Thanks, nice job! I would like some one to update "LO Key Card Revised.pdf" thougt...

У меня на работе фаервол не пущает на 7wolf... не соблаговолит ли автор или кто нить с его разрешения запостить обзор сюды?

Дак я ж не спорю, возможности настроек, такие как цвет HUD и пр. это ОЧЕНЬ хорошо! Но согласитесь что то что это делается через редактирование конфиг файлов не есть user-friendly... Я то сам программер - мне пофигу, лиш бы можно было настроить... :) Но я никогда не забуду как я офигел впервые запустив ЛО и начав лазить по окнам и меню... Вот я вижу на окне две кнопочки с крестиком, одна в правом верхнем углу, другая такая же чуть ближе к центру... потом оказывается что они по разному фунциклируют ... от такого офигеваеш :) Так же помню как потом пообвыкнув к своеобразному интерфейсу ЛО пытался обьяснить как и что своему односкваднику (который сетевой админ кстати). _Опытный_ вирпил приходит в мир ЛО и начинается: "Как посмотреть трек с вн видами?" - "Ctrl+E редактирование трека" "Дак он же у меня в меню серый?!?" - "Ничего ты нажми..." "А почему трак не записывается?" - "А он только в определенных миссиях записыватся, quick combat из основного меню записать нельзя" "А как мне на Су25 летать и на Су27 - настройки то разные?" - "А никак! Хочеш перенастраивай клавиши и кривые..." "Что каждый раз?!?!" "ДА! (официально). А неофициально нада знать где ЛО конфиги хранит..." "Ну хотя бы на Су27 и Игле можно летать не выходя из игры???" "Нельзя! У них клавиша _пуск_ разная! :) А назначить одну и ту же клавишу на две функции низззяяя" "Ну а ручками хоть подкорректировать клавиши можно?" "Низя - фйлы настроек джоя и клавы бинарные!!!" "как? там жы ini расширение?" "не верь глазам своим! ;) " "А как мне переназначить хатку - все 8 положений? Пытаюсь вправо-вверх выставить - неполучается" "А никак!" "Т.Е. ?!?! (уже полностью офигев)" "А вот так - никак и все! :)"

Кликательный кокпит я в гробу видал, я за HOTAS! А вот по поводу настроек клавиш я с автором статьи полностью согласен. ЛО с юзером не дружит, и после вышедших патчей становится ясно что дружить и не собирается...

Ok LockOn_Save_Registry.exe понял для чего - сохраняет ключи из в reg файл, а второй то зачем???

Скачал два вышеупомянутых файла тока непойму какой для чего предназначен. Кто знает?

I dont get: "Uninstaller with SaveKeys" will actually UNINSTALL the game or just saves the keys in reg file?

Thanks for answers guys. Too bad no way to recognize friend/foe in autolock...

Yes, you are right developers said MANY times - the ONLY realistic setting for "Missile effectivenes" is middle. If you change this setting and then click on expert preset button - where does slider jump? Right - in the middle! Also developers said that setting works for all missiles - AI or human launched, off-line or on-line - DOES NOT MATTER. Whoever said it does not work on-line does not know the squat. Think logically - it does not make any sence! Some guy made up a story that having this setting on max is better, that this is most realistic setting and all you ppl blindly believed. Amazing. And what ED says does not matter... I like to play full reall, no icons, no padlock, full realizm physics. I also like to fine tune my missile evasion manuevers. Such manuevers greately depend on Missile Effectiveness setting - what works for one setting does not work for other. I also like to develop better hit results with my missiles and just same applies - you can get 99% kill in some situation with one setting of effectiveness and it work only 50% in onther... So I said to myself: I'm going to develop my skills with difficulty settings most close to reality. And I do. But LO is not that popular and not many servers/players are on-line, so it really upsets me to see these servers with scrued setting for effectivenes... ;(

14) I need answer for this one VERY much please: how do I tell friend/foe in close combat(autolock) modes? I know it writes aircraft type on VSD. But, for instance, if it says Mig29 and its mixed setup where Migs are on both sides - how do I know this one is enemy Mig?

Your server has "Missile Effectiveness" set to maximum. This is NOT full real settings! Not mentioning externals... Just another S77 :( I was hoping for better...

Hey, I did some 30 min flight on exact same bird! :) Nice little plane. Did you notice how you have to constantly work that vert trim wheel? I never tried fs2004 or any of those ms things, but compared with IL2 - nothing like in the game... New IL2 patch will make it mach closer to real life though ... :)

Really?!? :) I have XFX 6800 GT 256Mb on P4-3Ghz and 1Gb RAM and I'm really happy if FPS does not go below 30... which it does in any complex combat situation. And I dont have "settings whacked at max"... What is your visibility set to? Advanced fog? Effects? All on max? and you still have 43 FPS? What is your PFS if you fly over Krasnodar on the deck?

What's "Missile Effectiveness" set to?

12) Is there any way to switch all royal units in F-15 to metric? Its killing me really :) 13) Can I turn azimuth of radar like in rus? Or its just straight forward allways?

9) Well you cannot tell friend/foe on EOS anymore in 1.1 11) Why would you use it on short range at all? On short range 120 goes avtive right away... I need it on long range to know when to stop guiding and brake away if under fire ...

Thanks GGTharos! Tell me when you get tired of me ... :) Yesterday I tried first time F-15 on line ... was killed once, then killed friendly then fired lots of flamers - nothing, zero kills :) 9) I discovered that when friendly is in active jam mode I see vertical series of little circles as opposite of squares for enemy. Wow! This is great advantage for F15! Rus do not have this... How is it possible? Is it real? 10) How to understand friendly/foe in TWS? What is this number above target mark? 11) _After_ I fire 120 is there counter somewhere that says when it will go active? I know there is one that says when "next 120 on the rail will go active"...

7) How to switch to "Auto-guns" mode? 8) Is [5] key mode (Helmet on rus) used for anything? As far as I see it just same as [6]...

Prfecto! Thanks guys! I'll continue digging ... :)

More questions: 4) what are PRIMARY most essential and effective modes that are used? I know it depends on situation but for typical combat there should be 2 or 3 modes (for example on rus it is of course - BVR, Vert Scan and Helmet :) ). 5) I can see that radar in F15 lives its own live and you can switch it on and off even in Nav mode... why is that? 6) What is Master Arm function (Alt+Space I believe) for? As far as I see I can do everything without masterarming ... ;)

Thanks! To clarify: 1. I thought so :) Cause second tab there switches to single track mode right? 2. Which one is hold-over - Boresight? If so why is it first (default)... I'd make more powerful Scan Mode as first that is selected when 6 is pressed... 3. Yes I noticed now that this tone repeats every few seconds. The thing is its very unpractical interval - too long. In med-close range thngs happen too fast to rely on this tone with such interval (IMHO). You can tell how close AR missile is right? Cause its separate diamond on TEWS...

Hi all. So far I only flew rus planes (all of them) and now decided it's time to learn F15 :). I hope in eng part of forum we have experienced F15 pilots that would help me. Some questions for starters (after I went through LO F15 training tracks): 1) Why would I ever use Alt+Tab to unlock the target? As far as I see just pressing Tab second time does the job... 2) non-radar modes with AIM-9: Boresight and Scan Mode. In Scan mode the circle that I have to put my target into is MUCH bigger. Why would I ever use Boresight??? 3) About TEWS: I tried quick combat against Su27 with P27ER and Mig with P77. I was watching TEWS to see what king of warning and info it gives me on SAR and AR missiles launch. All I got is some 1-sec extra tone in my headphones and that’s it! In both cases! I’m comparing it with rus planes – nothing like bereza! How can I tell if enemy launched SAR missile? How can I tell if its AR missile (S77)? How can I tell how close is missile? How can I tell if it’s not guiding anymore?

Да! Дейсвитильно без ветра все работает тип топ! А был ветер 4-12-30 м/с. А какие интерестно ограничения тогда на ветер - чтобы в пустую не летать, или брать другие боеприпасы, зная что под капот не бросиш?

Да, хорошая была ветка, мне нравилась вначале... :(

Ну так чего с моим треком (см выше)? Посмотрите пожалуйста, скажите почему не происходит сброса.
