As J.Carmack said , the future of my development is in writing basic code and then updating and slow evolution. I personaly hope that this is what we will see with Lock-On.Progressing and evolution of the base code and incorporation of new Fm and flyable aircrafts , AI, optimalization of engine and Dynamic
campaign.
These days , building the game from ground up is very expensive and long term thing so this is the only way to survive with this genre.So I hope that we will see the same thing that happened to Falcon4 , now after 6 years this game is almost perfect thanks to support of fans and all people helping to improve this sim. The only disadvantage is that F4 code is not available for improving and here I can see the advantage for Lock On.ED owns their code and can slowly update this sim and sometimes it will stand next to falcon or even higher.
Next thing is to help other poeple play the sims and to help them understand what to do during mission and learn them basics of flight combat and all the tricks and hints.Here I can see big potencial for us to write all the PDFs and mission reports like BeachAV8R in F4 on SimHQ.

I hope that people from ED will confirm my thoughts and will continue to improve LockOn in all possible areas.This is my small wish.This sim has so much potential.
And maybe if not , they could release the source code for free and let other people to do it instead of them.
Sorry for my english.
