I've tried that and it doesn't work! :( I think LockOn is referencing a default graphics file and making changes to your customized file when it deems it necessary. I still don't understand how it overwrites a read-only file, but it does. At least it's been promised to be fixed in 1.2 though.

Rhen - this is a known bug and I believe one of the devs commented a few months back that 1.2 (Black Shark) is going to fix it. Until then, I've added a shortcut to graphics.cfg on my desktop, and whenever I enter the Options screen in LockOn (this is what is causing it to revert back to 1.3333), I then exit out and change the aspect ratio back to 1.6 before going flying again.

Got the answer from beterhans today. The track is: Track Name:Ahi Estas Tu by: Chambao Album: Playa Azul: Flamenco Chill Thanks!

Daily bump, still looking for an answer.

Dammit, I'm gonna keep bumping this thread until somebody answers!

Yeah, it's a bit cheesy, but I have to admit I laughed when the first pilot whispered, "lock on, baby!" ...

OK can ANYONE identify the song in this movie? I've even PM'd beterhans and gotten no response. It's really starting to bug me now. :)

Yes, I'd like to know too ... Hans can you identify it? Very nice video, by the way.

Yeah, beautiful work, very nice.

I'm a leftie too, and flew [virtually] with my left hand with a CH Flightstick Pro until around '97 when I bought my first Saitek X36. The HOTAS setup was just too cool to resist, and so I re-learned fly as a rightie. It took a while, and felt completely uncontrollable, but ever since then, I can't fly as a leftie to save my life! I can't write, throw, anything else with my right hand, but for flying, it feels much more natural now.

Guys, I too abhor RealPlayer and had in the past vowed many times to uninstall it and never, ever use it again. A few months ago a need to play .rm files motivated me to search for alternatives, and although I didn't find the Real Alternative mentioned above, I did find this: apparently RealNetworks makes a stripped-down, little-publicized version of RealPlayer called Enterprise, intended for machines that want minimum overhead in their player. Their description is: "RealPlayer Enterprise gives you the best of RealPlayer you know and use at home, but without advertising, without requiring registration, and without consumer features that don’t belong in the workplace." I found a link from a blog that researched alternatives to RealPlayer; all you have to do is fill out this short form (I'm sure Phil McCracken and his friends are worthy downloaders): http://www.realnetworks.com/products/rpe/index.html I've had it for months now, never had any problems playing anything, and haven't noticed any of the usual crap that RealPlayer brings along with it.

Bump ... this is an amazing site, lots of incredible pictures. Finally got around to checking it out yesterday and I don't want others to miss it. BRD, in addition to mousing over the links, if you study the letters a bit you can quickly just transliterate the words and sound them out yourself - then mouse over and see if you were right. I figure most people here oughta have a head start if they are comfortable in the Sues or MiG of LOMAC.

Maaaan ... that was INCREDIBLE. One of the best movies I've EVER seen, awesome stuff! Just amazing.

Before I saw the info bar at the bottom, I honestly thought that first screenshot was REAL. BEAUTIFUL skin! Can't wait to give it a try.

Very nice work, thanks!

Looks great BGP, looking forward to it. Thanks so much for your hard work on this!

Man! You're a mission/campaign MACHINE! I download every one of these that you create, and am impressed by their detail and professionalism ... now if I could just find time to actually TRY THEM all ... Thanks for your efforts here.

This is a GREAT idea, thanks a lot guys! I've routinely kept installs of 1.02 and even Flanker 2.5 (well not anymore) around JUST so I could still learn from Rich's tracks. On a side note, Rich I just wanted to thank you for all the recent tracks you've released. I think a LOT more people download and learn from your tracks than actually post thank-you messages, and so since I've been doing this since the early Flanker 2.0 days - THANKS! :)

Seriously ... Is it possible that this point is somehow related to the above: "Implemented new joystick profile system. Now player can use several joysticks of same type and name. Each joystick instance have a unique configuration file." If not, what does this mean? Does anyone actually use 2 or more of the same joystick in-game? I don't understand what they're talking about here.

21 bucks.

Jeez MonnieRock, with a top-of-the-line system like that ... seems like you can probably afford to just go out and BUY yourself an F-18! :) Why wait for ED?

Ah, that's great to hear, thanks Kula66!

Bumping this back up - I was really hoping one of the devs could comment on this and whether it plans to be fixed sometime ...

I ordered the VE addon for my TrackIR3Pro from eDimensional about 2 weeks ago and a few days ago I got a secret-sounding e-mail from them, introducing the TIR4 (minus any details however) and saying that if I wanted to wait another few weeks, I could instead order this version. Since I just bought the TIR3Pro a few months ago, and just built a new system, I haven't got the extra money to get the TIR4. And it would be nice to know some actual performance details first too. :)

If this will somehow let us get around having to change the joystick axis response in LockOn whenever switching from the Su-25T (linear response) to any other plane (curved response) or vice versa, I'm all for it.
