Weta, do you think that ED's opinion of Starforce doing it's job would be to prevent paying customers from using its software because of a random, unforeseen accident with a piece of plastic?

Who says you can't?

They complain about missiles because they are modelled poorly. It is very simple. And yes, what you suggest is correct. SARH missiles are less effective than ARH missiles. That part is modelled correctly.

1. No, not like it used to be. But enough to fly with, sometimes. It depends on time of day. 2. Not me, not by a large margin. 3. No. Not sure what the second part of the question means.

The problem is your resolution. If I remember right, you must be set to 800x600 to record your mouse cursor. Ironhand knows for sure.

Can I ask why the Avenger counts as 5 points while: Osa 9A33 ln (SA-8 Low Alt SAM): 2 Osa 9A33 ld (SA-8 Low Alt SAM Reload): 1 2S6 Tunguska (Sa-19 Air Defense System): 3 Strela-1 9P31 (Sa-9 Low Alt SAM): 2 Strela-10 9A35 (SA-13 Low Alt SAM): 2 Tor 9A331: (Sa-15 Med Alt SAM): 3 ZSU-23-4 Shilka (A/A Gun): 2 ???

1.12b = Vista or XP. I heard 1.12a isn't available anymore.

So air-to-ground scoring only counts points for kills and is not affected by crashes or friendly kills?

Very generous. :thumbup: What is the formula for calculating the scores?

Man's setting?

Oleg has stated that G limits for all his planes are 15 Gs. Then wing shears start. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/23110283/m/493105555?r=739100065#739100065 WWII planes are not relatively fast compared to these jets but very high Gs can be achieved. I only mentioned the P-51 because it was the most prevalent wing shearer because of it's ultra-responsive elevator modelling, even at high speeds.

Do you know the G limit Oleg has set for wing shear in IL2? Have you ever lost a wing in Oleg's P-51?

Throttle setting makes no difference if you are pulling 7 Gs. 7 Gs is 7Gs regardless of airspeed.

Abacus is notoriously awful. I doubt it will have a MP element. I would be interested to see how they worked out machine guns in MSX, if in fact they did. Overall, I'll pass.

No new patches in that time. Install LOMAC, then install FC and patch to 1.12a or 1.12b. You must have 1.12b if you have Vista but if you run XP, it doesn't matter which patch you choose. Be sure to check lockonfiles.com for mods.

S! TuAF. The stats look very nice.

That first kill is a great feeling. I recorded a track of my first LOMAC online flight.

I can't. I have the download version. :smartass:

Poko, what did ED promise?

The focus of this thread seems a bit strange. The problem isn't so much exploits as it is under-modelled missiles/radar. No one needs to purposefully exploit these missiles. Everything in that movie is a real defensive tactic. Chaffing, high-G maneuvers, beaming, etc., cannot be considered exploits. Doing so puts blame on pilots when the blame is really with the code. While NOE is a real tactic, as far as LO:FC goes, it may be considered an exploit. But again the problem is with the coding. It took me quite a while let go of the memories of when Lock On was actually enjoyable to fly. Hearing things similar to "Lock On is great but the missiles are horrible" makes me think that others are having the same trouble facing the reality of 1.12a/b. For a BVR pilot, Lock On is not great. In fact, for a BVR pilot, Lock On sucks badly. It was great fun in the past but now it is an exercise in frustration. It used to be that spamming missiles was frowned upon as a noob move. Now spamming is SOP because of the high likelihood of a missile fired from an excellent position will simply not hit its target. Who needs that? I, for one, will not consider another ED product because of their actions regarding Lock On. And it is damn shame because at one time, it was the best sim I've ever played, with the potential to become even better. But the sad truth is that ED has ruined it and left it for dead. And abandoned its customers in the process.

It doesn't matter.
