THere's also the su-37, the s-37 forward swept flanker variant and the mig 1.44, all designed with the f-22 in mind as a rival.

I thought the Mig 1.44 project fell apart?

My friends the F-15 is porked.  I've been watching the Lock-on boards and am seeing posts like these:

sadly, im also having trouble with the radar. i made a custom mission with an il76, 2 mig 27s flyin low, and 2 su 27s flyin high. i was able to pick up the il76, but only after like the 3rd time of flyin the mission was i able to pick up the su27, and it was still only like 30 mi out....ive been also having trouble with the amraam. it seems that it has a very short range....i had a su 27 out run one from like 10 mi out, and i was supersonic with a height advantage...i feel like the russian aircraft got way more attention than the american aircraft sometimes.....other than this stuff, the game is so damn fun, im addicted!

when are you "slaves" going to understand that UBI and thier Russian allies are trying to screw American Flight Sim fans.  But here's the catch- Unlike Il2- there are many US Airforce personel who are familiar with those aircraft and on those boards already.  Radar tech's , mechanics and at least one F-16 pilot.  They are complaining already.

Time to upgrade to the ATI card(s), wait for a patch, and a sale at Wally Word, in that order.

"but only after like the 3rd time of flyin the mission was i able to pick up the su27, and it was still only like 30 mi out" -unnamed moron from post above.

I tend to dis-avow the knowledge of anyone that posts two or more usages of the word "like" in a single sentence, as in the example above.

MC I find it hard to believe you're anything other then an immature teen, or a conspiracy-theroy middle aged single adult living in the middle of the woods somewhere. Your opinion that 'they' are out to get us and screw our A/C is ridiculous and petty. Sounds like you've got a personal gripe with someone.

Oh, and about the F-15 radar - http://oldsite.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/boards/bbs/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=37;t=002200

I'm waiting to hear what Matt is gonna say bout the radar difficulty. Im sure if it proves to be inaccurate they WILL fix it.

btw, even if the american avionics were porked could you really pass up a sim that looked this good?

I got LOMAC and am having fun with it.  It works better for me right out of the box than Falcon 4 and Janes F-18 did.  Gotta love the F-15 and A-10.

"And one of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi C.205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of italian styling and german engineering .... it really was a delight to fly ... and we did tests on it and were most impressed." - Captain Eric Brown

finally got lomac working last night. had some problems after installation with the system rebooting but an update of my nvidia refs fixed that

immediately got some stick time in the f-15 and couldnt find the problem they were referring to regarding the radar. maybe cuz i had alot of time in JF-15, but then again this system isnt exactly the same. who knows.

jawdropping dogfight in a thunderstorm with an su-33. i'd get on his tail and he'd dive into the clouds. visibility was NIL. aircraft was getting beaten all over the place. the turbulence was a HUGE factor. ended up losing my SA and almost crashing, then putting her into a flat spin while desperately trying to regain alt.

im gonna go practice landings in that weather. it was insane.
