i thought who needs tutorials... i'll just guess the controls...
i'll be loading the tutorials now
it's a killer on my system... it really kills it.... any ideas how i can get it to perform better?
I love flightsims and really love lock-ons graphics but when I ever I play it thats all that happens to me

This is with mine running 8xS AA and 16x AF. Bit jumpy in places but still playable
I remember the best flight sim I ever played, and possibly still is, was Janes USAF. You could fly about half a dozen different planes and even jump between different aircraft in squadrons during a mission and multiplayer.
I remember one night I was on a bombing mission with a friend in F15's and the prat unloading some bombs on top of me while I was sat on a strafing run. Shame Janes stopped making them.

Anybody here remember EF2000? Was a cool little combat sim 
after burner i believe... i did a quick start style game, put an enemy in and started him the max distance away so i could get used to it... next thing i know i'm fiddling with throttle power and what not and i get a "Too Much G's" warning from moving the plane around too much... try to use afterburner to get out of it and...

i've got a good spec PC... not beefy, but certainly not bog standard.
3.2GHz P4e running at 3.45Ghz (has hit 3.7 before though
)6600GT (AGP) running at 550/1000 (clocked from 500/900)
1GB DDR400 GeIL Value... getting 2GB of the stuff soon (another 2x512mb)
Gigabyte GA 8IPE1000 Pro-G motherboard (s478)
Audigy 2 ZS going through some Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers
74GB Western Digital Raptor which has XP Pro installed to it, as well as music and most used games... then a 120GB Seagate Barracuda for storage and more games
(which Lock On is installed to)All in an Antec Sonata
MX510 mouse, Logitech RumblePad 2... some multimedia keyboard thing... and a host of other things that don't matter
so i'm pretty sure it should run reasonably well...
although i have just noticed that i've got everything maxed out (8xAA and 16xAF) on the graphics card in the nVidia control panel.... so that may just explain things
i guess i over-exagerated with kills... but its a much more of a performance hit than i expected when i saw the min spec
the game is totally playable but it does dip a heck of a lot in FPS during certain points

Yup, I remember that, I got a little frustrated with it though, I used to be flying a mission for one pilot, then another pilot would get a mission and I'd have to fly him, so I'd swap over and then the first one would just go into a gradual descent and crash :/FrontSideBus said:Anybody here remember EF2000?

Just to let you all know, I've gotten very bored of changing images to links for people. From now anyone who posts images over the size limit will simply get their images removed. It's not bloody hard to make your screenshots 800*600.
