Rambler 1-1

Hey, I just finished off a couple of '29s with my trusty crusader. I kinda cheated though... I got into the vertical with the first one and put out some flap, then hammerheaded over the top and lodged 2/3 of my ammo into his starboard wing root and engine (he stalled just as he got lined up for a shot behind me, that poor bugger). The second one overshot and popped in to burner at about 120 knots, a mile or so away. Winder fodder. I had AI on hard, too. It just goes to show that it's the pilot, not the plane :yes: Also, "on drugs and act like retards"? isn't that what flanker fliers do? (*runs away*)

How 'bout this? I was doing some strike stuff in an F-18 and while I was trying to line up for a maveric shot, a bloody silka got me. It blew off my left wing, left vertical and horizontal stabilizers, knocked off both of my engines and blew my main gear to timbits. Luckily, I was going about 600 kts when I got hit, so I dumped my stores and got as much altitude as I could, using chaff to ward off those 50-foot, mach 4 fire farting telephone poles that are SAMs. I headed out for a wetfoot ditch in international waters, but then I realised that I might be able to make an airfield. I swooped in with no main gear and greased it on, and just as I did, a MiG-23M went past that would have had a field day on me. On de-brief, it said I died, though, despite the fact that I landed at an allied base. Weird.

make a big one of Saddam. I'm gonna strafe it. or one that says "Welcome to Iraq. Firearms welcome" or "All infadels will be shot. Survivors will be shot again." lol "curb your camel"

Very nice! I thought I was doing well when I got 5 '21s with the 144 bullets, but flankers and '29s?

ok it happened again, but this time I noticed that it was the same plane that one of my 'winders allmost hit, and I couldn't shoot again because there was anothe MiG on my six. Also, there was no exhaust as he flew away, so I must have just damaged the bugger and he bellied out on his way home.

I wanted to make some videos from SFP1, so I downloaded a trial of fraps. It sucked. Every time I went to record, my game CTD'd. So I got Gamecam Light version 1.4. It works well enough that I can record videos, but when I do, I'm remeinded that my vid card is only a PCI, and the display goes chunky, making dogfighting really difficult. I'm wondering if anybody out there knows of a video recorder that might not do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Joining air cadets in december... No uniform yet.

waddayermeen? The AI on my SFP1 are allways running their tanks dry. more that once I've put my plane on autopilot and watched as that one MiG I didn't get slows down to just above stall speed, then belly lands in the desert with no exhaust smoke. unless they just shut down their engines, which I just found was impossible, they must have run outa fuel. Besides, the only thing with endless gas is my dad on taco night.

It's kinda weird that the on/off engine thing isn't in SF/WOV/WOE, because there is a sound file for prop start-ups. I once thought that I had accidentally turned of the Allison in my P-40K mid-dogfight, but it was a bullet that was responsible for that one.

Done, done and done! that bloody long John booglie bones aint gonna get me this year!

To madmonk: Actually, most of the models are pretty accurate, as far as I know. The F-4 wasn't designed to fly slow or to turn, and neither were mose american planes, come to think of it. Just use the sheer brute force of your engines to get you out of trouble. To Grosse Hosen: Actually, changing the stall and manuver speed is really called cheating. If you just wanna blow 'em up, fly with everything on "easy". MiGs were designed to manuver, and that's just the way it is. also, I think your caps lock is stuck.

sometimes while jinking flak or MiG guns, I find myself humming "Can't touch this".

I broke the tie! yaayaayyayayyyyaayyy!

(Ahem) I am hereby sueing a ZU-23-4 AAA unit for blowing the bajeebers out of me on my first strike mission in an F-18. Also, I'm sueing McDonnell Douglas/Boeing for building an aircraft that can be destroyed by ground fire. And I'm gonna sue Martin Baker because despite the fact that it saved my A**, it cost me several hundred dollars in chiropractic expenses. So there.

nice, but.... ..... who's next?

the XF-8U looks like a great plane, but.... ...isn't it kinda ugly? (*braces for impact*)

I'd go with FSX. '04 is just '02 with a bunch of planes you usually don't fly. If you have a good enough comp, defiently go for the new one. Besides, if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

what a loser. I hope that if they do crash, they auger in on him.

where'd you come up with that one? It's funny 'cause it's true!!! I like to listen to Flight of the Valkyrie while dogfighting. The Prelude to Lohengrin is good too. Also, blurry, waste my hate, and I wanna rock are some good flying songs. I kinda tune out when I'm fighting. the only song I need is while flying is the one played by a J-57 and four 20mm cannons! YEAH!! wild blue yonder's good too.

eel flavour spam? mmm......

I thought it was the seventh, or maybe eighth. There's Ace Combat, Ace Combat 2 through five, then Ace combat Zero and now ace combat six, and wasn't there an ace combat type game for the arcades?

Jeez, I'm away for three days and this happens. Eels? more cowbell? big pants? ghay? Giant Claw? 2 weeks? huh? EJECT! EJECT!

WW1 sticks? That's simple! just stick a toilet plunget to the floor between your feet! Just kidding, just kidding. actually, the replica joysticks sond pretty good. A general 60's style fighter joystick would best suit what most of us want, I think. Where would I be able to get my hands (pun) on one of these things? I'm gonna need a replacement for my Logitech pretty soon.

Hey everybody I have wanted to change the stock "Burning Sands" mercenary campagn in SFP1 for a while now, but I've tried and failed many times. The main thing I want to do is move it foreward in time to the mid to late 60's, and I want to change the plane you fly from an F-100 to an F-8. Is this possible? How? Any help is appreciated.

I'd rather have something new, like an avro arrow, even though the 'cat with AL-31s sounds interesting.
