Nice and very professional. I know everyone was sitting there like I was, saying, just fire the damn Vikhr!:megalol:

OMG! A-10C! I know that a lot of people have said this, but I love you guys! I feel safe to know that there is a chance! Also, BTW, not that it matters, but DCS looks like it is shaping up to just be a redo of Lockon. To me it all just seems kinda the same, but better!

Thanks man, thats a keeper.

I hope to be on Sunday for a bit!

It has been fun guys! Hope that you like it, and cannot wait to get back online this summer after school and really fly the crap outa this model online!

ED will be modelling the A-10A, not the C, due to the fact that there is some classified information. I beleive that an F-16 is in store. I think once they are finished with DCS, or what not they will do one. Or atleast lets put it this way, I remember that before DCS had been conjured up I heard talks if it going something like... Ka-50, A-10A, Apache, SU-25t, tank killers, then an f-16. I dont exactly remember, I just recall the f-16 being somewhere in there near the end.

Well, no one has tested it with 1.02, that is all I know.

Haha, never heard the term paint barn. That deserves some rep. Paint barn... I Luv it!

How are you guys enabling Anti-aliasing in lockon?

nice, thanks man.

What is the image on the schval tv mean?

That and pain killers. :joystick::D

Holy Moses peoples, I mention Crysis and everyone goes crazy. I am not, have never, and hope that I never contend Lockon be as good as any other sim out there. Maybe I should not have mentioned Crysis, but instead maybe FSX, or some other new game. All the new games have awesome lighting and shadows in it! I am telling you that this is what really made the difference FOR ME! I was just sayin that having these shadows I though would really be a pleasure. BTW, I know that Crysis is a FPS. I am not an idiot because I know that a DX9 Sim that uses a really old engine cannot, will not, and most importantly should not have to compete against a DX10 sim. Hell, they are almost different markets. HeHe, you just don't know what you are missing. :) JK

I don't speak for anyone but myself, and atleast then and now I am still serious about it. I would not say that I am "fussing" over it though, and if some think that I am, I am not trying to be. It is just the one thing that I think really adds to the atmosphere is lighting, and I beleive that these specific shadows play a big part in that. I know that we do not have an engine that can realistically compete with a game like Crysis graphically, but that doesn't mean we cannot shoot for what is possible.

Actually, now that you bring that up, that is really the only thing that I can think of that would really make it even better. That would be very immersive!

Very cool!

Well, you guys ought to consider yourselves lucky. I mean, we almost decided to trash the model and instead work on a new Cessna 172. Shees. People these days...

Dude, had to add this to my growing Glowing Amraam folder on my harddrive!

looks alright with me.

Actually, I had a thought. I thought that possibly we might be able to sit into those positions, much like we would be able to exit the blackshark when we land. I dont think we would be able to do much, but it might be a perk. I get that feeling cause it seems like some of the shots show this, especially the one Grimes posted. It seems you can see the back shoulder of the guy sitting at the side gun, much like you or I would see if we were sitting in that spot. And I know that many will say that a date can not be set, but if 1C is the official distributor, than is the Q2 release real at all? Also if this is the case of using 1C, what game protection have they used in the past?

awesome. I love hearing all the new news.

It is possible, but not probable. That would be like having 10,000 BMPs sprawled out over the terrain that you are flying over. In this engine, it would take way to much computing power that practically everyone's computer would die. I hope to explore the chance though that in the near future of putting these kind of trees that you are talking about into the game, so that way maybe mission builders can put a few of the trees around the way points and airbases, so that way people are on their toes when they fly next to these areas in the black shark.

Not to be rude, but I could also say that I don't believe you. I think that sofrash is just trying to make a post, and he even mentioned that this stuff is public domain, no need to harp at him for something he said first. Frankly, I think people need to get over the "biased opinions". Everyone is going to be biased, and they will think that only their opinions matter. Well sad reality, yes, I am sure to some extend that sofrash was a little biased. But isn't ED being biased to some form? Yes maybe they were paid to model the KA-50, but they were choose it over what others wanted. This is like one of these statements - My opinion is that people are to opinionated.

To my knowledge I thought that there was a way to move the position of the afterburners, but I cannot remember who did it and how. Also, I beleive what KYS did was make a new 3d model for the afterburner, although I could be wrong there too.

Where can i get the template, seems to be down at Lockonfiles.
