After a few experiments, I think there's a bug in that particular mission, since there is no problem in the quick start mission of Su25T. Normally, trimming will cause the stick in the cockpit to move, but in the "introduction" training, I see no such problem. Maybe it's because I am 1.12a and cannot play that track? BTW, I still find Su-25T very hard to fly, whenever I go over 600kmh, the airframe starts shaking. Is this by any means dangerous?

Is it true that Su-25T tends to pitch up too much? I was flying the "introduction" training of Su25T, and no matter how much trim I added (Ctrl+;), it was still going up. What have I done wrong?

It happened to me for a few times. I was on my glideslop to an airfield, then suddenly the computed glideslop was switched to a nearby airfield, I have to manualy switched it back. OT and BTW, is there a way to cycle the waypoint backward?

In Su33 campaign mission 2, you are assigned to take off from a carreir at night, use Kh41 to destroy an enemy ship, and fight off 2 or 3 F-5 on the way. Now the problem is: my Kh41 rarely hit its target, the accuracy increased a little bit if I told my wingman to fire his too. (the mssion was considered a "success" even if I didn't hit anything, tough). What are the optimum lauching parameters if Kh41? Thanks.

Thanks, changing to English setting allows me to use ModMan. But then I have to change it back to Chinese to run Lockon, maybe I should reinstall Lockon in an English environment.

Thanks for the quick reply. I manually installed the mod but there were no "BETTY" and "COMPUTER" folders in the mod. And this's why I lost the sound. I copy the original BETTY and COMPUTER folder into the modded sound folder and the problem is now solved. Too bad I cannot use ModMan5.0 since I am using traditional Chinese WinXP. Looking forward to ModMan6.0.

I installed TekaTeka sound mod which converts the russian radio comm to english. But now I have no betty warning (e.g. radar failure), and the subtitles that used to appear on the upper left corner now only appears for millisecond. Is this what the mod would do? Can I keep the english radio but have the warning soud back? Thanks Teka Teka.

I try the Su-27 Hot Wind campaign recently, and I am not sure what's the proper action to do in the 1st mission. I took off, fly the assiged waypoints, then suddenly the two F-5's got shot down by whatever it is. Then I land and mission complete. Is this what it's meant to be? I want to know more about the real life procedures of CAP mission. Should I engage all bandits. And when I get a spike, should I stick to the planned route until they are closed or should I point my nose to them immediately?

I play with the CD version of Flaming Cliff, brought online from lockon.ru, and installed the CD patch 1.12a, which is the uppermost out of the three pathces that can be found in the English download section. I suppose I am doing fine here, am I? And Ironhand, I will try the .bat solution and see if it works. Though I've been pretty busy lately and didn't get the time to fly. Thanks anyway.

Are you using Chinese WinXP? There's a known issue about ModMan having problems in Chinese systems. But to my best knowledge a fix is not out yet.

Thanks for the reply. I received my PC just 2 weeks ago from DELL, fresh with its WinXP Pro. I have also performed a Windows update on every thing. My LO install sequence was : Lockon CD -> Lock FC CD -> patch 1.12a Things that I have tried: (1) Do nothing. Outcome - random crash to destop, with the "send error report" thingie. (2) Turn on all DEP EXCEPT lockon.exe, Outcome - no improvement (3) Add a file called lockon.exe.local, Outcome - two error messages on starting the game, one is the msvcrt.dll stuff, the other is like ++Library or something, then crash to desktop immediately. I have actually asked the same question a few days ago on http://www.lockonfiles.com forum, when lockon.ru was down. And it surprised me that many people have the same problem but still there's no solution. So I hope ED would spare a little time and give us a hotfix.

Please allow me to bump this thread. Has anyone come up with a solution? I recently upgrade my PC and is having the same problem. spec: Intel Core2 CPU 6300 @1.86GHz 2GB RAM GeForce7900GS WinXP Pro LOFC 1.12a

wow, can't wait.

Excellent. I like the way you handle the panel lines.

Awesome!!! I can't believe you didn't show us your WIP. Can we have a shot of the gear mechanics?

I suppose it is a software problem, so it may be solved after I had fromatted/upgrade my PC in the distant future.

-Choice of red, amber or green button illumination -Throttle unit illumination varies depending on throttle position Why would they think of these as selling points? My Chrismas tree has even more colors. But putting that aside, the X-52 was a nice stick. And now it has two more rotary switch, maybe for rudder trimming. For those who are considering this stick, here is my 2 cents: 1. The wheels on the throttle are not very precise (large deadzone), drive someone crazy if you need accurate trimming (assuming that you are using them for triming) 2. The joystick gets squeaky after prolonged use, but I guess that's the same for all stick. Some deadzones, but again, I think it's inevitable. 3. Mouse drift issue - the mini-stick makes your mouse cursor runs like mad on your screen. But the Saitek support guy insists that it should not be a problem.....Could be "FIXED" by setting it as bands, not mouse... Other than these, it's just a matter of tastes (and wealth) .

Oh my, you must be working days and nights on it and start talking to yourself.... Keep up the good work.

I don't see any bouncing off in the youtube video, would you please tell me where it is? But isn't the bouncing too much in the demo video? It's almost like they are tennis balls. BTW, can we model secondary projectiles too?

Thank god that you are still with us, Strikemax. Great model. Do you plan to leave it as a third party addon or let ED integrate it? BTW: could there be a high poly version with rivets and panel lines modelled on it? Of course it may not be practical FPSwise, but it sure will make nice screenies.

Too bad that Thrustmaster is not considering upgrading their Cougar. C'mon, why would you expect me to spend like $400 to get a stick with cheap pots and plastic buttons, then another $400 to go over the trouble of modding the stick? If Thrustmaster even try renewing their line of production and do better promotions, they surely will win a larger share of the market. But right now Saitek seems like a more friendly choice. BTW, is there any reason why only there are only 2 Hat switch on the Saitek's? How expensive could it be to add one more hat switch?

It seems that they are the same as the original X-52. Will there be any differences? a HOTAS like this together with the coming Saitek rudder pedal should be an economical choice, for not so rich man like me.

I don'tknow, but is this the first stck having the throttle placed on the far side of the base? Doesn't look comfortable to me. But I must say it looks much better than other Saitek series, which are often too Sci-Fi style.

Reinserting the sticks give me no luck. However the glitch is occasional. Right now my PC is working fine but then the next second it would tell me that I have not enough resources and all sort of crap. Well, I don't really know what type of board or RAM I am using......but my spec is : AMD 64 3400+ 768MB RAM GeforceMX400 Just captured a shot of my performace tab, sorry that it is in Chinese, but I think the placement of the relevant data should be the same in the English version.
