  1. The True Story about Mars.....

    Its traveled about 15 metres - there must be a lot to see!
  2. Basic Help

    Basic way to do that in DCS A-10 - you go to options, select A-10 sim and All to see the full list Select the column for the controller and and row for item you want to assign to. Press add to get the add pop up box - then press a button on stick
  3. Facebooks buzzing though - thats their main portal to the world now
  4. For the actual technical figures Yefim Gordons books are pretty useful. Figures by themselves arn't much use in determining actual combat performance - all the figures have to work together in a dynamic unpredictable environment. for example - Weight will vary with fuel and stores carried - which will also cause drag and slow it down. In a hot environment you also have reduced thrust (jet engines are better in the cold etc) which will reduce performance significantly. The VPAF were supplied with: MiG-21F-13 MiG-21PF(V) MiG-21PFM MiG-21MF MiG-21U/US/UM No answer really - depends on weapons used, IFF systems (used in 72), ROE, tactics used (still using fighting Wing?) experience of the MiG pilot (VPAF pilots got a lot of experience at that time - they flew for the entire conflict!), endurance. In a lot of cases the MiG-21 was used as a hit and run fighter - it would intercept a US flight (via GCI) at speed, fire its missiles, which would hit the unsuspecting flyers, then hit the deck and get back to base at speed.
  5. Yesterday, 40 years ago

    .
  6. Thought there was one built in to SF2V with others - have you looked under Single Mission -> Load Mission?
  7. Well I went to the store - and yes the best you can do is get an SF2 title for $29.99 then a few DLCs (although FE2 is a steal at $19.99) If you went for Europe you would get: Player Flyable Aircraft A-7D Corsair II A-10A Thunderbolt II F-100D Super Sabre F-105D Thunderchief F-4C/D/E/F/M Phantom II F-15A Eagle Harrier GR.1/3 Hunter FGA.9 DLCs Mirage 5BA $5.99 F-8E (FN) $3.99 So thats not too bad really (mainly if you don't have other titles with those jets) - and SF2 does have going for it that these are all revamped 3D pits and 3D models to the same standard! (pity the terrain is **** but that can be changed for free.)
  8. And then this happened

    Just got to laugh really - surprised hes not in the Expendables
  9. After successfully managing to compressor stall my left engine to the point I couldn't start it again - I had to make a 1 engined landing - which made me lose a wheel in the mud. Was unaware however that Yoda was a USAF mech and would somehow levitate my A-10 in the air repairing all the faults Tadaaaaaa - just like new - if only he could have found a way to retract the ladder as well - I might have taken off again to stress test the engines once more.

  13. Reality is most are going no where - there is nothing out there with the variety and quick fix SF2 gives you - and a lot of the add on's still work (for the time being). Had to laugh at the people moaning at FC3 - 10 years old rehash with a new F-15C model and pit (non clickable) they say - sound familiar? But all the 3D pits and different types of Jets and terrains are what SF2 has over everything else - and I can still enjoy flying them. For me the latest patches are screwed up by whatever avionics60 is doing - so have left most of my installs at Nov11 and apr12. - and they will continue to live alongside Falcon 4 BMS and DCS A-10C - but whether TW still get my support depends really - if he wants to lock away the terrain files then he'd better come up with some good terrains to replace the **** that comes with the game.
  14. The worst thing about turning 40...

    Pah - I get them - and I'm not 40 - and cant they airbrush some of those photos - yuck
  15. Caption This 3

    "hmmm - now did I actually pack the parachute?"
  16. Video etc from the BBC - MiG-23BN? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-19247164
  17. DCS CTD

    oh........well they seem to advertise it for min specs http://www.digitalco...product&lang=en is that official?
  18. DCS CTD

    Check their forums out as a starter Thats still DX9 - so could be related to the version you are using.
  19. Falcon 4: BMS 4.xx

    If you are after WVR guns only with AI this is not the sim for you - stick to SF2 The AI was deadly in Allied Force WVR and BVR but it seems BMS are more about the Multiplayer experience - WVR the AI are no problem as you state. However in BVR you can get your ass handed to you on a plate - and they are pretty good at denying your radar lock etc. For me its a lot of fun setting up TEs 4 v 4 is especially for this - because using your radar and keeping up SA is what you need to be good at - you should never be looking to merge. The AIM-120s work very well (So do the R-77/73 and AIM-9X) The FLCS has been coded to the last line of the real thing - so you wont find a better sim in this regards. The avionics are spectacular - HMCS and being able to slave TGP to radar for A-A. And the campaign is just amazing whatever way you look at it.
  20. 50 Years of James Bond

    Wonder why Ive never heard of that masterpiece!
  21. 50 Years of James Bond

    Daniel Craig - Casino Royale Roger Moore - Any with one liners - well was funny for me in the 80s Pierce Brosnan - Golden Eye Connery - Goldfinger Brosnan - License to kilt
  22. Does it run without Mods? Graphics drivers need updating? What about Direct X?
  23. NA added a ton of stuff - not just all the ships and new aircraft, but naval warfare, populated carriers, cruise missile attacking AI - but Its not supported on XP at all - and I think for XP you have to use the old terrain because its a DX10 game only. Also thats a single core PC you have only ? (must be 7 years old?)
  24. Yeah good that - looks like the forum software upgrade has fixed the clipping issue also!
