More SimV Dogfights?

[Mr. Bones]

my pc isn't that old and i have a fast broadband internet connection, allas i don't have CFS2 so it's up to you guys...

about the time, it's better to arrange the flights at Zulu time. i live at Zulu+2 at the moment  ;)

[Woodlouse2002]

The fights will be timed with GMT cause its simple that way.

Colicab, why don't you buy CFS2? Its only about

[kevib1]

Count me in gents.

CFS2 is, as you largely agree the king for online. I'm UK and Sunday evening is just perfect (for what it's worth).

Name the date and I'll be there, as a slowly moving target for all you pilots, of course.

I'll be the guy you see swimming in the Pacific every 30 seconds, I think there are sharks out there you know!

[Maccers]

We end up crashing into each other all the time, so we've developed a parhana repelent... as for the sharks... make sure you dont forget your GI side-arm
I would host CFS3, but so many people dont have the system to run it... and i definatly dont have the system to host a session.
ADSL, 1.5 Ghz, 64Mb Geforce4 and 1Gb of RAM isnt really enough, next on the list is a GeForce4 FX5600 with 256Mb RAM
I'll try and be on MSN for the next few days if i can to organise a date.

Don't worry about being shot down, I'm the king of "hitting the silk!"
If I remember right, my best ever night on the old dogfigth I got 5 kills and 29 deaths! However, I have some awsome new Spitfires to play with now!

[Woodlouse2002]

Just beware of Andrew and come in a plane capable of dodging a Spitfire MkIX.

I personally have a tigermoth, Spitfire MkI and a Bf109E as my ultra-manuverable fleet.

I know we've been thru this before Woody, but I think the Hurricane (with its' sharp turn, without bleed-off) is the best for out manoeuvring anything.
But then maybe it's just my style of flying.  ;D

[kevib1]

Guess it won't be stock only then  ;)

Best get myself to the download section and get me something other than flying boats and twin engine soarers then.

My P40 from the 'Defence of Australia' will be well out of its depth as well!!  :'(

Well, it's almost as good looking as me so it is about time I got me a Spit to burn the English countryside with

I'm getting all excited now. Set the date!!

I keep forgetting that CFS1 planes count as stock. I never had the game but I have downloaded the converted stock CFS1 planes for CFS2.

I'm fairly new to this FS thang (bought the game for myself last xmas) so I guess I'm playing catchup on most of the good stuff out there.

I'm about half way through 'Defense of Australia'. It's a wonderful compaign, I just made a horrible attempt at the two bomber intercept missions. I can bag 6 zero's but I get walloped but the bombers every time. I've generally emptied all my ammo into one and it's nothing more than smoking and spitting lead back.

I don't know how those real pilots did it against real lead that hurt and killed!

Brensec, where you from in Aus. I did a very quick 3 week trip around the main tourist route last year. Australia is a fantastic country and the best kept secret in the world.

Kevieb, you do not need to use stock aircraft in the dogfight. As far as I know (Woody will correct me) the only rules on planes are no mods and no jets.
There are some fantastic CFS2 Warbirds here at SimV. Download a few and try them out.

If I remember right, I had quite a few kills

[kevib1]

I assume then that by mods it is meant planes with 'bad' dp's etc so they can climb forever, turn on the spot and generally do unrealistic things rather then simply not stock?

As I said, fairly new to this so I guess I haven't got all the terminoligy right yet!!

I have downloaded several of the very good planes from here.
I have just got the excellent Mosquito's that went up in the last few days. My favourite plane as a kid and I wasn't disappointed. It looks amazing and sounds like heaven. This is the first plane I have seen with realistic glass, with reflection and everything. the vc looks fantstic but as the maker said it is a bugger to get of the runway. Took me 3 attempts and even then the runway was a thin line way out of the right window.

Not much use in a dogfight of course (no guns at all) but nothing will catch me. So 0 kills and 0 deaths.
I rarely break even in online ffa so for me that would be a result!!!

[BFMF]

As long as an aircraft is realistic it's usually accepted.

The 1% aircraft are a good example
