How the AI should NOT fly (quite a few pics inside)
-Nighthawk- replied to tdar's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
lol I've had a few cases like that before, a few times when my wingman call "rejoin" then flys from the left hits my tail and stays in the right, not acknowledging I'm even there. Worst is on the runway though, they have no patience :P -
Had the same problem after 30 minutes of flight, I had rotor anti-ice, never knew there was engine anti-ice too ;)

Patch 1.13 Requested Features/Fixes List (*Merged)
-Nighthawk- replied to Colt40Five's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
Yes 1680x1050 is supported, in fact I'm using it right now. -
Wrong section, but it should be around the same time as the hard copy of DCS (in March)
-
Who created the program again? Would be nice if it could minimize to the tray and get rid of that "Affinity Set" message
-
Thought I may as well add my wishes / suggestions in this topic :) - Multicore Support (if DCS wants to be future proof I would start focusing on at least quad-cores, instead of just dual cores, makes it easier for later engine updates) - Intelligent AI(not ones that run into me on the runway ;) ) - Touchup the damage model (instead of just "blowing up" when you do something wrong I want to at least see the helicopter hit the ground and most of it being still together not just a big pile of flames) - More realistic sounds (compared to the real aircraft where the sound is a bit off, and also when clicking on the switches not all make the same noise) - More radio commands (such as maintenance options for a quick repair etc.) - Ability to get in and out of the aircraft (self explanatory, I would like to get out of the aircraft and run around then going back in and flying again) - Start the mission outside the aircraft (proberly won't happen, but I'd always love to start the mission outside the aircraft in a debriefing, one of my most wanted features a flight simulator has yet to implement) These are mainly just wishes, but above all ED NEEDS to have better support for multi-core processors if it is to upgrade the engine, which it will.

Starforce Protection, any problems?
-Nighthawk- replied to Victorious1's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
I've had a few problems with Starforce, and yes I have lost 2 DVD burners in the process. One was new and going fine for a month until I installed LOMAC FC, then after a few days the burn process was screwing up etc. even after a new format. Then I tried another one from a computer 6 months old which was also going strong until I installed LOMAC FC yet again, that also failed within a few days. My current one is doing ok though, luckily. Not that I'm a fan of StarForce as there are ways past it it just creates frustration for the average user especially considering not everyone has the internet. I also believe in you should be able to install it on a few different computers at home like I do with my games, instead I have to actually pay for additional copies just to LAN it up with my brother. Why ED uses StarForce? I have no idea. It puts a lot of genuine users off buying the game. -
Fantastic work! Can't wait for a release
-
No worries, :S I accidentally closed the PSD file was just about to release a 95x95 version. If anyone is after one let me know and I'll wip another one up for you.

Hey, after getting frustrated because of the pixelation by the 32x32 icon present in LOMAC on Vista, I have decided to create a 48x48 icon replica of the LOMAC icon for people using the 48x48 icon view in Vista or XP. All you have to do is click "change icon" under the shortcut on your desktop. Attached is the .ico and .png file: http://www.mediafire.com/?ltd0cnbotmy Image: Enjoy :)

Oh so that's why the pilot body wasn't showing when I tried to do it through my joystick :) thanks I'll update now
-
It's an arcade, not a simulation. BIG difference, I'd like to see them match the physics ;)
-
Got the add-on for FSX, seems pretty good, now I just need to get REX and I might start playing FSX again :)
-
Need to get in touch with LOMAC FC 1.1 support people
-Nighthawk- replied to Victorious1's topic in Payment and Activation
How long ago have you paid for it? If I can recall correctly it took me about 2-3 weeks. -
the skinny on the new GTX285
-Nighthawk- replied to Flyby's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
For now, dual GPU products will only remain in the high end segment. They are starting to slowly crawl into the mainstream segment however with the introduction of the HD4850X2 at a respectible price. We won't be seeing dual GPU's become the standard for at least 5 years IMO. There is still too many issues when running on dual GPU's it just doesn't make sense to let them completely take over. If you're thinking that dual GPU's are like dual CPU's where the transition went straightforward because it offered better performance increases, its a completely different story ;) -
Yeah I also think IL2 runs the best out of any flight simulator there is. I always get a solid 120FPS no matter how many AI / explosions etc. there are. And I'm only running a HD4850/5600+ X2

Finally got it working :D Just re-assigned the button from the fire button to "Button A", there must be something wrong with the firing button when it comes to missiles. thanks for the help
-
Yeah might do that, how do I save a track file? thanks
-
Hey, I've tried all those steps and I've got the "C" symbol on the HUD, and the targeting circle is over the missile target. Once its all locked on etc. I press Space + R ALT but still nothing happens, even when I hold it down for 5 seconds. The only way I'm able to shoot is by pressing C and going to the cannon fire. Any other help would be appreciated
-
Nope left ALT + Space doesn't seem to work either...
-
I checked out my profile and it looks like I've been using Right ALT + Space to fire, ill try Left ALT + Space now to see if that makes a difference :) cheers
-
Hey, I'm currently having trouble in using the various weapons of the KA-50 in the game. I have viewed the tutorials many times and followed them exactly, however I never seem to be able to shoot a missile, only using the gun by pressing "C" I have all of the combat systems enabled, set to outside view and ground target, and have been able to lock on to a target in the right range, I hold the fire button down for a few seconds (as it says) however I cannot seem to shoot a missile. Is there any other steps I should look out for or another tutorial on how to shoot down targets? thanks
-
Nope its definitely faulty, just return it for a new one. The X52 is fine and has a lot of features for you to use
-
Completely agree, best WWII fighter game there is, and its fun to fly around in the concept aircraft in the 1946 version
-
That article is flawed Cyberkut, they obviously don't know what they are talking about. You can install Windows 7 standalone fine...
