Rgr that, it was an AI pilot. Damage most definately effects your flight however, as I've experienced quite a bit yesterday Purely for experimental reason, not because of stupid flying...

Damn Shep, that is one dead-on shot... :D

use the IMG tags, like this: [img=url to sig]

Take a look at some of the environmental effects...

Fixed it. You guys need to tell me when this stuff is broken... ;)

You can drop Stingers and hand-held SAMs, but there are no ground troops as in grunts running around shooting small arms at you. :D

I am having as much fun creating AI fights as I am flying! Here's some misc. pics for today... In Hot... Spanked by a Shilka B-1 Money Shot 1 B-1 Money Shot 2

I've been flying WW2 Fighters whenever I get the itch to fly WWII Props. It still looks prettier (IMHO) than FB. And those 3d cockpits...

Right now the best bang for your buck in the 150-200 range is the Radeon 9600 Pro. If money is not an object, the 9800 Pro is the best right now. The Radeon cards seem to have a better quality image as well as better AA capabilities. Just MHO...

I'm ashamed to say it...but...I don't own FB OR IL-2. There, I said it. I'm so ashamed... :D

Here's some different pics showing various carrier ops... How's that for detail Call the ball On the deck One wire?

Here's a series of pics showing a cruise missile strike on a carrier with some rather spectacular results. Here's the windup... and the pitch! Check out the boosters falling away... It's a low slider Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark!

Man, what a waste, that is just sad...

Ouch, that one's gonna leave a mark...

I decided to remove the Project-1 Bug Reporting forum since TK will have his own bug reporting on his site once SP2 is out (I imaging). I moved all the posts into the Project-1 General Forum so we don't lose anything.

Matt sent me over a set of pics of another F-14/Mig-23 fight, looks like the Migs got their revenge on this sortie.

This was quite an interesting fight and really showed off the AI. I purposely set the two sides fairly close at the start of combat. 001 was shot down pretty quick from a lucky shot, but 002 really got into it with one of the Migs. It was a real turn fight for about 4 minutes before the F-14 finally got the upper hand. You can actually setup the skill level of EACH pilot from novice to excellent, with about 5 choices in between. And it does make a difference. I had set up 003 and 004 as novice, and they splashed pretty quickly, while 002 (set on expert) gave quite a fight. So my initial reaction is that the AI was pretty good, as I never really saw them do anything stupid in this fight.

The preview writing starts today, but I guess I can cough up that much. Right now I'm running on a Athlon XP1900 (overclocked to a 2200+) with a Radeon 9600 Pro. Graphics settings are on high and AA set to 4x. Not a monster system by any means. And an FYI, I actually ran it on my old Radeon AIW 32meg card and it still looked good, and ran quite well with some of the detail off. One other thing. The graphics and vids do NOT do this sim justice. It's the little things you can't see in screenshots that make this thing so immersive.

Stormin, thanks! I was having too much fun to actually figure out the commands last night. :D I'll do that on the next set, which should be later tonight...

Here they are folks, the first of many screenshots! I thought I would start the lot with some of the neglected aircraft. Tomcats on the prowl And there's the prey... Knife Fight Going down Heading home, minus one

Seawold, PM inbound... :D

Anyone up to writing a in-depth review on this? I'm neck-deep in the LOMAC thing and won't be able to get to it for a little while...

Doh, that hurt... ;) I find little humor in that... Damn now you got me doing it...

The explosions and detail in this vid is awesome, one of the best vids yet.
