Actually, I think its a good posting, cause it will be good to dogfight against the Sludge Hornet and the VRS and see what the results are.  Granted the SU-27 and the Sludge Hornet dont have a "bullseye" to call shots from, but we can do visual calls (ie, "Hornet 2, fox 2 kill Flanker, left hand turn 22k.") when in a multiplayer session.

Sure how about F4AF then you can still have your SU27 if you like.

Sure, Ill have to buy and fly with those programs for a little while and get used to them, then see how I connect online, no problem.  Until then, what about a weekend FSX session?  Ill fly against ya with the Sludge and you can take the VRS.  Since I know the VRS and it has a realistic flight model along with g-limiter, any kill calls I make will have to be backed up by FRAPS video.  Specifically, the CURRENT and MAX-G that we both agree to beforehand.  If you want, we can go 7.5 for starters.  I know that the VRS can go beyond 7.5 every now and then, but Im cool with 7.5 MAX G.  Anything more on my part "invalidates" my kill calls.

My PC is quite slow with very slow frame rates in FSX even in mp its quite bad but F4AF it runs quite smooth often me and other guys from SVN do dogfights with 2 vs 4, 6, or 8 migs gunzonly and the FPS is still quite good. I'm hoping to save up for a new PC next year and maybe then my PC will run FSX better.

You ready to fight it out?  Will meet you on the multi whenever you want, you can take whatever you want and I'll take the Sludge.  I'll have FRAPS loaded up to my missile button, so I have to validate my kill calls in that manner.  What is a good max-G for you?  I'll start with 7.5 if you want?  And I have to call "guns, guns" or "fox 2 close" as my v/vector crosses your flight path?  For you, if you take the VRS, all you have to do is give me a screen shot with me "IN LAR" ("IN Launch Acceptability Region", I think), meaning if you pull the trigger, its a guns kill.  We can take off from Nellis and use the Red Flag range, using a hard deck of 10k and blocks up to 30k?  Fair?  Also, do you know military rules for being "in the blocks" (blue air, 5-9s; red air, 0-4s)?

BTW, here is a real world example of how pilot's use gun camera footage to validate kill calls.  Hence the real world meaning of "camera's on, tape's on... fight's on."


Especially watch from 1:28 to 4:50, the guy gives one of the best dogfight HUD video breakdowns that Ive seen on the YouTube or the 'Net.  Actually, this whole video series (Red October) is great.  The only time Ive seen better is when I was a ABM student debriefing the ACMI at Tyndall AFB with F-15 students and their instructors... very humbling watching ACMI results.  No arguments, only valid or in-valid kill calls.

In case you can't tell, I'm just itchin' for a dogfight, been beatin' down people left and right on the multi... hell, I haven't had someone get on my six and stay there anything more than passing, except after I called "knock-it-off" and rolled in for a landing to get gas.  Its worse than the time that kid harrassed people over Edwards with his "better than everyone else" F-16.  He had no idea how to really dogfight in it, and was just getting on people's six and calling kills, so I kindly whupped up on him, and he quit by dropping his gear and getting in a landing config.

Can you tell, I'm ready?!  Haha...  Enjoy the pic, where I forced this annoying, harrassing kid down, and he logged off.
Anyway, let me know if you're up for it?
