Just be aware that if you change thrugh the LOFC interface anything in the config then LOFC will reset the cfg file value back to 1.3333, you have to quit the game, edit the cfg file back to whatever value you want and then start LOFC again. Quite annoying bug.

Intel si planning to enter high-end graphics market - it might be good for all of us here ... http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=201807469&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_News

I had the same problem. Either disabling "User Access Control" or setting "Local Security Policy" -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> "User Account Control :Behaviour of the elevation prompt for Administrators in Admin Approval Mode" to "Elevate without prompting" fixed the issue for me. Plus I run LockOn as member of Administrators group.

Nice graphics! But, does it support 1600x1200 resolution ??? ;)

I totally agree with Cali. I think it would be nice if smoke rised to proper height - a mile or so. If LOMAC can show AWACS trails hundred miles long for forever - then I think it shouldn't be problem to have "longer" smokes for longer period of time (10 minutes at least) ...

Nice movie ! You are getting better and better. Thanks !

I don't use antivirus. My login account is not member of admin group and can write files to only few folders. I use NAT router with no open ports & ZoneAlarm. I use Opera - and for rare occurences when I have to use Internet Explorer I custom setup IE security to forbit almost everything except basic stuff. I am very careful what I download. My wife's account can write files only to her folder, use Opera too, and I forbade her to use Internet Explorer and download anything. I am running like that for about 10 years and I am pretty sure I haven't got any virus/spy/adware on my box so far. About year ago I bought Norton Antivirus and scanned my box. It did not find anything so I uninstalled it next day (because I noticed that it slowed down my box). I will probably re-check my box with antivirus sometimes in few years again.

Probably top (LOMAC) wish on my list would be Track-IR working in all external views in combination with mouse ...

Sad news indeed. R.I.P. Steve.

Maybe because all supposedly round shapes like knobs and "clocks" on your screenshot are actually oval .... You might want to check this thread: http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=13573&highlight=widescreen for information how to correct LockOn's aspect ratio on 16:9 monitor.

Just to enlight you, Sonny, each web server runs many threads (tens of them). Each web request is handled by separate threads. So if you are writing any web applications (which I am not) you in fact need to be aware of threads (unless you are doing something really simple like static pages). Each meaningful web browser runs multiple threads. That way it can download images separately from web page text. Each meaningful database engine is running multiple threads. Otherwise your database query would have to wait until my database query ends. Even simple slideshow viewers run multiple threads. While one thread handles user input and displays images, other threads are prefetching next images so when you hit the "next image" button the already pre-loaded image is displayed instantly. The list goes on and on ...

Wow ! Excelent demonstration of the ejection seats ! I though you can eject only up-perpendicular from the plane but it looks like on the video the seats are ejected in front of aircraft nose ! Even if the plane is upside down they got ejected and gained altitude !

Does anybody know how this magic reverse hyperthreading buzzword works ? I am programmer, 95% of code I write is multithreaded, but I really cannot imagine how two cores can process a single threaded program faster than a single core (apart from some asynchronous stuff - but asynchronous processing is essentially not a single-threaded program) ... I am affraid a lot of people on this thread are putting their faith in a rumor ... I would like to be proven wrong, but I am quite confident that in this case I wont ...

Seems like a good idea to me!

Do I see terrain bump-mapping in those videos or is it just my immagination ?

Unfortunately this is just rumor with no detail whatsoever how it would work. I will believe it once I see it ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_Monoxide And yes - it causes cyclones, because hurricane (which is one type of cyclone) do need ocean. And ocean has a lot of Dihydrogen Monoxide - which is simpe water :). BTW, the HHO seem to me the same kind of hoax, because you can write it's formula as H2O too ... Also they claim "they drive 100 miles using four ounces of water". Excuse me !???! :) Maybe if the vehicle size is the size of bycicle ... Or maybe they used it just to clean windshied ? :) 4 ounces is equal to about 0.125 kilograms. There is about 0.0125 kg of hydrogen in that amount of water. Burning one kg of hydrogen to water gives you about 150 Mega Joules of energy. For example, burning one kg of gasoline in atmosphere gives you about 50 Mega Joules of energy (three times less than hydrogen). To drive 100 miles on good-size vehicle you need about 6 kg of gasoline - which equals to about 300 Mega Joules of energy. So they are claiming that burning of 0.125 kg of "HHO" will give them that 300 Mega Joules - which is puting energy density of HHO to about 2500 Mega Joules per kilogram !!! - way higher than when burning unbound hydrogen !!! ... maybe they found a way how to put a bit of antimatter into the HHO gas by that "unique elecrolysis process" ... ?? ;) Well, good luck to HHO investors !!! - sadly it seems that we will pay part of bill in form of taxes since one of the investors seems to be US Army ...

I don't think it would be waste of time even if there are no cards in use currently. If ED use the AGEIA Physics SDK then CPU would be used for physics calculation on hardware without the AGEIA card. Once people buy cards then they will get more "physics-candy". It is basically the same idea as behind OpenGL or DirectX. When there were no 3d cards then the OpenGL/DirectX driver was running in software-emulation mode. Once you plug the 3d video card in then things will get accelerated. Using SDK by the way allows you to get better graphics without changing any game code - just by buying better graphics card. I remember that after owning Quake 2 for quite a time it suddenly become a whole new game for me when I bought my first 3D card - TNT2 Viper. The same think will hapen to Lomac if they use Physics SDK. You will get "CPU physics" now. Later on you can get hardware accelerated physics when you buy physics card. The only risk ED would take when using AGEIA Physics SDK is risk of AGEIA going out of business. But that seems unlikely since Unreal Engine and SDKs for PlayStation 3 is going to support it ...

Just a suggestion for ED - I think it would be better if Lockon by default automatically calculated screen aspect ratio based on screen resolution instead of widescreen users needing to meddle with config file ...

my flaps once just flew away as i pulled them while flying at high speed. i watch my speed when pulling out flaps since then ...

Is that thing legal ? ... I mean ... its a frigging MISSILE ;) ... It also sounds (almost) as the real thing (mig29) ... :)

I agree that the low-altitude OFP/AA screenshots look better than LOMAC low-altitude screnshots. However LOMAC absolutely excels on middle and hight altitude screenshots over any engine I saw. Any mid/high altitude screenshots for OFP/AA I saw were not nearly as impressive as those in LOMAC (and lot of them actually were pretty bad). In OFP/AA you can see A LOT of very apparent repeated textures when you go higher, and their draw distance is about two miles - over that you cant see ANYTHING - they always hide further terrain in fog. Please prove me that I am wrong with some OFP/AA mid/high altitude screenshot :) I think one thing LOMAC could take from OFP is terrain bump-mapping for low altitude rendering, or do what this (http://web.interware.hu/bandi/ranger.html) engine does. BTW, I absolutely love OFP and will for sure buy AA ...
