MAN!!

Lock-on : Modern Air Combat

will look and run awesomely on your expensive PC!!

warning : its almost as difficult to fly as a real plane, not quite as hard as flanker 2.5 though

[AlCaTrAzz]

i'm a hardcore space combat sim flyer... never really given other flyers a chance... might have to change that

[U11Dezza]

thx james,

I'll pick it up when I'm in eb next

I'm a fan of space combat too.. the I cant say there's any 'sims' I play freespace2, x2 and freelancer when I'm up for some non serious fun

[AlCaTrAzz]

afaik, freelancer wasn't a space combat sim... it was a pathetic attempt at a RPG... soz...

i'm talking about Tie Fighter, XvsT, XWA, freespace 2, x-com etc...

i was a fanatical XvsT player in my day... can own any1 at that game...

playing through Tie Fighter on hard atm... always good fun

[General Fuct]

I'm a simmer ^_^ as you already know

[-=CAMPIN CARTER=-]

Ill kick your ass's at IL2

[RavenKittie]

Does anyone remember that game on Sega Mega Drive? It was some sort of flight Sim, and it fkn owned. I still have it somewhere. I just wondered if they had turned it into a PC game yet :S

Oh wellllll :D

[James]

yep, trackir products have a great reputation in the simmer market.

and guys, can we keep this on topic with actual sims...

i know games like that on mega drive were fun, but lets just stick on topic yeah?

there were actual decent sims on mega drive, F117-A stealth fighter, and LHX attack chopper to name a couple.

[jimmythekidd]

i've been playing cfs3 lately, its funish

i think i need one thats a tiny bit more less realistic to keep me more interested.
and wtf are all the aircraft cariers? all i wanna do is try land on an aircraft carrier!

i'm too leet to dogfight, i like landing on stupid stuff/flying under bridges n that

wierd, you turn your head but you still have to look at the screen?
hmmmm
not make sence

[James]

you don't "turn " it, per se, slight head movements can make it look.

after it's calibrated to however you want it set up, you can just tilt your head and your view will look up.

it's very good for SA (situational awareness) and for those russian pilots who use SHLEM targetting in the modern flanker - C and D variants, also the mig29A and S.

course, BVR with EOS is better for long range, which i tell general fuct but he still loves his helmet mounted hud :P

[PHOENIX_12]
