ran 0 Posted July 26, 2003 Oh. So you mean it looks kinda fake because the cockpit is too dark? Â NO UNDER the cockpit look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DracoPaladore 0 Posted July 26, 2003 I think I might see what you mean. Ack, I'm stuck in first gear today. I think I should stop sleeping in so late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted July 26, 2003 they paint a shaded area under the cockpit to look like a canopy so its harder for you to tell if it's banked left or right. Look on the bottom of the plane, directly under the cockpit. It's shaded dark to simulate a canopy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warin 0 Posted July 26, 2003 I'm up for that, once the game comes out and I see whther I truly suck at it or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DracoPaladore 0 Posted July 26, 2003 k there seems to be enuf ofp players in love with lomac! how about we make our squadron? The Blues Crew I dunno. We gotta decide on a neato-torpedo name, however. I've always noticed that air squads have their neat squadron names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tovarish 0 Posted July 26, 2003 I keep being pleasantly surprized by the detail...The CF-18 even has it's unique spot light modeled on the side of the nose nose! (which American F-18's don't have). Look right below the cockpit: Quote[/b] ]Identification Spotlight and Gun Mechanism Accesss Panel This powerful light is used to identify other Aircraft at night. Vulcan 20 mm ammunition is loaded through this panel. CF-18 Virtual Walkaround Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DracoPaladore 0 Posted July 26, 2003 A spotlight? Isn't that sort of...revealing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tovarish 0 Posted July 26, 2003 A spotlight? Isn't that sort of...revealing? LOL Once you're that close, I don't think you have much chance at sneaking up on your target (unless you turn your radar off). I think it's meant mostly to use on ships or to annoy Russian bomber crews back when they used to routinely check our air defenses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DracoPaladore 0 Posted July 26, 2003 I think it's meant mostly to use on ships or to annoy Russian bomber crews back when they used to routinely check our air defenses. Annoying the Russians and their bombers. Yeah, we did that often during the cold war. In fact, my parents used to be at one of the Radar bases and jets often went up and down to wave hello to the Russian bombers when they crossed the border. Wave hello, send the Ruskie's packin, then land. Lather, Rinse and Repeat the whole process. Russians were quite brave, if not smart, with doing that.

Tovarish 0 Posted July 27, 2003 Wave hello, send the Ruskie's packin, then land. Lather, Rinse and Repeat the whole process.Russians were quite brave, if not smart, with doing that. Why's that? It was pretty much practice for both sides, Russian bombers would head to the borders of US and Canadian airspace and would time how long it took for fighters to intercept them, and over the skies near the USSR the same thing happened with US bombers and Russian fighters. I saw a Tu-95 flying low over Cuba once, probably had just finished one of those missions and decided to land there for some reason...thing was frigging loud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ale2999 0 Posted July 27, 2003 we could call ourselve the flying Bees (in omage to bis). I am totally serious for this, as it will be tons of fun in multiplayer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No? The flying bee's is ok, but it isn't really at all impressive. I would prefer something like the Hornets or Horny Hornets or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iNeo 0 Posted July 27, 2003 Gotta have resemblance to BIS/OFP, more than "bees". Why not OFP-Vets or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tovarish 0 Posted July 27, 2003 I was actually thinking of flying under these colours again: But if a bunch of you guys want to organize something count me in *edit* Operation Flash Pilots? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant wait to fly that su-33, and mig-29 :-) cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DracoPaladore 0 Posted July 27, 2003 Are they planning to allow custom skins? It's a must have for clans and squadrons. Hell, I would even take the time to make my own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DracoPaladore 0 Posted July 27, 2003 I don't play many sims. I like them, but I rarely see them. I just hope I don't miss this one I already have ideas for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadsoldier 0 Posted July 27, 2003 i just wish that they can make the campain dynamic, just like the Falcon 4.0 one. that was an amazing game. yes they have made it so you can change the skin, and i think thety made it able to downlaod the skin in mp i think. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted July 27, 2003 I just hope LOMAC has some kind of lobby or webpage where you can see a list of all the MP servers running, just for ease in connecting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hellfish6 7 Posted July 27, 2003 Semi off-topic, but this is about a flight sim and doesn't warrant it's own thread... Anyone play Strike Fighters Project 1? I'm a bit interested in that, it looks nice and has a mercenary campaign, but I heard that the post-Walmart release was still buggy and not quite playable. Is it patched and playable yet?
