Hi, I thinked much time about these theme and I have basically two options: - Option one is to deinstall LockOn on and kick the box away - Option two is to pack all my frustration into this thread Well- Both options are bullshit but I dont want to silence my feelings even more time! At first: I think that it is okay that we can upgrade some textures, 3D models, and modify some payloads if there is a way to control all of these changes and to give all the same possibility as well. I`m very thanksfull about people who construct models, sounds and textures for free in sometimes very very good quality. But: Some modifys aren`t good! I mean speacially the fact that it is possible to read out LUA-files and show it in a seperate programm simultanly! Same as for modify vectors of missiles, angles of RADAR areas and increase or decreasing limits of gravitation of missiles and aircrafts! To change all these facts are simply cheating! What to hell is the intention of these .... ideotes to write programms to see more them all the other members?! Is it a nice victory to kill other pilots with unfair methods?! These guys are better pilots if they are able to write new programms to read out the enemy?! So for examble: I saw a Su-27 pilot shooted a ET missile without any lock about a range about 10clicks visually in a 3 a clock position from low to high. Before the missile impact- the other player quitted imediatelly. I saw these procedeure tree time in a half hour from different pilots. All of them joined the game 1 minute later again!!! I wasn`t able to lock an enemy target with my Su27 RADAR witch had a range about 20 clicks hot and level at some servers! I saw pilots wich pressed the print key a lot while a missile was on the way! I saw Flanker pilots wich intercepted a medium flying target for range about 100km! The answers allways the same: "My LockOn was frozen- sorry" (After quitting imediatelly) "Lag" "I saw you visually" (About a range of 100clicks?!) "G-Limit works here" " locked you with EOS" (frontal about 50 km?!" "I saw the missile :) " (from six a clock low?!) As for the future I won`t join any servers wich using modifications. Graphic mods should be okay- the rest is bullshit! Who is not able to use the given options by LOMAC can switch to other simulations ... Maybe. Some of some called "modifications" simply destroy LockOn and hurt the community!!! "possible badest" pilot of the world of LOMAC, TOMCATZ

По поводу ящиков на броне, все очень просто, во время боевых действий, машина на которой воюет экипаж становится практически их домом,и со временем все больше напоминает циганскую кибитку, в ней они и спят и едят ....короче делают все что можно, и возят с собою как можно больше всяких нужных вещей, (автомобильчик дядюшки Мокуса Фокуса):), так что ящики на броне это еще малая часть того что может быть.:smilewink:

Hind, Shark, Fulcrum:

Hello! I've found some interesting info about Su25 in Afghan war. There's a diary of Su25's pilot Alexandr Araslanov. Unfortunately it's all in Russian but nevetheless you can see pictures that were made by him since 1987-1988. Araslanov Alexandr Anatolyevich Graduated the Kacha's Air Force academy in 1975., took part in Afghan war since 1987 till 1988. http://kacha.ru/php/baza/face.php?id=2144 His diary is called "The year of life - the year of death". In Russian. http://artofwar.ru/a/araslanow_a_a/text_0040.shtml And now some photos. Bagram: canteen and club Bagram was taken from approach height Laser - guidance support vehicle Bombs away! Our patch is Rook! APC of gunlayers With a squadron leader Some warfare of 1st squadron Preparing for air strike The results of air strike Dropping bombs during plane's shaking (с) Aleksandr Araslanov

I don't understand what's the deal with people requesting multplayer PvP in A-10 or any helicopter or strike aircraft... they are not meant to be used to attack other strike aircraft or helicopters, they are used to attack ground units... it makes sense to have fighter aircraft released in pairs, but to me it doesn't have to be for Ka-50, Apache, A-10, Su-25 etc... you don't use them for PvP scenarios... if you are, you are not using the aircraft to it's purpose and I don't like to see online missions with Ka-50 vs Ka-50 especially when ground units are of the same time also...

Запущена кольцевая миссия. В стадии теста. на 8(12) активных игроков. Рекомендуется для красивого прохождения минимум 3 согласованные пары. Смена по результату прохождения. Расстановка - 80% войск случайным образом при каждом запуске. 2 типа запуска - сезоны - зима снег, лето -жара. Есть установки роланд + мобильне комплексы ПВО, танковый десант, сремящийся грохнуть нашу базу (место вылета), артиллерия и танки, мотопехота. Если грохнут нашу базу (проспали десант) - перезапуск на эту же миссию. Если по времени за 3 часа миссия не окончена - эта же миссия перезапускается. Если победа - смена миссии со сменой времени года. Сервер групп =1252 ОВВГ= и =ЦБП= 24Х7 (пока открыт в свободный доступ). Если есть интерес - могу развить тему, т.е. усложнить немного, ввести большее угроз уничтожения, больше вариантов подзагрузки разных карт. Бог велел делиться. Вот делюсь соображениями. Утяните миссии, так утяните. Делалось для отработки сетевых технологий. Сюда выложу может позже с большим ветвлением.

Here is the video: Here are a few pictures:

Sorry, It's not a sytem problem. Solution: For the mission ATO-B-P2.2 to many vehicles starting in the WEDGE (CONE) formation. The game crashed. When the vehicles start in the LINE abreast formation the mission runs fine. You can change this under "TYPE" in the ME and must check all vehicles in the unit list. changed groups: -RU IFV2 -RU TANK1 -RU TANK2 -US IFV2 -US TANK1 Good luck.

Есть ли возможность в Ка-50 подготовить поле боя -- поставить дымы, пожары, etc как в Иле? Я нужных объектов не нашел. Кто в курсе, подскажите плиз.

1В14 БОМАН Привет парни! Диана опять нас порадовала новой моделью на базе МТ-ЛБу. Это пункт наземного целеуказания 1В14 БОМАН. Оцениваем.

yeah untill you can prove without shadow of a doubt one can only suck it up and keep gaming away. Don try label cheaters, because at anyone time you might be tempted to point fingers at everyone and loose credibility or be dragged into idiots discussions and get defeated with experience...or both. Its a loose-loose situation while in ignorance. Human nature prompts people explore less than "glorious" ways to achieve a goal over others in a competition. Thats as certain as the sun rising everyday. Of course in 5 billion years the sun will eat the earth away and explode, but perhaps by then people might have changed too! :D

Good point, GGTharos! These are things that I ignore during online flying, sometimes they get me a little angry but that's the thrill of multiplayer gaming :) Personally I try to keep to the real, as much as possible, but Im sure im very far away from the real thing. The only thing that I don't like is someone who fires all his missiles on one target, after knowing there are no other planes nearby, instead of trying to keep supremacy over an area for a period. I like 1 shot=1 kill :pilotfly: Salute all !

Module content will tend to be dictated by military needs ... ... and not vivid imagination :D

Hey Falcon, Did you try disabling your AV ? If it runs in safe mode it must be something interfering with modman. Antivirus is the first thing i can think about. Did you always have this problem or did it suddenly pop up?

^^^^ So what did happen? Dead stick landing?

Here's my opinion from corner whatever :) The problem here is not that 'exploits exist' but in what is considered an exploit. In the vast majority of cases, the exploit/cheat/whatchumacallit is something that the game allows. Head on barrel-rolling? Check Head on chaffing? Check Flaps down while flying at the speed of heat or dogfighting? Check Flying at under 10 meters and maintaining offensive posture while the other guy can do nothing? Check Maddoging certain missiles WHATSOEVER, and maddogging certain other ones with too high a pK? Check. Seeing how fast you can press E so that the other guy starts screaming at you over the chat? Check :D Shooting down Su-25's or A-10's to hear them whine about how you're not really a hero, and they're poor and defenseless and Fighters should go pick on something else in mixed servers? Check :D People taking off from taxiways? Rearming/refueling at your base and shooting you down as you take off? These are just some examples of what tickles people funny - they are called exploits and cheats, but they really aren't. Each single one of those can be dealt with - but none of this, for the most part, reflects reality. Certain people insist that 'not flying realistically' is a cheat or exploit. It isn't. A decade ago, I had no bloody clue what a semblance of 'realistic flying' was, nor how missiles/radars/planes/whatevers are supposed to operate, and I have no idea why I'd be expected to have any idea, either. All of the above is nothing more nor less than pure whining, and sure, I do it too. Legitimate cheats and exploits, such as alterations of opposition's 3d models to look like a KC-10 or Kuz so you can see them from 50000000000000km are likely in the minority. Alterations of missile characteristics are ridiculously rare (it's more likely you'll find a sly substitution of a missile rather than an alteration), substitution of illegic payloads more of an issue - but then, LRM fixes this nicely as is. So then, what's left, and how do you tell, and how do you deal with it?

... it's a trade secret? ;) But the -general- idea is to get military simulation contracts and translate them into simulations for us. Welcome to the life of a pilot? ;) Please search the forum and see what has been said again and AGAIN ad infinitum about such ideas. TO summarize: Modules will be released for one aircraft each. Module content will tend to be dictated by military needs. Modules will be released as fast as they can be, not as fast as you think they should be. Modules really DO take this long to develop. Modules still DO take this long to develop even though ED has more than 12 people working on things ;)

Hi Tomcatz, Explain how this is done online please, you seem to know something most believe impossible. And its not through LRM. Missiles get madogged more often than not its built into the game and just an exploit of reality. This has been done to death. You can't police it as everyone does it in one form or another be it ET or ARH. If you can't see a bandit visually at 10 kliks then you need to turn down your antialiasing or buy some glasses. As for quitting it happens and it sucks but at the end of the day you'd still be dead if he didn't quit. Sorry but this is notching your radar update is delayed. Ive also heard the one about disappearing aircraft, in reality the bandit just turned away. Most probably lag you didn't literally see him press the printscreen key did you, lag happens more often when missiles are in the air. I've killed bandits over 100km with ER, it has long legs. The flanker radar sees bandits 120km away. Ive also seen people claim its cheating when they get killed over 70km which is naive BS. These little cheat claims do the multiplayer community no good, they just create more hysteria by uninformed people. There are ways of cheating this game if you fancy carriers flying around your world but there are plenty of explanations for things which wrongly get called cheating.

I think you should stop drinking whatever you're drinking.... cos you're getting a case of the beer goggles...

Has the EMO hairdo encroached over to animals now? :)

You connect your car to 'ground power'. (Engine and cabin heat, for those of us lucky enough to live right next to the f'ing North Pole.)

I'm not sure I should comment... :P Let's just say I think the A10C is prettier than the animal it's named after. ;)

Rarely full loaded Flanker :)

Не я так не извращался, простой отстрел серией и нырок по курсу (снижение), без всяких полубочек, ракета уходит на ЛТЦ выше тебя.

Done

I am one of the many beta testers and even though Windows 7 was not available to test the patch on it runs perfectly well under Windows 7 x86 and x64 environments. No compatibility modes needed AFAIK. Should be installed under admin as you say though. Your issues are likely to be related to some other problem with your machine or your install etc. Out

Chibawang Not bad but you missed the horizontal button or rocker type switch on the lower right corner.Located under the same type switch placed vertical there. A-10C bezel http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=22890&d=1230197564 F-16 bezel drawing http://www.xflight.de/original/parts/center_console/mfd/mfd_draw_02.gif

Deadman: My jealousy of your part collection is a bottomless pit. :cry: The buttons are the same size, but the symmetry ends there. The display is 5 in, while the F-16's is aprox. 4 in. The Hog's bezels are quite a bit wider, with a tapered inner edge and backlit lines connecting on screen options to the corresponding button. There is also a rotary on the A-10C bezel which is missing from the F-16 version. These variations might seem minor, but for a serious pitbuilder it would be unacceptable. Anyway, I was half joking about TM making a Hog MFD, and even if they did I would still prefer to build my own.

Yep 10 years of comedy.

Спасибо за ответы. Кнопка "Оси" внизу окна до установки патча у меня почему-то была неактивна. После установки патча попал куда надо. Оси для разных устройств имеют одинаковые названия, сначала путался. Но настроил и вчера пролетел пару кругов, повертелся. Я бы не хотел что либо утверждать т.к. летал в основном в ЛОКОН, на Акуле пока довольствовался лишь настройкой и кругом. 940й у меня всего 2 дня и впечатления противоречивые До этого 2 года летал на Logitech Extrreme 3D Pro. Постараюсь ответить на ваши вопросы, буду сравнивать с Extrreme 3D Pro. (E3DP) Опыта с устройствами выше классом у меня не было. Прошу не принимать то что напишу как святую истину, возможно многие мои ощущения вызваны 2х летней привычкой к старому джою, которые за 2 дня не сломаешь :) РУС в принципе нормальный, но мне сначала после E3DP не удобен хват. Кнопки по бокам от хаток сильно разнесены по бокам и вверх(относительно E3DP). Пока работать на ощупь как на E3DP не получается, до верхних приходиться тянуться. Хотя похоже это дело привычки. Есть кнопка под мизинец. Собственно в полете она самопроизвольно нажимается из-за хвата. Потому я ее назначил на колесный тормоз, как на реальном самолете. Про кнопки писал выше, хатка на джое удобна, миниджой вынесен выше, но неудобств это не возникает, больше непривычно разнесенность кнопок. Но похоже дело привычки. Хатки на РУДе - то что надо. Очень удобно, большой палец уверенно ложиться на любую вслепую на ощупь, Кнопки на РУДе (те что около хаток) тоже расположены очень удобно. К РУДу - претензий нет. Отлично реализован. Педали - дребезга нет, приятно, позиционирование точное. Украина, эквивалент 330-400$ ФФБ - работает, я не любитель, на режимах сваливания и около них довольно сильно вибрирует - мешает пилотировать, отключил. собственно можно полностью отключить питание - тогда джой вовсе легкий - ходит без сопротивления. Неприятно, потому включаю питание но отключаю ФФБ. В этом состоянии моторы иммитируют сопротивление РУСа. Сначала не нравилось, вчера полетал, начинает все больше нравиться усилие на РУСе , сожалею что всего 2 дня юзаю. По поводу триммирования - в Акуле не пробовал. В Ил-2 работает - отклоняет рули, РУС остается нейтрален. В ЛОКОН - отклоняет рули поворота, по тангажу и крену сдвигает РУС соответственно. Точность позиционирования - высокая, придраться некчему. Лучше не представляю, хуже - знаю :) .После E3DP - просто выдающаяся. Дребезга никакого. Больше мне сравнивать не с чем. Правда эргономика E3DP мне больше по душе. При работе иногда издает тихий скрежет - моторы стремяться установить РУС в нейтральное положение. Если обесточить - плавно сникает Профили - как уже писал набор "кейхитов" и их комбинаций назначенных на клавиши устройства. В принципе очень удобно, гораздо проще чем копаться в настройках игры и вешать функции на клавиши напрямую - прописать их клавиатурные аналоги в софтине от Логитеча. Гораздо проще, а кроме того на РУДе есть переключатель 1-2-3 т.е. на каждую клавишу можно повесить 3 функции. Нажатия можно записывать с интервалами между нажатиями. Например: 1- навигация, посадка 2- БВБ-ДВБ 3- Земля Как понимаете я все же больше по крылатым машинам а не по винтокрылым. :pilotfly: Если есть вопросы - спрашивайте, попробую ответить.

I don't think the HUD is from F-16...:smilewink:

I am really surprised to see, as once again we ended absorbed by what he says or does mean Mr. John_X, I think we are giving much importance to his opinion, and consequently, the main theme of the thread is lost. And he is not the first time ... Please return to the topic! it's time!! :thumbup:
