504MrWolf

in weapon loadout window fuel tank models do not show when are added to the SU25T. PC's with 512mb of RAM get timed out when joining MP servers because of the extend game load time.

myself and 3 other 504 members had the same problem.......it seems that 1.1 takes longer to load and ED have set the timeout setting LOW so when your game loads in the end youve actually been kicked !!! This would seem to be a ED oversight and more and more players are having the same prob. Resolution is to buy 1 gig of RAM !! These are the setting that fixed my problem but it also needs to be server side : MP timeouts may be tune in x: your lockon install directory \Config\network\config.lua gameTimeout = 600; pingPeriod = 1; maxPacketSize = 500; playerName = "noname"; idleTimeout = 600;

why would the devs set it so low are they the same as 1.02 settings ? Do i have to take a degree in LUA scripting to play Lockon now ?? :P:D Well myself and Anzac have tried it and it seems to work so we will have to test this online now.

cheers cali but im on a budget here and im cant afford anymore for this game. They said it was CPU power so i just spent £150 on a P4 3gig prescott 1mb cache etc i already bought a the best card i could afford, and to upgrade my RAM im going to have to buy Corsair XMS XL TwinX 3700 CAS2 to match what i have.....i can get 512mb of RAM for £20 but it wouldnt work to good with what i have. So it looks like i have to sell my current RAM and spend between £150-220 on new gaming RAM because im not sticking cheap RAM in my PC !! So if i cant get this problem to go away then i will have to go away until i can.....and that means the death of CAW and Lockonskins.co.uk :(

S77th Dante has had the same problems with 512mb of RAM and then they fixed themselves.........i spoke to a player on HL called SaltyBalls who said he could connect and host with 512mb of RAM....its very strange ive changed nothing with my PC from 1.02 to 1.1 and ive been testing and playing with 1.1 BETA for months and have had no problems..................im realy frustrated as i have just bought a game that is totally useless to me. I wouldnt be surprised if Starforce had something to do with it :(

nomad** we have tried it but frankly why should i have too.....didnt in 1.0 or 1.01 etc and i see no docs for 1.1 where it says i might have these problem.....let alone 3 of us with the same problem. ok more info = S77th Dedicated 1.1 Server = join as Su33 = conected 44th Dedicated 1.1 Server= join as MiG = timeout join as F15 = conected Seems to be pointing towards certain planes (Su25T and MiG havent tried A10 and dont care) ive bought 1.1 for the Su25T end of story, and now i cant fly it.......

ok the player count has risen to 3 now each of us have 512mb of ram but use P4 3gig and AMD XP64bit 3200+ ! All get a timeout on server conection PLEASE CAN ED OR ANYONE HELP MONDAY MORNING AS IM GOING TO BURN MY COPY OF LOCKON AND GO LIVE ON AN ISLAND !!!!!!!!! :(

also the 2 guys who time out reviewed the BETA of 1.1 and dint have this problem flying together online ! We connect into the lobby fine but after pressing FLY the game takes ages to load and we think timesout the connection to the server ??? Somebody help !!

ok tried it again all players connecting at 128/128 5x player 1 - 2 gig of RAM all connected 2x player 512mb timed out everytime has a timeout limit been installed ??

i had the server set at 1024x256kbit (i think it is that) and everyone joined ad 128/128

Hi has anyone else had problems ? The 504th had a 1.1 COOP flight today and i hosted on a 3mbit/400kbit connection. We flew the Joint Strike COOP mission (A10/Su25T) mission and had no end of connection problems, members were ejected from the server and one player had a (timed) 11min load in to mission time !!! Its taking nearly 5 mins for my system to load in to the server by the time i get there my connection the server has timed out !! If i have to buy more RAM for this game then i willbe saying goodbye to the Lockon community for along time. In the weapon loadout screen my fuel tanks wouldnt show on my Su25T but where there in game (this also happened in the beta copy i tested). We also tried a mission freshly built in 1.1 and members would join then when they loaded in to the game wouldnt actually be on the server, so they had to quit then hit fly again to get in to the game. We had AI A2A CAP flying under the ground (screen attached). All on fresh installs on 1.1 and defragged HDD's no firewalls either. Not that impressed by my 1st online outing...and if you know me i only fly online.

mirrored on lockonskins guys and now implemented in the Crimean AirWars storyline !! thanx a bunch guys this is fantastic !

wow this is now being implemented in to Crimean Airwars as a BLUE forces AWACS, Strat Bomber and Tanker base !

yes m8 i know didnt say it couldnt be carried ! I own a book on the Frogfoot and have a few pix of the Kh23ML but what im saying is WHY would you want to use it when you have the Kh25ML ?? It has a longer distance and hard punch......

Have a look at their website :) Google is your friend :D http://www.airshow.net.au/index1.html

IMHO there is no such thing as copy protection......i dont think there has been a game release since the days if so called 'copy protection' that hasnt been copied, released on the 'scene' or patched, cracked or cdkey'd. Ive personally made a copy of my 1.0 Lockon for backup and it only took a slow read speed and CDClone ! They can add StarForce but thats already been hacked and cracked since day one so it wont do any good, copy protection is a waste of money to the DEV's as at the end of the day its only code and code can and willbe cracked. This is the sad truth. Wolfie

Re: 3rd party weapons models (lets discuss the possibilities Kh23 can be added to the Su25 via LOPE but tbh why you would use it over the 25 is a mystery :)
