So do I;)

My new Vehicle Skin Pack is now available. (as required it comes in a .zip file containing .bmpґs) :D Install manually or use Modman. Downloadmirror: Vehicle_Skin_pack_II or check http://www.lockonfiles.com Enyoy it

IMO, the previous DCS forum look was better suited, and nicer. This one sorta reminds me of Counter Strike forum :P

This is the evil side of forums! In "Janes" era you didnґt know that they were working on something new and when you least expected... Bang. New sim out. Today things are different. More complex and more forums. Since the beginning we have this forum so I guess the problem here is the forums and the "We are making a new sim. Itґs called LO:BS.". If you didnґt had this forum and if you remain it secret (and ETA too) people would not expect it and will not be on a state of anxiety. So people, go out in the sun, ride your "girlcicle" and donґt wait for DCS... Just let it come. Go do some other stuff and when you least expect it DCS will be out. And donґt pressure developers! More pressure means more time. More movies, replies, screens will require more time and pressure, less time to develop. Anyway I am waiting for this sim a long time now. As all of we are. So devs just make it without pressure and with time just make it worth it, because I really am sure that some one who was waiting for this sim already died. Yes itґs dramatic but itґs realistic to. So make it worth because I can die tomorrow and I will never put my hands on this one (pressure!). Off course I donґt think about this. I just thought it now. Best regards to all the devs I am sure you are making a terrible work. :pilotfly:Terrible in a good way! LOL

OMG from all of those picture you discovered that? Damn even I didn't notice it :D

Neverending contest (military aviation knowledge). The rules are simple. First to answers correctly posts next question :) First question: What container is in the picture, and what's it's function.

Rugg's put together a package of weathered skins for Walmis' F15. Two of them (Israeli and Low Vis) are his art and are included in the package. The rest are the original skins (that came with the model) that he has enhanced. Install using Modman, they install into CDDS files. They can be found at www.lockonfiles.com.

I was trying to expand the defined terrain arround me touching Land Day values in Config/Graphics but all i can obtain is more defined terrain but the same Pop Up effect very near again and again. The effect i want to avoid is the sudden redefinition to high level of the terrain in front of me and at both sides only when i am very near to the border ( below me is defined and several houndred meters away are at low definition. Could someone explain me how to obtain more defined terrain in front and in the sides more far away? This is more dramatic when i am flying in high terrain with mountains and deep valleys. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place for a discussion like this but here I go! As you can see from the subject I placed one S-300 site (excellent) and I had single F-117A (excellent) approaching, tasked with a pinpoint strike on a nearby factory. Russian A-50 AWACS (excellent) and flight of Su-30 (excellent) flying CAP were unaware of F-117A but S-300 launched single 5V55R missile that made a kill. This is very strange because F-117A was cca 40km (25nm) away from S-300 site. It's RCS should be very small (if any) at this distance. US pilot tried to evade incoming missile with flying a notch and a hard dive to 50m MSL but didn't use any chaff and was shot down w/o ejecting. See the pic below. Any ideas of why is this happening?! I thought that F-117 is quite invincible and the only one ever shot down was by accident (shot in the dark) or by SAM commander's experience and IQ. Of course, I talk about Allied Force Operation that happened back in '99 over the skies of former Yugoslavia. I recently read an interview with the Yugoslav SAM site commander that shot F-117, he's retired now but in that interview he said that the "way to do it" is quite simple and after few thoughts he came up with an idea that proved succesful. I don't know much about F-117A but lack of chaff/flare dispensers and ECM jamming (like featured in LO) seems quite odd. I manage to recieve Nighthawk's RCS inside 5-6 km while flying in MiG-29 and signal isn't scrambled. However signal isn't strong enough to achieve a lock. So in terms of LO F-117A seems like a sitting duck when it's facing S-300. I never managed to get F-117A fly over it's target area if it's defended by various SAM and AAA weapons. It seems too easy to shoot it down. Any thoughts?! Cheers all!

Operation: Blue Tide Blue forces successfully destroyed the Nuclear facilities before they could go on line thanks to the heroic efforts of two fine pilots, Randy "rmstone" Stone and Simon "Puff Fatty" Welter. Both sides suffered major casualties but Blue forces were able to regain and retain control of their bases and pushed further yet into formerly enemy controlled territories along the coastal area east and in the north. Their offensive was intensified by their proficient use of the captive SU-27 AC, the feared multi-role jet now in the hands of Blue Force has had a decisive effect on the battle. Red is down but not out! They have no choice now but to release their most feared arsenal of all - The Red Elite Armored division. This top secret division of armored units, and the personnel who man them, are said to be among the most devastating in the world. Plausible deniability keeps them and their exact location known only by the very highest level of the Red leadership (it is rumored that they have been dispatched to take out key military airbase targets). Limited Intel indicates that they are traveling along an undisclosed route on there way to MajKop airbase. The fierce battles leading up to this point have seen many of the finest pilots "ass in seat" from the very best squadrons including the 44th, 504th, 159th, 3SQN, S77th, JaBoG32, 169th, =RVE=, =TUAF=, SVK, =RAF= ,=4c-, 9thAf, and so many more it is impossible to mention them all. Outstanding pilots to the last man! In a last ditch effort for survival and domination, both sides are preparing for the final battle of the war. Red hopes to regain all that has been lost and Blue will try to push Red into the sea. Blue Force Objective: Destroy: All A2G threats. All A2A threats. Red Elite armored Division (Location of the Column: Unknown / limited regional Intel) Defend: Allied Air Defenses. Allied Airfields. Allied AWACS. Allied Fleet. Red Forces Objective: Destroy: All A2G threats. All A2A threats. Enemy Fleet. Defend: Allied Air Defenses. Allied Airfields. Allied AWACS. Allied Fleet.

Ooooo! cool! defiantly. :)

Vista can be an issue with lockon for sound. If he has X-fi card tell him to get the free Creative Alchemy software. This should fix. Also make sure FC is patched up to 1.12. If not X-fi then make sure latest Vista Drivers for his sound card are installed. Out

Уважаемый! Давайте расставим все точки над "i"... Данная ветка появилась после того как на сервере РАФ отключили карту. С вероятностью 80% я уверен что Вы, создавая эту тему, отталкивались именно от нашего публичного сервера. Как администратор сервера РАФ я указал причину отключения карты. До сих пор я наблюдаю разочарованных зрителей на нашем сервере. Большинство вирпилов с моими причинами согласилось. Я уточню - сервер РАФ НЕ является официальным сервером ED или DCS. Сервер РАФ НЕ представляет оффициально ЛО на просторах сети. Сервер РАФ содержится на пожертвования вирпилов входящих в РАФ и не получает ни копейки от каких либо организаций. Он так-же зарегистрирован на частное лицо и, по сути, является частной собственностью. Всё что относится к публичному серверу РАФ обсуждается(а данная тема обсуждалась) на страничке сервера, на этом форуме: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=13412&page=308 Теперь по сути топика: Создавая эту тему Вы ошиблись в названии, изначально она должна звучать так: "Я не умею ориентироваться в мире ЛО, Я не умею использовать ППМ на штурмовиках, Я не умею искать цели глазами в ЛО", далее текст "Уважаемые разработчики, запретите пожалуйста отключать хостерам карту с маркерами ибо я не умею делать того что описано в заголовке темы." Тут было много советов, КАК ориентироваться в ЛО без карты по Ф10. Все эти советы разбились о непробиваемую стену "это, типа, не реально". Я могу Вам привести десятки примеров что это реально, но Вы не внемлите, ибо видите только свое мнение, которое доказываете с пеной у рта. На просторах ГипперЛобби есть много хороших серверов с картой, я даже встречал такие, где летали F-14 с AiM-54. Я думаю, они Вас больше устроят..... А насчет "разбежались по пескам ,и не с кем было воевать" не волнуйтесь, найдется не один десяток грамотных вирпилов, знакомых и с навигацией, и как ходить по ППМ, и как читать брифинг. Сервер РАФ(без карты), из штурмов только Су-25(без ИЛС). Дальнейшую дискуссию считаю вести бесполезно. За сим откланиваюсь. С Уважением!

Like the old one better.

Ну какая разница? Есть процесс. Ему выделен кусок памяти. У процесса есть какие-то части. И эта память делится между этими частями. Тут получается одно и тоже понятие. На самом деле такое понятие как процессор - по хорошему не есть ресурс. Ресурс есть процессорное время. А это понятие уже суть делимое. Вот его и шарят. Т.о. если разные процессы шарят ресурс, то каждому из них достается не весь ресурс а только его часть.

Groove that is a F-16 aggressor probably blk 25 since it got a prat and wimpy engine on it. A CAP-9 training missile, two AMA pods, a AN/ALQ-188 and one ACMI pod.:smartass:

ALQ-167

These icons which are responsible for "add reputation", "report post" ect, are really "good readable". I know they are rather in rare use but IMO they're too small und unreadable too good.

Для такой игры подойдет вместо ремня повестка... Из ближайшего ОВК;)

Everyone has their preferences and have right to say it (but this doesn't mean it would change anything :)).

Nice....

Holy cow! I refreshed the site and BANG! What the hell? I like it :D

Ok enough....

Привет Всем! Ну вот я и вернулся - много чего было: командировки, рождение дочки и т.д. Как ни печально, а базис Полярной звезды выполняется "мировым сообществом", и это только начало. :( Теперь же по теме: Кампании, которые у меня сохранились в архиве (мои и соавтора): 1,2) Авианосцы 1,2 3) Возвращение 4) Керченский пролив 5) Локальный конфликт 6,7,8 ) Полярная звезда 1,2,3 http://ifolder.ru/5515705 За исключением О.П.З.-2,3 (как их проверю - готовые это или наработки, то выложу) Сейчас по факту появления свободного времени работаю над линией "Год крысы" - Прогнозируемая ситуация в Абхазии на конец 2008-2009 год, в случае если пиндосия будет продолжать свой текущий курс. Кампания получается в 2-х вариантах под Су-25 и Су-27. Когда окончу - не знаю, но надеюсь, что особо долго не провожусь. P.S. Как в жизни: уклонение - атака, или как предложил USSR_Nic

Помидоры, вы как? На воскресенье-то настроены :)? Соберется у вас народ? Кто не помнит, позволю себе напомнить, что в воскресенье (02.03.2008 ) в 13:00 по Москве вылет ИВС. Мы вас очень ждем :gun_smilie:! :gun_rifle::joystick: P.S. А Систр ваш на связь не выходит, не хочет проверить работоспособность жабы, так что если у Володьки, вдруг, не получится, останетесь без РП. P.P.S. Жуткий ламмерский офф-топ не в тему. Подскажите кто-нибудь, что и где поправить, чтобы выключить ЛОГи на сервере.

Как-то всё бестолково в этой ветке. Такое впечатление, что обсуждающие не только не слышат друг-друга, но и не желают этого, хотя, временами возникает у некоторых просветление и попытки прислушаться. Вобщем: "Она любит его, а он любит другого!" ))

Today i made two new rockets to replace the original ones. So here is a Smerch, and a Grad Rocket, Hope you like it!:) http://rapidshare.com/files/95182606/9M55K___9M210F.rar.html

Thanks for ur work! These skins are badly needed... tacit

nice one, I like the poland colors too.

Вот

Thanks Boberro, I pretty much used only shilkas for aa on this one, with a bunch af armour, etc. I'm going to figure it out SOMETIME, lol. Thinking of adding a few at a time and checking its frame rate. That will be slow, but about the only way to see.

Unfortunetely by crappy Lock on engine if you put many units on map game will slow down much, very much. AFAIK there is no any unit limit, except machine specifications which can limit it instead of game - simple even strongest home machine isn't too strong to hang very poor Lock on engine well with much, much units. It isn't un-normal that your FSP jump from x to x. Engine faults. Only one good solution is removing unneccessery units from map. I heard SAMs are much power-consumption units (but dunno know on 100%), putting at groups don't make difference. As like as not problem with many units will be solved in first module of DCS series. We will wait, we will see...

This is online battle?

It looks like a good mission Polecat. Well done.

Yeh that's a shame, but ED are strict on everything that is not completely correct, they are VERY FUSSY; shape, geo maths etc but you cannot do a 3d cockpit with Lock On, they are too fussy and I am glad they are. I can understand Alphasims point of view very much but Lock on isn't MSFS which is very poor on military aircrafts real aspects. One is basically just buying the shape of the airframe and a poor cockpit (may be not graphically) that bares no real resemblence to the actual aircraft in military terms!!!!!!! AFAIK, you have NO weapon modeling whatsoever in MSFS, plus no real restiriction on quality of models produced using payware channels of distribution. Look at Abacus, what a load of .....! EXTREMELY POOR. Mizzy opps I forgot the P.S. Many addons for MSFS COST THE SAME AS FLAMING CLIFFS :eek: Some of these addons are nothing but terrain art, new clouds and sh*t like that. I am sorry Alphasim because your work in MSFS is really good yet you charge less than the crap comming from Abacus ;)

Yes, we at AlphaSim Ltd are speechless too - it's amazing how people here all say what 'great work' this is when this guy has merely stolen our copyrighted payware and then passed it off as his own work ! I am amazed at you all, he even admits it in his post yet you continue to shower praise on this thief like he's clever or something ! He's not clever - he's just stealing other people's work and saying 'look at what I have done, aren't I great ?'. It does not matter that this is LockOn and not MSFS, we did not give permission to use our products and you are therefore breaking the law. Hey HUAF-074 - if you want people to love you, make your own models instead hiding behind the hard work and finance of real talent ! You do not deserve the praise of these people here, you deserve their scorn :mad: Consider youself lucky you are not at the wrong end of a lawsuit (yet). So all you have to do is delete the model and any links to it, an apology here would be nice, but I suspect you do not have the balls for that, but prove me wrong ...

yeah i said we finally have one of the Beta version :D Thank You Sim-mod Thank you

The F-117A was never designed to have chaff/flare dispensers, mainly rely on IR and radar suppression. So basically the thought was it didn't need it in the first place. I could be wrong as I too never have been near a -117A, but seems logical from the smoothness of it's exterior. As for the Yugoslavia shootdown, it was theorized that it was a combination of an SA-3 and the TAMARA radar, which was designed with anti-stealth properties, since a normal radar disgregards non-radar returns, while TAMARA turns those non-returns into a radar contact. I believe it was the Czech Republic made that, and for them to join NATO, they had to not sell them on the open market. More than likely Russia got a hold of one, or however many by whatever means. Supposedly the S-300s marketing adverts is that it can shoot down cruise missiles, so maybe it's skeptical given real world knowledge (or lack of), but that's probably why they can splash F-117s in LOMAC. And the only way to get the S-300 is to fly below 25m and get within it's 1.5km minimum range ;), or fly real high and dive on top of it.

I'd say that it doesn't have chaff/flares because it is never meant to get into contact with AA defenses (yea, I know, a guy shot it down...) and it doesn't need a jammer because it would only give away the location of the a/c. Think of the B-2, do you think it has a jammer/defensive stores? It doesn't. The airspace in which it gets deployed will be clear of AA threats.

Well, thats S-300 for ya. Those things can nail anything!
