Okay
Now I know everyones gonna be like "read this sticky" "read that sticky" "your an idiot"! But Im new to LockOn. Ive been an MSFS2004 guy for a while, and I used to play A-10 Attack back in the day. I just bought the LOMAC gold package, with flaming cliffs along with it. First of all, the documentation sucks with this package. The only information provided is info on the planes, nothing is provided whatsoever about the operation of the program, aka mission editor, recording and saving track files, video editing, all kinds of stuff, completely left out. The downloadable manuals are the same that came with the game, aircraft use ONLY, nothing provided..not one thing about the menus, editors etc.. With that being said, as a person totally new to LOMAC, learning how to use the mission editor was a pain in the butt! Secondly, how the hell do I set up Air to Air Refueling with the freakin F-15! There is no option for it anywhere, none of the F-15C missions provided have tanker support. When trying to make a mock AAR session with the mission editor, I cant place any freakin jets over 12000 god damn feet. I can get the 15 to top out at a retarted 18300 feet...at least thats what it reads in the mission editor screen, but when I click fly and the mission loads, LOMAC puts me at 60000 feet and the plane goes into a spin, uncontrollabel all the way to the ground(no stick response..and no the stick is fine, it works fine, drivers are fine, its not the stick). I tell the tanker to fly at 23000 feet, NOTHING, the altitude resets itself to 12000 feet, when the mission is loaded, the tanker appears at 33000 feet! I cant climb up that high at any reasonable pace! Attempting to climb up to FL330 I started loosing way to much airspeed..so I leveled her out at FL280 and the 15 could barely keep 150 KTS! WTF is going on with this screwy mission editor! Dont get me wrong, I love the game, the regular mission/multiplayer work fine, but the mission editor..GOOD GOD, its horrible! Its impossible to just slap planes in a scenario. And why cant I tell the damn plane to go over 12000 feet or at least have it hold the altitude i tell the mission editor to put it at. All I want to do is practice some AAR, and I cant find a way to do it. can somebody tell me what the hell im doing wrong. Thanks!
