You'll think the same of me once you see me online. ;) Ask GhostDog, my combat skills have been a little.... weak... lately. With the patch I'll be back flying pretty regular now though.

I need some input from you guys on your favorite forum software. We've been using InvisionBoard now for quite awhile and it's about the best free forum software out there. It's quick, uses the least server resources, and it's pretty nice from both the user and mods POV. That's not to say it doesn't have it's faults, however, and so I'm always looking for new and better. Hey, I'm a geek, what can I say! :D Also, I'm not confortable with the direction Invision seems to be moving towards with the upcoming 2.0 release. So, I have started looking at some of the other packages out there, and the one that has caught my attention the most is the new vBulletin. You guys have seen it before, some of the biggest sites on the net use it, and even some of the big Sim sites such as FrugalsWorld use it. It's has some excellent end-user features, is highly moddable, and can support a lot of users, something I hope to have here eventually. ;) So, what do you guys feel about vBulletin? Should we stay with what we have, or is it time to move on to better stuff? I can easily convert the existing board users/messages so we won't lose what we have. I want to make the forum the best it can be for you people, so give me some direction here. ;)

Man, this has been a great week for flight simmers! First comes the long-awaited LOMAC patch, and now we have not 1 or two, but 4 (!!) new aircraft released to an eager public today in the Strike Fighters scene. The F-15A, as well as 3 Harrier models (FRS2, AV-8C & S) should keep us entertained for a few days. Grab the files in the Project-1 Aircraft Addons File Library. F-15A AV-8S AV-8C FRS.2

it's a good day for a court-marshallin' ... ;) Great pics GD!

This great new util is now posted in the File Library, you can grab the new version 0.90 here: Project-1 Mission Editor

I haven't had a chance to fly the past couple nights, but I cleared my schedule to get some stick time in tonight. So, I'll be hosting a little MP fun this evening from 5pm Pacific time (8pm EDT) and welcome people to join me. I'll be on TeamSpeak as well, just hop on from here: Biohaz TeamSpeak Page The game will be hosted on fshost.dtdns.org Hope to see you there!

V1.02 Msforce Feedback 2 Stick/Framerate Fix Just saw this at the Ubi forum. Seems to be an issue with Microsoft's Force Feedback Sidewinder stick causing a substantial loss in framerate. Luckily, there is a workaround. The fix is as follows: Edit your Config/Producer.cfg file in our favorite editor. Always a good idea to make a backup first just in case. You want to change the line: ForceFeedbackEnabled = true; Change to: ForceFeedbackEnabled = false; That's it. You lose force feedback (though not return to center tension), but you gain 10-20 FPS. Original Ubi thread

I'm just heading for work but will post on the front page when I get there. Thanks for the heads-up, with all the LOMAC news this week this one slipped through the cracks. ;)

If you guys want I can actually add the flight plan into FShost.

I'll be sure the FSHost server and Teamspeak stay open for ya. ;)

Sorry, haven't had a chance, probably not for a day or two. It's working so well here I'm having too much fun flying! ;)

Posted on the front page, but thanks for the heads-up anyway... ;)

The issues have (supposedly) been corrected and we seem to have been pretty stable the last 4-5 hours. I'll post if anything changes, and be sure to let us know if you notice any extended down time.

Man, the quality of the addons in Project-1 get better with every release. This looks like it's going to be a must-have.

That is a neat addition! I'll have to test it out this evening... ;)

There is also a new keycard in that folder to replace the original one. You will see two, an A and B since the original keycard was a two-side one. Take another look... ;)

We seem to be having some server issues the past few days and we have been up and down. I have a ticket in to my webhost, and will keep everyone appraised until it is resolved. I apologize for the downtime folks...

There is a new 1.02 keycard in the lomac /docs folder, take a look. ;) There's some good docs in there, including the new RWR in v1.02, the full manual, an X45 config map pic, and a few other goodies.

I have a Turtler Beach Santa Cruz, best card out there IMHO... ;) I've never had any FPS hit from the sounds.

Damn, if it's got the lexicon seal of approval, you know it must be good. ;) Just kidding ya lex... :D

Now that the patch is out, I was wondering if anyone wants to jump online around 5-6 PM PDT (8-9EDT) and do some flying? I'll have TeamSpeak running as well for voice comms, and I thought it would be fun to get on and screw around a little. ;)

Just curious as to what people think of the new patch. I for one am majorly impressed with the performance increases, as well as the enhanced A-10 HUD symbology. Haven't had much chance to try the other planes yet, but it really does feel like a whole new game here. B)

We've mirrored the files here at Biohaz, you can find them in the LOMAC Patches file area.

Damn, I'm off for an hour or so and it's released. ;) They actually released it quicker than I thought they would, I was thinking it would be late this week at the earliest. I think you guys are going to be pleasantly surprised, it really is a whole new game. Smoother, good MP, much improved overall.
