  1. Thank you very much for your responses! I read the whole thread you linked, and I will go try that as soon as I got home. This is very helpful!
  2. I just purchased Black Shark. I was so excited to get to know the new machine, and enjoy flying once again. I had become so accustomed to flying lockon that i kinda got bored with it, and havn't flown in months. So I get it installed, and go in and only set up the axis on my joystick. I figure I'll learn the cockpit method first, then build my profile as I go, and do it my way. So I Do the first "Getting to know you training" and I let the computer fly the shark around and land it. I then take control, and lift the helo off the ground.. only for it to buck backwards on me. I banked it level, and gave it a bump in the collective to stop from bumping the ground really hard. I alt-tab out and make sure that my stick is calibrated. its showing a little off center, so I unplug and replug. It centers it. I get back into the shark and its still pulling back, and right. I hit T to center my trim, no luck. So I back out of the App, reset my controls, verify they're centered, and get back into the game. Same problem. Back and right off center. I've tried the realistic model and the game model. I cant fly worth a damn, I've been flying sims for 20 years, I don't know whats up here, all I know is that I'm not getting any enjoyment out of a game I've been waiting years for, can anyone help me?

  4. This is a quick video I made for some friends who were interested in lockon. it was made using 1.02. Its not highly complicated, it was recorded with Fraps. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5877932799273427935&q=lockon -John "Austringer" Griggs
  5. I have made progress on the multi-drop problem. I have got them to drop singularly, but it is not displaying the bombs on the aircraft. this is just using the 'humancockpit=yes' method, but I've found that the ordinance moIdifications work the same. I believe the problem is actually with the way that the MER-6 bombs are set up due to the fact that in the game, those mounts are only used on large bombers, I.E. B-52s, that drop them as a set. So, What I'm testing right now, is that I took the functionality from the CBU-97*6 launcher, and added the graphics from the MER-6 CBU.. What I got from that was it displaying 1 CBU 97 on my aircraft (none at loadout screen) and giving me the ability to drop it 6 times (in pairs) the MER 3 works for the CBU 20, so I'm wondering why I cant get the CBU 97s working. -John "Austringer" Griggs =WC= Wildcats
  6. The goal of my project has somewhat changed. I am going to try to modify the MiG-29 modded F-16 (for the purpose of multi-role use). The problems I'm trying to resolve at the moment are: MER 6 munitions are dropping all 6 (12) at a time, I am not sure what the differences are in the meinit.xml that makes a munition drop a pair at a time. I have set the F-16 to be able to carry MER 6 setups of CBU 97s, and MK20s, as well as MK82s, single MK83s (and MER 2 MK83s again, MER *2 MK83s drop 2 at a time) I'm doing all this to make a movie. Once the teaser is done, I'll introduce it to the community, but I'd like to share the work I'll be doing with the community too. I'd also like to know where to get a desert terrain mod, I've seen it in 2 movies, but I dont know where to get it. I've checked google with no luck. Any suggestions? -John "Austringer" Griggs =WC= Wildcats
  7. britgliderpilot, that confirms what I was thinking. I knew that some changes were made between 1.02 and 1.1 that caused it, but I wasnt able to find any confirmed information on it. I will likely try to combine the existing mod from US Marine with the modification of the meinit.xml to get the results I want. Thanks for your input. John "Austringer" Griggs =WC= Wildcats
  8. I have been using US Marines F-16 mod with FC 1.12a, there are a lot of bugs associated with using it. I recall the mavericks working (without the MFD, but still working) in 1.02, as well as GBUs (same way, after I added them with the pylon editor). I would really like to, with the help of some of the rest of the community, try to create an update to this mod, so there can be an american multi-role fighter available for play in Lockon FC 1.12a. Right now, as it stands, dumb bombs work fine, most AA modes work fine. (this is all working through the MiG-29 model) Aim120s, Aim9s, and Aim7s are ok. What doesnt work is: ECM, GBUs, Mavericks, AGM-88s, AGM-45s. I'm currently working on this stuff, but I am admittedly a newcomer to the Lockon Community, I've been flying it for about 3 months, but have been a flight sim fan since I was 10, (16 years, since Falcon 3.0). Any suggestions to help would be much appreciated. -John "Austringer" Griggs =WC= Wildcats Clan (BF2)
  9. I bet what you mean, is that your control stick is working, but your throttle isnt, and I bet if you try it , your Precision Slide operates your throttle, I know this because I just hooked up my X52 and it does that also, all you have to do is set your axis in lomac to operate with the movement of your throttle instead of the precision slide doing it. Back to the purpose of the thread though.. I also have an X52, and it seems that there is a huge deadband. In the saitek software, no deadband, the smallest movement, and the curser moves. In lockon, however, I have to move it more than half way to get the curser in the calibration to move. I tried messing with the deadband in the game, to no avail. I also feel like I have to trim constantly, and it drives me bonkers. Any Ideas? I'm using 1.02 till my copy of gold gets here. -John
