I was fairly new on the LockOn forums and it's odd to see some of your names with only 2-3 posts and no rep. :lol:

Thanks for posting this.. it reminded me that I have a semi-broken old HOTAS sitting in storage. Time to start playing and make a collective. :thumbup:

I finally came up with a question... :P With new released expected approximately every 9 months or so, are there any kind of plans for non-combat aircraft? For instance, missions could be built for Rescue missions for CH-47 or UH-60 pilots, or the Russian equivalents, supported by attack aircraft. I would love to see a transport / utility helicopter added, but then again I used to be a CH-47 crew chief so I am biased. I'm not sure if the rest of the community would be interested in an aircraft like this, but I'm sure there's a few of us out there. :thumbup:

Awesome :thumbup: Can't wait to see what the community will come out with for what already looks like an awesome simulator.

Everyone has brought up some good points here. I understand that a lot of time and effort go into mods, and there is a line somewhere that decides whether a mod is "good" enough to be considered paying for. Right now there are some GREAT mods available to the community. I think what makes these mods so great is the fact that they are made by Lock On players for Lock On Players. When mods start to be developed with a profit in mind I think that the overall vision of why we all make mods starts to diminish. I really like what Pigpen stated about most mods being replacements and not actual add ons. However it seems that advances are being made that make addons truly add objects to the game. My personal opinion.... No, I would not pay for addons created by the community. I play FSX and I have never paid for any of the add-ons available for that game, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on that much.

I can not seem to replicate these errors. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am pretty sure it is that the texture is not loading, perhaps because of a different mod or something. I am really scratching my head here :doh: And thanks for the compliments all. :)

No, but I'm looking into it. Thanks for posting

They work for me too Torwak, you might have got a corrupt driver or something.

Thanks, it's all been taken care of :)

Nice work. Looks like you all have put a lot of effort into it. :thumbup:

Not sure if these have been posted as I got a bunch of results when I searched for them. But here's a couple vids I found while browsing around. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/136595/ka_50/

Summer pack released. There are two packs available. The main difference is quality, but the difference is minimal from what I could see on my system. Take them both and find which one suits your system best. :) I used ModMan to create the packs so no special installation is needed. High Resolution Pack: 21.6Mb - http://eh-guild.com/lockon/downloads/Summer_Runways_HR.zip Low Resolution Pack: 6.0Mb - http://eh-guild.com/lockon/downloads/Summer_Runways_LR.zip Here's some screens of the mod... If you encounter any problems please let me know.

I removed the link because that file was nothing but trouble. I am planning on having a summer pack released by the end of the week though, barring any problems :lol:

Actually I will not be importing the files directly to the .cdds files with my release so you will be fine. :thumbup: I am planning on just releasing the four different seasons as four different packs. This way I can make High resolution ones that look even better. :) My knowledge on the .cdds system is not that good, so it is better this way :smilewink: Oh, and I didn't edit any terrain textures, so it wouldn't effect your current set up anyway. The only files modified are the actual runway and taxiway textures. The terrain textures you see in my screenshots are from a different mod.

Amazing!! Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

Thank you all, I have hit a hick-up... I had to install Vista on my system and ran into some file errors, but I hope to get back on these textures before the end of the week. :)

Nevermind, I sifted through some messages and answered my own questions, but if it's not up in a day or two I'll post back here.:smilewink: Thanks

I just installed Vista and I had re-purchased FC because I had reached my maximum activations. I got a confirmation e-mail stating that the payment was successful with the transaction number of ... TXNBGSHL5YGKSMM36B Just curious how long it usually takes before I can activate FC? And do I get a new SN or is mine just renewed with more activations? Thanks

Ok, Need some help now. I have created a Summer and Spring Texture set, but I can not get them to install. I change the .cdds file in the Modman add-on maker, but it seems to ignore it. Can anyone please tell me how to create a package for all the seasons? I have extracted the different season files, edited them and told Modman where to put them but it doesn't seem to work. :cry: I made an add-on if any of you want to download it and pick it apart. Download the package here... Removed Link until package is complete... Forgot to mention. It will install one of the two, usually the spring textures, if this helps at all. ..... Upon further investigation, it does not matter where I tell Mod-Man to put the files they always go to the spring .cdds file. I guess the only work around would be to make separate packs for each season and leave it up to the user to install which over one is wanted. So with this I will work on finalizing a pack and see if I can get it to work.

I took a long break from Lock On, and I must say, it's good to be back. I can not believe the number of new mods and skins available. This community is one of the best!!! Anyway on to my post. Upon my return I could not find an updated texture for the Russian style runways. Maybe I just missed it, but I decided to embark upon creating my own. I have almost finished the summer textures and wanted to share them here. Please leave me any comments or suggestions so that I can improve upon them! Once I finish up the summer pack I will work on the other seasons as well. I did not photoshop any of the files. I only resized them. :) You can also go to http://eh-guild.com/downloads/lockon/ to view all my screenshots.
