Ditto. Looks like crap. F4 never felt like i was flying like i get in lockon and IL2 series. The falcon 4 boys call it fly by wire, I call it crap. :) Least there is another jet sim out there though.

OK, I think we established the fact that some people are really desperate for addon and whine about not being able to get it. That's normal it's human nature to be upset about things you can't get. I can perfectly well undestend that... I can also undestend people who it worked out for, and that have copy of the game that they can enjoy. Finally I can undertstend the latter bunch defending ED for their work on one of the greatest combat flight simulators ever, and slapping on "whiners". However... That doesn't make this discussion any more civil. Infact last 2-3 pages of this discussion been rather personal pissing contest (pardon my language), between couple of people belonging to two opooisite camps I've described above. Simple fact is I don't want this type of discussion on these forums. And I don't want to close this thread either, as it would reappear under different title pretty soon. Let me assure you, even thou I am not a spokesman for ED, neither do I posess detailed knowlege of their plans/actions, I do know that they are a very nice bunch of people who try their best to make this sim available for everyone. However life is a ***** and it keeps frowing challenges at them, challenges that may seem trivial to Western person, but that are very hard to overcome in enviroment of modern Russia. But I know that ED is doing their best. Most of the team are flight entusiasts, and when they fly they get the same "wonderful freedom"(sorry that description is rather bad, but my vocab limits my explanation) feeling as most of us so well know and desire... So please I urge you... People who are really upset about not being able to get FC... Try to put yourself in ED's shoes and walk around in them... Try to understend that most of ED team doesn't visit these forums as they are to busy developing 1.2... Part of the team that is responsible for solving the problems, and do visit these forums, has to deal with Russian and English versions so that are not able to unswer all questions from both forums. They do their best, but can you imagine how frustrating it is to hear someone just flaming your product, product into which you pured your blood and sweat on, for reason that you are not able to control, such as Paypal fiasco? I worked with ED since autumn. They replyed to my messages and beta-reports, when it was after 12 at night in Moscow. That proves their dedication to the product, at least for me, and I am sure it does for many other people. People who got the game and are defending ED... I can understend your feelings as well, but at this point your comments just pure petrol straight into the bonfire... It doesn't extinguish it, it only makes the matters worse... Please consider well what you are posting and what you are trying to say. think if someone else said it already, is it really worth repeating? If someone else is behaving unappropriately, is it really worth behaving like them and lovering yourself to their level? These forums started out very well... At first we had lots of users, and virtually no modding to do. We had a happy community, which was waiting for their dream to come true. It came true for some, it did partially for some others (SF+Paypal+various bugs), and it didn't for these who still don't have FC... Please have the courage to wait a bit longer. I can't say for how long, maybe a day, maybe a week, maybe a month. However, I am sure ED will not give up. They haven't yet, and they will not in forseable future, IMHO. ED might not be replying simply because they are too busy sorting this out. Or maybe they don't want to give you falce hopes after all unexpected problems they had to face. Please, just try to understend, that if these forums become less stressed, it will improve things. Nagging very rarely prompts progress, but can quite easily cause domoralisation. So may I just ask all users, no matter who they are, or what their relation to the sim is... Think about what you post. Try to be friendly to the best of your ability. And don't judge a man before you got into his shoes and walked around in them for a bit. Many thanks, and I do appoligise for rather poor english. Best Regards, BIOLOG

Здрасте. Хотелось бы обсудить сабжевый вопрос - узнать как именно происходит моделирование э/м излучения в ЛО и предложить более-менее честную модель расчёта для всей шкалы э/м излучения. У меня такая идея - расчитывать электромагнитное излучение непрерывно в пределах всей шкалы с помощью геометрической модели. Поясню свою мысль: я не знаю как это реализовано в Локо Оне сейчас, а моя идея заключается в том, чтобы моделировать источники и приёмники излучения с помощью невидимых при рендеринге, но видимых для мат. расчётов простейших геометрических фигур. Источник - мат. точка, которая распространяет в определённой геометрической конфигурации э/м излучение, например: передающая антенна излучает в виде сферы, ничего не расчитывается, кроме границ сферы - границы сферы определяются падением напряжённости поля до нуля - задаётся напряжённость поля в точке излучения и далее оно убывает пропорционально квадрату расстояния, по аналогии радар - конус и пр. Также есть приёмник - аналогично мат. точка, которая при внесении в границы геометрической фигуры передатчика начинает использоваться в расчётах уровня сигнала - по длине прямой, соединяющей точку приёмника и передатчика. Далее наобходимо в этой модели к трёхмерным геометрическим фигурам присобачить четвёртое измерение - частоту. Задать непрерывный спектр шкалы э/м излучений и соответсвенно задать форму спектра каждой передающей мат. точке, и диапазон приёма приёмникам. Соответственно белые гауссовские помехи будут растянуты на большую ширину, а бортовая радиостанция иметь линейчатые опорную частоту и ВБЧ с НБЧ. Радиоволнами дело не ограничивается! И остальной спектр пускаем в дело - тот же ИК, с несколько изменёнными принципами. К чему это всё: ну во-первых, к тому, что можно будет често считать помехи и РЭБ, работу радаров - уровень аддитивных помех вычитать из уровня сигнала, и с мультипликативными делать то, что они там с сигналом делают - для каждой конкретной значащей (то бишь с имеющимся приёмником) точки пространства. Моделировать честно работу радаров - помехи, HOJ, что угодно - да тот же эффект подавления радаром МиГ-29 радара F-15. Во-вторых - опять-же честно рассичтывать возможность радиосвязи с ведомым, базой, работа радаров, ДРЛО, ЗРК - наложения частот, отсутствие связи - после разработки модели и задачи начальных параметров оно будет считаться само. В-третьих - если сейчас работа Берёзы рассчитывается очень приблизительно (я не знаю - я предполагаю), то с введением такой модели можно будет рассчитать её работу абсолютно точно. Если есть пересечение облучающего самолёт излучения с мат. точками приёмников Берёзы, расположенных в конкретных местах самолёта. Также можно ввести дополнительные параметры сигналов - фаза, модуляция, кодирование... Не надо возражать про ФПС - я рассуждал абстрактно-теоретически, это попытка предложить универсальную модель, возможно для будущих проектов. П.С.: Сорри, если чушь написал...

Discovered the other day that the only time the waypoints are accurate is if you fly directly along the course line between the waypoints. If you are offset from your course, parallel your course or fly perpendicular to the current navpoint immediately after crossing it the readout will not change and/or only change in reference to how far you've moved parallel to the course line. The only thing working 100% is the heading cue as to where to turn to go direct to a waypoint, but unless you fly towards it exactly on your course line from point A to B, it won't give you the correct ETA and distance. Try setting up a mission with waypoints 1 and 2 five miles apart and on a 360 degree course. Then select waypoint 2 and fly a heading of 090 (perpendicular) directly away from waypoint 2 after crossing i. It will still show your distance at 0.0 or close to it until you start moving along a north/southerly heading and then it will readout your north/south displacement from that waypoint, but you could be several hindered miles off to the east or west. I'd call this a major bug, unless this was intentional (in which case I wouldn't understand why)? Can't remember if 1.02 did the same thing, but this is definitely something I'd consider a bug in 1.1!

LOL.. Moose.... it was a joke. - JJ.

I've found this method so that you get the full sound-surround while in the cockpit: 1) Get into NAV mode 2) Centre your cockpit view 3) Hit F2 for an external view - 4) Zoom in closer on the cockpit 5) Hit Ctrl-C - I've tested it with all the planes. 6) Hit F1 for the Cockpit view Step 5 will show that it is a feature and not a bug Thank you. 7) Add Rep points over on the left

Yeah, "distinguished road" is not enough distinguished for Stormin, we need something more special for him. How about: http://www.waves.utoronto.ca/~pavacic/lomac/photos/disting.jpg ? -SK

What useful purpose does this reputation feature serve? A popularity contest?

strange system - we had ruggbutt making some comment how this new F4AF would have the Falcon simhaterbois starting up, I wasn't sure what that meant so asked and I get reputation points removed? looks more to be a 'LOMAC fan clique' rating than anything useful.

I had a reputation point removed because I asked this question. WHY?

Start up again with what exactly? I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about.

Well it does show a few screens of a MiG. So I am going to assume, they have added some real flyables, vs just adding the skins and cockpits to the F16.

I am buying it only AND only if there are flyables MiG-29 or Su-27! After all, that theatar of operations is about my country! So the only way I could play that game is to fly MiG-29 and defend my country!

Солидно, четко и надежно будет только тогда, когда при попытке включить лазерный дальномер у меня не будет вырубаться "Шквал" при той раскладке, которую мне предлагают разработчики. То же самое относится и к триммерам рулей высоты и направления, когда при триммировании начинает перемещаться строб захвата.

Если сделаете на начальном этапе также, как во "В тылу врага" -- буду аплодировать стоя! :) Данные по эквивалентам разных проекций, а также бронепробиваемости различных БП имеются от первоисточников! За справками обращайтесь! :)

Let me guess: Variant 1: You've started from ramp and have not wait up to 5 minutes to get gyro system get hot. Variant 2: You've turn off and on the instruments by Shift-L key in flight.

no comment :)

Если я все правильно путаю, Vosxod предлагает в двухкнопочных комбинациях останавливать действие команды при отпускании ЛЮБОЙ из кнопок. Вообще говоря - я скорее "за", чем против, это более логично, чем начать отработку той команды, которая забита на зажатую клавишу. Ведь мы рассматриваем двух (трех) кнопочную комбинацию только из-за ограниченного числа клавиш - была бы клава на 300 клавиш и удобный механизм запоминания - вопроса бы не возникло. Фактически двухкнопочная комбинация - это просто аналог одной дополнительной кнопки (которой попросту нет). Я раньше точно так же включал автопилот вместо отключения ускоренного времени. Сейчас, конечно, приучился - но имхо Vosxod прав.

He's not seeing the targets until 2-4km. This is NOT correct, at least as far as the game goes. With a zoomed in HUD, I can start to spot specs at about 24km, At default zoom I see them easily from about 12km. This was a problem I had during 1.02 days until I swapped my video card with my wife's (identical cards) and it was then normal. Very strange indeed!! The "defective" card that I had worked perfectly, except for spotting targets. I get the exact same performance with my wife's card. The only constant that me and Russianfish can find is that our cards are both by Sapphire. This problem is not affected with driver changes or game reinstalls. So does anyone else have some help for him, short of buying a new card?

My 2 cents after reading the post by Sharkypal and how Mr. Dmut replied: If you don't want to read any complaints don't put yourself in a position where others can complain with reason; if you are unable to give a proper answer to the complains better not to say nothing at all; If you are unwilling, or unable, to give answers or feedback about a product developed by you in a forum created by you, dedicated to the product you develop then I really don't understand what is the purpose of putting a forum to start with. I surely be surprised if this post isn't closed either, considering the policy being followed.

Cosmonaut, we trying to figure it out whole day :) Going to consult admin and vBulletin site.
