Interesting... Although, something is still amiss. I've spent the last couple of days looking at pics of Eagles in flight, and it seems like most of the time, under what I would guess to be normal to low-end cruising speeds, the intake ramps are slightly down (much like ruggbutts 2nd picture). On takeoff and landing, including full AB takeoffs, the ramps appear to be fully down. The only time I see any pictures with the ramps fully open is when the plane is parked! Anyway, I guess I'd be happy if I just got the same results that you guys do, but for me, my ramps are stuck fully open, pretty much regardless of what the aircraft is doing...

Hey, Ruggbutt.... How did you get those pics? I took an Eagle up for a flight last night to see if the ramps would act like that, and they didn't. At idle, the ramps were almost straight, similar to your second picture. That's as closed as they got... any more thrust just changed them from "wide open" to "REALLY wide open." Those screenies were from 1.02, or 1.1? Did you make any sort of changes? Thanks, Rampstrike

Very well.... so the short answer is, "No, there is no way to fix it, nor will there ever be." Nice to know my opinion is taken seriously. I'm sure no one has ever asked for a minor graphical fix to LOMAC before... :roll: As for the eye candy argument, hasn't that been LOMAC's biggest selling point all along? It's certainly not for the sense of immersion in a dynamic combat environment... Well, thanks for the mostly civil answers, Brit. At least I know now for sure that I am indeed the only person playing LOMAC that is bothered by this trivial matter. Cheers, Ramp

Hmm... legitimate priorities. I guess that makes sense, to a certain degree. I suppose, for example, that having the choice between flashing or steady beacons on an Su-25T is far more important than having a working intake ramp on an F-15C... As for me, MY priorities would have been to make this fix way ahead of adding an Su-25T -an aricraft I have absolutely no interest in flying - to the mix, but hey, we all have differing opinions, right? Well, if this is something the developers don't want to fix, then they should at least make the tools available to the modding community so that a fan could fix it. I'm sure someone would have a working solution within a day or two... Thanks for the help, I guess. Cheers, Rampstrike

Maybe I'm the only person in the whole LOMAC universe bothered by this, but bothered I am. The problem I'm referring to is how the F-15C's intake ramp stays stuck in the full open/up position no matter what the flight envelope, while all of the AI F-15C's seem to have intake ramps that move to the down/smaller profile position. Is it too much to ask that this minor tweak get fixed in the midst of the myriad of other fixes being done? Seems that if it works on the AI aircraft, it should work on the players' as well. I'm sure the biggest problem is just that nobody really cares... but, being a big fan of the Eagle, it's something I'd like to see fixed. Even if it's just stuck in the down position, I think it would look better... Feel free to flame away, but seriously... can this minor annoyance be fixed? Thanks, Rampstrike

Ooops... just noticed that this thread is 14 pages long. Read your last post Shepski, and I'm guessing there's no hope of seeing the F-15 intake fixed this patch. Can I put it at the top of the list for any future patches? Pretty please? :) -Ramp

Not to be a total nitpicker, Shepski, but what are the chances of seeing the F-15C intake ramp bug fixed? You know, the one where the player's intake ramps stay all the way open no matter what, but the AI F-15's ramps will vary their position more realistically? I know in the great scheme of things this is very minor and trivial, but as a huge Eagle fan, I like to admire how pretty my jet is in the F2 view a lot, and seeing that intake stuck full open all the time is driving me batty! Just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask... Cheers, Rampstrike
