I have a question regarding "Carrier based aircrafts". I notice that these aircrafts take quite a beating when it comes to landing these birds,some touch downs are pretty smooth but on the most part it looks more like a "controlled crash".Are these aircrafts built with this in mind,do they make modifications to the aircraft to make it last longer??? Im pretty sure they do,but to what extent ???

I have been doing a little bit of research(Im not a technician)on these modern fighters that fly our skies today.I went to Patricks Aviation Website and down loaded all videos on these 2 aircrafts.I also found aditional info that was very usefull.I came to the conclusion that the su-35/37 superb fighters, I have never seen any aircraft maneuver like this.With the right pilot this bird can do some serious damage.If you get a chance please check out these videos,they demonstrate what these fighter aircrafts are capable of.The F-22 can really maneuver nicely,the stealth technology doesnt hurt either,however for $200 million a piece aircraft that is only designed for the "Air superiority" role,i think its too high,at one time it underwent testing with the JDAMM (or something like that.)for ground attacks,but it was never incorporated in the final design.I love both aircrafts and it would be a hard choice to make if i was to decide how to arm my air forces.BTW...how much does a SU-35/37 cost ??.....They wont be on E-bay so dont bother...LOL

I have some missions that I saved (Basic aerobatics and that sort of stuff.) What I would like to do is have some background music to make it a bit more dramatic.Is this allowed in LOMAC 1.12a ???

Great. That was excellent !:pilotfly:

I am using MODMAN to handle my aircraft skins for LOMAC 1.12a. Im trying to apply the GREEK SU-27 skin but nothing shows up,can anyone help???:confused: Thanx in advance.:D

Excellent tips,this is gonna save me a lot of valuable time.I've had a little experience with other carrier based aircrafts sims,but this one is in my opinion the most realistic AC carrier experience ever,nicely done.Hey S77th-Konkussion thanks for the help brother,highly appreciated.

Got it guys !!!! Hey guys,thanx a million for the input,I stayed up all night and worked at it over and over,taking in consideration what you guys said and now I got it down.Now comes the fun part...Landing this bad boy.:icon_supe Again,thanx guys:icon_weed

I went through the training video a couple of times,but I cant seem to get it right,I always come really close to the water every time.I know in real life that when an carrier based aircraft takes off, it's gonna drop or sink a few feet.Is there a trick or tut that goes more into detail on how to take off......besides lots and lots of practise:) Any tip will be app.thanx in advance

Thanx guys !! I was right in my assumptions,thanx for the input it was a very interesting experience to see the diference of opinions,I have no complaints as to how LOCK ON runs in my current system,so I guess I will save the money for something else like...........The new helicopter simulator thats about to come out soon:icon_supe

My system specs: Pentium4 3.2 with Hyperthreading Technology 1024mb (1gig.) memory RAM ATI Radeon X800XT 256mb. Saitek X52 flight system SB Audigy 2 Sound card. My question is...Would it benefit me to upgrade my RAM to 2 gigs.?? Will it improve the performance??? (performance of the game) Personally,Im not sure if it will,but Im asking you guys so that way i dont waste the money.Im not complaining about my system,LOCK ON runs great.graphics are gorgeous.Just looking for some guidance on what to do next.All coments will be greatly appr. thanx:confused:

I have noticed that the SU-30 and the SU-27 are very similar if not identical with the exception of the extra seat in the SU-30 as the most obvious difference.My question is what is this aircraft's role ? Interceptor like the F-14 Tomcat??? Or is the extra seat for training purposes only,I was thinking that one flies the aircraft while the other searches and engages targets.Is this correct ?

I downloaded a skin for my Lock On collection,it's a Indonisian air force SU-27.Currently I am using MODMAN to install my skins and related files.The problem is,as some of you might already know,if you install this skin you will lose all aircraft marking(red star)and the numbers.The red star I can get back with no problem,but the numbers are another issue.I end up having to re-install the entire game cause MODMAN doesnt really save the original ,i tried to recover my graphics by modman but it didnt work.Can I install this skin without this issue ?:confused:

flaps. Interesting concept. It becomes more clearer the way you explained it,the manuals sometimes confuse me more than anything else.thanx for the minute buddy.:icon_supe

Joy !!!! My fellow pilot, a couple of questions first. 1. How serious are you (how much time do you devote to sims ?) 2.Your budget. Here's the deal Im 48 years old and have been flying computer sims for 15 years.I have bought more joysticks than you can shake a stick at.Currently Im using the X-52 Saitek Flight controller system,I just got it last week for $99.00 You absolutly cant beat that,still not convinced?? Do some research of your own,read reviews but best of all is asking forum members.Im extremely pleased with this system, Im not saying it's the best,but for $99.00 you can beat that,But if money is not an obstacle then you might want to invest in CH products,they also make excellent controllers,but your gonna pay a pretty penny too.Dont limit yourself to these 2 brands,look around and you will find.Hope I've helped my friend.:icon_supe

I have been flying sims for about 15 years(right after I came back from Kuwait.)And noticed that all flight sims vary when it comes to the deployment of flaps.It's not very clear to me,even after all these years,what it is that flaps do,some sims have them,some dont.But my concern is that sometimes(not often)I forget to lower my flaps before take off,and still manage to get the bird off the ground.Can an aircraft in real life take off without deploying the flaps?Im not a real pilot,however Im just curious as to what role flaps play in take off and landing.At what alttitude should I retract my flaps after take off.I mostly fly the SU-27 and 33. If anyone knows of a link or any tips it would really make things easier for me.One final question....how does one perform this "Cobra" maneuver???? In any case thanx a million guys:cool:

Please stop teasing.....:D

X-52 no problems of this nature. I read about the problem FF is having regarding the Zoom capabilities.I went and double checked that my X-52 I just bought last week is working properly.I tested from inside the cockpit (F-1 key.) and outside (F-2 and F-3 key.)and all checked out OK (ATI CAT. 6.2).I really dont know what could be wrong in your case,except that it's unique,this might take some research on your behalf(if you have the time and patience for such things)But I really do hope you find a solution quick, I could'nt imagine what I would do if i lost my zooming capabilities,i really need them.Again...GOOD LUCK and check six:icon_supe

Got it !!! Thanx a million guys, got this badboy working now...sweet.

I got my new x-52 yesterday and am still trying to configure it.I am trying to program the entire handle as the throttle,and NOT that little slider.Is it posible to do this???thanx in advance

I have downloaded a zip file which is the skin for a yellow mig29 that Im sure most of you have seen in these websites that have skins to download.This mig is giving me a hard time,Im using MODMAN to install all my skins I also am running Lock-on FC 1.12 Can anyone help me,I can install it with no problem but it doesnt show up on the game.I cant recall the website where I found this file but most of them have it,its a yellow/black mig29 that crashed in London in an airshow.

About a month or so ago I downloaded a winzip file that enabled the player to select the SU-30 and the cockpit that goes along with it,it worked just fine on my system,it had its own cockpit and it was not just a SU-33 with the SU-30 body.My problem is that a week ago I re-formatted my hard drive an forgot to make back-ups of all my files:mad: I cant seem to find the website where I found it,I saw other downloadable file pertaining to the same MOD,but its not the same,these have the cockpit of a SU-27.Does anyone have this file,or a link to where I might find it.Thanx much in advance

join the club... I have a ATI X800 XT and have the same problem,even with the Cat. 5.13

same here. Same here buddy, I got a ATI Radeon X800 XT (256mb).This even happens with the new Cat. 5.13

I am currently using MODMAN to manage my aircraft skins.Some how I lost my default graphic settings.I lost the red star and the aircraft i.d. numbers as well.I tried the "Restore graphic settings" but that didnt work.After searchin for a solution I found a zip file that restores your default settings,that worked pretty well,however I am still missing the numbers.I have white and blue stripes where the numbers use to be.I would hate to use my last install to fix this problem.The cd version is out of stock,so I have to watch my number of available installs left over.Any help is greatly appreciated:icon_wink

I was using ModMan to install my skin files.Now,my SU27's and 33's are missing the aircraft markers(In this case,the big red star) and I also lost the numbers as well (the id number...01, 02, etc.) I tried everything suggested by the programmer,plus re-installation,no help there.Are there any files I can replace in order to fix this ? I only have 1 re-install of FC left:icon_frow Can anyone help ? thanx a million guys !!:icon_jook
