Weapon for FSX

Remember,how Dresden was completely destroyed in WW2 and such things are
absolutely not funny.Cannot understand how anybody could have fun with such things.
Therefore are the Combat Sims,but not FSX or FS9.
My 2cents.
Michael

I understand what you're trying to say, and Dresden can be a touchy subject for someone from Germany, but I think you might have stretched it a little too far. I'm interested in having an AI B-17 for the same reason I'm interested in having any other addon, and having some fake cyber bombs to go along with it doesn't make me a heartless sadist. I do have a very large FSX 8th Air Force bomber formation that I run every so often, and it goes from Basingbourne to St. Nazaire and back. St. Nazaire was a very large U-Boat base, and that's what I go for in the simulation. I have my B-17 modified to drop a few bombs, and I just like to see if I can hit the target. I have guns that I target shoot with in real life, and again, I just like to hit the target.
 
Flying our Spit MkV against Mathais 190 would be interesting, it was the spit V killer afterall hehe

Bring on the goods, Lewis!
I'm dying for a good Mk V v. A-2 comparison ever since.
For the time being I'm downing Fork Tail Devils. Kevin, accept my appologies. :)

Mathias did you shoot him down with guns or a missile?

Has any one tried adding this to a boat or any other drivable?

Ground to Air from a boat. Cool!

If you can. The sandbox will be wide open.

And FSX will be a combat sim for the one's that want that.

now microsoft can make msfligt i will rest with fsx...fantastic notice, imagine what can do people with cfs experience now

With guns. I should explain a little though about those screenshots:
In my excitement I did a very quick and dirty recording with FS Recorder and just forgot to start the second engine on the P-38, so the dead engine is not a result of battle damage.
The explosion comes from the P-38 but at the moment the second screenshot was taken it was allready some feet aft of the plane somewhere in midair so it's not from the engine either, even though it may look so in the shot.
I didn't keep FSX open long enough to watch him going down.
 
Is anyone having trouble with the sound of the gun's staying on after the trigger is released?

The following attack on unguided rockets F9F. Of course, then there are explosions (just a pity that not long smoke rises).

Can they point out a WW2 combat simulation that uses the current state of the art?

IL-2 with mods still goes strong. I'm having as much fun as ever 109'ing around.

As for sandbox combat sims: Strike Fighters.

Today, you're clusterbombing the Fulda Gap and tomorrow, you're doing interceptions of the cold arctic waters while yesterday, you were saving Guadalcanal from "Kawaii!!!" attacks.

None of them include as much fidelity as I would like. There are three combat simulators with depth that satisfy my needs - Falcon and two DCS titles. While dynamic campaign would be nice addition, I prefer to operate a combat aircraft simulation than have good campaign and arcade-like planes. That's why I'd like to have a combat subsystems in FSX - I don't think anyone will make a dedicated SuperHornet combat sim soon.
 
I dont want to start/continue/inflame any conversations that may have an emotional charge here, as i can understand that both aspects of flight ( combatant/non-combatant ) are achievable in fsx, and both modes are very much wanted. The nice thing is, if you dont want to fly combat you dont have too, and if you dont want to be restricted to general aviation aircraft, you dont have to be. its a big world like an open canvas and anything is possible, without bleeding over into other peopkes back yards.. The beauty of FSX is you can decide who is and who isnt going to be in your world.. If you like GA, theres always others that also like GA, and if you like combat, theres others that also like combat.. All the negative platitudes that can be said really doent do anything other than generate a lack of understanding and builds walls between people that really have no need to exist. I encourage open mindedness and understanding amongst all peoples that inhabit our little world here, and rather than become offended that this capability or that capability has infiltrated your part of this world, simply enjoy it for what it is and relax..
O've been pretty sick for five days now, and am just getting back into things, so perhaps i'm coming off a bit weirder than usual, but i do hope you will all consider what i say, and hooefully, i will somehow have made some sense of it all..
Thanks

Agree,

I like to fly GA aircraft....that's about it. Lot's of folks like to fly tubeliners. Lot's of folks like the combat sims.

If you don't like something, don't get into it, and leave everyone else alone.

Exactly.

Anyone looked at the SDK yet to make a nice little low-yield nuke? :salute:
Ha, I kid! No seriously?
:ernae:

Actually I was beta testing some scenery this afternoon and had a real fun time just putt-putting around in the Beech Baron. No weapons, sufficient get up and go when you need it. A fun GA flying experience.
 
Yes. Iris Simulations had considered making a Nuke for their b-2 vulcan since that was its primary function in life.
 
You know what?
I realy got acccustomed to the friendly civil nature of FS as of late even though myroots are clearly located in the more hostile skies, but tell you what:

Getting up in the air with an up-armed aircraft and being able to decide about about life or death makes a big difference, if only in your imagination in the virtual skies.
This is just a part of understanding why our fathers fought for the one side or the other and I don't want to miss a bit of of it or we'll repeat hisroy over and over again.
My take: if you denie what it is to go up in a killing machine and do harm tro others you will never apprewchiate the blessings of peace and freeedom.
