But in IL2 you have no radar, no ECM, no EOC and no advanced missiles....that will all effect the CPU...and the net

My original LOMAC PC was exactly what silverliu has now. It ran the game just fine (but obviously still took FPS hits in certain situations). I think the problem may be vid card drivers and over-optimistic graphics settings. One can't expect much of the candy with that system. As far as multiplayer, LOMAC's network code needs to send and receive MUCH more information than IL2's. Plus it is not the best net code ever written. For example, I can host 2 clients in LOMAC with no problems, host 3 and pings start to grow. In IL2 I can host more than 10.

You'll forgive me, but in post #175, it wasn't clear that you were talking about 40,000 feet at all. I'm not sure why you keep repeating this, since nobody seems to disagree with it. If you mean to say that "same at 10,000" automatically proves "same at 40,000", then we disagree. I'm afraid I don't understand this. I can gain altitude, even without accelerating. (?) When I followed your suggestion to calculate the TAS of Mach 0.9 at different altitudes, I was suddenly reminded that above 30,000 feet, there is an inversion - the TAS for a given Mach begins to decrease with altitude, and then to stabilize at around 35,000 feet. I began to wonder if maybe Lock On is not modelling the aircraft incorrectly, but rather - the air above 30,000 feet? I didn't test the idea further. If you mean my "Average error" - that is not a simple function, because the angle of the climb changes from the start to the finish of the climb. At low altitude, distance vs. time is small, while at high altitude, it's much larger. But the "averaging" only looks at the total time and the total distance. They are not proportional, so they have different percentage errors. Anyway, the "average error" is not a very useful calculation. If you look at the green bars in the charts, the specific errors near 35,000 and 40,000 feet seem very similar for both time and distance, as one would expect. -SK

It plays in 1.12a.

:helpsmilie: Hello All - calling all artists - have a peep at the Vid and tell me if anyone can replicate the pygamas on this bird - AMAZING :D http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q163/Sylvester007/?action=view&current=SU-27.flv
