SGCSG1

I just bought X3: Terra Conflict but probably won't have time to get to it for a couple of months. Know where I can find a CH map for it?

Can you tell me the name of one of the files you've downloaded? And a little info, like what area, what plane, like ' Air to Air, F-15, RWS Training'. I suspect it's a video, but you are missing a codec, so you don't see the picture, just hear the sound.

I would have bought this, but the DRM killed the deal for me. Steam? Online authentication? Forget it.

I read on the official forum that if you go into 'cockpit' view, the game forces you into 'assisted flight' mode. Sucks, eh? I wonder if that's true even for the PC version, or is it just the console versions that are gimped? This would be a deal-breaker for me.

Can anyone tell me if this sim supports 1680x1050? Thanks

I have the Lock On gold package which consists of two cd's. Am I correct in thinking I can install disc 1 and have NO STARFORCE on my PC? It's my understanding that only the 'Flaming Cliffs' cd had starforce on it. Is this right? Thanks for any info!!!

Thank you! Do you know if the Lock On Gold disc 1 is the same as the original Lock On patched to V1.02?

I'll be darned, there's life in these forums after all. Yes, this game intrigues me. I love WW1 sims over anything else, and this looks fabulous. I just hope they don't pork it up by putting in starforce or something equally stupid. In the meantime, back to 'First Eagles'....

I bought First Eagles about 4 months ago and have been too busy to buy a joystick to play it! I finally got a Saitek HOTAS and think this game is a blast. It's just what I want in a sim - good graphics, good controls, adjustable gameplay, very immersive, lots of planes to fly. No weird bulls**t like bizaare controls schemes, the enemy planes that can hover and fly backwards (that's how it seems in some sims) or nonsense like that. It's a very good, vanilla, common sense, playable WW1 sim. I'm going to check out some of the other 'Third Wire' sims.....

All I'm finding are profiles for the older Saitek stuff. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I suppose they'll be flying Super-Hornets now that the Tomcats are all retired. Or maybe a JSF variant?

Just read the manual. You need to authenticate to their server online. Forget it, I'm not bothering with this one.

I'm hoping it will be something like 'U.S. Navy Fighters', which was not a serious sim, but was a lot of fun. I'm also hoping it won't have unacceptable DRM, like limited installs, etc.

Does it support 1680x1050 resolutions? And a full joystick/throttle/rudder setup? If so, I'm onboard.

I was a pretty big flight-sim buff back in the 90's in the glory days. Red Baron, AOTP, etc. I'm trying to get back into it and am looking for joystick recommendations. CH is too pricey for me these days. I was thinking of maybe the AV8R, or one of the Saitek stick/throttle combo's. Any comments or suggestions welcome.

I've ordered a Saitek X52 pro stick and throttle. If I really like First Eagles maybe I'll get the Saitek pedals as well. Too bad no one makes Mech sims anymore. They were awesome with full HOTAS.

Link?

Newguy1 here. I'm running a patched, vanilla version of First Eagles. Whenever I enter a mission the game hangs at 60% loaded for a minute or two. I'm running XP SP2 on a very fast pc (core 2 8400, 8800gts, 2gig ram). Any comments or suggestions? This is driving me nuts.

Switching from 'unlimited' to 'high' cut my load times by a minute. Thanks for the tip.

I guess I can give up on my dream of 'Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator: Red Baron'.
