veit, turn Full shadow to off or active planar. I own an ATI Radeon 9550 and I got 8-12fps when landing on the carrier with full shadow is on. But when I set shadow = active planar, I got better fps: 43 fps (res 1024x768) on the carrier deck. Full shadow stresses VGa too much

I’ve ever tried a non-flyable aircraft - RAF Tornado and found a shadow bug (Full shadow mode). Yep, a shadow bug of Tornado has been found when I rolled it under the sunshine: shadow wasn’t accurate, I couldn’t see shadow of fin or weapons on his fuselage or wings while he was rolling. He looked no any shadow except a bold line turned around his fuselage (from nose to nozzle), everything shades Tornado fuselage just a bold line. You can try by installing “all flyable aircrafts” mod for FC 1.12a and then choose Tornado

Yep, me too. She looks so hot.

Sorry for not speak english well, plz forgive my grammar mistakes First, thank for your replies. At the beginning of the mission, you’ll see all aircrafts flying in chaotic state but it’s my intention, I want you guys meet with a bit difficulties before approaching the tanker so checkpoints was made close together. @ HqPL : Yep, air refueling is not a simple business for everyone especially at the first time. If you never do it before, it’s really difficult but if you’ve only once succeeded you’ll find this business much easier at the next times. I know Irondhand’s site and I also have downloaded Ironhand’s movie named “Refuelling Hose and Drogue” guide how to refuel for SU-33 in the air but my English is very bad so I really don’t understand anyword he said in his video (he speaks too fast, hardly for me to understand), just watch the movie and guess what he was doing or take a look at the SU-33 dashboard to know which indicators is on. But you need more tricky to refuel SU-33 so I highly recommend you should practise refuelling on F-15C first. Now I need 10-15 mins to complete refuelling for the SU-33 only. And this is my way (air refuelling instruction for the Russian Naval SU-33): You must remember there’re 2 useful buttons on you keyboard to do this work: + Button J - Toggle auto Throttle (this function’ll synchronize velocity of the SU-33 with the tanker) + Button H – Toggle auto altitude stabilizer _ First, define the tanker’s position in the air, go round behind him then open your SU-33’s refuelling boom (to demand tanker releases refuelling drogues) and go straight to the tanker from behind. _ Next, RF #2 at the center will be selected by default, you can choose any of three drogues you want to refuel by pressing button “~” on your keyboard to change. in my screenshot below, I chose RF #1 on the left wing of the IL-78M. At first time, I think you guys will choose RF 2 under fuselage because the IL-78M fuselage is very big and you’ll feel easier than refuelling at drogues under wings because they look very small, very difficult to focus on. If you want to refuel at wings, just change RF 2 into RF 1 or RF 3 by pressing “~”, if you don’t do that you can’t refuel. _ Next step, let’s approach the target: First, the IL-78M is now at altitude of 1995m, velocity = 500kmph (452) so you must pilot your plane to altitude of 1990m and then press H to stabilize altitude automatically, maximum angle between aircraft daturn and horizon line should be at 3-5 degree. At a distance of about 200-300 metres, slowly adjust throttle button on joystick to 455 or 460, slowly go to the drogue. If you don’t know how much is enough, look at this: pay attention to small picture, the refuelling drogue should be at the middle of the cockpit area or Sometimes you may fly underneath the drogue and see it above plane’s canopy, it’ll look LIKE THIS: Use J button to synchronize your plane velocity with tanker’s. Slowly go higher drogue position, then pilot your plane to the drogue slowly, refuelling pipe will shorten and drogue’ll attract the refuelling boom automatically. You must remember: should turn Auto Throttle on out of refuelling pipe’s range or as position in above photo (take a look at velocity and altitude in red circle), Auto Throttle doesn’t work if the IL-78M’s drogue caught the refuelling boom. Wait for a few minutes and now, finally your plane is full of fuel and the FUEL MAX indicator is on. Look at the top left of the screen, an information “DISCONNECT NOW” will be displayed and you can terminate refuelling process. HOPE YOU UNDESTAND AND ENJOY MY INSTRUCTION CHEER!

Hi guys, I'll give all of you a tip tomorrow, you guys will find this business's more simple as you thought HqPL: This business (air refuelling) took me 2-3 hours to complete at first time, I also have a cheap Joystick too (Gravis Xterminator Dualcontrol), it costs $20

I don't think so, Russian planes always display in meters, not feet. At that time, I took off from Kuz (30m above sea level) and went to 2000m (2km) to refuel so I'm sure that my wingman went to 111km

Yep, it's possible. You just change the last waypoint of Hornet and Tomcat from CVN-70 to Kuznetsov, they'll land on the Kuz. But remember, CVN-70 can carry 14-15 planes on the deck and 10 planes for Kuznetsov

Nope, it's in FC 1.12a, I'm now playing this version

I have a question want to ask everyone: How can I find the enemy or allied squadrons via their co-ordinate ? Eg: Suppose I’m now at the co-ordinate of C: 44o35’20’’N 34o32’05’’E (in Lock On), I know N is North and E is East but how can I read the co-ordinate exactly if I want to find any aircraft at other co-ordinates. If I know my enemy or another allied plane such as E-2C Hawkeye at 45o20’21”N 33o25’44”E and he’s out of my plane’s radar range, how can I find him via his co-ordinate ? How many kilometre is 1 degree (eg 44oN to 45oN )

Wow, let’s have a look at the bottom of these below pictures. My squad with 3 SU-33s took off from Kuznetsov carrier with 60% fuel quantity and then I commanded my wingmen went refuelling but they didn’t do it, they performed many loops to climb over 110.000 metres at 330kmph. I thought at altitude of 110km none any missiles could harm them and if I continue to wait, they might go to 1000km or higher with invariable speed of 330kmph without out of fuel. Is it a bug ?? And another bug: no pilot in cockpit, ladder and aprons aren't removed

Very well but I love the Su-27's blue-white skin, where can I get that skin ?

Xuantam (aka Majesco) from Vietnam brings you guys a new training mission for Su-33. My second mission is 3 in 1, US and Russia are allied so you can practise refueling for both SU-33 and F-15 or doing carrier landing only in one mission and it is also my gift offer everyone who love carrier landing as well as US naval pilots, the most interesting is at the last waypoint almost planes will land on the USS Carl Vinson (but I don’t know why 3 of 4 F/A-18 landed at the airbase, only one landed on the carrier), you should be patient if you want to see SU-33, F-14, F/A-18, E-2C, S-3 squads land on the CVN-70. I hope you guys enjoy it ! Tip: There’re lots of planes in this mission and they’ll lower fps quite much, if you have an old VGA or you assume your rig is not strong, you should be the first plane on the CVN-70 and then you guys can see how others land. I have an ATI Radeon 9550 and when the number of planes reach to the limits, I got 4-5 fps. Moreover, the carrier carry 14-15 planes on its deck only, if the number of planes exceed the limits all planes on the deck will be disappear except yours to give up their place to the others. Plz go to Lockonfiles tomorrow

Nice shots! Iguanaking, do you work with F-15E ? if you can, please give me some high quality photos of the F-15E cockpit, I love it Thank in advance

I didn't remember, you should look for it on ...hmmm....Lockonfiles or Lockonskins.co.uk . I think it's only compatible with LOMAC 1.02

I have found a bug in F-15 cockpit when installing the F-15D two seat trainer mod (network mod) and its rear seat mod for Flaming Cliffs v1.12a, it’s not compatible for FC. Take a view at this picture below you can see it looks like I’m sitting at the rear seat. It’s a bit strange and at first I did’t know why it looked like that though they have been uninstalled, finally I discovered I could retake default visual effects by removing all files of F-15D trainer mod an Rear seat mod out of the list. Really strange because it effected on the game though adding to the list only without installation. Similar problem doesn’t happen to SU-27UB Trainer mod and rear seat mod.

The new Mig-29's fuel tank 1500l on my computer look like this: half in real color and half in black I don't know why, does anyone know why ? I got similar problem with Walmis' AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-7M Sparrow model mod, full in black

Me too, I also dislike FS2004 ground textures but see the photo 2, it's nice and if it will be replace the medium or low water texture in LO that's great. You know, low water texture of LO looks not good

Formerly, someone has made a water mod for Lock On, it was a mod for Low water setting and the same as water texture of FS2004 so I hope these textures will be modify to replace the medium-high or very high water settings of Flaming Cliffs. Take a look at below pictures you will certainly find they look quite realistic. If anybody know how to do and intend to replace it for default water texture of Lock On please go to http://www.surclaro.com , sign up a free account and then search the library with phrases for downloading: _ Waterenv.zip – mod real stream flow for all seas, rivers, canals. _ aawater20.zip – mod real water effects Mod stream flow Realistic water effects

I’ve just made a new refuelling mission for the SU-33. In this training mission we have: _ 4 Sukhoi-33s devided into 2 squadrons with 30% of fuel _ 2 tankers IL-78M _ All of them escorted by another armed Su-27 squadron with full of fuel The mission starts in the afternoon at 16:10 p.m the sky looks quite clear with several clouds drift at 5000m, windspeed is 0 mps so if you guys are patient you can see the afternoon little by little change into sunset. Just a training day of air refuelling of Russian Airforce, no any conflict. It has been uploading to Lockonfiles Note: I hope my new refuelling mission is good for all VGA because the framerate always reach from 40 to over 55 on my ATI Radeon 9550 with power of 9600XT (overclocked) with antialiasing = 4X, anisotropic filtering = 8X, RAM 1GB, P4C-2.6Ghz and LO’s medium-high settings Training_Su-33_Refueling_v2.rar

It's now in my HDD, i'm preparing to upload. Let me some days, I have no internet connection at home, always go to internet services

Hello ! I’m from Vietnam, my favourite color is green and I made two Green Camo skins for SU-27/SU-30 and SU-33. Usually, almost skin makers know the usage of some professional graphic editors such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw....but i’m an exception, I don’t know anything, have no any knowledge about them. What I’m going to tell here possibly make all of you a bit surprise. I made two skin with 3 very simple photo editors only: _ Windows Paint _ IrfanView v3.98 - a free picture viewer _ Paint.NET v2.72 – free simple photo editor As you know, three of them cannot compare with a prof editor such as Adobe Photoshop. At first, I didn’t intend to make a new skin. Actually, the skin is not mine, the original was SU-27 Xtreme Rosy skin. I have no any expreriences about how to make a new skin, no template of any aircraft skin, nobody helps me, just a curiosity. This’s the first time and what I did based on some another skins. _ With first skin, the original was full of light pink and rosy so I made by changing color with RGB convertor and then I had a new skin in full of green with did some things more to convert green color at Su-27’s nose and on top of the tail into white. _ With the second skin, green color in back is preserved, space underneath the plane and under main wing are in grey and dark brown. I had a bit difficulty with this, the original templet has no border to discriminate which area ‘s main wing, which’s fuselage or space underneath... So I must use Windows Paint to draw borders and then use Paint.NET’s Magic Wand to determine areas need to apply color to. They took me about 14-15 hours to do How do you feel about them ? Anyone like green color and want to download them ? Here's pics: This's the original SU-27 Xtreme Rosy: And these're mine:

I don't know too but i recommend you should give your question to ED team, they'll help to do it

Cosmonault, install Canopy with no scratches.zip from lockonfiles will give you better fps in cockpit, it'll remove all scratches and may double fps in all plane's cockpit only
