Perhaps you are losing radar lock. Make a track?

no

I thought it was just me. Has anyone with no mods installed had this (I originally suspected it to be related to teka's moon mod)?

You could avoid it and learn by click-n-see, but I think you may progress more slowly :D Ooh look at all them switches...mm

Ive had that a lot where I cannot re-lock a jamming bandit at close range. I had assumed it was because it was moving around on my hud too quickly and i was locking where it was a second ago. Ive also had it where I cannot lock a higher alt, low aspect target with radar at close range (~10km) - jamming or not.

Mg29C = Mig29S Dont know about mig29a skins though, they wouldnt work.

Some here http://www.lockonskins.co.uk/index.php?page=skins&offset=0&order=SKID&aid=4

Its generally black and white. If they are jamming then wait until burnthough to fire if unsure. If they are not then you can tell if they are freind or foe. Also, be careful of what you are doing with ARH missiles, as they will track anything.

Yup its what I have but its days are numbered. The trim thing is annoying and its unusable in turbulence as it really hurts. I think the gun thing is a realism thing - you shouldnt feel the cannon firing even in IL2, nevermind a modern jet. Well, like I say its about had it with an X52 on its way this december :) *But* I will REALLY miss FF and the ability to 'feel' your way around the flight envelope, especially in the AFMs. Regarding trim, if you respawn you can do it ok, so I just eject early on and recover if I want to trim - although trim is completely new to me as I only discovered this bug recently, so im used to flying without it and have wrists of steel :P

Since 1.11 classifying loadouts does not lock the payload. Which is good. But the loadouts should be limited in such a way as to prevent LOPE-ing such as with the su25t payloads.

Excellent to see you are using a randomizer!

I dont think that its supposed to shake when you fire cannon/missile etc, but I have one of those sticks - you might find you cannot trim unless you respawn. Dont know why.

Nice one Goya. Think Ill wait to see if someone else hosts it, I cant use that site. edit: http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=87&lid=408&title=F-15%20TWS%20Tutorial%20track#dldetails

I think it would be limited online - most players will see and expect the launch, once they see the missile trail with no launch warning, they will pop flares and throttle back & your et is wasted and you are likely dead. Its great for following on a radar shot though, since the target often will not be head on and will be less likely to see the trail.

If you lose lock on (eg) a beaming target EOS takes over if in range. In the left edge of the HUD you will see A and T, meaning an EOS lock but radar has lost the target.

Yes :D If you are in BVR mode pressing I will turn on radar and EOS will assist it. There is no need to activate EOS manually. In WVR modes if your radar is off you will be using EOS only, if you press I radar will assist, if you press O you will turn off EOS and I have no idea why you can. The best thing to do to understand this would be to watch the symbols on the left of the HUD (they are in the manual and th symbol depend on wether you are using cryllic hud or not).

EOS and radar work together, but doing what you are referring to is not how to do it. If you put your radar on and lock up a bandit, the EOS is already on, so you can launch an ET when the missile has a heat signature to chase. If you 'turn eos on' (ie turn radar off) your SARH missile will go ballistic.

Nope

Check out the key commands doc in the lockon/docs folder. It has a LOT of view commands that people do not realise exist.

That is strange that the key commands are missing. Perhaps someone with an unedited key commands file should post it here, so you could replace yours and see if it works. But, with the starforce thing, i'd say re-install

Ctrl-L :) Bet you have it on your hotas eh? Dave, if you are haing problems with tyre shredding on touchdown, keep the flare so the NW is in the air on the tarmac for a while, then put it down/let it drop gently. I had the same problem.

If you do that you stand a very good chance of shooting down a freindly. Lock up and close-in, then whwn you are in a position to fire a good shot, put radar on. You get no IFF warning in EOS - everything is a 'bandit'.

Sticky it? Or put it in the Dedicated server thread?

Yes its a must! Not enough people use the TS servers! Only really the 'natives' and a handful of brave people will go on them. Whats the point of them being there when you spend half your time either flying alone or trying to type n fly all at once! :P Its supposed to be a team game and you just cannot communicate enough by chat msg. I think a lot of people would learn a lot from sqauds too.
