Someone should turn this into a witty public service announcement. I would, but I'm not feeling it today :( Nice pics though! :thumbup: Aero

OMG! That's me! Thanks Viper! You picked some awesome shots! Aero

I don't know if you play any console games, but if you do, just look at the staff credits in the end. You will lose count of the number of people it takes to creater a CONSOLE game. If i had to guess, it would be near the thousands mark. Now let's consider there are only 12 or so on the ED team. Does that put it in perspective? I know nothing about game development (I'm only begining computer science) but I do know there's a sh*t load of work involved. Such disrespect is not going to get you anywhere. Keep up the great work ED! Really looking forward to a fixed wing!

Where'd you get those trees? I WANT THEM!!! Nice edit too, pretty darn good. Subtle, but nice. Aero

lol I think he's looking at the N with the arrow though it in the upper right hand corner of the right MFD.

Well, I could be mistaken. Sorry if I mislead anyone

IIRC, back when BS was planed as an addon to lockon, they were going to re-do the missile dynamic of the AIM-120 and call it the AIM-120C, and call the old one the AIM-120B I could be wrong, but maybe this is one thing we'll see in 1.13, if and when it comes. (Which I believe it will, but how soon?)

Stop right there! Get yourself a stick NOW and start playing a REAL flight sim the way it's meant to be played. That's an order!:D Aero

Get a joystick? All kidding aside, you really should look at getting a stick. I know you like the keyboard, but you are REALLY hindering yourself. There is really no reason to be playing this game with just the keyboard. Actually, seeing as you have been playing this way for years, someone in this community might just give you an old stick out of sympathy. Aero

IIRC, afterburners are a b*tch! Their position cannot be moved and is fixed in their default location. This as an unfortunate problem for many mods. However, I think you can make the AB cone part of the 3d model, and only become visible when the AB is on (different TGA textures for different stages of AB) Just thinking out loud Aero

definitely Epic, and very deep... Loved the camera angles in a lot of those shots. Any hints on how you did some of those? ;) Definitely deserves some space on my HDD. Downloading now! Aero

In response to your second problem: I think it's something wrong with the meinit.xml file. I have had trouble with many of the compatibility packs and was forced to make my own. I attached it if it helps you. (It's not a modman pack. Just back up and replace the meinit.xml file in your Lockon\ME folder with this one.) This Meinit is only to be used if you are using all of the following: Walmis F-15, Walmis Weapons, Simmod A-10, 3GO Su-27 v1.5. Aero Aero's_Meinit.zip

Holy crap! God has spoken! Congrats TOMCATZ! You have god's seal of approval! So what's the deal with AI aircraft and parking?

I have looked at this, and it works as a matrix. This is fine for momentary switches, but if you have switches that say on, errors can occur ("Ghost" switches). I have used the KE72 from www.hagstromelectronics.com and it has worked very well. If you need more, there's the "KE USB108" which has more inputs and a USB interface. That's not to say the Opencockpits product isn't good. You just should understand its limitations. Aero

Thanks very much for the update borchi! I'm really looking forward to it. just a quick question, any chance for skin templates to be provided with the beta? That would be awesome! I'm looking forward to porting my aggressor skins over to your model! Also, could you have set skin-slots for different squads, kinda like the SIMMOD A-10? Thanks again Aero

Risking an immature back and forth argument, I will respond to your points. 1) I look forward to your mod, but I have seen no pictures, so I have no way to judge 2) When you make comments as I have seen you do already, it's no small wonder why people don't take you seriously. If you have to criticize, make it constructive and provide references for them to improve. I have seen none of that. 3) I saw those words, but that's not how I interpreted it. I saw it more as a "You suck, stop making mods!" kind of attitude. I'm sorry I miss-understood. </sarcasm> 4) funny you should mention I'm talking shit... I'm just posting in this thread to check the attitude of a single individual. I have done my share of lockon mods, movies, etc. Perhaps you would like to check my youtube profile http://www.youtube.com/jedilink25. I have some river mods I've done, as well so this and a few other skins for my squad. So I think I have a few credentials, and to be honest, a better attitude. I may not be able to Model in 3d yet, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the work that goes into these mods. But by all means, feel free to criticize, just make it constructive, kind, and have the facts to back it up. Aero out

@John_X. Umm... I don't want to be rude, but why don't you show us your 3d models you made with highly accurate 3D shape. If you can do this then I will respect what you are saying as a skilled 3d modeler. However, until you present us (The community) with such evidence, I must respond to what you say with some distaste and disgust. As many have put it before me, community modders do this in their free time as a hobby. You may want to consider, Just for a sec, that they don't have to do what they do, and, they make these mods for YOU! The walmis F-15 was the first real model made by a community modder! You could almost say Walmis was a pioneer in this area (Not my words, but I don't remember who said this) and he started a trend of 3d modeling. "That Mig-29" you mention is Tomcatz's. You may recall that he has done countless mods (Including that lockon4ever mod I'm eagerly waiting to be completed in all seasons). I don't know which euro-fighter you mention, but, again, it represents many hours of work. As does the F-22 model. Please phrase your criticism in a more constructive manner. No one is forcing you to use the mods, but that doesn't mean you should just publicly declare hard work crap. Of course, If you can do better, feel free to show us your work. ;)

left over from lockon I think. You can go through the whole DCS folder and find TONS of stuff leftover from lockon and even the flanker games IIRC. Screen resolution and aspect are all handled in-game, so don't bother with it.

I think a transport chopper would make an awesome 3rd Party addon once ED releases the tools. CH-53, UH-60, MH-60, SH-60, ya, any of those would be awesome! (actually those would be the only helos i'd stand to fly after the BlackShark) But PLEASE! Don't do a Huey, whatever you do.

lol, sorry I had to be the one to vote for the last option To be honest, I don't trim unless I absolutely have to. It's just another thing to worry about. I always have a hand on the stick anyway, even if it is my left. Center stick's are wonderful! ;) Of the 2 methods however, I like the new one better, though it is annoying when you don't actually center it and there's no control over the aircraft! That usually results in a large "Crunch!" :D Aero

Don't count on 6dof, though I think putting a roll axis on it would be kinda cool! I'm sure it will be a large improvement, especially if they're delaying DCS:Warthog a bit to do it: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=734354&postcount=65 I'm thinking missiles and ECM will see the major changes, but this is all just speculation. It's what it is, and continued specualtion is not going to do anything to make it come faster.

Broken sky conditions and cirrus clouds FTW!

What's happened to all the really good looking designs? I guess the 4th gen fighters will be the last that truly look "right" IMO. Nice find though. =)

I really hate to say this, but, not a chance. I mean, you could try it, but don't hold your breath... You should have a processor above 2.0GHz (2.4 or more would be better. Dual core does give some benefits) and a decent videocard (NVidia 6 series or better) and under vista, 2GB RAM is pretty much necessary. That's the minimum. Look at my Sig to see a comp running lock on somewhat decently (Though still not perfect) I used to run Lockon on a 2.0GHz Pentium 4, 512MB ram, and a 5200FX Vieo card. Ya, that sucked. If you are looking to run games, you might want to consider getting a decent desktop. Laptops are usually not the greatest things to run games on. Hope this helps, and welcome to the lockon forums!

Very Nice! What aircraft does it replace?
