though i haven't found myself flying in LOMAC that much these days..

 

What's the point of mastering 1.12 when in few months time, the Flight models, Missile & weapons behavior, AI, etc etc will change...

 

oh well, the important thing is to fly when i want or should i say play when i want :)

 

Anyways the wait continues for me while i do other things besides Lock On.

He, he, he ... I've just built a new rig and thought I could survive without FC for few days until 2.0 comes out. I was wrong. I just can not detox from FC ....

[RedTiger]

Been there, done that. :D

 

I haven't played a flight sim in probably close to a year. Rediscovered playing music and picked that back up. As soon as I found out about FC 2.0, I decided to wait until it came out to pick flight sims back up again. I gotta dust off my HOTAS and pedals, make sure TrackIR still works, and unistall FC and all my mods.

I'm on flight detox from about 3 weeks :/ And from 3 days I'm wondering what will be first?

 

1. My PC in 100% health and all problems sorted out

2. Flaming Cliffs 2.0

 

Unfortunately it looks like ED will be before me...

Well, I'm busy over clocking my shiny new i7 930. LOMAC ate CPU cycles so, as they say, "have some!"

Having fun with ARMAII now its patched and playable. SH5 is a grower but just takes too long to play really. An hour trailing a convoy is very immersive and all that but who has that time?

My last pretense of a social life. :P

[Agg]

Personally I just did a full format of my disks and I dont have any activations left for FC, so I guess I have no other choice than waiting for FC2 to come out :P

[Boberro]

Well I overclocked my AMD 1 core 1800 Mhaz to 2300 Mhz so........ I am prepared :D

Disbelief in time travel.

 

Prepare yourself, I'm on the way

 

 

:D

Who headbanged that conning tower? :P

Heh. We should have a, "familiarisation", league table. The first person to crash in a ball of flame after firing up FC2.0 for the first time. Could be a reworked SAM, or a tweaked flight model, a new tough campaign mission, distracting eye candy......anything.

 

If we take a mayfly's life expectancy of 30 minutes,for arguments sake, as a unit of measure, then post our "first spectacular / inglorious death" times.

 

I would estimate 1.25mfL, for myself. (or we could just use minutes: seconds for sanity's sake).:smartass:

 

 

ps. no setting autopilot over friendly territory and going off for a cup of tea! :doh:
