I'm in the market for an upgrade....THe gamer is not yet complete until I've plugged in all the best resources. However Should I fork out and extra $100-200 Bucks for features that aren't available yet? This FX card is gonna hit the market in the next month. The numbers on paper are great...and the benchmarks are just starting to come in. Should I prepare now for LOMAC 2? Asus A7V8X Mobo w/ Tt Volcano 9 AMD 2400 2.0 Ghz (not OC...yet) 512 DDR PC2700 (gonna goto 1GB soon) GeForce 3 (here's the wifes new card) 19" Envision at 1024x768 Saitek X45 and Logitech RumblPad

Price is Less....I dont think so FX will sell for $150-$200 more then Radeon 9700

Simply Awesome

I hope everyone gets a chance to go to the Dayton, OH Airshow at Wright Paterson Airforce Base. This Year is goin to be very special since it is the 100th Anniversery of Powered Flight. Dayton 2003 will include the USAF Thunderbirds, the Navy's Blue Angels and the Canadian Snowbirds each day of the show. To Celebrate this event, several online squads are trying to put together a Combat Flight Sim LAN show that will beat all others. I would like to invite everyone to this grand event. We are just in the early stages of organization and it's already looking to be a annular spectacle. Please visit our site at: www.simdayton.homestead.com If you are planning to attend the airshow and would like more information about this event, please leave us a message on the message board. Information concerning hotels and reservations will be included soon. We're working on getting group rates as well as setting up a tour to the Presidential and R&D museums. Yes, that's right, the airshow is not just a normal airshow, but for those that don't know, Dayton is the home of the United States Air Force Museum. This is gonna be one grand event that no one should miss. I hope everyone can be there. Thank you Fates

For anyone that hasn't seen this particular screenshot, as well as many others... http://www.lo-mac.com/screens.php?id=1100 Please turn the friggen candle power down!!!!!!!!! A typical aviation NAV light is only 40 watts. I've been yelling at the LOMAC dev team for a year to geta grip on this. If NAV lights were truely this bright at daytime, the lens around them would not be acrylic plastic. Cheers

You can find this at the hogpen....it's not the Desert Screen...but I've seen similar: Here's another:

Is someone missing a goat? I'm not offended at all MW, it's just that we have different opinions. However I do believe that many of our opinions intersect, for instance: Yes, I would like to see 3DsMAx lower their prices, and if they don't, then maybe a Gmax to 3Ds converter. Yes, I would like to see more simmers playing SFP1 Yes, I would like to see SFP2 (Meaning the sim does well and TK makes another) Just my opinion, sorry

Well, 3DS Max is an expensive bit of software. However I take a little different look at it. For someone to afford that software, there must be a reason. That reason is usually career related like "I'm in the graphics professions". That software is also extremely difficult to master. Thus those that do have it are probably using it on a daily basis and possible have so for several years. They have become experienced to the point of putting out new aircraft in a short time. And when I say short, let's ask those that have been modelling aircraft. I don't thank there's a single aircraft that has taken less then 6 months to produce, and that's for an experienced artist. The final product that they produce is incredibly accurate from the radome to the tail nav light. Yes I think it would be great if GMAX was supported for the amatures that want to install a ground object or two, but I would tend to leave the aircraft to the best software and experienced modellers that enjoy flight sims. I'm greatful to those that extend their nights to bring us new planes.

In conjunction with the friends over at SW, BigBeerODB has been working on several ships that will soon be a part of SFP1. They are installed in the game but there are a few hurdles yet to be jumped. Here is a taste of what you may see:

That one is a oil drill ship: but there are several different ships in the works,

Sorry, but I'd have to question the 60,000+ fpm climb rate....WOW!!!

What your describing is exactly what Madjeff is trying to get implemented in the Knowledge Base section at Biohaz Central. The problem with creating this in a Forum style is that a specific problem like: "How do I edit the decals" would become a redundant thread that many might just get sick of answering the same question over and over again. By putting this information in the Knowledge Based Section at BioHaz, it gives the viewer a list of things that they're seeking information on, they click it, and go directly to a concise and accurate answer. The KB section will evolve over time and several years from know someone that picks this game up at Walmart for $9.99 can find a great deal of information in a small amount of space. I hope everyone contributes. If you have any contributions, please go check it out.....it would be a great help. http://www.biohazcentral.com/index.php?mod...rs:%20Project-1 Cheers

It's been my observation that the HL generally goes down for short periods of time between 1700-1900 Eastern time. I believe this to be due to the fact that the site is located at GMT+4. This would mean that it is very late in Europe, thus, a good time to pruduce updates. If you have trouble with the Hyperlobby in the future, try to goto the website. If the website is down, then the ultimate problem is that updates are generally taking place. It's been my experience since the Hyperlobby's creation that this is the case. I've almost always found it back up and going with a few hours. Fates

Arn't these still used in Pakistan?

Anyone got any Good screenshots? Let's see some different categories like: Awesome Ohh...That's Gonna Hurt Doh! Funny Bone Twisting I'll be happy to make a Flight Sim Monthly Calander for BoihazCentral from the winners!!! Cheers!

Good to see ya....let me know when the websites fully operational. Cheers!!

I just noticed something on this pic: http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/gallery/photo/F-1...C92-03161-4.jpg When you drop the flaps and slats...where does the wing go? Are the flaps and slats hinged together??? LMAO

what's the image URL....maybe I can help

By the time I get this game...I might as well give up skinning. There are alot of great skins coming out, seems likes Marcfighters and the rest are beating me to many of them. Great work!

It's my understanding that Players will be able to see another players custom skin in MP if they have previously downloaded it and installed it. Unfortunately it does not file xfer like IL2, but it will still work CHeers

Hope everyone likes the updated skin: The Tail number is added and automatically matched to the selected nose number!!! I'll send the files to Madjeff for posting....

Even more important then that SDirickson is to know your enemies alcohol limitations. If you plan well, you can spend at least a month preparing yourself to be able to outlast you opponent in a night on online combat. This takes Tons of practice offline....so I prefer to push the limits to the extreme in order to get the proper joystick settings... <Cheers>

I remember the Thread on SimHq....was this pic in there? <C>[/img]

Who, what, when, where and how? Looks like an MP vehicle attempting to give the F15 Driver a speeding ticket for excess speed on the taxiway. <C>

Not sure if this is a new bug...but didnt' have the prob a few days ago when I clicked on a member that was "online" to pull up there bio, the background and the text are close to the same color....very difficult to read... <C>
