Yeah good luck DK. And like Jeff said, if ya want to do some articles for Biohaz, please do.

Im looking forward to the review Jeff. Im real interested in this device, it could really improve the realism and sit awareness. I am wondering though why it runs so slow for Fast Eagle. I doubt he is alone having problems with framerates, etc. The setup doesnt really bother me, I can figure it out eventually. Were did you guys get yours? From the Manufacturer online or some store like CompUSA?

How fast is your computer. I have a P3 1ghz with Radeon 8500 64MBDDR.

Check out this video of this new device that allows you to pan the view by simply moving your head, among other things. This is WAY cool! Situational awareness in computer gaming just took a quantom leap! $129, Now before I rush out and buy this new toy... Has anyone heard anything more about this? Is there any problems/bugs/irradiated brains oozing out peoples' ears? Video is found here... http://games.naturalpoint.com/sidebar/imag...ackIR_small.wmv

I found this this morning on the SimHQ forums...http://www.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/boards/bb...TML/003525.html Check it out NOW DUDES! :shock: :D

Sign me up as a MiG jockey. Been studying the tactics they used. Good to know yur former enemy... My only problem has been being able to connect online. I also been using a program called FRAPS, downloadable from http://www.fraps.com/. You then use Windows Movie Maker to import the avi's and edit them into a movie. Majorlee turned me on to it after I wrote him and expressed an interest in making ingame movies. The only drawback is that the game resolution has to be 640X480X16. Newer versions of FRAPS will hopefully take care of that issue. For a sample of a FRAPS made movie, click here...http://www.major-lee.net/images/Marine_Ama...mazingGrace.WMV.

That is just plain cool! Thanks duesces, nice work. Cant wait till its done. Reminds me of Eurofighter.

Yes, you can get rid of the radar in upper corner... go to C:Program FilesStrategy FirstStrike FightersFlight In the HUDData.ini file under the "display004" heading, edit the two lines for hieght and width to show no values like this... [Display004] DisplayType=RADAR PosX=0.865 PosY=0.015 Width= Height= Alpha=0.60 InitTime=2.0 ...thought I would try to contribute something positive before I flew out the door... :D

whoops... :shock: *reaches up and pulls foot out of mouth*... *toothy grin*... *backs slowly out of room*... *runs like hell*... "gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps for the door..." "gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, an' ya wont see me no mo..." (old rock song by ...can you guess?)

Now if that was me behind the Falcon, with my bald head, the thrust would simply deflect and my dome would glow... :shock:

Hey Jeager! Where'd ya get the saucy little redhead? She's my kinda gal... :shock: :D Wait a minute...the thought occured to me...yes, I'm slow...you a gal jeager? Or you just got good taste?

I do feel that this is the best forum, its certainly my favorite. Everyone gets along pretty well and the focus is SF and makin it better. I didnt care for the way Buz and others were hacked on in SimHQ for commenting on the quality of the game and the status of the patch.

Yeah, its a trick landin aint it chief... Im with you, the F-4 was/is/always will look bad to the bone.

HA! Got a target on radar...selected it and watched the two brackets move down and mark the radar target. Then attempted succesfully to aquire target... fired sparrow, watched as it homed in, both in missle view and target view.... BOOM! WHAM! KABLOOIE! Instant scrap, hehehe. I love it when a BVR missile attack works... :D

Nice skins Volks! Thanks for the hosting there Ranger. I added your site to my SF Favorites. :D

Im glad you know what your doing. I couldnt figure out what it was...mystery of the month... Once its working Ill try again. You can let me know what you think of the video. Im no artist or anything so any critism will be taken fairly well... :)

HOLY MACKERAL! I hope they made it... :shock:

tried...another error msg... Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/F4Topgun.zip. RATS!

The error msg I get when trying to upload it at Biohaz is this... Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site10/fst/var/www/html/modules/Downloads/dl-adddownload.php on line 342 Maybe this isnt chinese to someone out there... :?

By the way Pasko, I have been enjoying this iteration of the MiG quite a bit. It is really a hotrod. I like the skin too. Matter of fact, it was featured in my first ever video using fraps. I just wanted to say thank you for the work, its very cool. :D

Hi Eagle, this is simply a video I did ingame Strike Fighters using FRAPS and MS Movie Maker and put to music. I added opening and closing screen bmp's I put together in paint. It shows some good shots of an F4 in air combat and displays the 3d models' animations like flaps, etc., its cockpit, and weps. It runs about 3.35 minutes and weighs zipped at around 5.3MB. If you are still interested, how might I send it to you? My email server, cox, seems to choke at the last little bit of data. Is there a way to break this file down to smaller files?

Hey MadJeff, I've been trying to upload a video and have been unable to do it. Keep getting some error message. It is 5.3MB zipped. I thought it would upload as it isnt too big. Is there a way to break the file into smaller parts if nessesary? I also tried emailing it to a freind, no bueno there either. I was hoping you or maybe someone else might host it if it is good enough. ..I like it. :D Thanks...

If ya get a in situation again that is similar, try going to weapons view and watch the missle as it flys and see what it does. Just a thought...

I have only flown a few sims, SWOTL, F22 Lightening3, A10, CFS2, Aces High, (which doesnt have AI), IL2, but my favorite with the toughest AI has got to be IL2. They make you work for your kills, you need to know at least something about aerial manuevers to get on their tails. They also tend to be persistant, like pesky little bugs buzzin aound ya spittin 20mm.

Hey Dagger, chewed copenhagen for 22 years. Quit 7 years ago, and except for a few short relapses, finally quit for good 4 years ago. Still wouldnt mind a chew. Its a bit tough when your doing something you associate with it but it can be done. Ya just grit yur teeth and do it. I also learned not to bash myself if I relapsed, it happens. I would just quit again, which of course meant going thru withdrawals again. It was that realization that helped me to finally put a kibosh to the chewin. I also started chewing non tabbacco mint chew which helped some as a placebo. You might check out this webpage...http://www.quittobacco.com/. They sell the mint chew and have some quit smoking programs. And whatever you do, DONT replace smoking with eating! Exercise instead. One last thing...asking the Good Lord for a little help never hurt either, I KNOW he walked with me thru all the ups and downs... I hope I helped. I am real glad I quit. I still find myself grinning from time to time. Feels good not to be a slave to no one or nothing.
