Interesting... a big ball of plasma... IR sensors would be fried.

Well I'm glad the temperature of this thread is kept to a bare minimum. Testing new sig out: (it's 150px high and only 29kbs, good enough?)

Wow 21 pages... All I posted was a google video!

Well I had a go. Completely resizable and customizable. And.. after reading some posts...

yes, the F-22 has performed a kulbit. They call it a micro loop. search google video for it.

Ah yes, F-22 destroys Su-27 because: The only supposed weakness was super maneuvrebility of American aircraft. Now that has been debunked. F-22 with WAY better BVR, smiliar super maneuvrebility. Yep, my money is on the F-22 (pilot or not pilot we're comparing a 1950's sports car to a Pagani Zonda).

I've been messing around with Lock On's settings and have gotten it to run beautifully fast with everything high. What I did was make the game load EVERYTHING onto the ram since I have 2 gigs of it. The game loads a while but once you get in, it's incredibly fast. The only problem I get now is when I'm flying low, I look at a small patch of group. The frame rate gets LOWER! Completely confused me as when I drag the mouse cursor out to see the entire landscape (my plane is a dot), the FPS increases.

Go for the widescreen. You can see more of your cockpit. Plays a lot better too and feels more natural.

I don't understand people and their fixation with PICTURES of graphics cards. It's a piece of PCB board with circuitry and a large fan on top. Has absolutely no indication of any performance values or what not.

Can anyone change the 3D model for the afterburnber effect? It currently looks like a cheap looking cone.

Russian missiles aren't fire and forget. So you'll have to dodge his missiles whilst firing at him AND keeping lock on him. Pretty easy once you master it. You've gotta wait till he fires his first missile. Dive down, but steep enough to keep lock on him. Let the missle run out of fuel, climb up again, launch. By this time he would've launched his second, dive down again, repeat, launch.

Hey guys, long time no see. Especially to Snake, I mean, SATAN. ;) Anyways, I have to agree with most of the points. Lock On is by no means even close to a game. Game, meaning it has characters, story, interesting things that make it alluring. It's just a big mash up of parts. Good eye candy, mediocre flight dynamics, no campaign. What Lock On needs is a big boost in the campaign system. They should introduce a whole new storyline, interesting characters, more enthusiatic radar operators etc. Make the game alive. Have a co pilot talk to you. Anything to make the game less of a lonely flight in the skies. Adding a black shark helicopter to the game and upgrading the graphics isn't going to do anything to help its user base. Upgrade the airplane models,add new airplanes, add more mood to the game, better interface, faster optimization, a completely interactive campaign map, AI people who like talking and are always backing you up, immerson. Lock On needs imagination. But seriously, I will bet my University tuition that none of what we ask are going to be worked on.

Will blackshark use starforce and will it include everything from Flaming cliffs? Just wondering if I should buy flaming cliffs now and then buy blackshark. Also, will 1.2 offer the patches from Flaming cliffs? I'm more interested in the Su27 avionics upgrade than anything else. But I don't want starforce on my computer.

I was playing Lock On with a buddy, and we were flying a Su27 chasing a plane to gun him down. It was so funny. He had the keyboard, whilst I was using throttle/stick. He was my navigator. We were barking orders to each other, it was SO funny. We were like "up up! lock on! no no, air brakes air brakes! wait, air brakes off! match speed! J! Press J! Flare flare!" We kept following the enemy aircraft, and we were like down to 20 bullets (yeah, we were pretty bad). It was so intense. Sweat were pouring off our heads. So funny. He kept moving the camera off, when I wanted to go another way. We finally ran out of bullets, and the enemy plane was STILL flying. So we rammed into it lol. See, only thing we needed was a Su30.

Feels like ages since I posted on this forum. Just wanted to say hi to some old timers here.

Enough with the updated missiles, can we get updated Su27/33/F15 models? I think you can boost sales. Maybe I'm just dreaming.

The projects in a period of suspension since nobody wants to do any work on it. We're all busy with something called life.

It's been a while since I made a wallpaper. It's different than what I usually make: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/30626758/

I need a sig.. too lazy to make my own.

There u go.

Lol that logo for your movies. Took me ages to make right, you nit picker. Anyways, just had to have a go:

Due to our busy schedules and iminent release of 1.2 black shark, our team has decided to pospone the mod until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience. We hope to pick it up at a later date. Glowing_amraam and T-Bone are busy testing the mod on 1.2 to evaluate a possible extension to the project. Thanks for your patience. VVanks out.

ooh, any links to these bots?
