Virtual Wing / Squadron
jimi08:
Many people have joined an organization refered to as the "FSX Fleet". It is losely based on the organization, training and practices of America's armed forces. Although I am not a member, I have talked to may that enjoy the organization, from 15 year olds to 50 year olds. It might be what you are looking for, or maybe not, but you should at least take a look at it and see for yourself. You can check it out at www.fsxfleet.com. Hope this helps.

We tested FSXs addons out and unfortunately they don't yet meet the requirements of an online Squadron as far as an active one that uses Air/Air and Air/Ground. Can't use it for proper traps either since you cannot have a moving carrier visible to everyone online. Aside that we do use Hornets and other aircraft in other sims although I am waiting patiently for the next Hornet sim(7G) to be developed either 7G or FighterOps. New pilots are always welcome to the Airwolves just click the link in my sig hopefully the next version of FS will be closer to the mark than what is available at the moment for FSX.

(AA Circle is a circle that surrounds the hud when you press the AA key.) Its really worth the money, and cheap for how complex it is. It could be around $60 and still worth it.

Thats still quite unrealistic and feedback so far on the FM hasn't been positive either its not Aerosofts fault I think its just limitations of FSX but the pit and 3dmodel are outstanding. For proper combat you really need something like Lockon or F4AF or F4 plus Open Falcon(or even Janes F/A-18 yes people still fly it) for online flying. IRL in the F-16 if you switch ACM mode it'll stay locked outside the HUD limits right up to the radars gimbal limits and nowdays with JHCMS and trakir in some sims you can lock outside out to 90 degrees off boresight. For a Squadron type online flying you also rack up points for kills and you want dedicated missions with a definite threat otherwise its like clubbing baby seals. ;D
BTW I think these guys probably use FSX

The only MAJOR problem with the Aerosoft F-16 is that it was intended for Single player ONLY really. Id like to see someone who can fly that thing with all if the MFD's etc on in the VC and still get 25FPS, which is the minimum comfortable framerate to have. As soon as you throw 1 more F-16 in the session, your FPS tanks.
