Thx, awesome.

Does it work with any unit, or just radar guided AA?

@ cueceleches - The behaviour would depend on what the AI difficulty level of the units is set to. No ground units on average are actually capable of hitting an inbound ARM/AGM. Also it dictates the distance the unit can lock/fire upon you.

Its different for each plane. Put in 100000000 or something in the editor and it will automatically select that planes ceiling (same w/ speed). I suppose foxhounds can go highest or maybe RBTs.

An ewr just sat unguarded is not likely...so you dont have to fly thru an enemy cap/aa area.

ECM does not go thru terrain [edit] On the russian radar thing; I have not noticed a diference - but then I use the azimuth(?) properly anyway.

It is much harder to maintain a lock on a target lower than you, beaming pretty much always works, unless you get below the bandit. (doh, misread post, nvm still on topic)

Are you flying classified missions?

Perhaps you should give it a more gentle slope, rather than set the first wp on the runway and the second at max alt. Take it up to 8k, go level, then climb again...etc etc, all at max speed (just guessing here).

Ok this is still a problem. My lua still says height = 95, so it must be something else. I get about 1 in 3 messages.

Currently running 2.1, do I have to uninstall 2.1 to install 5? And do I have to uninstall or reinstall my mods, or are they automatically 'inherited' by the newer version :S

Found a link to it, mp3 or wav. http://www.qsl.net/ka8vit/sd/SHOOTDN2.wav http://www.qsl.net/ka8vit/sd/SHOOTDN2.MP3 transcript http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=45232

No video, but I have an mp3 of 2 f14s vs 2 MiG (21s?) over libya. Its awesome because you hear all the radio from the US side and you can really feel the tension. (BTW both Libyans ejected). I will try to find where I got it from...

So you select a plane, select a payload and click fly.. Then what happens? Use 128/128 settings to connect (switch the knob from 'player' to 'connect' when lock-on opens). Also, make sure you are running the same version of lockon. Most servers are 1.11, some appear with 1.02 occasionally. Look for ping by clicking the green bars to the right of the server names.

What happens? What ping do you get in hyperlobby? What speed are you connecting at?

There is a mission on the server which has Molinya class frigates, they dont have sams, just AAA (although it is radar guided). I imagine you were going over freindly ones after leaving kerch?

This has been a bug for a while now. I thought it was well known. Before 1.1 it was all sams, since then it is ships occasionally. I have had it on Jabogs' server a long while ago, as well as 504....it is quite alarming to lift off the Kuz and then be nailed by its escort! If you die and respawn it will go away, and someone told me once that asking for takeoff clearance stops it....but of course the bug is so intermittent that you can never test it well.

Jason...they nerfed russion CAC too, you can see the target before you can lock it now.

Heres one for the MiG29 as an example http://pages.sbcglobal.net/psyanide/mig.htm

Stingers shoot at KH29Ts, is that supposed to happen?

Yeah that works now thanks mate!

Thx wolverine ill try it with height = 95

Thats the height line you are talking about? What should it say? I know that that is to blame when you have messagescoming right down the screen.

I have had this bug for some time now, before 1.11. When I am in a multiplayer game I mostly do not get the kill/land messages (when permitted) or the chat messages. They sometimes DO appear, and I can read then if I go to a message mode but this is useless as I cant just keep checking this to see if someone has chatted to me. I was hoping that I could see something in the config.lua file that would be doing this, and I was hoping that 1.11 would fix it - but no joy. Is there something I can do besides re-install? EDIT: I have this in config.lua: chat { height = 55; delay = 10000;

Ill miss being able to lock on something I can see with Russian WVR modes too! Ah well.
