Lock on: modern air combat

[Tex [USMC]]

That reminds me- I've been looking around for a copy of Flanker 2.5, but the only one I've seen is bundled with 2 games I all ready own (Silent Hunter 2 and Il2 Sturmovik).

I managed to get Flanker 2.0 (original version with printed manual) for 2 UK pounds on ebay.

Which planes do the RAF fly that are modelled in LOMAC? j/k

[Dark Knight]

yea yea very funny.. but then again they did say that they'll bring an update out where u can fly more planes including my beloved Tornado

[FSPilot]

Yeah I'm sure someone will come up with something for that. An addon definately if they start making them

I just saw the LOMAC video. Is it too much to ask to see the arrestor cables get caught with the arrestor hook? I know I'm being picky, but I've never seen this done in a simulator. Would it be too hard to just connect the wire with the hook when they touch?
Also, why isn't there any steam when you're catapulting? Do the Soviets not use a steam catapult? I dunno, but it would add to the immersion if they did.

[Dark Knight]

the russians just use a ramp to launch there fightersto get it the lift and they use the afterburner to get it moving u may notice a barrier that appears behind the plane to help push it forward

Nice *** ***What squadron?

Oh and about the "barrier" that you see on aircraft carriers ; it's purpose is to deflect hot jet exhaust up and away from the deck so that it doesn't damage any aircraft and/or equipment that could be behind the aircraft when it is taking off and not to "push it forward" as you put it ***
