  1. Lots of us have series one installs. The AI is good enough since the 08 level patches that i find plenty of challenge in a dogfight. Those who do multiplayer run at the 8/06 patch level. You might want to PM Doghouse to set up some MP contacts if you decide to go that route.
  2. If the sensation of speed is such an issue for you try running the game at X2 time compression. Also i would not listen to Pfunk .
  3. I run SF2 on my quad SLI gaming rig, looks fantastic and runs fine.
  4. The Twins Say the Darnest Things

    :lmao:Adorable kids Dave, and very funny.
  5. The parked aircraft drop down menu makes me curious, I wonder if it will be possible to select what is parked at your base? probably too much to hope for, but it would be a great feature.
  6. Hubba hubba pig!

    I know one really cool old school beat cop who really cares about the community, and I respect him tremendously, he spends most of his time fighting the system trying to do the right thing for the folks in his patrol area. unfortunately he is the last of a dying breed and our town is overrun with tweekers,junkies, criminal aliens, scumbags and street urchins. The Town's politics mirror Berkley California The police simply write off property crime because they "don't have the budget to investigate it" and the city government is generally corrupt. They like to make examples of do-gooders who walk around town pumping change into parking meters to prevent others from getting ticketed... they arrest them and throw the book at them. In my town the police spend most of their time trying to extract fines from our citizens"in the name of public safety" rather than fighting crime and going after serious bad guys. I have first hand knowledge of break ins in progress... and cops are only 2 blocks away using a radar gun to generate revenue, the cops are called and they inform the caller that no units are available and it will be some time before they will respond. The caller informs the dispatch that there are cops 2 blocks away running a speed trap. dispatch responds "yes we are aware of that but they are not available" the crooks take there time robbing the warehouse, the cops never show. the warehouse owner follows them and keeps calling the police who are beginning to grow agitated with him. its been over an hour and as he watches these guys unload his merchandise into their garage he calls the cops again and informs them that he's had enough and he is going to confront them directly, and they had better send help now because it is going to get ugly. By the time the cops get there one of the guys has run away and the other one is on the ground S**ting his pants with fear. The cops take issue with the fact that my friend through his tenacity has forced them to act, and try to intimidate him, all in all he came out of it okay but it was a big eye opener in my neighborhood. I really wish we had more old school cops, the problem is that many good cops are serving a corrupt city government such as mine.... and thus if they want to work, they do what they are told. How about a corrupt city government game where you get to screw the people who you tricked into voting for you.... that wold be original.
  7. Probably not a good idea, I would let servicemen vote with their wallet rather than make the choice for them.
  8. This is great!!! thank you TK, Dan and everyone else at thirdwire.
  9. HAWX 2 gameplay preview

    The terrains are just awesome.
  10. What game are you playing? I think the Iran Iraq terrain requires the desert cat file. If you are playing WOE, WOV, or WOI you are out of luck unless you buy Strike fighters and import the cat file into the Iran terrain.
  11. A Gurkha is disciplined for beheading

    The funny part to me was that the article stated that the act of severing the head offended Afghans on all sides of the conflict as it is at odds with Muslim burial practice.... HMMMM....wait a second there does any one else see a bit of hypocrisy in that statement. Seems like there is a long colorful tradition of head severing by the Mujahedeen if my memory serves me right. One minute Mujahedeen warriors gleefuly post videos of the horrific murders of folks like Nick Berg and Eugene Armstrong on the internet and the next they wine that This soldier has commited an un forgivable insult to the great religion of peace by cutting the head of a warlords corpse to prove he is truly dead. It seems to me that the head and the torso can be reunited. If I had my way there would be an emergency meeting in every town in Afghanistan, the question should be raised as to who has irreconcilable religious issues with the incident. those folks should then be sat down and shown the footage of the Mujahedeen beheading innocents in Iraq or the Taliban doing it in Pakistan . Again the hypocrisy of these F***s is beyond the pale their mentality is - we will do what ever we wish to you ... no mater how vile. But with righteous indignation how dare you do that to us!!!!!
  12. I have to wonder why TK would purposely sabotage his otherwise excellent games by creating a system in which our AI teammates are purposely dumbed down and the critical wing man position is for the most part... well ...worthless. Since the level of training of the entire squadron is the most important factor in combat would it not make a whole lot more sense to just include a couple of AI aircraft settings controls for those who feel they need more of a challenge? These games are built around flying Blue side Air... historically NATO pilots have been very well trained. If we are going to give red air magical powers when it comes to their performance, shouldn't we have blue side AI teammates with an IQ over 75? I have heard a few people try to justify his logic on this subject, but when you get past the knee jerk reaction to defend the guy who created these great games it is very clear that the friendly AI is in need of some attention.
  13. Looks great as usual Veltro:salute:. This one's going to be a lot of fun:good:.
  14. Do tell about said framework tweak, I would love to play with that.
  15. I like the idea of a 1983 Bering strait campaign... would also like a Formosa campaign that spanned into the eighties.
  16. Top Gun Video Game

    The real fighter weapon school during its heyday in the 80's hosted squadrons that operated a wide array of naval aircraft F-14A/F-14B/ F-4S/F-4N/F-4J/F-18A/AV-8A/AV-8B/ A-7E and even hosted some Air force types . the worst part of that movie in my opinion was that it failed to capture the variety of aircraft involved in the training.
  17. I had that problem when I increased the flight engine ini detail mesh size #. It would become visible at about the same altitude you are seeing it at.
  18. F-14B/D is my top choice due to its amazing capabilities but it was honestly very difficult not to vote for the the F-15C .
  19. Machinegun shotgun

    The shotgun would be worthless as an air combat weapon due to its limited range, buckshot regardless of the volume of fire could never approach the effectiveness of rifle fire. But mount that on a vehicle in a street level insurgent mass attack CQB scenario and it would be an awesome weapon... if it could be made to work.
  20. The two F-4S squadrons based on the USS Forestall were responsible for over 60% of all intercepts of all Libyan aircraft that attempted to harass US warships conducting "missile test exercises" off the cost of Libya in the days leading up to the gulf of sidra incident. At that time Reagan was keeping a large naval presence in the Mediterranean sea, The war games of 1981 and 1982 were a way testing readiness while keeping pressure on Khadaffy and keeping a force close at hand should the problems in Lebanon escalate further. VF-302 sent 6 F-4S phantoms to the med for the games. VF-302 operated from both the USS Forestall and Naval air station Sigonella on the island of Sicily for the games in the med, and flew some mock combat over the Italian Alps as well They wore a mix of heater Ferris and overall gull Gray low vis paint schemes There is an exact match for the stallions overall gray 36440 low vis scheme in the downloads section we just need the Heater Ferris which was applied as a mirror image --- in the the opposite direction of her sister squadron VF-301.
  21. The squadrons you refer to are under represented -- what we need are the two coral sea F-4N squadrons VF-154 and VF-21 -USS Forestall USS F-4S (they also had a couple of J's) From VF-74 and VF-103 And the midways F-4S- VF-151 and VF-161 - all in both the in the Full overall 36440 gull gray/ with Low Vis 36118 gunship gray anti glare panel/ markings. And the three tone 35237blue gray/ 35320 dark ghost gray/ 35375 light ghost grey tactical Camo Low Vis I would personally like to see a VF-302 Ferris scheme, VF-302 sent a a detachment to the med for "war games" in 1982 They operated off of the USS Forestall allongside VF-103 and VF-74 and made for a nice show of force in the Med after the gulf of sidra incident helping to keep Khadaffi thinking about the consequences harassing US warships.
  22. B-1 retirement?

    So that also kills the B-1R that was supposed to take the strain off from the loss of a full F-22 fleet..... nice..... we are so screwed. They will probably destroy them too like the F-14's just to make sure we can't pull them out of mothballs in a crisis.
  23. Just finished my first ACM in the new cat over Starys reworked Formosa terrain. It was absolutely incredible!!!! A huge Thanks to the tomcat team for this amazing aircraft.
  24. Why me?

    One word- "Honor" Tell Mr Pokey to stand down
  25. Wow Stary this terrain looks better than I could have hoped for. :clapping:Formosa was already one of my favorite terrains and with this update I can tell I will be doing a lot of flying here.
