oh dear, are we gonna end like this? http://youtube.com/watch?v=QlYmO4S_Dkk (I don't understand a word, but its a rather nice animation)

here's mine...

point 1: I switched to free external view (CTRL + F11), followed by ALT + *, which changes your zoom-speed. ALT + mouse-wheel should also work. Aeroscout already answered your second question, so i won't get into that. @ VMFA-Blaze: Thank you :) I like the idea of parking in a bunker, that's why i included this scene. Unfortunately this only works for AI planes...

thanks, im glad to hear that you like it :) @ Kifaru: Nope, i didnt. fortunately the problem occured at the very end (last 3 scenes) @ The two Cat-Fans: i can't share your opinion. but i won't start an other "Which aircraft is better" discussion ;) Let's just hope that there will never be a situation which would prove that someone of us was right!! there may be more, but not at the moment. probably in a few months.

hi kifaru i've had exactly the same problem. i'm sorry that i can't help you, i had to finish my movie with low scenery settings (was set on "high" though). i also tried to change the graphical settings with "ModMan", but that didn't work either. really annoying, that messed up my whole movie.. :( if someone knows how to fix that, please tell us!

oh, very nice tutorial. unfortunately i saw your post too late, my movie is already finished ;) (http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=22256) thanks anyway, ill use it for the next movie (when there'll be a next one) for sure.

Hi all I had nothing to do this weekend, so i decided to make my first LockOn movie, which is also my first movie at all. I hope you like it. High quality (recommended): http://jonas.irczone.ch/lofc-ar.wmv (40 MB) Low quality (youtube):

Thanks dude, that helped!

Hi there I'm currently working on my first lockon movie. but i have a problem: i can't figure out how to disable the infobar (with speed, alt., time) when i'm in external view. can someone help me? thank you!

i really dont know either. i thought with such a computer lockon would run smoothly, but unfortunately i was wrong. or do i have to install something else than the newest forceware? @Blaze. Highest Water Level works fine for me too, unless i don't use cloud-level 9 or 10 in the weather specs. that causes lockon to crash. its a known issue as people told me in here.

1280 x 1024 and highest detail level (exeption: water level medium, cause of the cloud-level-crash-bug)

I'm really wondering how you manage this. I'm using a Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz with GeForce 8800GTX and 2GB RAM, and i have about 20 fps during normal flight. maybe my system isnt configured properly (which i dont hope). though, im using LOFC 1.12a, but the difference wont be that big i suppose.

sounds very interesting, ill have a look at this vid when i am back at home. since i am Swiss i can just second that the swiss alps are great :P by the way: switzerland changed their 130 Hunters with 34 Hornets in 1993. they should support the Mirage III S and the F-5 Tiger. As far as i know there are just F/A-18s saving our skies at the moment. But the government plans to buy 250 F-22s. ... Joke ;)

i laughed really hard at this one. when was the last time that the USA _saved_ the world from something?

<br><br> the heat blur doesn't effect my fps. how do i change the AA levels? there is nothing in the graphic-settings, neither in graphics.cfg

I use LockOn with an 8800GTX, Intel Duo Core @6600 and 2 GB Ram. And LockOn _doesn't_ run smoothly at 1280 x 1024 with the highest settings. when i start at Krasnodar-Airport (lots of city-textures there), i have less than 10 fps. I am wondering what hardware compilation would be necessary to make LockOn run smoothly. Fact is: nothing what you could buy these days. And that's why i laugh about Ubis recommendation of 800 MHz. I guess it would be a nightmare to play LockOn with the recommended hardware, compared to what a result i notice with my High-end machine. It _must not be_ that a 3-year-old game slows down my computer that much with only "a few" city textures. it's not acceptable in my opinion. An awesome game and my favorite at the moment, no question. But very badly optimized.

that only works with the Su-25T...

Here is what i would like to see in BS: I would like to see the AI more "human". At the moment it seems that the AI is god, they know everything and never do mistakes. - They know when they get attacked with IR-Missiles - Their bombs never miss - They don't have to search their (ground)targets visually, they always know where they are - It seems that their speed isn't related to what their engines are doing. i.e. they can slow down very fast (without airbrake) even with their afterburners enabled. - if i disable my jammers, they lock on me at the same moment without any delay. - if they get damaged a bit, they stop fighting and try to land somewhere. these are just a few and simple points of many others, but it would improve the reality feeling a lot in my opinion with an AI which is more "human". my 5 cents...

Europe is west from Russia, isn't it? ;) but anyway, thats not the point, we all know what i meant...

The only thing you can do with the Su-25 when you need to destroy moving targets is to guess the position of the vehicle at the impact of your missile/bomb. i wouldn't correct the pointer all the time. i am not sure, i almost never fly the A-10. but it's like this with the Su-25T in LOFC. the seeker moves slower when you zoom in the TV-screen, so that how i make it. - activate TV screen, move seeker near the target and press TAB (Lock On) - Zoom in and move the seeker to the target (it should be slower now) - Zoom in again and place the seeker over your target. (it should snap-in here) This is what i did with the A-10 as well. Worked for me =) What annoys me is the little square of the Su-27/33 at BVR mode which you have to move over the contacts on your HUD to lock on them. I'm using my Joystick-Hat to move it, and its _really_ slow. It takes about 5 seconds to move it from the top of the HUD to the bottom. this time could save my life sometimes.

The only western fighterjet that is missing in my opinion is the "EF2000 Eurofighter" and/or the french "Rafale" I don't mean as a flyable a/c, just as AI. That would be interesting =)

I'll try that. Thanks

Hi there Does anyone know this problem? LockOn crashes when i want to start a mission with cloud-level 9 or 10. 8 or lower works fine. Haven't had this problem with my old computer, but I noticed a very low framerate above the clouds, though. Specs: Intel Core Duo 2,4 GHz 2 GB Ram GeForce 8800 GTX, newest forceware

thank you guys for these helpful answers. So i was right then, there is no warning. I guess i have to live with it. To avoid the Iglas i normally try to stay above 4000 meters. By the way, i've seen this training mission where it says that there is no warning for IR-Missiles. I just couldn't understand how the AI notices them. But it seems like in most of the games: AI = God, Player = victim. Oh well.. ;)

the wingman just warns when _he_ gets attacked. he doesn't care if i get attacked ;) so the other question is: why/how do the AI recognize an IR-Missile-launch while i just can hope that noone attacks me with IR-Missiles
