For those of us that like a little modern era combat support jet combat here it is boys....a true mud mover and a little A2A mixed in just for grins and trying to stay alive!

Hi,
I think these guys are flying this plane now on the LockOn / FC2 servers. The server(s) have separate rooms that can be setup to however or whatever parameters you want to include and some are password only entry. Access to the servers is included in the program as a desktop shortcut. I was told Hyperlobby is not how they do it anymore for these games. And it looks like the severs are free.
Their squad is Savage 77th; they fly 8 PM Eastern time zone, don't know what days. I found them on a Google search. He is walking me through bit by bit with Flaming Cliffs 2.
http://www.s77th.com/He told me in FC2 they flew the Su-33 exclusively. But because of the realism of the DCS series, they were switching to that instead. This guy told me the A-10 was still in Beta, but the $60 covers all new revisions and the final version without further cash outlay. I was told this 3 days ago.
I too will get into this as well as Falcon 4 and whatever the expansion add-ons are.
Extremely interesting and a challenge for this old fart to learn something new. And my new i7-920 chip PC has a game that I can use with everything turned on full blast and no discos.
It would be nice if the AI ground vehicles had real people in them.
I think the Black Shark helicopter may be similar to the USA Cobra gunship. Tactics to both is to use the terrain to hide in.
YouTube has videos.
Heck of a learning curve, though.
