    FC 1.12 Patch Readme

    in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2

    Posted

    I'm still getting what I assume is the F15 radar glitch with multiple "ghost" targets on it, even after 1.12a, and wondered if this a bug or a radar jamming! Please excuse the ignorance if it's the latter :(

    Better late answer then no answer :)

    I think you are confusing radar screen with TWS(Threat Warning System) and in russian aircrafts knows as RWR. Patch 1.12a fixed "ghost" radar paints and spikes showing up on TWS/RWR.

    What you're possible seeing on your radar screen are probably "strobes". These are contacts that have their ECM active jammers on. But to be completely sure you could have taken some screenshots and have them attached to your post.

    Dont you think that afterburner texture needs a bit of fixing though?

    Negative. I like the way it is - that it is long.

    That's how it is. That's how I've seen it with my own eyes, and that's how you see on many photographs: http://www.voodoo.cz/tomcat/new/f14471.jpg

    I know there is Oxyd's mod for afterburner that shortens by half and adds some hollywood colours to it. But I actually got rid of it.

    I think AB could actually be done with effects that is used on missiles. It would look more powerfull.

    "Airborne!"

     

    Su-33 takes off from carrier in very bad weather and catches last glimpse of daylight. Notice the aircraft is loaded with Kh-41 (SS-N-22 Sunburn) anti-ship missile and is also fully prepared for BVR air-to-air combat. Because of heavy weapons loadout it has just enough fuel to meet with aerial tanker or to abort its mission in case of sudden emergency or technical failure.

    hope ED could configure the game engine to support duel core because the cpu is still the major bottleneck for this game. once they got that up and running a lot more people can play.

    That would be a real breakthrough. Looking forward to that. It's something that this engine really needs.

    You have to set all the STPTs to "refueling" (well except T/O and landing). If you set any of them to "turning point" then it won't act right until it hits the next "refueling". Hope this helps!

    It seems I don't need refueling(refueling) waypoint at all.

    I've set AIs flight routes in sucha way that they are extremaly low on fuel near the tanker, and they actually refuel! Tanker was set on a loop.

    Also in multiplayer tanker also allows for refuel when he's on a loop - problem is that he pilots like a drunk bastard.

     

    I have one more problem with AIs. Serious one.

    It's about S-3 and F-14s.

    When there's a pair of F-14s comming for refuel to S-3. After lead plane has refueled wingman just follows him without refueling at all! Of course he crashes minutes later.

    Does anyone know what's the use of:

    refueling(refueling) waypoint?

     

    How do you make AI aircrafts to go for the tanker - because they somehow ignore it.

     

    If the tanker logic is set as:

    refueling(refueling)->turning(beginloop)->turning(endloop)->land()

    all waypoints (except land) are set to altitute 5000, speed 650,

    why does the IL tanker sometimes behaves totally irrational while I'm connected to it - keeps slowing down or keeps climbing :mad:

    When JTIDS was first introduced on the F-15, the mainstay of the eastern block fighters were mig-21's armed with rear aspect atol's. ;)

    It was the year 1984 and even F-15A's were retrofited. SO your using a bit of imagination thinking that its realistic for 1990's aircraft not to have it.

    I didn't say what's realistic or what's not. Jest few tester joints had it. That's it. Cs weren't upgraded with it on wider scale. The plane in the game resembles the version which was not upgraded with datalink.

    So, sorry, dream on. Better luck maybe in Fightershmops. :lol:

    *cough* F-15C needs new 3D model, *cough

    sorry I just had to whine again about flyable 3D models ;)

     

    Original poster complained about lack of data-link. As far I know it is realistic on this version of aircraft and been discussed enough times.

     

    Also I'd like its arestor hook to be usable. So f.e. airport you taken off from should be by default equipped with those emergency lines you can use. (we could call them using the radio|comms menu).

     

    And one thing that bugs me most with F-15. Why the hell can't we switch ILS to diffrent airport!

    I think from here you get those black bars in the movie. 1280X1024 is a 5/4 aspect image. your project output is 800X600 which is 4/3 aspect. Your movie gets scaled down in a 800X600 frame at 750X600, that lives 25 black pixels to each side. Even if you record halfsize the proportions will be the same.

     

     

    I actualy prefer those bars than making a movie in a 5/4 aspect that will look stretched on a 4/3 monitor :).

    That might be it! If it is so, that means the cure for it is to record footage at 1280x960 which is proper 4:3 aspect, or fix from 5:4 to 4:3 during movie editing.

    Thanks guys. Downloading now!

    Fantastic avatars :thumbup: I love these drama-propaganda poster style.

    I'll post my critique about the movie later in this post.

     

    edit (okey, I watched it):

    I won't molest you at all. I understand this is a show off of your move making skills. This is instant classic for me. It's amazing work really. I love your choice of music - I personally find good electronica music suiting these kind of footage the best (not some cheap rock). So everything about that movie is well well hell above average! Who'd think that your first production could be THAT good. No - and it has nothing to do that one of you are from the same country as I am. I just love your movie guys. Everything about that movie is good (though I think lens-flares on missiles are not necessary). Oh, and Magda forgot to sugar your tea - once.

     

    That's it.

     

    I'm waiting impatiently for your next production.

     

    I'd really like to meet you guys on 504 server and talk to you on TS :) Treating you as one of few moviemakers-celebrities already.
