Tribunus Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I’ve read posts here and on other forums that talk about how old the IL2 engine is and how at 10 years, it’s showing its age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 The graphics might not be much, but the setup is sweeeeeeeeet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted October 1, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 ~S~ Tribunus , Very nice indeed ! How often do you get to "have a go" in that sim machine ? ~S~ Painless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm usually at one of the Egyptian Air Bases where they have one of these simulators about once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I learnt the ramp-start procedure for the F-16 with Open-Falcon, so I'd love to give that simulator a go and see how far I could get before I turned around and had to put my hand up for help. But whilst the detail on that F-16 beside you(?) looks great, that Sphinx looks awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 If this was an IL2 game, we would have a 30 page thread on the nose of the Sphinx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyKnight Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Well that's the big difference between PC sims and stuff like that. The PC sim can show you an almost accurate starting system, but not how to deal with malfunctions that a real simulator like that can 'throw in' and force you to work around. In the PC sim, you'll just have to go and 'reset' the mission, so to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 IL2 will at least do things like jamming your flaps or knocking out your hydraulic system, forcing you to crank the gear down manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribunus Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 That is correct; the Egyptian government ordered all the pigs in the country killed. It started as a reaction to the threat of swine flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Brando Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 To an atheist like myself I find the binding of old and incorrect assumptions into the fabric of religion a cause for despair. While science can clearly show that pigs are not unclean animals despite their diet, the superstitions bound up into religious dogma means that the Jews and Muslims are unlikely to ever be free of this basic misunderstanding. As for the mistreatment of minority groups: show me a country that doesn't do this and I'll move there tomorrow! B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B come here... refugees get double the monthly allowance from government as do pensioners who paid all their life into the system. Canada's like Animal Farm...all are equal, but some are more equal than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
