ok thank you

ALT key is or isnt it, sorry you said hasn't and im not sure if that means it hasnt been assigned or if that is it, sorry.

Hello all, the FC keyboard layout says the command for changing to TWS/RWS mode is ALT-I, i have it set on my joy but it only turns on and off my radar, anyone know what setting turns changes these. Thanks all.

Ohhh Ok input folder and also config i suppose?

I remember i had to delete a file in the config folder named trackir to get it to work and i did that but it still does not work. I have the latest trackir with vector. It worked one time when i first started the game, now everytime i go into my game it does not work, any ideas? thanks all.

How many here still fly the Eagle online? I remember when I flew for a long time online the F-15 120's were not the best and people fired many at a time to get kills. Could you Eagle flyers tell me a little about the F-15 online these days and some tactics. Thanks

Ok i got it now, wow it has been a long time. Thanks

Were could i find a printable keyboard layout for FC, this way i can use it for programming my stick, thanks all.

Ok still having a little problem, mate you say to check to match the keystrokes in the lockon options with those in the joystick profiler, should i match them under the keyboard or jpystick option in lockon? it has been a long time since i played and i forgot nearly everything, been a hard year for me. Any help would be great.

Yes that helps alot and i think that is my problem, the keystrokes part not matching, it has been a while since i played regularly and i forgot i need to check on those keystrokes, thanks for the help.

Hello KonKussion, yes i selected my joystick only and left keyboard commands alone.

Ok i instaled my x-52 and also the SST software and drivers. Then i downloaded a profile from lockonfiles site, placed the profile in the saitek/sst program folder like it says to, then started my sst software, opened the profile and it was there, then i right clicked on the little joystick button on the bottom right of my computer and selected the correct profile. Then i started Lockon, cleared all input for view,flight,combat except i set my pitch, roll and rudder to my stick, then went to play and there was nothing, no profile controls or anything, the only thing that worked was my pitch, roll and rudder, but no profile at all. My joystick showed the profile was loaded in the throttle window with the lights but in game i had no profile what so evver, any ideas. Is that right, that i had to clear all the inputs under flight, combat and view? or should i leave it all at default.

it says to put addons in the addons fc folder, what do i put in there if my addon has 2 files, one is sound folder and the other is like addon.lma3. When i put the lma3 file into the addonsfc folder in modman, it does not show up when i hit add in modman and go to the folder?

mine says mod installer not addon manager?

Been a long time since i played and i just installed modman6.3. ?? the newsest version from lockonfiles. I forgot how to use it though , well it is a little different from the one i used over a year ago, so how do i instal mods. I want to instal a sound mod but dont know how or were to put it exactly, any help, thanks all.

Thanks for the info, what is the best Soundmod to use for Lockon, i used to use archers a long time ago but is there one that stands out now that most use for all kinds of sounds?? What is the difference between 1.12a and 1.12b which is for windows?

Well it has been a long time since i posted on here and flown as well. I decided i want to get my Lockon game going again and i have a few questions for you guys. First what is news on B.S.. Were can i download the latest patch for lockon flaming cliffs Is online play still filled with E.C.M. jammers everywere I lost my x-52 disk so i downloaded the driver from saitek, it placed it in my windows temp folder for some reason and it does not contain the sst program anywere, does anyone know how to help me with this situation, i went to the saitek sight and cant get a hold of anyone there on the forum nor did i find the SST software program anywere to download, any ideas. Thanks guys im sure i will need more help to get back started again, thanks.

1 on 1 yes it can be done quite easily, but, with everyone jamming it becomes very difficult. It sure seems that no one has ever picked up the manual for Lockon and read anything, i constantly see messages for very simple questions filling up the chat and it makes me laugh and wonder what FPS game they are coming from, o well i still love to see new names online and hope they will look up a few of their questions before they fly.

This is a quote from a very old post about the jammer, please new people read this and learn some things about use of jammer, some will agree or disagree with what is said here, but, it is simply to get you all used to what jamming does, thanks."The jammer is an active emmission that can be seen on your radar scope. Using it advertises your presence from much longer ranges that you could normally hope to detect a target. You will see a jamming target even with your radar in standby. You don't need to emmit a signal intended to bounce back from him. Your radar can detect the signal he's emmiting all by itself. A radar signal is nothing more than a noise ping which has a frequency and a wavelength. A jammer trys to match the frequency and wavelength but at 180 degrees phase thus cancelling out the signal, but the jammer signal itself is a perfect source for your radar to detect. You may not wish to use your jammer at long ranges because of this factor, but you'll probably wish to use it once you are sure that he knows you're there. You'll want to do this BEFORE he spikes or locks you. I disagree that a jammer should be used only when you are hard spiked. By then it's often too late. If he spikes or bugs you, he's got altitude, range, bearing, aspect and course on you and can use this information to his advantage. He may have already fired a missile. Once the radar has locked on to you and all the power of the attack radar is focused on you, it's harder for the jammer to break the lock than it is for the jammer to prevent the lock in the first place. Very often, once locked, turning the jammer on will not break the lock, but again it depends on range, aspect and other variables which you'll have to be flexible in assessing when to use your jammer. Let me outline a simple scenario. I don't always do it this way as there are some neat tricks and games you can play, especially if you have a human wingman, but lets assume a standrad sort of engagement. In most cases, I'll be jammer off until I reach about 35/40 miles. Once I'm at this range, I can be pretty sure that the bandit knows I'm there. He'll be seeing my paint on his RWR and he'll also be able to see me on his radar so I'm not too worried at this stage about reavealing that I'm there. At this point I'll put my jammer on and leave it on (for now). What I'm trying to do now is deny him the ability to lock or bug me with his radar and deny him an early missile shot until I can close the range a bit to either get a bug/lock on him or get a higher Pk shot. If he allows me to bug him at 30 miles, I migh pop off an early slammer anyway, just to see if I can force a response from him. The Pk might be low but he may make a mistake that I can exploit when he sees theres a slammer inbound. Once I get close to the range I know that his radar will be able to burn through my jamming, I'll turn jammer off and leave it off. What I'm doing now is to prevent him from being able to fire a slammer or AA12 at me that will immediately go HOJ. If he gets a HOJ shot, he can turn and run away. I might not even get a shot at him, while I'm forced to deal with his missile. I'd rather do that to him than have it done to me! HOJ is modelled in the sim. One thing I've noticed is that if you leave jammer on a bit too late and get fired at HOJ, turning your jammer off at this point seem to have little effect on the inbound missile. I'm not sure this is true to life, but in the sim, a slammer or AA12 fired HOJ has a higher Pk, even if the jammer is subsequently turned off. I therefore prefer to play safe and turn the jammer off before I get fired on. There are many other considerations such as E-pole, D-Range, cranking after firing, notching to the beam, use of chaff, etc etc, but that sums up the use of the jammer "in a nutshell" - not much of a nutshell since it's quite complex! Use of two jammers will give a very slight increase in the jammer coverage, but otherwise no real advantage, I don't think. I can't say that I've really noticed this and I'm usually too busy to notice by the time it makes any difference!":book:

It has gotten ridiculus in the last few months for sure, jamming everywere right from takeoff it seems and then i see dozens of questions about what to do and how to do it as if no one even bothers to read a manual or anything, really annoying.:mad:

Megile on the lockon forum now, this should be fun:smilewink:

I smell GAYNESS in the air with that thread....hehehe...like so funny....GAY.:joystick:

Will you have your own server so as to fly online in the Tomcats? Otherwise im not sure how you will be able to fly and fight against others online unless they have the same mod, is this the Topgun mod, i have it and it is good and you can land and take off on carriers. It is the su33 cockpit. Nice skin too.

Love it thanks guys.
