Well I am on mission 7 without dying once. I have raked up 8 A/A kills and am 1-1 for ground pounding missions. Had to put her down on a friendly strip once due to a "heavy on the burner" fight with three Migs. I have not landed her on a carrier yet... I fly back to the Flat Top and line up the aproach then end the game at about 3/4 of a mile. I still have truble lining up a bandit in my radar scope while flying the F8 somtimes though.... Wonder if the game is glitchy or the early war F-8 radar left much to be desired....?

Started playing an Early Vietnam Campaign off of Yankee Station with the "Sundowners" Flying this fantastic plane. What a scrapper this thing is. Fast and agile and the nature of the beast has you engaging inside VR so there are no .... "Mistakes". It also sems to have close to the Maneuverablity of the Mig but a ton more Firepower, thrust and speed. Only problem I get is the A/A Radar seems to not want to lock up somtimes in search and boresight mode. "Ugly-as-sin" airplane but man can she fight up a storm..... Anyone else love the F-8?

Oh... come on now guys...Can't you handle a few Miggy's without helpypoo? Strap on some balls and just get it done man.... LOL -
I am sure that there is articles about this all over this board, but could someone walk me through how to load up a new plane? What steps are there to this feat? Is there some plane files that are easier then others to set up? If so what ones? Pretend I am a chimpanzee that speaks only basic English and his only computer skills revolve around pasting sticks with his dung to the tower and screen when describing this ;-) If you are brave enough to respond to this be prepared to be asked stupid questions as I am from the “The only stupid questions are the ones not asked” school of thought.

Just Bought LOMAC Gold
F-4PhantomII replied to F-4PhantomII's topic in Digital Combat Simulator Series General Discussion
Well it handles WoV on max settings on the highest res with no problems and it looks incredible doing it. I figured I would at least be able to fart around with LOMAC. -
Ive got a P4 3 Gig with 1 Gig RAM but a crappy stock Integraded Intel Graphics chipset. Whne I run the Game the Graphics are a complete mess, the planes are all Black with no detail, the cockpits a mess with only the extreme corners regestering anything in color. Is it my Graphics card? Or did I need to shut down more programs during the install? Has this happend to anyone else?

WHAT!?! Now where is the fun in that? -
Thanks for the advice bro. How do I target the objective for my wingman to hit it? I cannot seem to place brakets on it so I can't use the "Attack my target" feature. I know 105's are not the greatest dog fighters out there, but they do have a fare amount of "go" especially when compaired to Mig's and can outrun them. if you overshoot them. But it looks like I will be practicing my dive approach as it is hardly refined. But thats what is great about this game as opposed to F/A 18 and F-15... the planes don't fight for you. Also, are you an SP? Cause my dad was when he was in the Airforce. Matter of fact my whole family is Airforce.

So last night I start in on a mission flying the F-105 Thunderchief with one wingman and a flight of four other planes. We All take 6 750's for pounding the ground, and 2 Sidewinders in case things get a little Mig happy, and things always do and it is nice to be able to fight back. So we approach the target and as I start to set up my pass over the rail bridge in question I “release the hounds” on ground targets. Out of the 6 ‘105's I started with only 2 land (including me). What gives? Should I not release them so soon? Not let them go at all? Tell them to stay home cause if they go they will die? Also how do you target things like a bridge or a warehouse or a landing strip? Cause all I seem to be able to target is the AAA and Sam sites. Also dive bombing is getting a little old and trying to pick up altitude for the dive is both fuel consuming and makes me a sitting duck. Any advice on level bombing? I was used to Janes: F-15 were I had both a good view, and a bomb sight in my HUD.

I know LOMAC is there. But it would be nice to have another Sim that had a focus on the Flanker. Kinda like Falcon X.0 sieries.
