What a lovely picture. Regards Mizzy

Well everyone is getting in on doing something for this wonderful sim and since i have the time at the moment (made redundant but no great loss, I hated the job anyway :D) I thought I would work on some textures myself. As some may be aware, I love 'weathered look' skins and textures so here are some. Still working on new cockpit glass and here is the finished F16. I can't find the F5 canopy glass so if anyone can direct me, it would be appreciated. Now the new style fog settings and texture tweak. I have also done weathered texture for numerous weapons and missiles and I hope to put them all in a big package soon. Mizzy

This may have been mentioned before but the first 9 ship barrel roll was the RAF Red Arrows. I saw it done at RAF Waddington 2004. They made a big issue of its skill needed to pull it off. I also think they did it in the famous "Diamond Nine" formation. Mizzy

Very well done indeed, great piece of narration. It is truly an wonderful sim and the best we have. Mizzy

The post is sexist! Mizzy

This is where I got the idea of the skin from and the info about the pengy. Very strange but when i set up a mission using the Norwegian F16 to fight or to ground pound, it seems that they are more skillful AI pilots than the USA F16s. This may well be in RL as the Scandi Guys are very well trained but with limited military resource. It could be just my imagination though and I am getting in trouble recently staying up too late! Mizzy

Ho Ho ha ha Joker yep gedit :D Yes the pengy hits its target every time launched from helos and F16, btw do you like my new skin ;) Mizzy

Norway uses the Penguin and this weapon is fully configured for their F16s as the said aircraft was modular (software) designed for specific Countries weapons requirements. The sale of the F16 to other Nations and procurement of USA weapons treaties was also fundamental in its (F16) design without giving any specific nation particular weapons secrets. The f16 must be the best example of this concept hence its ubiquitous use....sale of the century!!! anyone remember? Fact! On the other hand just use LOPE for Flaming cliffs... works like a dream :D . Alpha, lighten up, my humour can be a bit dry at times ;) Mizzy

Umm Kinks eh, ooh sounds very kinky :) Mizzy

I have been researching into various country's use of the F16 and I came accross the little known fact that Norway depoys their F16s using the Penguin. So I take it that the F16 can be used for just about any role in modern air combat and theatre of war. So why hasn't the penguin been added to the Norway missile configs in FC like so: Do I have to do everything myself to make this game realistic :) Mizzy

Hes always coming and going, hes done it for years. But hes always lurking in the shadows taking new names and posting about himself ;) Mizzy

Very special gift to this community Skypat. Félicitations ! Merci beaucoup. Mizzy

Stormy, Europeans don't laugh at North Americans, at least I and all people that I know don't, because the average american is exactly the same as the average European etc. what we do laugh at is silly videos with stupid OVER THE TOP commentory ;) You appear over the top patriotic if you consider that commentory in the video nothing but OTT !! So what's that got to do with sales of US video and music merchandise? Mizzy

That's your problem, not the poster :) Mizzy

yes i will, just need to do some work on the alpha channels. I have done the Mig29, F4 Su17, Su27, Su30, F16, tornado, Mig25/31. People can take them or leave them (hint hint) Mizzy

I said "rarely" not Never ;) I think the argument is which is the more common and there seems to be more blueish canopy than gold. let the flames begin. Mizzy

I have personally rarely seen 'gold' canopy F16s! http://www.f-16.net/gallery_item21915.html Mizzy

The screenshots are not edited and you don't have to say anything ;) kind regards Mizzy

Nope You will have to look at the defaults and make your decision :) Mizzy

Lets just say I will keep them private. Mizzy

Rhino you sound like a fanboi, instead of the Su/Mig your a fanboi of the F22. Can't you see you have contradicted your own thread title!! Mizzy

Its the 'new look' Lock on FC ! The futures bright, the futures ED ;) I can't wait to see what the have come up with for us small but dedicated aviation enthusiasts. BTW even my Partner is taking interest in FC and BS and that is a BIG leap in turning someones interest around! He couldn't stand aeroplanes and used to look at me as some sort of freak. Mizzy

Thats what I say to all the boys ;) Mizzy

Oh yeah I forgot to add... since ED gave us a few tools to work with, its been a mods frenzy :D Tomcatz creations are nothing shot of genius and now I read that we are going to get a big overhaul on graphics by some very talented Guy very soon. Yes I think that now our computers can run the thing this must have helped Lock On (or FC which is what I play). It just goes to show, if we are able to mod a game and the more modable it is, the greater the interest in it and its longivity. I am not getting into the arguments about BS cos it always ends up in BS! ;) But, I think BS should be stand alone :D Mizzy

that around the net, the interest in Lock On seems to have grown quite substantially. There are more visitors and posters at Simhq than ever before for instance. For me its no surprise with Lock on posessing the best flight model in any sim (excluding x-plane) and so many wonderful mods out there. Yep, I see a very bright future for ED and TFC, there is obviously a lot happening since the fiasco of the original Lock on and the dreadful decision to have Ubisoft as the distributor. Keep it up, Lock on is still my favorite game/simulator and its getting better and better - well done ED. Mizzy
