92nd-MajorBug

The empty config.lua is a bug that appears sometime and makes all the text stay on the screen. This is not the case here ; my bad ;)

Didn't know what ? That all the kills in the Erythrea-Ethiopia war were done in close combat ?

Not realist ? You can always have a A-10 aggressor skin ;) Russian F/A-18 Iraqi F/A-18 Grey US Air Force skins for Su-25T and Su-27 were incredible. A soviet-like, green-brown skin for A-10 would just kick ass ;)

You have to replace your empty /LockOn/Config/network/config.lua with a valid one. In case you don't have any valid config.lua, just ask ;) Btw for ED Developpers, in the header of the config.lua file, you can find this : No wonder why it screws up all the time ;)

In reality, the bi-target mode used on MiGs and Flankers is a "shared STT" mode, not a TWS. It is used to guide two R-27s at the same time, on targets flying close to each other ;) About the efficiency of this system, you can see the kill records of the Erythrea-Ethiopia war ... PK = 0 ;)

Right, but it is more imprecise by far than a computed guns firing solution. It also relies on the fact that you know the target's wingspan, which is quite easy for a wide known aircraft such as Eagle or Flanker, but can be tricky if you don't know your opponent. For example, those Iranian fighters that look very much like an F-5 Tiger, but are said to be 30% bigger ;)

Additionnaly, you can also jam the tracking radar and prevent the enemy from getting a correct guns calculation ;) The first ECM and chaffs where used for this purpose ;)

The main reason why cannons are kept on NATO fighters is because the US Navy lost a lot of cannonless F-4s during the first part of the vietnam war. But missiles are getting more and more efficient, and cannons are becoming near to useless, particulary in modern conflicts where it is 100 vs 1 :P Btw about DEFA, it may be not as good as Gsh-30, but on Mirage fighters there is two of them, which makes 2x 30mm. Quite efficient too ;) DEFA 554 for Mirage 2000 DEFA 791 for Rafale

You can also ask the author directly, as he speaks english very well ;) And btw : i found an english page here : http://lotatc.net/?lang=en ;) Cheers

It is on it's way ;) Hub' has been very busy these days fixing the last issues. The mod might not come up "by the end of august", but will certainly do soon in september ;) Yep, looks like "two more weeks" ... those things happen :P Btw Colt40Five, you were looking for a reason why you like the Jaguar so much. What do you think about "it means you have hair under your arms ?" - a rough translation from French, sorry if it does not mean anything :P (a lot of people in french squads like to fly the good old Su-25 for this precise reason :D) Everything works except the VTM (just below the HUD) which is static and just for the eye. A lot of the instruments have been reskinned to look like they show up on LCD screens. Having already tried (beta-tested) the mod, I can tell you the effect is perfect ;)

Thank you too ;)

I'm using fraps ;) The ingame rendering tool gives me the same problem you have ...

The last windows media codec is quite good. This video is compressed in 640*480, 30 fps, wmv/wma, quality VBR 93% ;)

Splash 6 :D

They did. They shot some sidewinders if you look closely ;) :P And as you talk of it, Ukrainians eat a lot of missiles too. I didn't want this video to be "anti-american" in the first place ;)

Thanks for your replies and comments ;) Vekkinho -> there's a simple technique if you're using Fraps. When recording the video, you slow down the track 2 or 4 times, then during the editing you accelerate the render, which multiplies your fps by 2 or 4 with the same game speed ;) But you have to make sure you have a lot of room on your hard drive before doing that :p (20 GB for this video) You can also use the in-game tool for rendering ;)

Hello, Here's an old-fashioned Lock On action movie from the French community. Not the most original you'll see - l0csta's already invented everything anyway :P -, but efficient scenes and good music make the trick :smilewink: Hope you'll like it :joystick: http://www.3rd-wing.net/espace_pilotes/Major/92nd_Kodiak_Air_Force.wmv (windows media, 9:07 long, 137 mb) S! PS : the usual sorry-for-my-crappy-english goes here:doh:
