you'd hope that if it was in screenshots they'd make use of it in the sim. i suppose we're going to have to wait.

No-one knows for sure as the sim isn't finished, but my GUESS would be that you'll have to turn some of the detail down. FPS is often more important than eye candy when you get down to the dogfight.

I am in the process of putting together a SIMPLE competition for an engagement oriented roundrobin. It will be open to north american based squads only at the moment, but if the LOMAC netcode can handle it it will be expanded at a later date. Obviously there are very few details on the format etc since we don't have our hands on it yet, but if anyone is interested in being part of the process for the initial go at this please drop by our website.

if you haven't dropped a message into our forums, please drop by and do so. Cheers

The main idea is it's a TEAM ladder for squads, where missions will be designed to require teamwork. It's going to be a lot easier to administer If i have to keep in contact with a couple of people representing groups rather than individuals.

heheh join a squad.

probably not. This is to be squad vs squad.

rgr got it.

momentum and great big control surfaces

exactly :D

I've heard the nforce2 was pretty good.

Heh same here. AMD4LIFE! I had quite a few problems with my Via chipset board on my last athlon, trackir would hiccup, random pauses etc etc. Got a bit tired of taking the "risk" of using an alternative chip and chipset. During research before the purchase the chipset was supposedly great but took well over 12 months before the problems with it were positively identified, leaving me out of warranty and unable to replace. Left a sour taste in my mouth.

I can SOME of the time. Looks like a load issue to me ;)

I don't think the intention was to compare the sims to each other, but the cpu to the sims, and to be honest the thought that some people may be doing that didn't even occur to me. Everyone knows that better graphics come with a price, and LOMAC looks light years ahead of most of the other sims out there. The review was of the CPU's performance, not LOMAC's. SimHQ isn't about A sim, its about lots of sims, and for the players of other sims to know what the performance is like on a new processor on the sims they play is very useful information. I think about the only error in judgement was the assumption that the readers were going to pay attention to the text of the article AND everyone would be adult enough to ignore those who didn't. We've already seen that this community has more than it's fair share of asshats.

good luck to them :) Let's hope moderation doesn't get mixed up with selective removal of constructive criticism.

so you have an explanation for the behaviour seawolf?

Taipan's are the Pacific Northwest's premier LOMAC tactical fighter wing and is intended to be both the home for very experienced combat flight simmers and a place for new people to learn the intricacies of modern air warfare. Once the squad is established, LAN days will be run for those interested in a full day of intensive air combat. The wing will be participating in online wars with other squadrons and cooperatively. This squad is very adult oriented and focuses on LOMAC, not BS ;)

you can use this image. http://taipans.dyndns.org/images/emblem.jpg attached to this post also.

got a question. I've registed in the squads list, but need to send you guys either the url for site image OR the image itself. who do i need to contact?

anyone notice the hand of god that comes down when he exits the cobra and stops him from cratering the tarmac? ah i see some people have. something strange is afoot at the circle K.

looks like something i need to dust off ;)

and then there's us. adult oriented :), no BS

Not modable and no dynamic campaign?! :( i'll cross my fingers Remember the dynamic campaign addon for F-18 superhornet?
