GGTharos Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 "Otherwise it's all Air Quake, and many of us just aren't into the whole "my missile is bigger than yours" thing. " not nessesarily true, BVR combat involves a bit more than "air-quake", and most squads flying online are using complex comms, tactics and formation.....spamming 8 slammers on the on the other hand....... ... is very amusing when you dodge'em all and smack him with a 9 (or gun) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
ARM505 Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 (Mutters under breath)....dedicated server, dedicated server.... I'm sorry, but if they want to improve it's popularity online (and therefore overall, in this more and more popular field), they would do well to put out DS software, IMHO. Observe IL2's success. And I believe it's not just because props are simpler to handle.

Even something as simple as mission rotation would keep the servers fresh, and they would be able to run full war missions without having to manually restart after all the targets are gone.
GGTharos Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 It's already been said that there are plans with strong possibility (but no promises) for a DS in 1.2. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
mikoriad Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Battlefield demo 2. I used to run the frogfoot server (I'll be back next month promise! lol) but all my time is spent on the battlefield2 demo. It seems some lomac pilots have started playing this game cause it's getting tough flying out there :) LOL, I've noticed that too. Most of the pilots used to suck in the begining. Pretty crappy Fm's but very fun. Althlon X2 6400+ 3.2 ghz EVGA 8800GT SC - 512mb X-45 MOMO pedals
S77th-GOYA Posted June 26, 2005 Author Posted June 26, 2005 F4:AF being released is not going to help the situation at all. At no point yesterday did I see 30 people in HL.
eXor Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 There are currently 42 pilots in the Lomac lobby according to the Hyperlobby website. Forgotten Battles has 559 and surprisingly, Pacific Fighters has 15 :confused: Avaritia bona est.
Nate Dogg Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Well i finally got online just now with 1.1 and it was a little slow early on, but then all of a sudden there were 8 people in my server and when i exited the were 55 people on and still are. I wouldn't really want too many more people in as the number of servers is low. I had a blast. No lockon online is not dead. There just isn't many of us lomac pilots around compared to Il2
SUBS17 Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 There are currently 42 pilots in the Lomac lobby according to the Hyperlobby website. Forgotten Battles has 559 and surprisingly, Pacific Fighters has 15 :confused: Thats because they mostly use IL2-FB-ACES-PF all with the latest patch. So all the hardcore IL2 guys are using all the features of the game. Where as the ones with just PF stand alone are flying with much less features. I am very much impressed by the fact that the developers of this sim did that. No wonder it is so popular, fingers crossed ED follows the same path with lockons successor. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
