Hi all! This is just an enthusiasm post! I have flown Lockon since the first day, continuously, and I must say that many of those mods out there contribute to make this sim always better and better, especially in terms of sensory realism (sounds, textures, details, skins, etc...). I have always tried all those mods and enjoyed them, as well as all of you guys, but I just wanted today to express my admiration for the latest mods out that really stand out. In the same week, after installing what I would consider the very best package of skins ever done for FC, Mizzy's fabulous 70 Mo of Fulcrum skins, I just downloaded last night the Reload terrain mod and I couldn't believe the beauty of the realism! Just a few weeks ago I was flying with a friend in a region that is quite similar as Simferopol area (flat agricultural landscape with distant hills in the haze) and I must say that with the new Reload terrain, the look is almost real! With this post, I want to thank all those people who have dedicated so much time in making this sim a fantastic experience (of course possible because of the vision of the creators of it, ED and its great team!) Here, (in case it helps anyone less familiar with these, or new to our sim) is my list of must Add-ons that changed my Lockon experience, (this is not a comprehensive list but rather a list of essentials and favorites, all tested for 1.12a and compatible with each other now): Everything listed here can be found on the best site of files for Lockon justly called lockonfiles : http://www.lockonfiles.com/ thanks to ThomasDWeiss! (I suggest that you log on into Lockonfiles (it is simple and free) before you clic on any of the following links. If you dont, you will just get the message that you are trying to access a denied page of the website.) ____________ The first and foremost must-have is the program Modman (now V. 6) made by Skypat that allows us to instal all those mods in simple click! (current version is V. 6.3.0.1 as of Jan. 21st, 2008 ) You can find it here : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=125&lid=991&ttitle=Modman_6.3.01#dldetails (Install it first and then, download all these great mods (either as .zip files or .rar files into the folder ) TERRAIN: Lockon Reload air base and ground texture mod by Rocky and Grandsurf : simply the best looking terrain for the sim ever! makes every second of flying look so real! Get it here : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=153&lid=1067&title=LO%20Reload%20Ground%20and%20Air%20Base%20Textures%20b01#dldetails Scenery mod V. 1.3 'Merzifon' by Birdy : it adds a considerable amount of details and zillions of trees to the map, removing Razdolnoye Airbase and installing a base in Turkey at Merzifon instead. Get it here : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=118&orderby=dateD#cat Many little details fixed by small but important mods by Teka-Teka : You can find all of the following on Teka-Teka's excellent Website: http://bvr.jpn.org/lockon/index_e.html Structures visibility mod V 1.1 Structure lights Mod V.2 Tree shader mod V. 2 Coastline mod Realistic moon mod as well as a couple of mods that enhance the map itself : Directional icon airfield mod Russia-georgia LO map border mod V. 2 http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=123&orderby=dateD#cat Or even a Mod that changes the color of the sky in different ways that it looks quite athmospheric by Antonion Gatti: Sky Color Mod V. 1.2 Final : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=123&orderby=dateD#cat and many more. SOUND: There are several beautiful soundpacks that replace all of Lockon (rather bad) soundscape, one of the favorite of most people is ZZZSpace's sound pack 8, but there are several others, including Archer's Soundpack and =TuAF= Squadron Soundpack. http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=109&orderby=dateD#cat My favorite is RuGG's moded soundpack that makes a mix of Archer and ZZZSpace's soundpacks. English radio Mod by Teka-Teka : if you like to fly MiGs like me and dont want to have the subtitles in your face, you are likely going to hear either your wingmen or the tower and awacs talk to you in Russian and, for my part, I dont really understand it, so this little mod changes the russian radio comms into english, very handy... (again, you will find it on his Website : http://bvr.jpn.org/lockon/index_e.html MODELS : There has not been so many new aircraft models in LO for many reasons, but definitely the most beautiful new model in recent months is Walmis new F-15 (dec0206 walmis F-15 model). get it here : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=131&lid=663&title=F-15C%20Eagle%20Model#dldetails There are also a great variety of small models addons that enhance many little aspects of the sim (new fuel tanks for several AC, new bomb models, including a very detailed and functional Snakeye bomb : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=131&orderby=dateD#cat and a few AI aircrafts (J-10 model : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=131&orderby=dateD#cat Mirage F-1 : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=131&min=20&orderby=dateD&show=20#cat (go to second page) There are also several new objects popping up these days, many of which we only will see in BS... (to be continued.... post too long) see post #8 below : http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=433113&postcount=8

Racer and myself decided it would be easier to have just one thread to track down instead of three. He will be posting updates for the F-14D Tomcat, F-18 Super Hornet F and new US Carrier all in this thread. So stay tuned for future updates. I leave you with the latest posted pic and also go to Virtual Navy Ops for more info.:thumbup: http://www.virtualnavairops.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9

I'd like to announce that I've started work on a 3d Model to replace the Admiral Kuznetsov. I figure all the land airbases have been given wonderful make-overs and the gorgeous US Navy Mod is working on the US carrier, that the Russian carrier could use a new coat of paint. I'm about a week into the project, so there isn't much to show. This is the first time I've ever modeled a ship so I'm going through much trial and error with different techniques. Currently I want to edge-loop pretty much the whole thing. Aside from making a higher poly and better looking model of the ship it is my goal to fix the guns onboard, as they don't move at all when firing at incoming aircraft or missiles. Heres a teaser render :megalol:

Here is what i do right now :D

Now when nuke-lovers are warmed up I can say what I was really going to say at the beginning. A screen flashing to white followed by dramatic debrifing will do :D Edit: OT - I remember the time of C64 F-119 Stealth Fighter. Black screen with the sign "Canopy blown. Hold on!" It was just fine :pilotfly:

Here are some videos that I made of the 2008 Quebec airshow last weekend ;) Red Arrows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HZOmgeLLSU CF-18: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTmQCMWv6mI Thunderbirds: Part 1 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPzBMdWpih0 Part 2 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQN1wrsfwDA Parked aircrafts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KHt1cWp0Q0

Having an option to do it is not a good thing. Where the is multiplay there are cheaters, and unless you want your entire formation owned by a single AIM-120N, you might reconsider nuclear weapons :D If you want to simulate a nuke detonating as part of the conditions for failing your mission, a trigger and appropriate message and sound file might as well do. For nuclear warfare simulation, there's always DEFCON.

Bandera, ment recover. Track file will always fail to play correctly after recovery. So after death/ejection exit and record new track.

It look like, that you used reconstruction, when you recorded that flight. In this case record is wrong all time. If you want to get the correctly track, you must get out from the game and saved your track every time, when you are destroyed.

:)

Уж про Як-52 я в курсе где там тормоза:)

Nuclear explosion in LO. Here our guys played with setups of LO. Result . The Fans can try. But it possible only for tank mines.

I think it wouldn't make the game any better, while wasting dev resources that could be used for improving more important aspects of the sim.

IMO nuclear weapons should be waaaay down in priority list if at all. Even below a working fan in Mi-24 cockpit :P

Группа два. Крайний ведомый.

PB08 update More great pictures, including a F/A-18 air refuelling sequence, a C-130J dispensing flares and some shots from the PB 08 open day at RAAF base Darwin: http://www.defence.gov.au/media/download/2008/Jun/index.htm BTW: The German Flag ist represented only by two guys, me and another fellow here down in Glenbrook.

You're not pressing the Trigger.

i think there should be, just i am afraid of mindless nuclear spamming. everybody will be avoiding mushrooms.

Ну это то понятно - старый армейский принцип: предложил -делай :lol: Миш, извини, но эту уже ерунда...Без карты для РП сплошной геморрой...Нафига нам эти "комсомольские заморочки" - косить траву в противогазе, а заниматься сексом - стоя и в гамаке??? :doh:

Well, I have created our first varient off the FA-18F aircraft. The FA-18F Tanker. :thumbup: This model has been placed over the IL-78M tanker AI plane. I have also lined up the basket to now hook up to our right side fuel probes on both the FA-18F and the F-14D. This plane has a 380 gal. centerline tank and 4-480 gal. tanks. This new mod works very well and looks very cool.

No luck unfortunalty,time for a re-install(which i am getting pretty good at now :D) cheers for the help and the restore file will be very handy in the future,thanks Viper ~S~

Ребята давайте не будем офтопить тему. Авианосец увас будет с 1 июля возобновлю работу над проектом.

Im not asking about Vista x64, Im asking about Xp64.

Grimes you're now officially my new favorite forum member :D:D

WOW!:thumbup: It feels good to be Dutch! Holland-France: 4 against 1 (which was an offside)!

Если отвечать, не отвлекаясь на это хамское уточнение (не понятно, зачем оно вообще было написано - что-то жмет и давит?), то достаточно самому прикинуть несколько ситуаций возможного использования пилотажной фигуры "воронка". Варианты: 1. Ка-50 и ПВО - фигня полная, собьют. Крутиться вокруг даже простой ЗУ-23 будет только маньяк. 2. Ка-50 и "танк". Тоже хорошего мало. Чем стрелять будем? НАР при скольжении пускать совсем хреново. Опять собьют. 3. Ка-50 и солдат. Да солдат просто в униформу наложит и стоять на месте никогда не будет. Тут вертолет останется целым, но смысл? Резюме: Если противник вооружен достаточно серьезно для поражения вертолета, то подставлять себя под его огонь - безумие. Если противник слабо или не вооружен, то весь этот цирк с воронками вообще не нужен. Время жизни вертолета на поле боя и так не очень велико, чтобы еще и подобными выкрутасами заниматься. Благо, симулятор от ЕД сделан добротно и расставит максимум точек над i в вопросе боевого применения противотанкового вертолета как такового. PS. А "классика" вообще воронку не выполняет и что?

Scandal!!!

Austria-Poland 1-1!!! :lol:

Happy Birthday Geier! :yay:

Happy Birthday Geier! Ваше здоровье :beer:

Happy Birthday M8 :) Now that the Formalities are over - let the Festivities continue.............:drink::yay::beer::drunk: :D

Evil Do BS will have a different way to draw dots at distance ? different way to draw far aircraft shapes .? Thank you.

Yup, and a Ukrainian static object MiG-29 has Soviet markings too!

Некогда, извиняюсь... Да и в изометрии легче судить о пропорциях. А впрочем...
