  1. Before XP3 The Man says we're going to Iceland
  2. I wonder, if it'll be able to set overcast layer to almost ground level thus making ground radar and ILS useful.
  3. Or AWACS? Or FAC?
  4. Ground unit bearing assignment and chance of happening is kinda cool. I'm game to try creating a convoy support mission when you won't know when and where ambush might strike along the way. Not to mention more random AR.
  5. TK didn't have info and didn't model the panel. Be happy you get full audio. AFAIK, the original system showed direction and warned about tracking but didn't detect launch.

  6. Oopsy Microsoft....

    You think that's bad? There's an Austrian village called f***ing.
  7. Saudi Lightning?
  8. Are we going to get our arses frozen off in the Cat before XP3? I wonder if missile intercept makes an appearance.
  9. When you want 2. to roam free try telling him to "Break". He'll leave formation and find something to occupy himself with a few seconds after that.
  10. My wingmen use BVR misiles whenever I tell them to engage air, even when the bogies are blips the radar. As for Harrier the trick is simple - don't forget you have no armor and don't wait until you get a launch warning. Run for the hills on "Track" tone.
  11. Derk, you assume they leave a crew. They could eliminate stewards since they deliver stuff during level flight when the plane can fly on autopilot. So the pilots could fetch people coffee right after takeoff. Of course, that would mean that there won't be anyone to read safety instructions but a set of Bible, Koran and a 1000 rpm prayer wheel in the pocket of the seat in front would be the only help for those who dare to fly Ryanair anyway.
  12. Why don't they just charter a shepherd and walk people to other airports?
  13. IIRC, ground AI automatically engages enemy targets in vicinity (tanks wipe out AAA if fight near airfileds). The new editor seems to have ground unit placement mode. Perhaps creating a massive mixed battle will get a bit easier now. I know that at the earliest opportunity I'll be putting full SA-8 units of 6 instead of 2 to cover tanks...
  14. Did XP3 priority shift from coming before SF:Tomcat to after? TK seems really eager to let the cat out by Christmas.
  15. Not only did we have them, but they could go Mach 1 http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7460
  16. 5 new shots on facebook, guys. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=460172&id=187224385202&l=0ae773e0c6 The interface of the editor seems to've been adjusted, notice the icons instead of captions - that's new. Also.. LIGHTNINGS!
  17. A couple of shots I shall title "Well, bugger!"
  18. Ah... Oh, well. Back to waiting for the ME!
  19. BTW, did I miss something or one of the recent patches has made HVAR an A-A weapon in addition to A-G role? Foreshadowing rockets for intercept?

  20. Второе дополнение к SF2

    Gr.Viper replied to Gr.Viper's topic in Русский

    Анонс, угу. Дразнят народ картинками. Срок выхода по традиции не объявлен, но когда-то планировалось на конец лета.
  21. Never mind the Lightnings, look at the detail on Flora!! Bump! Rivets! Ribs!
  22. Wait, won't a different land base allow creation of player-flyable transfer and transport missions? At least transfer. Imagine getting jumped by MiGs with only fuel tanks as main defence weapon.
  23. Gr.1. Gr.3 were flyable in SF2E.

  24. Второе дополнение к SF2

    Gr.Viper replied to Gr.Viper's topic in Русский

    Тизер. Встроенный редактор миссий точно будет. http://combatace.com/topic/58674-sf2-expansion-2-teaser-and-mission-editor-teaser/
  25. Holy carp! Dave gets this month's camelspotting trophy!
