Thanks all, really appreciate that.

I won't even look at them, my heart just stopped bleeding a few days ago...

Congrats on the sweet IDS but where is the F.3?

Forum is nearly dead... We are begging just for a piece of information...

О чем кампания, понимаю, что про войну :). Есть какая-нибудь тема, на которой она основана?

Can you complicate it more, please? :P

Alt + F1 when in cockpit view. Specifically, I zoomed my TrackIR in to make the HUD as big as possible, then disabled TIR, then Alt +F1. I wouldn't recommend flying like that, it's like looking through a straw, but it might be interesting if you feel like playing AceCombat with actual flight dynamics (sorta).

Hmmmm... you guys are drawing hasty conclusions. The game and gameplay didn't change, but under the hood many things have improved. Avionics are more accurate, the FM's are not bad at all (of course not in arcade mode), graphics did improve, in particular the terrain finally starts looking like a terrain. There is even some work on missile performance and ECM (the missile/rocket/bullet FM has always been very good, taking into account drag, altitude, sideslip etc. etc., but radar and ECM modelling was totally arcade. Some work has been done in this field, also AI is somewhat more intelligent). Not really something for Lockon customers, but I really find it fun to play! Dogfights with F-16A and the heaters are nice.

No F-16I nor F-15I? What a pitty... :( Thanks for info TT.

Привет Илья ))) Рад тебя видеть ...Смысл в так называемых ромбиках (читерских))))вот в чем .В реальности ни одно боевое крыло штурмовой авиации без разведки просто не поднимется в воздух (и показания на МФД тут совсем ни причем).Местоположение летчик ОБЯЗАН знать!!!!А в симуляторе реализация разведданых (без лишних заморочек )выглядит именно так (замена дымов ,лазерной подсветки ,как и равно сообщение разведки по закрытым каналам связи ))).А вот когда "реализаторы реальности "просто выключают ВСЕ и как и саму карту ...это по меньшей мере НЕ РЕАЛЬНО...а по меньшей просто глупо.

:) :drunk:

Same way they've dome it in other games: an AI crewman with its limitations and such, causing immense bitching sprees all over the forums about it being too predictable and stupid.

Can I ask why the Avenger counts as 5 points while: Osa 9A33 ln (SA-8 Low Alt SAM): 2 Osa 9A33 ld (SA-8 Low Alt SAM Reload): 1 2S6 Tunguska (Sa-19 Air Defense System): 3 Strela-1 9P31 (Sa-9 Low Alt SAM): 2 Strela-10 9A35 (SA-13 Low Alt SAM): 2 Tor 9A331: (Sa-15 Med Alt SAM): 3 ZSU-23-4 Shilka (A/A Gun): 2 ???

!!! Praise to the MODS , II !!!! PRAISE FOR THE MODS !!! PART 2 COCKPIT: For those who like to have new cockpit feelings, there are several mods out there, many of which are older and may or may not work with 1.12a... (dont have time to test now) but nevertheless beautiful : Hud font mod V2 that make letters finer, less fat. (find it at Teka's site : http://bvr.jpn.org/lockon/index_e.html Several cockpit liftlines mods for different aircraft as single mods and one pack for all AC Complete Cockpit Lines Pack. (unfortunalty, the author is missing) http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=75&orderby=dateD#cat Teka-Teka's English radio mod or English cockpit Mod (translate cyrillic to english in russian cocpits) also by Teka-T. Several mods change the gauges lighting to blue, for example this excellent Mod gy Mitch Jansen for the A-10 and F-15C : you can get it here : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=75&lid=192&title=Blue%20A-10%20and%20F-15%20Cockpit%20lights%201.02/FC#dldetails or, on the same page, another one for the Russian planes: GLOBAL MODS : Those are mods that replace many aircrafts by other nationals, change countries in the coalitions, make AI aircraft flyable, etc. Here for example, you can fly the F-18C (inside the cockpit of a SU-33...) http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=79&orderby=dateD#cat Some are aimed at a specific conflict situation (Crimean Air Wars): http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=128&lid=616&title=%20CRIMEAN%20AW%20Mod%20-%20CRIMEAN%20AIR%20WARS%20v2#dldetails some at specific nationality (Armee de l'air mod, with mirages and french aircraft flyable with new cockpit look...), etc. There is a lot of stuff in this (big , >80Mo) mod. You get all the info at this site (it is in french): http://www.ada-mod.org/adamod/forum/viewtopic.php?id=351 You can get it here : ftp://ftp2.devilpenguins.org/devilpeng/AdA-Mod/++AdAMod_V1.00++.rar Here is a look at the Mirage cockpit And get the high-res, skin pack that goes with it here: ftp://ftp2.devilpenguins.org/devilpeng/AdA-Mod/++AdAMod_HighRes_SkinPack_V1.00++.rar Those mods are not essential and the flight models always remain those of the actual flight models in the real game (F-15 of MiG-29 or Flanker, etc). There are many hundreds of other mods, all fun, but these are my favorites. One should always be careful that a mod is compatible with one's version of the game (ex.: 1.12a). Thanks to all the modders and artists who contibute to enhance our flying experience daily, thanks to Skypat for ModMan the universal installer, Thomas for our main rescources site Lockonfiles, and above all, ED and all its wonderful team for making all this possible. Edit: Glowing Amraam just suggested I include links for those mods, so here is my post edited WITH links... Thanks GA for making this a sticky, I hope it can help some new people! We cannot finish this without talking about Ironhand...I MUST say that, even though we are not talking MODS here, his training tracks are so important and fabulous that I want to mention them here : http://www.flankertraining.com/ironhand/ There are some for all your liking (and needs...) Most of Ironhand's tracks are transfered to video, so you can watch them no matter what version of Lockon you are using. or those as transfered to AVI by Teka-Teka : (he transferred all of FC's training tracks to AVIs, then, yon can save them and carry them around in your ipod or laptop, study them, even, if you can, put them on the side in another computer and fly them at the same time in realtime... Now, That's what I call training! http://bvr.jpn.org/lockon/training/FC_eng/index.html Lock On: Flaming Cliffs Trainings UPT - Undergraduate Pilot Training A-10A Thunderbolt II F-15C Eagle Su-27 Flanker B Su-25 Frogfoot Su-25T Frogfoot Fighter Weapons School - Top Gun And finally, thanks to Glowing Amraam, who, not only made the best movies with our favorite simulator (and also the upcoming one...) but more than that, seems to have given the taste to many young movie makers out there to try out for themselves! I have collected most of them on my drive but one has to look around for them. Here is an example : Speed 2 (trailer) You can watch it here : http://www.gamerztheatre.com/content/view/187/226/ or previous one Speed: get it here : http://www.virtual-jabog32.de/index.php?section=downloads&subcat=28&lang=en&page=5 In fact, here is the best collection of Lockon movies (there are 137) on one site (days of download...): this is a great site (Virtual-bomber-wing-32, german site) http://www.virtual-jabog32.de/index.php?section=downloads&subcat=28&lang=en GAs movies are located at page 3 and subsequent : http://www.virtual-jabog32.de/index.php?section=downloads&subcat=28&lang=en&page=3 One of everybody's favorite of all times is Superiour fighters made in 2004, and still great : on this page : http://www.virtual-jabog32.de/index.php?section=downloads&subcat=28&lang=en&page=7 ____________ There are so many other great ressources, sites, modders, moviemakers, file collectors, etc, that I am sure I am missing too many, forgive me in advance. This is not meant to be the most comprehensive ressource guide for Lockon but still, your suggestions are welcome, I will add them, or edit them. yours truly, JEFX p.s. (This post was again getting too long, so I will make a PART 3 for the skins only..)
