Tjatade på Justin Case igår om att han måste skaffa ny dator om han ska kunna vara med oss och leka. Det går trögt på den fronten.

Oh kolla in det här.. jag vill åka dit.. vem hänger med..

Här är ett utdrag från press releasen..

At I/ITSEC 2009, The Fighter Collection will be demonstrating a version of ââ,¬Å"The Battle
Simulatorââ,¬Â focused on the A-10C. The A-10C simulation will be demonstrated on CH
Productââ,¬â,,¢s new A-10C High Fidelity Hands On Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) system for
Military Desktop Simulation applications.

Bara ett problem kvar .. hur ska vi komma in, någon måste jobba någonstans där vi
kan bli "skickade" ifrån hehe

Ja du har ju ett par dagar på dig att klura ut ett sätt att komma intill!

Q: What will be the activation limits for Flaming Cliffs 2.0?

A: 8 activations and 10 deactivations. Note that just reinstalling the game does NOT use an activation! An activation or deactivation is only used when there is a significant hardware or OS change. Even if the user has exhausted all of their activations and deactivations, more are provided with proof of purchase. If in the unfortunate circumstance Eagle Dynamics were to go out of business, our intent would be to release a final patch to remove copy protection.

Intressant det där med att om de går omkull så släpper de en slutgiltig patch som tar bort kopieringskyddet. Likaså att man kan få nya nycklar om man kan bevisa att man äger spelet. DVS boxen.

Jag kan se framför mig hur det skulle gå om ED kursar. De skulle släppa patchen som ska ta bort kopieringsskyddet. Sen fuckar den patchen upp folks datorer beyond recognition och ED finns inte kvar för att lämna support på patchen.

Q: Will Flaming Cliffs 2.0 use the same "engine" as Black Shark?
A: It would be more accurate to say that both Flaming Cliffs 2.0 and Black Shark use the same generation of The Fighter Collection Simulation Engine (TFCSE). This was done not only to improve the Flaming Cliffs series in many key areas, but to also allow multi-player compatibility between the two brand series. Given this, they share many things in common, including:
ââ,¬Â¢ Map and airbases
ââ,¬Â¢ Multiplayer and network code (sorry, no dedicated server yet)
ââ,¬Â¢ Log Book
ââ,¬Â¢ Encyclopedia
ââ,¬Â¢ AI units and AI actions
ââ,¬Â¢ Track file system
ââ,¬Â¢ Options
ââ,¬Â¢ Mission Editor
ââ,¬Â¢ Campaign Editor
ââ,¬Â¢ Modding openness
ââ,¬Â¢ World lighting and shadowing
ââ,¬Â¢ TripleHead2Go support
ââ,¬Â¢ Force feedback implementation
ââ,¬Â¢ Monitor resolution support

Q: What are the system specifications for Flaming Cliffs 2.0?
A: The same as for Black Shark. For most users, the game will run faster than Flaming Cliffs 1.12 due to TFCSE optimizations.

Minimum system requirements: Windows XP, Vista or 7; CPU P4 2 GHz; RAM 2 GB; video card 256 MB RAM, compatible with DirectX 9; 5 GB HDD space; sound card; keyboard and mouse.

Recommended system requirements: Windows XP, Vista or 7, CPU Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD X2; RAM 3 GB; video card with 512 MB RAM (ATI Radeon HD4850+ or nVidia GF8800+), compatible with DirectX 9; 5 GB of HDD space; sound card; keyboard and mouse; and joystick.

Q: If I install the Flaming Cliffs 2.0 upgrade to an existing copy of Flaming Cliffs, will I still need the original Flaming Cliffs CD to launch it and still go through activation?
A: No, only the Flaming Cliffs 2.0 protection system would be used.

Q: Will the upcoming DCS: A-10C Warthog be online compatible with Flaming Cliffs 2.0?
A: We do not know yet as DCS: A-10C Warthog is still in development.

Q: Can I port Flaming Cliffs missions into Flaming Cliffs 2.0?
A: No, due to significant changes in the map and Mission Editor.

Q: Will a combined package of Lock On and Flaming Cliffs 2.0 be released?
A: This is possible and something that is under investigation with Ubisoft (owners of intellectual property rights of Lock On).

Q: Will it be possible to build missions in both Black Shark and Flaming Cliffs FC 2.0 and use them interchangeably?
A: For the most part yes, but some mission modification would probably be needed due to a different set of flyable aircraft.

Q: Will all Flaming Cliffs 2.0 flyable aircraft now have the Advance Flight Model (AFM) system?
A: The Su-25 and Su-25T most certainly will and will have some performance tweaks. The other aircraft will have the Standard Flight Model (SFM) but will see more realistic performance in regards to such items as climb rates, acceleration, and top speeds.

Q: What if I do not have a copy of Flaming Cliffs to upgrade to Flaming Cliffs 2.0?
A: Likely in the Spring of 2010 we will release Flaming Cliffs 2.0 of DVD. This version will be a complete Flaming Cliffs 2.0 install but will still require Lock On to be first installed. You can purchase Lock On at: http://www.kengray.co.uk/lockonbuy.htm

Q: What about including 3rd party models, textures, etc.?
A: While 3rd party developers are certainly free to add these to Flaming Cliffs 2.0 after release, they will not be integrated due to past issues attempting to use 3rd party content and legal issues.

Q: Will the released terrain tools be compatible with Flaming Cliffs 2.0?
A: Yes.

Q: Will Black Shark and Flaming Cliffs 2.0 be run from the same executable?
A: No, they are two separate programs. They only link together in regards to online compatibility.

Q: Has the AIM-120B/C performance been improved?
A: Yes in regards to range, speed, fuze ranges, and counter-counter measure effectiveness. Other missiles have also been improved. In a related manner, ECM burn-through ranges have been moved significantly out (based on aircraft type) and a 15 second ECM warm-up time has been added to address ECM blinking online.

Q: What are the payment options for Flaming Cliffs 2.0?
A: Most major credit cards will be accepted through: http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?end_po...g=en&cat_sid=0

Q: Will the Flaming Cliffs 2.0 aircraft receive the same level of detail regarding navigation systems, lights, and radios as the Ka-50 in DCS: Black Shark?
A: No, that level of detail is reserved for the DCS series. Except for when indicted in this FAQ, Flaming Cliffs 2.0 aircraft will be as they are in Flaming Cliffs.

Q: Will multi-player aerial refueling be supported in Flaming Cliffs 2.0?
A: As in Flaming Cliffs 1.12, the answer is no.

Q: Why are the Flaming Cliffs 2.0 limited 6 DOF and not full 6 DOF?
A: Unlike the Ka-50 cockpit in DCS: Black Shark, the Flaming Cliffs 2.0 cockpits are not full 3D in every aspect that allows unlimited 6 DOF movement around the cockpit. Yaw, pitch, and Z-axis are as they were in Flaming Cliffs, but X, Y, and roll are limited.

Q: Will the training tracks be updated?
A: Yes.

Q: Where will the boxed version of Flaming Cliffs 2.0 be available?
A: Outside of TFC website (http://www.kengray.co.uk/lockonbuy.htm), that has yet to be determined.

Q: If there are future Black Shark patches, will Flaming Cliffs 2.0 still be online compatible?
A: We will make every effort to retain this compatibility.

Q: What will be the activation limits for Flaming Cliffs 2.0?
A: 8 activations and 10 deactivations. Note that just reinstalling the game does NOT use an activation! An activation or deactivation is only used when there is a significant hardware or OS change. Even if the user has exhausted all of their activations and deactivations, more are provided with proof of purchase. If in the unfortunate circumstance Eagle Dynamics were to go out of business, our intent would be to release a final patch to remove copy protection.

Q: What would be the Flaming Cliffs upgrade paths be?
A: Either Lock On + Flaming Cliffs unofficial add-on (you would not have to activate) + Flaming Cliffs 2.0 upgrade or Lock On + Flaming Cliffs 2.0 DVD.

Q: Is it true that bird injection has been added?
A: Yes, but it can be set on or off with .LUA setting.
