@A.S:
I have to wonder and ask: Why people try to simulate a plane which data is more than to 70% classified?
better than running around my living room with arms outstretched making low whooshing noises.

It seems F.L.A.R.E will never die. It’ll… flare… up in one form or another.
All we have to do is be patient, which for a flight simmer is something we’re used to.
Heads up - just a quick note for Eyefinity or Surround users running three monitors.
The cockpit side views FOV for this mod have not been updated, it’s still set to 50.0 so you won’t be able to see the side panels. You’ll have to update the FOV manually, as we used to do.
Once the mod is installed, go to */Data/Art/ckptart/ and go to all the Block 40/42’s, open the 3dckpit.dat (I use Notepad++), find viewlimit_pitch_down and set it to 75.0.
@Tom:
Well- I still trying to overwork my textures. The latest news: The textures are useable for spring, summer and fall now.
I expect that I will need some weeks. Hope this is okay so far … Cheers,
Tom
Thanks Tom.
Just a request though - if the new textures are “some weeks” away, which in flight sim time could be a while, any chance of the old texture pack being put up again? I’ll take anything over the fugly default terrain.
It’s all part of the food chain. If there was a weapon delivery platform that could do it all they’d have deployed it along time ago.
While you’re thinking “oh look a nice fat tank” zooming about up in the air, the tank commander’s thinking “Oh look, a nice fat platoon”. While the normal infantryman can only say “Oh shit… it’s a <insert vehicle=”" here=“”>"</insert>
@tyrspawn:
I will not do this. However, I do have a solution for you.
Download DownloadHelper for Firefox. It allows you to download videos directly off YouTube. You can then watch them offline.
Just as good. Thanks.
These vids are invaluable. Just one request - are you able to upload the 1080 videos somewhere so we can download them?
I’m just thinking long term here for me as who knows what may happen to youtube or your account in the future and we are talking about Falcon here so we’d probably be playing this for another good 10 -15 years or so. These vids are too well done to get lost somewhere.
WinTTr …. What is your problem ??? are you frustrated or what ? … your talking non sense … on non sense. You completely are wrong and you have pre constructed ideas about things.
Take it easy dude … really. We got your point. … Go on F-16.net and ask there if any of them plays falcon.
A Harrier Pilot dreaming like you he is in a F-16 … What is wrong with you ?
No problem. Just like to know what I read is based on fact. Topic of the thread - read it again. Where is the thread? Here. I’m responding here and I might just go to F-16.net and ask there if my work firewall will let me through it. Only post on forums at work otherwise I’d be flying at home.
I’m talking nonsense? Ok, I’ll spell it out because you missed the gist of that statement. If someone’s playing a game why would they play it? For entertainment, to live out a life that’s different to rl, to do something they wouldn’t do ordinarily in their every day. So yeah, if a pilot, be it Harrier, commerical, whatever, or your average kid is playing Falcon he’s doing it cos he likes flying the F-16. In that sense a Harrier pilot is just like one of us. Granted he’s got much, much more knowledge on the systems than we do but he’s still playing a game.
I’ll sign up and ask on F-16.net whether any F-16 pilots play BMS, FF or AF or just some console fun.
@tyrspawn:
So it’s ok for guys who have shot people who were 100 meters away from them (in real life) to play games but not for combat pilots?
He plays Falcon, a totally different aircraft to the one he currently flies. When he does, he’s just like one of us - dreaming that he’s a Viper pilot. Just like all these civil pilots playing BMS. It’s something that’s totally disconnected to what they do every day.
And just to pre-empt you, games like Arma, CoD, are still fps and not as realistic as a study sim like BMS or DCS. You have to admit that the level of concentration and commitment to play sims requires a totally different mindset than playing a fps or something lighter. Or are you saying that fps shooters are in the same league as BMS?
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of F-16 pilots bragging about their scores on Hawx - mainly because it’s mindless fun.
But for one to fly and go through the routine on a daily basis to then come home and try to recreate a ramp start, radio tower, then fly in realistic environment, I just don’t see it happening. Sure you could argue that they’d play this for combat and blowing things up but I’m pretty sure the whichever military has far more capable, complex and infinitely more fun, simulators than what we see on a 24in screen with a shop bought gpu.
@RAM22:
Yes he is, he’s set to deploy soon. He’s never said that he jumps into Falcon after a day of flying in RL but has told me he likes to fly Falcon during down times. Last we spoke he was making sure he had everything setup on correctly on his Laptop for the tour of duty. Like I said he mentioned that some of the stuff, Litening Pod, TGP, and related HUD symbology is modeled nicely as compared to it’s RL counterparts.
RAM22
Would he fly a Harrier sim in his downtime though. During down times he’s just like one of us.
