Nice video. Sorry I missed last Thurs. Couldn't be helped. I hope to join tomorrow about 7PM Central/ 8PM Eastern. I can't get home any sooner than that so I will miss the 1st hr or so. I tried the Peabody mission again and a

Yes, I think so. I mean I downloaded it and I think it's working right but I don't have much experience with it. They use mumble for voice and that's FOSS too. Do you have it working?

Yes. That was Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator II and it was the best of the series IMHO. I spent a LOT of time with that classic old sim and I still have my copy. It runs on LINUX under Wine but not without a lot of tweaking and adjusting

If this is a reference to the gameplay of LAC then I want to get my view in here. LAC has very very very good gameplay. You can't build your own character, but you can just jump into 1 of their many airplanes and then into 1 of their m

"The feeling of flight is what I really enjoy. It just feels right! And very smooth response to flight controls." Yes. This. I am planning to try joining the group this Thursday evening. It looks like the best time is from 6PM Cen

Still having a blast with LAC in the tutorial and offline missions. I fiddled around mapping my controls but after a lot of changes I just went back to the defaults. Had to get used to it but now its GREAT. Smooth flight rock solid 60FPS wi

TCA looks like a fine piece of software. I'm going to try it. But I prefer WW2 airplanes over modern ones. And I'm have a BLAST learning LAC. There is a lot of depth here. And LOTS of airplanes to try. I haven't spent much ti

They have a new version out for beta testing. It looks like they've had recent complaints about compatibility. Like people that didn't have a joystick. And some people that applied recent OS patches were having problems. The new b

I didn't know the source code for ysflight was ever published. That's great news! Is the source code for Tiny Combat Arena released too?

I haven't played Tiny Combat Arena but their video promos look very much like ysflight, which I have played a lot. I mean Tiny Combat Arena really looks very very much like ysflight. I wonder if it's a fork of the ysflight code. I

LAC is not Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, but I've flown both and I get the same kind of thrill with both. CYAC was brilliant in its day and it was my fav for 3 or 4 years. But that was a long time ago! If your old enough to imagine C

Yes. It does look surprisingly good for such a small AppImage. Digging around on their forums, I found this thread describing their struggle to thrive in spite of the old-school graphics. It includes three embedded YouTube clips that make i

Yes. Only LAC's improvement is even more because GL-117 didn't even have any network support. It was all offline. LAC is fundamentally an online, multi-player rewrite of GL-117 with vastly improved flight models and a lot more air

Yes. I played it and I liked it. It reminded me very much of Aces High "classic" or its successor, Aces High 2.

I just discovered this. IMHO the best link about LAC is this one -> https://askmisterwizard.com/2019/LinuxAirCombat/LacOnlineDoc... Pretty much everything about LAC is easy to find thru the links there.

But I certainly agree that Aces High 3 is magnificent on Micro$oft Windows.

by FlightSimGuy 3y ago
I wonder if Aces High 3 works well on LINUX thru an emulator like WINE. And I wonder if you'd need a monster computer to get a smooth frame rate through emulation like that. LAC, BTW runs very very nicely on cheap laptops and even does

...only for LINUX, of course!

LAC looks and flies a lot like Aces High 1 (from back around 2005 or so).

Me too! And Aces High 1, Aces High 2, and Aces High 3....
