I prefer the Flanker, because when I'm in the F15, I can never figure out where that missile is coming from. It's easier for me to evade radar missiles in the Flanker.

The ETs are the shiznit. Even I can't miss with those...

Would you be able to build models for Lock On in Gmax? And can anyone tell me if PSD files (which is the format skin templates seem to come in) can be worked on in Paint Shop Pro? Paint Shop is far cheaper than Photoshop...

Aye, that's definitely worth waiting for!

I think the E6850 is the best bang for the buck at the moment. But if you can hold out, I hear that new quads will be released towards the end of the year/Q1 next year. And new nVidia cards in November....apparently.

ED's plugins work with 3ds Max 7. Unfortunately, I think it's almost impossible to purchase a copy of past versions of 3ds Max.

/\/\ No such thing!

I have two suggestions: 1. If Lock On starts to crash when a mission starts with a "lockon.exe encountered an error and had to close...etc", chang the 'Water' settings to Medium. There is a known bug that causes the game to crash on higher than medium water settings. 2. Unless anyone can tell me otherwise, I could never find any settings within Lock On for AA and AF. I use nHancer to force Lock On into 2xAA and 4xAF. That will sort out the 'not so good looking' aircraft on your Lock On menu screen.

Woah dude, someone parked a jet in your house!

Ahahaha. Rep inbound for that one!

I don't think that's Dita Von Teese

dang...my last guess was going to be a video of a dancing hobo, but it looks like I'm wrong again. I'll just wait it out.

I'm trying to think of something that we can't use, it's really difficult! :P Is it another model? One for a non-flyable? Or perhaps a vehicle?

Completely understandable! :D

Is it something to do with new sound effects? Gun or engine sounds perhaps?

hehe, I noticed that too! I think he has assumed someone else's role to make a hit on the pilot!

Take it easy there tiger. Maybe take your own advice outlined in bold. I am totally against cheating or using exploits to win, I was just noting that I do not think dumping fuel before a merge is cheating or abusing an exploit. Surely dropping the weight of the aircraft increases maneuverability, which is why this guy dumps fuel. It's his fault if the dogfight lasts too long and his fuel runs out. So *IMO* there are pros and cons of either strategy

I'm pretty sure that during a real life dogfight the pilots would try anything to get the upper hand without stopping to think "Wait a second, is that 'fair'?"

The slats on the Su-27 are probably there to stop the wings from stalling at AoA, rather than the engines. But it would be the same principle.

I don't think it's a good idea to bring this up. It's not really any of our businesseseses

hehe, good call

I think #1 is referring to a coffee table. For #2, I guess you could just say 'paperboy' ah, remember that old Sega classic?

I don't think ED ever made any promises about a release date, not even the 2006 date they gave. What bothers me is when people think they've been hard done by a game developer when a game is not released in the time estimated. All that shows to me is an over-inflated sense of entitlement. It has been said that one of the reasons for the delay is so that more features can be implemented. How is that 'screwing over the customers'? I said it before on another forum: I paid around 10 pounds for Lock On Gold (sorry ED! hehe). ED don't owe me jack! Okay, I'm taking deep breaths now....

Now I know how to post the profile. It's attached. Lock On Joystick.zip

If you like, I can send you mine. But I have no idea how to attached it here. I tried but the forum doesn't like the file type. If you want it, PM your email address. I didn't like the idea of having to change profile for different aircraft, so I made an 'all rounder'. Basically, Mode 3 is used for basic flight, navigation and landing. Mode 2 is A2G and Mode 1 is A2A. This profile could probably benefit from more commands, but it's always worked for me. Besides, I'm hoping to get a touchscreen soonish :D
