Post by Spac3Rat » Sun Jul 17, 2005 4:22 pm

Because F4 netcode isn't as good ;)

Because Lomac looks better. :D

Because they have the right to choose. :P

I dunno, I always thought Silent Hunter III would have worked better for formation flying, but Lomac is good also :shock:

Actually, I was going to join a submarine formation float team a while back, but I didn't have the skills...

...I'd second what Piper said before about Lock-On too! Netcode, visuals and our choice! Pretty much in that order too...

Ok guys. Just wondering.

Give it a go at Falcon: AF if you can. WAY better netcode, WAY better visuals (I love the new clouds)

Are you on Krack?

I have played AF. It sucks, the planes look like they are going 3 MPH and the views are FUBARed. Also the key commands suck and it isn't customizable with many things. Better visuals? ummmm the clouds suck ballz. Lomac has WAY better visuals. AF doesn't have smoke either.

Have a nice day, Do you even play lomac?

I have been an avid falcon fan since falcon AT came out way back when and its netcode still needs plenty of work if it is to be even close to LOMAC. FS2004 and Falcon 4.0:AF do not compare to LOMAC on the formation flying scale....period.

I've tried Falcon: Allied Force and although it's better than its predecessors, it's no where near where we need it to be. It doesn't help that the game is still based on code almost 8 years old either. This is coming from a guy who was and still is a huge Falcon simmer. Got my first copy of Falcon (the original one) in 1987! So, once again, not to shoot down the Falcon fans here, but Lomac is far better for what we do than Falcon can ever be in its current state!
