Any idea when the patch'll be released?

lol, yeah, definately do want to be a flyboy. Naval ROTC scholarship. Just might be at the controls of an F/A-18 someday. I really gotta change my sig now, haha.

The Citadel

KMA, looks like no celebration for either of us. Gotta wait till Monday, at the earliest. Damnit, that gives me like a day to check it out before I gotta pack my s**t and leave for college.

Try checking out www.mudmovers.com They have an excellent section dedicated to both sims. If I were you, I'd shelve Il-2 and focus on FB. FB is basically everything in Il-2 and more. As to the trim, I map it to a slider. Like I said above, it does take a sec or two for the trim to move all the way.

Hopefully all this maintenance is just an excuse to prepare the servers for the load the patch is going to cause. KMA, I'll buy you a beer if it really is going to be out tomorrow, chum.

<whispers> What happened?

Hey Monty, I thought some of the weapons in SF had the option of detonating after they go off for a bit, like the Sparrows?

If you have a Radeon card, just make sure you have the latest DirectX and Catalyst drivers. I updated to 'em and boom, great FPS with 4x FSAA and 4x AA. Gotta love my new Radeon 9800 PRO.

Yeah, I don't think so either. I like any of the missions involiving car chases, etc. I think you can do street racing somehwere in the game.

Snap, that extra 40% is from all sorts of stuff like doing all the vigalante, taxi and hosptial missions, doing all the nuique jumps in the game, all sorts of stuff. Try searching online for a GTAVC guide, thats what I did.

Bard, if they are seriously going to remove complex flight models, well, they're gonna lose a lot of business. I hope its not true.

Fates, just started playin Vice City (Late I know, I know). Good lord, thats addictive.

Jane's Longbow 2 and F/A-18E flight models and systems with LO-MAC and Il-2 Sturmovik: FB graphics. And as an addon, Raven Shield + Op-Flashpoint for when you have to eject or are shot down. For that matter, I want to see Raven Shield + Op-Flashpoint with a dynamic and continuous campaign system. Not pre-generated missions, but a live permanent environment.

ALright, I'll start. Look for me in the [95th] Maryland Rifles server, goin by C/Maj. NROTC.

<Crickets... Crickets> Lets get this thing goin a bit more.

Just got back yesterday from Ft. Knox, after spending 28 days at the Army Leadership Training Course. What have I missed, simulation wise?

Damn, thats totally not fair. Using my four weeks away to your advantage.... Lets see.... 10 more to go.

Can you provide a link? I can't find an 'Upgrades' section at www.il2sturmovik.com, let alone a V1.9 patch. And why a 1.9 version number, considering unpatched Il-2:FB is at V1.0?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's been a patch to Il-2:FB released? Where? When?

Yeah, I loved the USAF terrain. Thought the Vietnam terrain was the best, I aughta go back and check it out again. It is too bad that the creators of two competing sims can't collaborate and join the best parts of both. FS2x with X-Plane flight models... I wouldn't leave my house, ever.

Oh, everyone, about the Wright Brothers. Two years of AFJROTC has instilled in me a profound <brainwashing>. What was it, a 12 second flight, went 120 ft, Kitty Hawk, NC.... and for the life of me I can't remember the date. 1903, and January? The 12th? Dunno, I seem to remember lots of 12's.

Actually, MJ, I'lle probably wait a bit. I didn't snap up CFS3 and I'm very glad. That is one crap-tastic product. The MSF2x'ers have been pretty good though. Seriously though, am I the only one who gets turned off by the flight models? It really bugs me. I never fly anything but the stock Cessna and Baron because I feel everything else is just too phony. At least the Baron and 172 they can't screw up too bad. Its funny, I get immense satisfaction out of picking a couple of rural strips and doing some simple VFR navigation to and from. Don't know why, it is just an fun experience to me.

Not to mention, its free if you own Half-Life. And if not, you can find Half-Life in a bargain bin for $5.

I know, I know, this is an AA forum, but I can't believe more of you don't play DOD. It's as realistic a WWII infantry fps as they come, its cheap, it looks good, and it is incredably fun. I swear, folks, you need to check it out too. www.dayofdefeat.com
