Currently weighing in at 90Mb - needs one final test to make sure all files are included, and then it's ready for upload. As well as the units you see here, there's the Su25UTG, new skins, the Merzifon mod, a host of other minor tweaks (quite a lot to Turkey's order of battle), new menus, new training, and this mod/order of battle is acting as the basis for Black Sea Ops: Anatolian Hawk. Anatolian Hawk is a conflict between Russia and Turkey, set in the Black Sea. Flying the Su33 off the Kuznetsov battle group, somewhere above twenty missions. The training tracks aren't voiced (much to my own disappointment) due to technical problems but I hope to have that done by the next version, proper BSO menus should be ready by the time the campaign is, Glowing_Amraam is helping with cutscenes . . . . . OK, you get the idea by now ;) There's more to come, in other words. ;) Re the new version of v1.12 - this is going out as soon as I can verify it's working and get it uploaded . . . . damn the torpedoes! As long as the tracks play back properly with v1.12a it still should be compatible, if not then I'll ask to pull the download while I re-record them.

Song lyrics I've translated lyrics as best as I could. At least it'll give a sense of what the song's about. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Don’t pull the brakes on our plane The sky captain won’t rescue you, He won’t even leave the ships, We will drown, die in a shallow sea. And then silence will come, like in heaven, like in the water. So, don't be anxious about you or me. God is not an angel, he left you the shadows, And forgot the day that he created. Your lips, Are for prayers, In place of wounds, After the battle. Don’t pull the brakes on our plane. Don’t pull the brakes on our plane, Enemies will never get my wings, We are the only people alive on Earth, And we are terrified of heights. Love, love for all who could ever love. Don’t pull brakes, it is too early to get off! ...Spring will come and come again, alone, Killing, with a drop of nicotine. And then silence will come, like in heaven, like in the water. So, don't be anxious about you or me. God is not an angel, he left you the shadows, And forgot the day that he created. Your lips, Are for prayers, In place of wounds, After the battle. Don’t pull the brakes on our plane.

Отдельное спасибо тестерам и моделистам....

Lol, "Shot itself" :p :p :p I know this was due to a malfunctioning aim-7 launch rack, but still, it's funny that it shot itself down. Guess the crew got a kill on their record for that one.

Hey Folks, Been meaning to write this post for a long time now and I guess I am finally doing it so here it goes. As an USAF Avionics guy I have had the pleasure of working with some great and not so great equipment. Working with this equipment and then seeing alot of it in lockon with it in action has really frustrated me especially as of late regarding the F-15's radar capabilites. First off, I know its a game and the developers tried to represent its capablilites but they certainly didnt hit close to the mark in my opinion. Dont know the exact reasons but regardless at this point I am just thankful that the F-15 radar is kick butt in RL rather than what LOMAC makes it instead of visa versa. My suggestion to LOMAC is if they wish to make the Eagles radar less accurate than in RL then just say so, that way it makes sense to those who actually work on it and really know its true capabilities. If they want to gain any true sense of realism then they need to take heed of a few things...obviously the following is off official pubs since I cannot dispose of any sensitive info. 1. Even if you are tracking HOJ you still can determine if its a friend of foe. Heck, regardless of HOJ period, you lock up a friendly and your HUD should show an X over the target box....thats what IFF is for, and the newer APG-63 does it on its own regardless of the IFF transponder these days. From public resources http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/f-15.htm and http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/f-15-design.htm "The F-15's versatile pulse-Doppler radar system can look up at high-flying targets and down at low-flying targets without being confused by ground clutter. It can detect and track aircraft and small high-speed targets at distances beyond visual range down to close range, and at altitudes down to tree-top level. The radar feeds target information into the central computer for effective weapons delivery. For close-in dog fights, the radar automatically acquires enemy aircraft, and this information is projected on the head-up display." 2. The 20 mile disappearing act! Thats right, funny how 90% of the time when Im tracking a guy around 15-20 miles my contact usually go off my scope for no apparent reason, I then scan like crazy and ironically find them most of the time visually in sight right around my nose. Especially when you pretty much go boresight on the guy cause he is so close in and yet your radar still didnt pick him up before that. Seconds in a dogfight count so much that these problems continue to get me and others killed due to us looking out the window for a visual. More quotes and remember, this is the older version, the newer radars AN/APG-63(v1/v2) are even a heck of alot better "The AN/APG-63 radar is a highly flexible, all-weather multimode radar. The APG-63 radar combines long range acquisition and attack capabilities with automatic features to provide the instant information and computations needed during air-to-air and air-to-surface combat. The APG-63 has been operational since 1973. In 1979, it was the first airborne radar to incorporate a software programmable signal processor. The PSP allows the system to quickly respond to new tactics or accommodate improved modes and weapons through software reprogramming rather than by extensive hardware retrofit. The APG-63 is no longer in production but remains in service. Almost 1,000 APG-63s had been delivered when production ended in 1986. About 700 are still operational in F-15As, Bs, and early model Cs and Ds operated by the U.S. Air Force and the air forces of Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia." My two cents. Will I still fly LOMAC, absolutely! Its still the best online flight sim out there in my opinion but it cant hurt for a few improvements! Regardless, hats off to ED...thanks for stickin with LOMAC!
