I will nver sit on Santa's knee again :mad:

The invisible missile bug has been isolated and should be an easy squash for 1.12 or maybe 1.2 Thanks to Taipan for helping me isolate the problem. It had nothing to do with network coding, something much simpler :-)

Cool thread. Any retired RL A-10 drivers lurking these forums?

Sweet Shep, Very Creative

The other real good reason for team messages being disabled is because when on, they tell you exactly when and where an enemy aircraft has landed. Hence totally destroying any chance of being "sneaky" Also invites players to loiter near that airfield to pounce the pilot as they take off. It is possible to tell who team killers are and they do get warned. Typically we give 2 warnings and the third time (in the same session) you will be asked to learn IFF elsewhere.

It wasnt necessarily a language problem. But quite possible a corruption on the installation source. Using the English version may have just supplied a different source file to install from. Whatver it was it was a hard problem to isolate and fix.

As far as the invisible issue goes with Taipans LockOn. We had the same problem pre 1.11 and we ended up solving the problem by installing the English version instead of the German Version on cd. Im assuming what has happened is Taipan has reinstalled with the German version again. Forgetting about the problems we had earlier. I did ask Taipan to reinstall lockon after it not patching correctly. On that point. Problems will be solved faster by clients complying to the Server admin instructions instead of arguing with the host. Even if the Server admin is mistaken. It needs to be tested in a cooperative environment. Not one where "your wrong im right attitude" is paramount. We are after all trying to create a virtual environment for everones enjoyment.

F14 is not a realistic option in the short term. However The F18 could be.

Congrats Tex on your new position in the VBA. Well Done!

Hmm... well I wonder why we fly Lockon at all. F15 is a "Death Trap" Su27,33 is "Unflyable" Mig29 "runs out of fuel after 40km" Some individual scores on the 169th Dedicated recently: Mustang: 10 kills-0 Losses Su33 TomAce: 10 kills no losses Mig-29 Yours Truly: 10 Kills no losses F15-C

Ever since Lockon has been patched it has allways puzzled me (and others) why the default connection speed is still 33.6. I guess the only logical reason is that most Russians play on 56k and for 2 or 3 players this is recommended. Fair enough I say. However would it be possible that for the english patches at least it be changed to 128/128. It is consensous that this is the best speed to join servers hosting at 1024/128 or higher. For instance the 169th dedicated hosts at 2048/2048 and this with 128/128 clients works extremely well. Han, You might remember the majority of players joining forget to change to 128/128 after a fresh install. So if there is a good explananation why this cant be done these please tell us. So we dont wonder in amazement why this has never been changed.

The AYES! have it! Track ir is the bomb

rgrt graphics.cfg is the correct one

Something needs to be remembered here: Lock-On Flaming Cliffs has the widest range flyable aircraft of any "Study Sim"

Maybe a Small Eagle even :cool:

Just some things to try: ** Download and install "Microsoft Antispyware" (Its free) ** Remove any desktop picures background pictures. ** Right Click on Desktop, Properties, Settings, Advanced, Troubleshoot and drop the hardware acceleration down one notch ** In "...\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Config\graphics.lua" change "fullscreen = 1;" to "0" in all 3 entries.

ED is aware of many requests for this feature. Whether they change it or not.. Who knows. Maybe it's not that simple for Lock On. Or maybe they don't think its necessary. We can already record tracks and detect what fuel load the opponent is using. Personally I think secrecy of fuel can make a guns fight more interesting.

For those hard of hearing.... Manny you miss the point. Even if the AE is a real weapon. If the consensus is that it should not be used then a player disregarding these rules is giving himself an unfair advantage against his opponents. If the F1 Racing Committee says slicks are not allowed this season. What do you think they will do to a team that ignores this ruling and starts to qualify with them anyway ?

Posting this information from the log which I assumed was accurate was a mistake on my behalf. Unfortunately we will have to live with cheating online until 1.2 or later. Voxsod I apologise for causing any harm to you or your squadron name.

Affirmative to Classified Missions SwingKid. But I thought you already knew that. Classified missions do not restrict load outs in 1.11 The offline community is far bigger and their problem of not being able to alter payloads in campaigns is a real one. Its just too bad they dont read the forums or talk to others online. They would have found alternative methods to declassify any mission without having to seriously disrupt the continuity of the online community.
