Thanks Pirao but I have seen different results to that also. I've had the mp_log rotate after each mission start without restarting the lockon.exe. Dredd you've played with it a bit, have you got any info?

From past experience I always thought mp_log.txt was reset / rotated at the launch of every mission. Testing I'm doing tonight seems to prove otherwise. Does anybody know the exact event that causes rotation? Thanks!

I find rudder very useful for getting things lined up.

Agg I didn't hear anybody say that FighterOps would be flawless.

A buddy of mine is a beta tester for MS FSX. Said the beta is like a slide show an they having all sorts of issues. Hopefully this is a new build with some performance fixes.

What about an IRC style chat service with game launch features already described in this thread?

Nice one G! :)

Hyperlobby is pretty decent for what it does (when its up), though I can think of a few features I'd add if I was the developer. Server view features: Auto detect game version Display current mission file Icon if server has homepage clickable to URL Icon if server has stats enabled clickable to stats URL Statistics: Allowance for non-spamming channel bots. These would either respond to private message commands like !score etc and respond with PM. Alternatively you could possibly attach a channel bot feature the server view. Right click the server / get scores. And the list could go on. Anybody else have suggestions? :pilotfly:

Actually strangely enough it turns out that the following is true: HDG=360-(57.3*HSI.Compass) I also found anomolies with the LUA exports for IAS. For example when travelling at 970kmh IAS (mig29 HUD), my LUA export said I was doing 271knots. When doing 800 on the HUD, LUA said 224knots. Fortunately the difference is a constant division, so I got it working, but its still very very strange. I cant figure out whether if in my current tired state I am missing something blatantly obvious.

I wonder what those strange depressions are in between the coast and the upper most parking areas.

Yah voice comms is good, but quite often if your not in a squad you wont be talking to those your flying with. I kind of didnt mention the main reason for writing it, and that's for dedicated servers. Also, I'm working on a switch like this: lockonmsg.exe /stat Which would send the following to your team: 42SF-Dodger: ALT = 32, IAS = 0, Hdg = 357 It hooks up via local LUA. The above example is a LUA export of that data whilst sitting in the parking area. The ability to say press a F1 and have that sent would really heap team situational awareness. Hey Jessi, did you have lockon running? The version you have wouldnt check to see if its running. The latest version (which I havent posted) does that check first.

Hmm 106.5 + 253.5 = 360... a back bearing possibly..

I have my Mig29 flying along at 254 degrees on the compass. My LUA export which is exporting each frame to ensure its current data: local HSI = LoGetControlPanel_HSI() io.write(string.format("ALT = %.0f, IAS = %.0f, ADF = %.0f RMI = %.0f, Compass = %.0f\n", altBar, IAS, 57.3*HSI.ADF, 57.3*HSI.RMI, 57.3*HSI.Compass)) The compass value is coming back as: 106.5 Anybody shed some light on this?

Hey everyone, I got tired of having to type things like "buddy spike" when I'm busy in Lockon. I created a small utility so you can script your commands. You could attach them to function keys or something. This utility will likely become part of the Touch-Buddy application shortly, but you can also use it standalone. http://www.touch-buddy.com/downloads/lockonmsg.rar lockonmsg5.rar MD5: 0426b034fd8b2380b408d2fc8418c4a8 Version: 0.91 Size: 113KB Usage: lockonmsg.exe /a (all) /t (team) "message" Example: lockonmsg.exe /a "s! all" Note: If your message contains spaces, the message must be enclosed in "".

I boutht the CH pedals, plugged em in, did about two circuits and they've been gathering dust ever since. I think you cant expect too much for the price, but they feel very cheap and way too much deadzone. Dust eaters... anyone want to buy mine? :(

Reviving this one from the depths. Does anybody have a screenshots of any F4Glass exported dash / MFD info for Lockon? Regards, Dodger

Hey all, Is there anyway to calculate the number of ground units from a .mis file? I don't need code or anything, but I've been reading the .mis files a little and didn't really see anything reliable. Would be a huge help to simplifying a mod I am making for all :)

We'd love to see that Ruggbutt :) Fingers crossed.

BUMP. Not many days left. If you want to win a touchscreen, head over to our website to check out the competition details. Regards, Dodger

Problem with water that good is you'd get shot down by a bandit while hovering above the water staring at its' beauty. Cant be too many more years before we see this stuff for real though.

RAAF lost an F/A-18 and pilot due to a birdstrike just after takeoff not many years ago. Check this out: http://wildlife.pr.erau.edu/Pictures3.htm Though this deerstrike is probably Santas worst nightmare: ** Removed pic as it was a bit graphic.

Yeah you could use a crossover, no problem.

I suggest posting something in the forums here: http://www.touch-buddy.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2 Though TB does not support Linux as such, you may find that Zorlac is interested in finding the cause of the issue. :)

Wow, thats strange. I wonder which change caused that. Did 1.0.0 work fine in Wine?

I run the opening theme song to Hunt for Red October :)
