I would also be interested in some for the KA-50.

wow - these modules look great, hope this endeavour works out for you!. When you have finalised your plans/tooling for the A10 modules, do you think you will expand into other aircraft such as the KA-50?.

Maybe im just imagining this BUT... Sometime ago on this forum it was mentioned there was a possibility of enabling TIR 6dof for all the flyables but ED wont be redoing them, these cockpits were not designed for 6dof so you will get problems/tearing ETC so its just take them as they are if you really want 6dof that bad. Again i could be way off here :P

They are beautiful screens, and from what ive been reading up they are adding alot of new lighting effects aswell which should make things look amzing. I can only be a matter of time before they add weapons :) :) :)

hmmm never seen that simcraft place before, they say their product will be out in q1 this year so i'll defo be keeping on eye on them. Fingers crossed they'll come through.

Yeah i seen the Force Dynamics 301 solution but its price range is way way outside any commonfolks budget so i didn't delve to deep into it. Fufunka, dont suppose you can recall where you seen him say that? It might be tricky for an jet sim but i reckon helo would be good.

Have recently got into racing sims (although flight simming is still more to my heart) and so have been reading up the different comunities the racing boys have and came accross this. Have never seen it mentioned here before so i taught i post it here. Its from a company called frex and is called the Simconmotion, its a complete motion cockpit designed for racing car sims but i cant see any reason that t cant be made work for flight sim's, especially lockon Blackshark (helosim). Although i know that these have been available for a long time ive never seen one been sold at this price ( its in yen so goto http://www.x-rates.com to convert to your local cost). It is an expensive toy but for what your getting it seems reasonable. Here link for the product http://www.frex.com/gp/ Here's a link to check price https://www.frex.com/cgi-bin/store/agora.cgi?cart_id=6015848.84231*8H4rr7&product=SimConSeries This here is a review one of the members did on it (tested on racing sims). http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=238433 Theres a few more reviews about if people wanna read them and it seems that anyone who has tried it is giving it great praise. So up for discussion, What ye all think.

well lets hope its more accurate then the "technical info" at the bottom of the page. :) But 15th of may could well be right, still gives them a few weeks to iron bugs out.

well maybe if a beta tester would be allowed they might be able to tell us even what percentage of the buttons/switchs/levers that are drawn are clickable and work. IE. if its 50% of the buttons/switchs/levers, 70%, 90%.. I'd really love to know..

Just rewatching that 6dof tir 4 movie of the Ka-50 cockpit and it just hit me how many buttons/knobs/switch's etc are actually on that helo, there even around all the sides and up above. So i was just wondering that when we told it will be a fully clickable cockpit does that mean every one of them buttons/switchs/levers are going to be clickable and work?? There just seems so many i'd find this hard to believe.

Hey, I was wondering with all the new fixes/changes coming with the new 1.11 patch , will the FC-manual be updated to include them?

Not sure of other ways mate, just got the link sent to me and i downloaded it. well im seeding away aswell but remember people, even after you finish downloading leave your pc uploading so its faster for others.

Hey A mate of mine just sent me this and its got some very nice pics/info about various jets/Heli, most of which are part of lockon.Its a torrent file format. Not sure if this is old/new but its first time ive seen. Makes some nice reading or could help people designing models. http://www.simnet.is/chase/LockOn.torrent Hope it helps.

Hey, besides looks and of course the new fly-able is there much new content in the new manual over the first?

I love helo sims more then even flying planes and i would love to see the ka-50 in lockon. Especially with the quality of the of the FM and designs of the other fly-ables in lock-on im sure ED will make Ka-50 just aswell and it will be the best Sim Helo made to date. Helo's require a completely different style of play then a jet, different tactics with advantages & dis-advantages, some like-some dont, each to thier own. Also with such advanced jet mechanics + players in the game against you, piloting a Ka-50 sucessfully would be a great challenge, especially online. I do believe alot of people would love it. 1 question though, read through some of the links at the bottom of the new manual and when reading about the ka-50 it stated there are 2 variants. Ka-50A/HOKUM A: Standard direct air support variant. Ka-50N/HOKUM N: Night attack variant fitted with a nose-mounted FLIR. The cockpit is fitted with an additional TV display, and is NVG compatible. Anyone know which 1 is been put into lock-on?, it seems the Ka-50n would probably be the most fun :) so i hope its that.

That Ka-50 means more to me then the entire 1.1 FC package. damm i want it bad :(

OMG, dont suppose this was officialy posted somewhere?. would u have a link?

Wondering if theres a chance we will ever get to fly heli's in lomac. Lomac is excellent but i just love heli sim's. I know the terrain would need alot of work done for it to be viable so im sure it would have to be a serperate expansion pack but if they done it right as ive no doubt they could i know it would sell very well. So is there any chance that soon we could get a Ka-52 (Black Shark) or Apache ETC. It would just top the game off for me.
