  1. Yeah I was thinking it might be a little light too. Ill mess with it some more. I like the freshly painted/not so worn looks on F-15's
  2. I am going to go with the older MOD Eagle scheme. Do the colors look right? Disregard the rest of the plane.
  3. http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Vietnam-vet-Plumley-dies-featured-in-war-movie-3936630.php .
  4. Yes I do have it. Its fun as hell.
  5. SZ Are you flying that?
  6. I can live with out it though. I have everything programmed into my Cougar MFD's. So there is no need for it to be for me.
  7. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=18 The DCS: P-51D Mustang offers both highly-detailed simulation and easy-to-play "game" mode options for both hardcore and casual gamers. When in simulation mode, this is the most authentic simulation of the P-51D Mustang that has ever been done for the PC. Enjoy both the thrill of flying this warbird and operating its various weapons against a variety of ground and airborne targets. An interactive training system puts you in the cockpit with an instructor as he walks you step-by-step of learning to fly the Mustang. A powerful yet easy-to-use mission editor allows you to create your own missions and campaigns. A one-click Mission Generator also allows you to instantly create battles as small or large as you wish. Fly online with built-in server browser that supports up to 32 players in both head-to-head and cooperative gameplay. Fly online with other DCS aircraft like the Black Shark and the A-10C Warthog

  9. I don't think any of us did.
  10. I have been fortunate enough to receive a preview copy of Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 from Eagle Dynamics. (Thank you guys). During that time I have been taking the F-15C through the ringer. So I will highlight a few of its improvements that you will get to enjoy here really soon. I would say, in about 2 weeks. External Aircraft Model: The model has received a makeover. It is much more refined, smoother looking and has more detail. Careful attention was made to skins as well. They are a higher resolution with much more detail than the previous versions. This is filler text that needs to be replaced with something other than a bunch of image tags that don't do anything other than mess up the layout of the front page. The Cockpit: The pit has gotten the same treatment as the external model and dare I say even more than that. It is much sharper and clearer than its predecessors. Also the updated lighting in the cockpit is where I think it shines the most. It is just stunning. Flight Dynamics: Well here is where I thought I would be able to talk intelligently. I was sorely mistaken. I was talking to a couple of the head dev/testers and I had a complaint that the Eagle didn't have the power I think it should. Then I proceeded to make my case, with statistics and data and......shut up Dave. It turns out I was actually flying it wrong. For someone who has great knowledge of the Albino I should of paid more attention how to fly it right then just knowing about it. Fortunately those dev/testers I mentioned earlier set me straight. Armed with my new found knowledge I am happy to report, yes the FM is very good and it does follow the -1 specs. Where the complaints of the past said it was underpowered and neutered (I was one of them) I think if you take the time to fly the F-15 right you will see it is quite capable of being a lethal weapon. Don't ham fist it, but she can be forgiving as well. Know your corner speed and use your powerful radar to strike first. So in conclusion I think you're going to really like what the new F-15C has to offer. From the visuals to the under the hood I think Eagle Dynamics has really out did themselves here.

  11. Nice landing Rugg. Nice carnage too.
  12. Hard to explain. It was a forum where a bunch of us used to hang out, blow off steam and cause trouble and talk about simming. Rules are very lax there too. Not safe for work for sure.
