rattler Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks ED Thanks to all the people in ED for a job well done. Waiting for English version. Question. Will a Cd or DVD version be available in Canada or U.S.?:thumbup::thumbup:
159th_Falcon Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Looks like the CD version will be available at simware on the 30th of April http://www.simw.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=dsp_product_details&pid=2354 Talking about buying, how about people without an credit card? Is Paypal or a similar system accepted yet? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:)
Speed Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Learn this :D: Wow, that's pretty pitiful if all you have to do is dive toward the ground to evade an AMRAAM in TBS... the missile would have plenty of doppler signature to home in on IRL, almost certainly wouldn't lose lock. I hope that video is not representative of missile homing modelling. Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

159th_Falcon Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Haven't found FC2 on D2D yet, but that's maybe because the EN version isnt released yet. But yes, they do accept PayPal.

Nate Umm.. missiles change their behavior based on the AI level of the platform that shot it?! I've never heard of a game like that! I hope you're wrong. Not realistic in the least bit!

RvEYoda Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) Missiles are the same fired from AI as fired from human. I would guess(could be wrong) that more effort goes into modelling missile types which are useable by human flyable aircraft than missile types solely carryable by AI. An AMRAAM is still an AMRAAM, fired by AI or human doesn't really matter. If you believe evading missiles is super easy, i suggest you try it yourself, maybe you will find it not so easy ;).

Speed Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 If you believe evading missiles is super easy, i suggest you try it yourself, maybe you will find it not so easy ;). I should hope not, but it seems alot of the time in DCS IR missiles only take a few flares to evade. Some of these things have pretty good IRCCM in real life. I can't draw any definate conclusions though, I haven't extensively tested it, so I'll defer to your judgement for the time being and be relieved :) Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

manne Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Congrats! Two short questions (hope it's appropriate for this thread): - So FC2.0 is for $30 a standalone game/update, or do I need to buy a previous version first? - Is the region the same as DCS: Black Shark or is it bigger/different? It looks the same but not 100% sure.
Xjikz Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 You should read the FAQ .... - So FC2.0 is for $30 a standalone game/update, or do I need to buy a previous version first? >> You only need Lomac, eventually BS if you want to fly the KA-50. - Is the region the same as DCS: Black Shark or is it bigger/different? It looks the same but not 100% sure. >> Exactly the same region, no more Crimea and welcome Georgia! Proud to be a [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] :joystick::pilotfly::book:

The FAQ says that only the DVD version will allow you to upgrade LOMAC directly to FC 2.0. Otherwise, you'll need FC1.12 to buy the FC2.0 download version.

I already read the FAQ on the website, but it seems that it is not up to date because only the forum version has this question "What if I do not have a copy of Flaming Cliffs to upgrade to Flaming Cliffs 2.0?" I don't have anything (only DCS:BS) so as far as I understand I'll need to get LOMAC and Flaming Cliffs 1 in order to play Flaming Cliffs 2. Edited March 26, 2010 by manne

Otherwise, you'll need FC1.12 to buy the FC2.0 download version. Sorry for the mistake. But finally you don't need to BUY FC 1 because the activation is useless. So maybe if you just run the FC1 setup, it's just enough ? So all you have to do is download the setup file and you save money? http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=4&end_pos=135 Edited March 26, 2010 by Xjikz Proud to be a [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] :joystick::pilotfly::book:

A: Either Lock On + Flaming Cliffs unofficial add-on (you would not have to activate) + Flaming Cliffs 2.0 upgrade or Lock On + Flaming Cliffs 2.0 DVD. The only missing piece of information here is 2.0 DVD release date.

Gary Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Gents, Could someone please confirm my understanding of this. I know it may be very clear to some - and I think I understand now but just finally is this correct? You will need to either have Lock-on and flaming cliffs installed on your PC to use the English download of FC2 or wait for the DVD if you just have Lock-on installed as the download will only update FC1 I presently only have BS on my PC but given how impressed I am with that I'm desperate to get FC2 running. Happy to go and buy Lock-on from PC world (£5) and then update to FC1 via the website download in order to be able to use English download of FC2 but wanted final confirmation that this is indeed the only way to do this now? Might end up costing me £50 but my experience of BS suggests oits worth every penny I5 - 1TB SSHD, 256 SSD - Nvidia 1070 - 16gb ram - CV1
