Thanx mate! Would really appreciated it! Big respect if you do it! :) :worthy: You will be credited in all formationvideos if we use your skin! :) :thumbup:

Grandsurf: Will you mod decrease fps? About how much in comparison with standard Lock On:FC graphics?

I don´t know how to skin myself, so I was wondering if someone could make the Norwegian flag on a SU-27? With callsign next to the canopy: "Planebeach" "FunkyMan" "Cougar" Text with white color and a kool font or something! Also number 1 to 3 would also be nice to have on each aircraft. Anyone with a lot of sparetime? :D http://www.ballade.no/nmi.nsf/pic/norskflagg/$file/norskflagg.jpg Would be nice to have it in high res version! Anyone?

We used Skype actually! I didn´t record the voice (haven´t checked the possibility in Skype, but I know you can record in TeamSpeak.) and If I had, you would not understand norwegian! (Most of you). We did not speak that seriously, and I was whining a alot because I could not always maintain my speed in formation etc etc. Easy to blaim friends when you lack skill yourself! :D Hehe..."KEEP THE GOD DAMN PLANE STILL...AND WHY ARE YOU ON FULL AB? I CAN´T REACH YOU" in Norwegian..hehe...Was kind off fun! :D Also, about the bloopers, my friend tried some hazardrious manuveurs when I eventually managed to keep formation with the leader. I was tweaken my throttle and I was quiet pleased with my flying when suddenly my friend roll upside down in front of me and crashed into the leader...argh..hehe...I was actually vulching him when he respawned at airbase..hehe :music_whistling:

My theory was right then! :) I will rather have a larger load time, than ingame stuttering! Now I suddenly have powerful "old" PC after all! ;)

I have noticed something strange(?). I thought for over a year now, that having 20 km preload setting will make the fps higher. But then I suddenly noticed that 100 km (and more detail the higher you fly because it render the groundtextures at higher altitude) the fps was higher than with 20 km! How come? I have 2 GB RAM and my theoy is that with the 100 km setting, the groundtexture is always "running" in the RAM and almost always displaying, so when I have 20 KM, my comp. needs to render the texture when I fly low enough making the fps drop due to rendering. Hope I explained it good enough! :D Am I right, should I stick to 20 km preload or is 100 km more RAM and CPU friendly?

I suppose I need to edit the value of text height? (It says 299 for whatever reason)! chat { height = 299; delay = 0; };

I did not fully understand what you where meaning, but here is what my config.lua file says! :) -- This file was automagically generated. Edit with care. :) gameTimeout = 30; maxPacketSize = 500; playerName = "Kaptein_Damli"; idleTimeout = 120; stats { enable = false; file = ""; }; chat { height = 299; delay = 0; }; serverFiles = { }; configList = { }; client { syncPing = 1; type = ""; livePing = 15; port = 10308; server = "84.211.65.60"; serverList = { [1] = "84.211.65.60"; [2] = "85.100.121.241"; }; }; server { type = ""; name = ""; maxPlayers = 32; port = 10308; pingUpdate = 30; interface = ""; }; What value needs to be edited?

This is an edited video from friday night. Myself and a couple of friends who I have forced(!) to buy Lock On, did some training. We are not that skilled, so for formationflying we need A LOT of training :joystick:, but it was alot of fun, and someone has to start somewhere! We started first with some dogfights (not in the video) and then tried to fly together. Results as you can see in the video + some crazy kamikazeflying..hehe...Just watch it and don´t expect Virtual Thunderbirds please! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GZ9fyP3xoU

Me and a couple of friends where flying online with one of us hosting the server. (Not me.) Whenever one joined or exited or crashed etc, the text is displayed, but does not fade away! It is kinda annoying to have 10 lines of text in your face while dogfighting! Couln´t see a sh**! How do I fix this? We all have 1.12B patch and FC of course.

Powerful with 17 - 20 fps at lowest? Think you should turn AA and AF down a little to get smoother play. But that is of course a matter of choice! I prefer high fps and lower texture etc than eyecandy and 17 fps...

What screen? I am only seeing to beautyfully girls! :)

I think you can change the mousesmoothing or something in a configfile, I canґt find it though, but maybe Glowing Amram do? I do have the same problem. I rather not use the mouse..Also try pressing "shift J". Makes the cam "jiggle joggle". Cool effect! :thumbup:

Didn´t know there was that huge difference between SU-33 and the SU-27? Other that the SU-33 is capable to take off on shorter runways like on hangarships etc.

Easy peasy, just set the start speed in mission editor to zero or 50 or something. It was what my dear friend did to me...hehe...My oldy Sidewinder Pro 2 almost vibrated to death when I hit "S" to start the dogfight lol! :D

Hehe...some have "ejection" problems, other just get a hardon! hehe :megalol: (Just read the thread of ejection problems from A-10.)

Hehe...I didn´t, just don´t wanna be noob with unlimited fuel! :D BTW: At one point, if you can see it in the video, I was under 200 knots and a stall warning was heard. Isn´t that a fuel saver or what? :megalol:Look how I intercept him with my zero idle and hard turning. I almost stalled but managed to add som trush while shooting. I was pretty impressed by myself doing that manueveur :thumbup: as I am not an "Ace".

Actually not! In the video you can hear I am "fuel 800" before landing. It may have been less than 40min, I just saw the time on Skype, and I remember now we kinda fibbling with settings before starting the server. Maybe 20 mins or something.

Me and my friend Ole "Cougar" was dogfighting last night. He hosted the the game and since I had Track Ir and he didn´t he gave me some kind of a "starting handicap". As you see in the video, he gave me a start speed of 50 knots, making my F-15C flip like a coin! I was out for revenge! Hope you like the video, I used about 3-4 hours editing with Sony Vegas. New to the program so I learned as I edited. I bet there a tons of more things to do. It is not that qualityediting Glowing Amrams do, but it´s very fun to edit and making videos anyway! Enjoy and turn up the sound! :pilotfly: Oh, btw, my flying skills is not as good as many of you, as you sure will see, we both struggled to find each other during dogfight. It lasted 40 min actually! I spotted him, and suddenly the tiny little prick was gone...Man....you gotta have eagles eyes to spot! Guess it´s just training! :joystick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueXjkcJ_kXU

Itґs a real shame modding in iL2 1946 is not allowed. The code there is locked. Think of all the wonderful skins and textures people could make for 1946! They are afraid of modding because they mean it can be used to cheat in multiplayer....Well...I have played A LOT of games online, and I am used to cheaters in CS:S and many other games, but who the h*** whould cheat in a jetsim or any sim? Thought people who played sims are grown up people who enjoy simulators and not cheating. Ok, back to topic, again, will this mod make a huge impact on fps Grandsurf? I do not have a high end PC and I run FC as it is at ok framerate with hot summerpack. Will it be possible to run hot summerpack with your mod?

I have set up a virtual server via my 3Com routerinterface. There are no options of TCP or UDP. Only which port and which IP. (A friend of mine helped me with this, he never told me anything about TCP or UDP.) Se attached picture.

Sorry, but I did not find that funny?! FM=Flight Modelling or did I mis something here? :)

I have 10 MBIT down and 1.25 MBIT up. We both had 128/128 as I have read on the forum before. Don´t know why it should be 128. Maybe I will try with higher settings next time. I belive that running a server and playing on it the same time, makes he CPU "overload". I think my "old" P4 3.0 GHZ simply can´t run FM and sever at the same time...

Have anyone of you tried the great sim iL2 1946? It is a compilitation of all the expansionspack followed by iL2 Sturmovik. Very nice FM, great graphics due to the fact that it is based on a game from 2001. (Love the fpsfriendly three thingy they have done, look great from above.) It has a good helpful community like ours, but they not welcome modders..Itґs because the code of the game is locked and not allowed to modify. I got a warning just asking of changing machinegunssounds. I didnґt know. Anyway, the game is really hard, and the actual flying is much more harder than Lock On as you have to deal with superchargers, prop.pitch, radiators, WEP boost etc etc. Lots of things to control and master. It is very nice when you get the hang of it! I picked the game up cheap and have lots of fun with it offline at first. Some of the manuveurs and flying can make you a better Lock On pilot, but dogfighting is a more "slow pace" than Lock On. You frankly donґt move that fast in comparison! :)

For him there was no lag, and I had no zonealarm or AVG antivirus up. Only Lock On FC and Skype. I have now downloaded HOT summerpack as the terrain there is less demanding concerning fps. I have also tried different settings with water etc. I will try again and see if itґs graphical lag or bandwith lag due to much being server and player. When he hosted once (didnґt worked for him last night) I saw no lag. Guess he has more power to run a server and play the same time.
