If you have time to download 278mb and enjoy WW2 FPS shooters and you clearly enjoy Top Gun - Enjoy!

Speaking of modern day Fast Jet sims, anyone here play Lock-On ?

I play it from time to time and it’s a completely different style of combat.

The online community is very small, and it doesn’t have the scope of Aces High 2. But boy does it get your heart going when your buzzing the deck trying to evade missiles.

Heres a few screens of me flying.



Yeah, that's me with my whole nose cone blown off.

Am completely uninterested in jets. Would not spend any time in any non-WWII arenas or in jet rides.

I have Lock On Flaming cliffs, Kazaa, but I rarely play it, and I think I've never been online... the matter is, there are too many commands to learn, for someone who has a real life! :D

If you had some time set aside to read the manual, I’m sure you would be able to get a few commands down.

:rofl

The matter is that it takes some time to set a good profile for the stick (X52), you have to memorize the commands.... AH already absorb a great part of my free time, another big part went to IL2 (not playing it anymore, too) and I have few left for Lock On.... and maybe I'll have to cut AH, too, in the near future, for a  big while.... RL needs more attention. :)

What about WWI?  Spads, Camels, Fokkers, Albatrosses, Nieports, SE5A's, Pfalz's, Bertha's, Ballons,  . . .

Anybody notice the biggest problem here?  It would be a mass of US aircraft shooting at US aircraft with the rare Russian aircraft thrown in.

In otherwords, practicaly no variety.

You'd find me either in the Korean War arena flying an A-26

or

You'd find me in the Vietnam War arena flying an A-26.
(or maybe an 0-2 with rockets :) )

Korea, the F-86 or one of the Navy Jets.

Viet Nam, the F-105 or A-4 Skyhawk, or A-6 Intruder

Modern, the A-10 Thunderbolt

Well, variety doesn't necessarly mean that aircrafts have to come from many nations... and don't forget that (large brush, here), after WWII, the mainstream of military airplanes was built in US and USSR, with UK and France being the only 2 other nations to build successful military aircrafts. So, I don't think the problem is that big or that far from historical reality... ;)
