The Forgotten Battles

Recommended Posts

I'f only I had some super rich realitves in America that could buy a copy of FB (Along with a very cool joystick) and have it all FedExed over here...

The closest I have is a Great Aunt in Canada (or Canadia as I call it) who I don't exactly have contact with. I need to get seriously addicted to a game until FB comes out on the 20th.

Oh well. I was given a 17" monitor yesterday (very happy to get rid of old 15") so now I will be able to see enemy planes better, and I will buy a joystick (probably a Logitech if I can find one) and so I will be all prepared to take to the skies, and get bounced from above tounge.gif

Here's my first batch of pics, expect more to follow (I'll get the I-153 cockpit shots next). All shots taken at 1024x768, 2xAA, and maxed out detail (I'm getting a decent framerate in all scenes on a GeForce 3). Enjoy:

Oi. Now I really want to be home instead of at work!

Those are damn sweet!

Tex, we should fly co-op sometime. You can be the pilot, I'll be the gunner! smile.gif

That's the best place for me till I get some serious stick time in to reactivate the old flight sim reflexes again!

Man this makes me feel like upgrading sad.gif I have a low end p3 733 and this isnt gonna run smooth. Makes me remember my own baptism of fire (dunno how to translate first flight from dutch, air baptisme sounds to village people in a way) in a heeresflieger CH-53. Nothing spells cool like the erotic slap of rottorblades.

Thanks man, you just saved my day from being completely shitty smile.gif. That gunsight looks a bit useless, but oh well, with all those MG's converged at 100m and shooting from close range it shouldn't matter, especially with the new damage model. Probably going to turn off the speedbar from now on. I think I can read the dials easy enough smile.gif

Lol unfortunately getting Forgotten Battles ASAP isn't my biggest worry sad.gif. I have to get this program working by tomorrow at 2pm, and so far it's only good for outputting 269mb text files to my student drive crazy.gif

Tex, please post some interior pics of the I-153 smile.gif.<span id='postcolor'>

There IS, but you wouldn't think so if you saw the compilers students here. I've spent two nights (litterally at least 10 hours a night) and an 8 hour day here tounge.gif. (And looks like I'm on my way to another all nighter, already been here for 7 hours today sad.gif

Oh man, that is nice... the guages...

Tovarish, thanks for the info, and compilers is like that, it's all about how you debug your code, and it takes time. Need to print out variables etc going in and out of functions. Also it's good to have a good C++ programmers "bible" as a kick ass command reference.

You sound like you would make a good moderator. wink.gif A lot of self control. Just an observation.

Life seems to be a balance of good vs bad experiences, but sometimes the bad ones bunch up and kick your ass for a while, that's all I can say.
