Great Instructional Video

[Guest ruggbutt]

... the F-14 was a wrong example to show an F pole, along with a missile dodge like that..

 

taking advantages of one games netcode and flaws is not my ideal of instructional video.

Lets see your instructional video then. It seems that the majority of your posts here have to do w/how superior you are or how much more advanced in all aspects of life you are than the rest of us. Are you overcompensating for something else?

 

Either way those are valid tactics, even w/the F14/AIM54. In that particular instance in the vid the missile passed close. LOC, Shadow and I have all used those tactics to put the AIM54 at max range to avoid it even getting close. As LOC stated, in that particular instance he started the maneuver late. Would you prefer he redo the video to show how he can force the missile to detonate beyond damage range to the locked aircraft?

 

Better yet, why don't you do it?

Look, Im am not here to start a pi$$ing contest nor judge anyones life just because what I saw in the video contradicted what I read about the phoenix lethal zone being up to 50 meters thats all. And I wasnt the only one to notice that. You can take my points or not, its up to you. But Im entitled to an opinion and surely I wont shut up if it "offends" a few people that I have a different view of the matter.

Im not here in a denial crusade against anyone.

I think the video does what it's supposed to do: Instruct the viewer in how to conduct an F-Pole maneuver, and that's good.

 

What it does not do is show you what to do when the other craft does an A/F-Pole, which is due to poor AI (which doesn't start such maneuvers to begin with) ... which is unnecessary. Some things youv'e got to learn through experience :)

This is a fantatisc instructional videoclip for lo-mac newbies and experienced lo-mac virtual pilots. Thanx ruggbut, L0csta! :)

What tactic in lo-mac 1.1 can one do in the same scenario as this videoclip but with 2 F14's?

Guys,

 

Please forgive my ignorance, but when I try to play this avi file in Windows Media Player I get audio but no video. Do I need some special codec? and where can I get it?

 

Thanks...

[Guest ruggbutt]

Most likely you'll need the DivX codecs. http://www.divx.com

Thanks Ruggbutt. I D/L'd the DivX Player with codec and played file on that- great video, and instructive.

 

Just curious tho- is there any way to get Media Player to play this, or am I better off just using DivX (and having an additional application on my computer) ?

[Guest ruggbutt]

Right click on the movie, and choose properties. You'll have the option to choose what to open that movie with, choose WMP then apply.

Yep. Thanks again. Slowly becoming educated..... :)

I think along with Ironhands tutorials its great - Id like to see some other videos - basic stuff would be great .. the more taught the better then more would `dare` ;) to go online I reckon :)

 

Nice one Loc!
