good post and good stuff. I like the template idea ... I never tried that in LO FC ... I get my new copy of 2.0 soon ... looking forward to using these. Thanks

Oh yeah, it would be really nice to move a unit of mixed ground pounders, tanks, jeeps, trucks, IFV's up a raod (which we can do now), have them come to a bridge or river or other obsticle and deploy (spread out) wait a bit, then return to the road and move somewhere else. It always killed me that I have to make tracks for eacha dn every tank in the convoy and have them deployed ... for each one ... and then they were basically stuck there. it would be really cool for two units to meet at the edge of a river or a canyon, deploy, fight, regroup, and then push on.

I would like a 3d viewer ... I think this is a must. It would also be cool and much easier if an orbit command was added for tanjkers and AWACS planes. I would also like to have some empty slots added for blank recordings to be added, things such as change in missions, re-tasking, USAF Facs directing you to put ordinace on his marked target. This could be done by adding them to triggers easily enough. Just some random thoughts.

I am looking for an old A10 mission, it might have been part of a campaign. It had a pair of A10s (pair ?) flying out to support a US infantry platoon that is pinned down by a bridge while taking fire from Soviet AFV's. There are man portable SAMs on two hills opposite the ground battle. If anyone remembers this mission, and can send me a link I would realy appreciate it.

Very interesting.

Very nice music, good transitions. Maybe let the bad guys for a few rounds before you off them next time.

Wow ... impressive !

Waiting .... zzzzzzzzzzz

By the time I am done and in the ground ... I suspect it will be near a years pay.

I have both installed. Lately I have been trying to connect with a friend who only has 1.02 installed. However, no matter which version I try to connect with, I get the same problem. I can see the missions and or rooms, and I see green lights, but if I connect I cann't get a mission select. If either of us try to host a mission, the host starts and ends up sitting on the tarmac ... alone. We are both assuming that we both have the same problem, as neither of us can join games already running. Thanks for the answer ... looking forward to your thoughts.

I found this site and it looks like they have a large number of routers supported and the site looks pretty professional. Anyone have any expierence with this or Port Forwarding ? http://portforward.com/routers.htm

This problem just keeps rolling from one to the next. I fixed the firewall problems and now I can see green "ping" lights in the Hyperlobby, but now I still can't connect. I think Ironhand mentioned "Port Forwarding". Back to the research ... I will let you know what i find.

Whatever he wants ... give it to 'em !

Happy Days ! I got it figured out, FINALLY. I run a firewall that comes with WinXP. This I has disabled, so I THOUGHT my firewall was not a problem. However, my anti-virus program, Macafee, that comes free from my ISP (Comcast) ... ALSO ... has a built-in firewall. I had NO idea it was there. I just dropped the security level on that and suddenly I can see. My techie friends at GURU-PC down in Tumwater WA deserve the credit. They scratched their heads and the alpha sierrasX2 a bit and then it occured to them. So of course while I was there I had to spend some money and upgraded my wifes graphics card (mine is already pretty snappy).

I would suggest copying the file, and saving it somewhere. THEN edit the file to the extreme end of the slider ... just one ... and to a comparison and see what changed. That will tell you what text string is for that slider, then do the same for the other sliders that you want to check out. After that a little tinkering and comparing will tell you how much equals how much.

My wingman and I finally tried to get on line the other night. He had no problems, but I am seeing all red bars on the hyper lobby site and can't get a connection. It's very odd, I can surf the net and I can play other games on-line like EQ2 as well as run TS and Ventrilo, but my real passion for flight eludes me. My set up is four computers all connected through a router, and then to a Cable Modum. The other boxes all work fine. When I try to ping or tracert a site I get "Destination Host Unreachable". It shows 4 packets sent, none recieved and none lost. I have a wireless router, but all the machines are wired directly to the router. Until last night my machine was trying to connect wirelessly, failing and then making the LAN connection by wire (I assume in that order). I disbaled the wireless connection last night and tried it, and it is still doing the same thing. I am going to try to connect as a wireless box and remove the cables tonight after work and see if that changes anything. Does anyone have any suggestions ? I checked all my wires and tried new ones. I also switched the box to a different port on the router.

Another week till this closes and the X-52 is doubling any other stick. The two Couger choices together are an equal to the X-52 but if you added the Pro to them, the result would stay on the same pace. I think Konkussion's prediction to the poll will probably hold true. I do wish that I had seen the need to add an OTHER choice. When it finishes I will make an effort to comb the responces and find the total numbers of sticks used and what types they all were.

I happen to klnow that that was a copy purchased from Ebay ... Darksoul is a friend of mine. I don't remember if it came from a re-seller or directly from Evolved games. Some Ebay stores will not take software back, but you can send them an email and see if they might exchange it ... of course the possibility is that he has a whole batch of the old Evolved cd's. :cry:

THAT was the missing piece of the puzzel ... THANKS !

Well the poll is coming along, with 13 more days to go. Saitek owners lumped together are showing 40 percent of the votes and cougers also lumped together are showing 31 percent. I was surprised to see some old Cyborg users there ... you guys still flying Dawn Patrol are ya ? It is also interesting to note the number of people that said they were on the third Saitek (mostly due to problems) and the number of multiple couger owners.

Viper that link to ironhands movie was great ... it really helped a lot. I do have one more question however. When hosting on your own machine, do you need to know your own IP number to be able to pass it along to your wingman (who is going to connect to you) prior to starting Lockon ? I am assuming by doing an IPCONFIG command and noting the numbers displayed ? Or does Lockon find the numbers for you and display them in the IP box for you to pass along to your friend over Ventrilo ? Again, many thanks guys !

I am not sure either way ... realistic or not ? for me ... i am not sure what key activates it, I just use my POV hat ... trick is in finding the damned missle early enough to be able to even bother trying avoid it.

Honestly, I think it is like being on a highway, with several other different roads, and thruways all parallel to it, everyone speeding along. However, there is only one bridge, all the others are now closed. Lockon is the only one that remains open, even though the only ones painting it and maintaining it are those that are speeding across it. My question is ... what is on the other side ?

I am not sure about questions 1 and 2. However, as for the answer to question 3 ... when I press H for alt hold, I lose a couple hundred feet prior to the plane stabilizing at an altitude, even if i am already in level flight and have been for some time.

Beautiful textures ... when do we get the taxiway signs, blast deflectors, and the light towers ? Okay ... so I am eager ...
