then wouldn't that mean you would have started seeing them at negative 4 years old? :megalol:

To all of you who have been following our progress in our forum this is an old thread but to those who may not follow us in our forum I just thought you might like these screenshots of our 2007 team.

That is not how things work in real life ;)

I'd like for us to expand upon what Goya brought up with regard to 1.02 amraam vs 1.12 amraam. I too remember the 1.02 days where the 120 was MUCH deadlier. Often in the 169th server, noobish guys would fly the F15 and guys with more experience would jump in the Flankers and Fulcrums. We're talking back in 2004 here, I distinctly remember that if Red Air outnumbered Blue air 3-2 then it was close to an even match, the F-15's radar didn't suffer the TWS issue of not maintaining eleveation on the primary target, and the 120 was pretty good - F-15's were certainly the tits in BVR. Aim120 in 1.02 certainly wasn't like the real deal, but it's just been castrated in Flamming Cliffs! Personally I'd like the missile equation returned to the 1.02 days...it wasn't perfectly realistic but it was certainly more real than the 10% PK amraam we're seeing even in the Red Flags. D-Sythe and GG, I'm not a missile expert nor an expert on the game coding/what was changed but you guys seem to know what you're talking about. What do you guys make of what was changed in the 1.02-FC upgrade, and how did the missiles back then compare with what we've got now and with RL? What do you guys think ED could do to fix this, and how much work would be required? If we could come up with an in-community solution that we all backed then perhaps it could gain some momentum in the future... It's a bug bear for all of us.

Starforce has nothing to do with fixing elements of Lock On. All good things come to those who wait.

Really. Do you think every missile that doesn't hit is because of chaff? And remember some missiles DO hit even in the area of chaff. I wouldn't prefer to go back to 1.02 overall, but it was better gameplay. (Please don't start with the game v sim thing. I know where you stand.) It used to be that if you got yourself in position for a very high PK launch, you could count on it hitting. Now it's a crapshoot. The frustrations that go along with that crapshoot are making it less entertaining to fly. I can't help but think that that is a factor in LOMAC being less popular now than before 1.1.

seriously viper, do you always have to act so arrogant against others? A simple thread showing off some virtual blue angels shots was derailed by you. Its no wonder you have a 70% warn.

:D

Try again! :smilewink:

Not going to comment on the shots, nor perfect positioning or not contrary to some others - but rather what lies behind each pass. I applaud the teamwork and hard work to fly these maneuvers and entire BA demo. I know how much work that takes and it deserves the most recognition and respect. Shots look great, but the story and dedication behind the shots are far better! ~S!

Respect! Very nice pics!

What, do you work for Raytheon??? C'mon - missles are becoming better (a bit faster, more manuevarable and less suseptable to counter measures) but even now it's still far from a garaunteed kill even when launched in "no escape" parameters in RL.

I think I'm in love. :worthy: Should we start talking about realistic G while we're at it? :mad: ________ weed vaporizer

k guys i got it fixed... i had lockon not set to full screen :P

Wrong. Real missiles can be and have been evaded. But they're not pitifully impotent like LOMAC's missiles. General knowledge and understanding of their behavior is required, as well as some data. How is this realistic, again? I'm sorry, but if you want to evade hundreds of missiles that have been shot in good parameters, play something that isn't a 'Modern Air Combat' simulator? :) Actually it means a lot in the big picture. Fixing those closes loopholes, forcing more realistic tactics to be used as missiles become deadlier. Okay. So you stick with this version of the game, and I'll keep on pushing for it to become more and more realistic. Have your fun. It's not my idea of fun when it comes to air combat simulation.

Even real missiles can be evaded but there's just a lot of loop holes in Lockon right now. And if things were more realistic and players ended up getting shot down more often then they'd adapt and start using more realistic evasion techniques. IMO it would make the sim much more fun than it is now and I don't think kill ratios would alter much either but tactics would definitely need to change all round.

Strangely mine has dissapeared as well....hmmmm....actually sitesled kicked me off for exceeding their file limit...lol.

I confirm, even with AA enable in driver, it does not appear to be on in game. Correction. Using ATI Tray tools game profile, it does not work. With it turned on in CCC and with ATI tray tools NOT loaded, it works.

I have X1950XTX and remember with Catalyst 7.4 I could not get FSAA or AA to work even if I enabled them in CCC. It was working fine with 7.3 then again working fine with 7.5 and now with 7.6 it's working just fine again... in fact on my machine I find these latest 7.6 to be best drivers so far as LockOn playes very smooth now... Try uninstalling them... run DriverCleanerPro to delete all ATI driver entries.. then reinstall 7.6 again and see if that fixes it. Oh and by the way... did you try running 1 monitor only and see if it works then? Also could it be ATI TrayTools conflicting (of you use it)? I see also games like ArmA require you to leave FSAA and AA to application controled and set them up within game... LockOn works other way around (need to set it up in graphics drivers).

Hi I suppose we are all guessing here about what temperature is 'safe' and what software gives the most accurate readings. I don't have much to add to this discussion, but I'm sure you will find some of it useful. First of all, I use Intel's own Thermal Analysis Tool (TAT) to read temperatures. http://www.overclock.net/downloads/138139-intel-tat.html I hate noise and my whole PC case has just one 120mm fan, directed at a rather large copper CPU heatsink. My temperature readings are as follows: - 60 degrees celsius idling - 77 degrees celsius under load At some point I was playing with a briskly overclocked setting and noticed the computer slowing down considerably. TAT showed temperature as ">85 celsius" and the protection mechanism in the CPU had undeclocked it to 1000MHz. What have I learned from all this: 1. The most important determinant of temps is ambient room temperature - my computer is stuck in a closet 2. The second most important thing is your cooling solution 3. Polishing, brand name thermal paste etc amount to one or two degrees as mentioned above in this thread 4. 'High' temperatures do NOT immediately kill your CPU. Mine has been under the above mentioned temperatures for a whole year and it's still ticking away just fine. CPUs don't MELT, they're made out of silicon!

I use E6600 overloclocked to 3600 mhz without problem. CPU Temperature was 40-45C at winter time, btw we've summer here so it's increased to 50-55C :doh: I've ZALMAN CNPS9700NT cpu cooler now, but I used TT Big Typhoon too. In my opinion Zalman is cooling better.

Андрей, ты как никогда прав. И это печально. :( Видать "изюм" закончился, дальше сплошная "картошка". Наверное иногда надо просто останавливаться в своем творчестве и смотреть, что же уже сделано и как. PS. Время пока можно найти и, снеся добрую часть файлов с диска, найти место под видео редактор класса Премьер, а так же и само видео - сделать "наш ответ". Можно, но есть и более приоритетные и полезные задачи, чем подобный матч-реванш.

Читает-читает, куда ж он денется)))) Придется отписаться, что б внести некоторую ясность. Никто ничего не заставляет, поэтому такие мысли не сюда, жаль что так показалось. Ну да ладно, на войне не без убитых. То Laivynas: Печально товарисч, если сюжета не увидел))) Если для вас сюжет в раскладывании по полочкам и еще титров поясняющих насовать- то это не ко мне. Не собираюсь водить человека как корову на веревке, каждый имеет право увидеть что-то свое, было бы воображение, зрителя надо уважать. А стеб стараюсь по мере возможности сохранять, вот только и тут не угадали дорогой критик, "Present" надо было отнести к нему (иностранцы оказались умнее), а не "ленточки" на Апаче, которые, кстати, снимаются с вооружения пред самым взлетом (есть реальное видео)-интересно почему? и что это за ленточки? (поинтересоваться сначала не мешало бы: из-за одной такой "ленточки" у амеров авианосец едва не затонул). Про плоскую землю и и баги рельефа, извини другой нет, у тебя что под ником написано? ты ее первый раз увидел? Так что мой "не общий" вердикт: если, ты, тем более не новичок, собирешься так "соригинальничать", научись для начала с уважением относится к труду других или поинтересуйся чего это стоит, а лучше сделай сам как считаешь нужным, тогда и будет тема для разговора. Пока, сплошной выпендреж, прости господи, расчитанный на новичков. Всем остальным большое спасибо за ВСЕ мнения, это помогает.
