bflagg Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 You mean the radar automatically keeping targets in TWS within gimbal limits? Unfortunately, looks like we won't ever see this in Lock On. Han said it was very difficult and there just isn't enough time. naturally...of course.. Thanks, Brett
RvETito Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Not a dev here, but I can assure you that removing such parts from the current codebase would be a logistical nightmare, also from the terster's point of view. Including or excluding the possibility to fly the Su-25T is one thing, but it isn't practical (and not sensible either) with changes to radar or missile logic. That would also make multiplayer incompatible depending on what upgrade path you took. Thanks for the input Caretaker, I hoped it would be the way you said. The reason of my question is that I got the PC in my sig 10 days ago with 1.02 installed on it and with the incoming 1.2(announced for release this month, untill today:D) I decided to not bying FC yet, hence I had a lot of work to get into Lock-On's details. I'm not for the 15$ it's just the Su-25T that doesn't inetrest me much, unlike the Ka-50 when it comes to strike aircraft. I'm a fan of the airsuperiority fighters and luckly Lock-On has them all, the 1.1 was agreat step ahead finally implementing the real A2A modes to the russian fighters. So I'm glad that the 1.2 will contain them. From what I read in the forums it's not very likely to expect any new and major improvements in the A2A area like AFM for the supersonic planes, realistic system operation(engines start-up, etc). May be in the next title... "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is.

Han said it was very difficult and there just isn't enough time. Thats a great shame D-Scythe ... with each patch/upgrade, for me, flying the Eagle has become more frustrating ... with missing, broken or removed features. I know dev time is limited ... but one of the great features of this game, for me is flying 15s v 29/27s online ... East v West and this is now getting more skewed. I'm sure ED know there own market better than I do ... but for me it would have been nice to see both a/c moving forward, not one forward, one backward ...
