F-22 lightning 3 demo there.  gonna give that a whirl

Got the demo, how are you supposed to aim the gun? Also how are you supposed to know when a missile is heading straight for you?

the gun is aimed when you fly the plane lol.

The wavey lines show how much it deviates... the crosshairs are fixed to where it would be hitting if you wernt flying through the air.

You can see missiles on the radar in the top right, if you zoom in enough, they tend to also "beep" fast when one is incoming.

if its the american gun sights, theyll probably be using the big windsock type thing.

theyre meant to be so if your in a constant turn with the opponent, it shows you how far you need to lead the plane.
when the wingtips of his plane (think its calibrated to mig 29 sized?) touch both sides of the tube then youve got the correct amount of leading and should let rip.

bigger planes might have to overlap the lines before you hit.



Just picked up lomac again and ive forgotten 90% of the controls.

still I can still aim mavericks from the safety of my x52 so i was happy

i installed falcon 4, the newer DVD box one not the original ive got, but when i couldnt remember how to fiddle with the radar to get a lock, i gave up, just havent got enough time now days....

if i had as much practice at it as a military pilot id have another go, but supreme commander has got my attention atm  


think i rememeber navy fighters, had f-14s you could pilot, f-18s for bombing missions id always moan at as they always needed bloody drop tanks to get there AND back, lol.




I honestly cant think of a single arcadey flight sim at the minute, commanche 4 was pretty good on normal for it but nothing recent comes to mind.
heck i remember playing "air attack" on wireplay as the last really arcadey  combat flying game, WW2 fighters.

Airfix dogfighter was good for a laugh, fly model WWII planes around a house and  cause havok.

Its fairly old though, not sure how it would react to a modern machine.

I loved that game

I never got into AirAttack as I used to play Air Warrior on Kesmai many years before and it was pretty much the same thing. Aces High is quite good if youre into that sort of thing and dont mind a small monthly sub, sort of the next Air Warrior.

/I just got a copy of F-22 III and its good, still cant do the guns too well though

The last flightsim I played was Gunship on the spectrum

That ruled - in fact I still own that!!

Chuck Yeagers Air Combat FTW

srsly, how do you do the guns? It took me 2,500 rounds to shoot down 3 migs and a chopper last night.

You get 2 wiggly lines, a tiny little crosshair that sometimes appears, a funny w-shaped thing and then the other crosshairs as well, but then the rounds go in a different direction to anything. And while Im thinking about all this the migs run circles around my plane. I think I need a stick thing.

Sidewinders are awesometastic tho

lol just practice sdp

Only way I can get close enough to use guns is to fly 10ft off of the floor using wingleveling, and near vmax so that any missiles coming I can just jink and swerve around them. The bastards just fire on me too soon!

Wings Over Europe isnt as good.

The cockpit is either too small in the normal view, or you lose every single bit of information when you turn off the cockpit structures, and rely on the little grey box. Its very meh..

Also ammo you dont know how much ammo you have left due to no counts being visible. So you just end up out of ammo and unable to do anything.

F22III is so much better

Ah, the days when DiD ruled flightsims... they were the days.  Then they made Wargasm.

indeed... F-22 and EF2000, did love DiD games
