Cockpit interaction in future addons
Gazehound replied to aimmaverick's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
I agree partly - I dont want to click pits with my mouse, it too fiddly and part of the reason I cannot get into falcon. Fo rme it detracts from- rather than adds-to the immersion. Im pressing buttons on my keyboard, thats more like pressing buttons in a pit than dragging a mouse round a desk is. But most people REALLY want the feature, and I suppose we should see it for that reason. As long as you can smoothly pan your helo cockpit still. -
I dont know, it just reminds me of one, the 4-6th shots in particular. Maybe its the palms :icon_jook

Looks like a golf game :D Very nice

No dont do that, get some more activations from ED.

Thanks guys! I forgot I'd even asked that :D

This happened to me I thought it was due to me installing shepski's mod

Hosting server; clients get Waiting for Server
Gazehound replied to pappavis's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
That should happen until you unpause the mission, are you doing that? -
COOL! I want one, next to my house, so when those damned 747 passenger planes come past on finals... Noise abatement :)

Some things that *should* be in V1.11+
Gazehound replied to D-Scythe's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
Im finding that *with AI* AMRAAM wielding eagles regularly beat Su27s which are set to a harder difficulty. The 27s typically fire around 4 27ers each in a 2vs2, and they rarely hit - if a 27 kills an eagle its a heater usually. The eagles are firing about 2 amraams each. Some community made frog missions are fairly unplayable now as your 'excellent' su27 cap gets shredded by a pair of average eagles. I edited one to add another pilot to the cap flight and they got beat again, so I edited it again and just removed the enemy CAP. The point is - if you have proved that SAR are more effective than AR (which im sure you have, although you do not say under what conditions) , can you explain these results? If in the future the relative efficacy of SAR and AR missiles is altered due to your findings, what do you think it will do the problem above? Further, since the patch I find I am shooting human targets much more with heaters simply because my AR *AND* SAR are performing much less well due to the new notch gate characteristics (russian planes). -
Astounding! Man that is one great movie.

You would think so, but playing through some community a2g missions Ive noticed excelent flanker being CAPs being fried by average eagle ones.

Tunguskas shooting down Mavericks?
Gazehound replied to S77th-GOYA's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
You can fly at an excellent TOR/OSA, NOE on flat ground and punch it in the face. Of course im talking a10 here :) Flying NOE is very effective against these, and since you can split s from about 500m (im guessing there) in a hog to the weeds in seconds, you can dodge anything they throw at you - either by terrain masking behind a molehill or as Goya said, leading the missile into the ground. Or outrunning it. -
1. A bug you should be very aware of if you use FBP - if you fly a FBP and opt to save it either after or before flying, it will SAVE OVER the last mission you had open (unless of course you fly it immediately after opening LO). Even if you spent like 5 hours making something, it just dosent care :rolleyes: 2. You cannot record a track from the FBP launch screen. You have to save the FBP and open it as a regular mission. Guess how I found out about (1) :D careful! 3. The payloads are sometimes daft for a2g missions. Smoke rockets? If I select SEAD and MISSILES with an Su25T I want there to be some chance of getting AR missiles, especially if I put patriots in; 'Mixed' could use some missiles. I want to get in an a10 and select missiles and have more than 4 agm65k, especially if i put a lot of units in. If someone knows how to edit the payloads generated, let me know. (im thinking meinit) 4. You can change to all four seasons, but only in 'VS aeroplane' mode. If you go against Helo's, ground units, or ships you can only pick winter or summer. 5. If you make use of the 'area selector' feature in 'head to head' (eg to move it to the caucas because it never goes there on its own), you will always be behind enemy jets when you spawn.

Thats what I was thinking, but even if it does not - all you (well, the server admin) would have to do to generate new permutations for all the LMR missions on rotation, is open the app and click a button - it re-randomizes an editable list of all randomized missions! So even if we couldnt get dedmac to execute it automatically each day it could just be done manually now and then v easily.

Mp missions would be cool, (as mp missions too!). Do you have a site to D/L from? If not ill pm my email. Im half way thru making a SP base defence frenzy ill send ya, but I keep getting slowed down by having fun flying it! Folks: If you are prepared to spend the time (1/2 hr) understanding this and tweaking a mission, you will love this app! :D:icon_excl

Theres no need to use loman at all. Uninstall in loman, and manually paste the files into ..../missions/su-33/carrierops (or something) from the original .zip

Just started playing about with it. Looks absolutely awesome. Anyone got any missions made for it?

Tunguskas shooting down Mavericks?
Gazehound replied to S77th-GOYA's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
Ah c'mon. Its still easier by several lightyears to take out a bunch of defended targets with a mav wielding A10. Im talking stability agility, acceleration climb rate and lack of AFM. You tried flying NOE in a fully loaded T? Add to that the ordanance limitations on the Su25T - you can have 2 tv guided missiles that only work in the day on stationary targets, perhaps include some laser guided stuff which is not exactly launch and leave, and maybe some AR missiles which are pretty useless against strelas avengers and iglas..... Compared with the point and click and split S maverick/a10 combo :icon_roll -

I can't fly well without FF, It tells you where the limit of your envelope is. I dont use it for IL2 because it makes gun shooting double difficult as the planes and views shake anyway. I would vote ff for immersion and control - not some fancy RL replica. -
Su25T Campaign/MissionPack - Adler Secured
Gazehound replied to ZoomBoy27's topic in User Created Missions General
Technically yes, but since the AI and missile logic has changed, the 'excellent' russian CAP in Zoomboy's missions and campaigns often gets beat by a smaller number of 'average' eagles. If you dont want to fly 100km to get shot down unprotected by an eagle, take the enemy cap out or put about 5 flankers in where there were previously 2.
