SayethWhaaaa

Your team did their best but I only have two words for you... 5 Nil!!! I felt it important that was said

The Romanian LanceR does have R-73 and R-77 capability but I think there's a growing preference for western weapons systems for the newer EU nations hoping to remove themselves for the former Soviet spheare of influence. Which I can understand, if you've ever been forced to use those R-27s (admittedly, the R-27ER isn't too shabby). Plus I think the capabilities of the BISON and the LanceR aren't all that dissimilar except that the BISON is using israeli ECM, EW,RWR and I think it might even have a datalink for use with AWACS and Flankers. Yeah, there was NATO sortie involving Romanian LanceRs in early 2K6, can't quite remember the exact details other than they performed as aggressors and apparantly wiped the floor with the RN harriers sqn and the French Jaguar sqn involved. If I can find the info, I'll post it.

No Flankers yet I'm afraid but there are a bunch of us eagerly awaiting one! There was a Su-27 in development, and I thought I saw a Su-33 in dev a long time ago but I'm not sure if it still is.

Oooh... very nice! I love the attention to detail!

So I was playing around with my old school Aussie Navy Scooters the other night when I got jumped by some J-7s. Not realising i hadn't switched to AAMs, I hit fire anyways and something odd happened... I didn't get sequence shots at the time, only just before i killed it: I recreated the situation against another set of foes, but they turned out to be Scrapper's bloody Mig-29OVTs who promptly shot me down. I have a very bad record against them... :blush2: directly after this last shot, I was killed by the plane pictured, bastard!! :threaten: Now I wasn't using modded weapons (this being the standard GBU-12E), the only altered ones I have are AAMs. The odd thing was that in the first two photos, the bomb almost overshot the J-7, swung around and flew right up it's tailpipe. I thought maybe I should lay off the but I quit smoking a while ago...

You can merge what now?? I'm intrigued; Exactly how does this work? And just a head up for Aussie players, this series is nigh on impossible to find on the shelves. As no one seems to stock it... Had to get mine online. I'm never gonna pay my credit card off

Yeah, I got mine from the falklands mod too... the modded the hell out of it.

Check out the knowledge base in the WoV,WoE,SFG section. KNowledge base has pretty much everything you need to know about editing these games. Here's the link for the carriers specifically: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12137

That's some pretty s**thot terrain you've made there! Top stuff!

Try the Hyper Lobby servers. I was looking for any of the SFP games last night but saw something like 300+ playes in Il-2 You can get the latest version of HL here: http://hyperfighter.sk Just make sure you have Il-2 patched up to date. Good hunting!

JK, I love the corsair!

Firstly, I just wanna say that I can't stand WW1 flight sims anymore! Now, that being said, I've tried this and it rekindled that small spark in me to dig out my old copy of redbaron 3d (strangely enough I found my copy of the original RB in the process!). Now this is just my personal opinion, I just haven't been that big a fan of WW1 games. But I think that FE's biggest strength is also it's biggest weakness (or biggest weakness is biggest strength, it's a glass half full/empty thing ) in that the SFP engine is so easy to tinker with and that is going to give it a long lifespan. I mean back in the early to mid 90's as games were being release and programming skill was on par with technical progress, it was understandable for games to be released as (what we'd consider now anyway) simplistic simulators. There were no large scale online markets like today, laning wasn't all that common per se so the demand to produce a complex sim wasn't there. But today with communities wanting to have an input into their game of choice, it's important to have that flexibility in the game engine to support sub genres that companies may find too risky to venture into (or back into as the case may be). The strike fighters engine has shown its adaptability to genres that have been radically different, yet not impossible to simulate which, in my limited experience, hasn't been reproduced by another sim series (feel free to call me on that one). All you have to do is take a look at the limited appeal of SF when it was released and compare it to where it is now, three spinoffs later and a butt load of addons and the future for something like FE, even with OFF's imminent release, is pretty bright. Okay, so the A.I. is a bit twitchy, and there are bugs, nothing that can't be sorted out with the appropriate patching. And I there are people who don't want to spend time tinkering with it given that it can be a time consuming process. So what? That's the beauty of this sim. The level of detail or realism is scalable to the individual user. GENIUS! These things take time, just like the Su-35 Flanker I want for the SFP games, nevertheless, it will happen. You'll see. After the modding community has had time to sink their teeth into it, you'll have some great toys to play with! (By the way, I received no payment for this cheerleader rant by Thirdwire or any of their affiliates . After being suckered into that mess that was LOMAC, I very grateful to find this series of sims and it's associated community to quench my nerdy sim thirst )

Yeah... got myself into a bit of trouble after the second test with the barmy army singing the "2 Nil, 2 Nil..." (you know, to the old lang sine theme) song with a couple of mates at the exeter in the city. Just a note for anyone dumb enough to try this, DO NOT FORGET that they invented the post game scrap! They've got a head start on the rest of the world in that dept! Admittedly Pistons and Mavericks fans probably lead the league in post game punchups these days! It turned out for the best though, by the time we migrated down to Worldsend in the west end of the city the pale was flowing and the love was back but by the end of this week, I expect to be singing "5 nil, 5 nil..."

...or using the weapon editor, you could just copy one of the current GBU-10s and designate it the GBU-10C and it should be peachy. I had a similar problem with Iranian weapons but used this method to have iranian aircraft flying with ordinance. Fair enough, it's not 100% accurate if you're going for attention to detail, it's prolly closer to 95%

You know... I don't quite remember making that post...

You go toe to toe in that old rust bucket???

Merry super happy fun time new year to all you Combatace crew and especially all you nuggets just now getting into the SFP series!!! Hope the new year's good to you and your families!! I'm going back to the party!! :fans:

Okay banana bender, I'll give you a go! I'm having a few problems with my SFG at the mo but I'll pm you my msn details later.

It's good to be Oz, innit? Specially with peeps like Chick, foxmonter and Gramps looking out for us, eh?

SF Gold is also pretty cheap these days too. Just remember that you can port the terrains from the other games into whichever version you decide to buy. Personally SFG's my poison but I would say grab WoV so you can use the carriers. But then again, WoE now has a flyable Mig-27... Awww, this is hard...

No block 60s...?

What about the weight limits of the hardpoints? Maybe increasing their respective max load capacity will help...?

No way! And a Roulettes skin too! Outstanding!

I've been raving for a while now but I never understood what it was that some people didn't like about raves... I think I've just figured it out... http://s144.photobucket.com/albums/r187/du...atlawnmower.flv Although I still can't tell if it's because he's trying to start the lawnmower of if it's because he's a ginger... I've learned not to dance or pass behind people like that :black eye:

Jesus! I didn't know karate, but I know karazy thanks to him!
