Shaman Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 yes. look for patch 1.12 on the http://www.lockon.ru Take a notice that there are two separate file downloads. It's is clearly stated which one of these two is for CD. There is also sezonal pack that you should install before the patch. I'm not quite sure if with LockOn Gold pack you have to do that. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer

It was first released as a download, so they broke it up into more than one download to make things easier. Lock On Gold, being released on CD, didn't have the space/bandwidth/download time issue, so the textures for the new seasons were installed with it. Bottom line - you don't need to install the seasons pack if you have Gold. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg

No, v1.12 includes v1.11. Black Shark is a new addon that isn't out yet - you can't get it. When it does released, you'll have to pay for it . . . . you'll probably be able to buy the download immediately on release or a disk slightly later. It's forecast for some time very soon - there is some scepticism as to whether it'll be out on the forecast date, but it should be this spring/summer. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
littlejohn1959 Posted March 18, 2006 Author Posted March 18, 2006 good stuff on the patches .. im thinking ill be purchaseing black shark .. i do like the helicopter sims . i have commanche and apachee .. theres another question i need to ask , ..if i needs to post another thread , you can let me know .. im in the training .. on some stuff , my instructor is talking ,, as well as the words in the top right hand corner of the screen .. but on the first training ,, theres no VERBAL stuff .. just the words .. i can only hear the jet running along .. is this the norm??? anyways , if you can awnser , thats fine , if not , i may need to post a new thread .. again thanks for the help . this is a great forum . i really dont know what id do without it . cheers ..

RedAssAg05 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 You know, based on the problems I've read about with 1.12a with TrackIR and other various 'bugs' that I don't experience with 1.1 (flaming Cliffs), I am actually disinclined to patch my installation; asked over in the 'bugs' forum (which may have been the wrong place), and no one really overwhelming supported patching. If I'm going to have to delete TrackIR files every time I change the game settings, or witness new anomolies as opposed to those that I'm already familiar with and used to, then I'm more inclined to bide my time until BS and see how that release fares...then, if the program is looking more solid, I'll upgrade. Unless someone can convince me I can't live without 1.12a (not a big online player...don't really have time for MP, unforunately).

Unfortunately, only some of the missions have voiceover. Mainly for practical purposes - it takes less time to write text overlay than record it, and it takes up less space. When the training is being produced by Russians with no Western developer, it's also simpler than trying to find voice actors to create the missions. The few voiceover training tracks included in FC were produced by members of the community (they're credited somewhere and you'll see them around the forums), but even so there wasn't enough time to do them all. Additional voiceover tracks have been made by members of the community without being included in the game . . . . the best ones are by Ironhand. Find his site here: http://flankertraining.com/ironhand/ Problem is that the training tracks only work properly with the patch version they were created on. It's a PITA. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg

Unless someone can convince me I can't live without 1.12a (not a big online player...don't really have time for MP, unforunately). The big deal in v1.12a is the fixing of the American TEWS, a problem I think only happened in MP. If you don't run into that problem and don't need to play online, then patching probably isn't necessary. If you can get a copy of the original v1.12, it might be worth moving to that. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg

[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
britgliderpilot Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 The best way to use them is with the LoMan addon manager. It's basically a utility that creates Zip files with a list of where they should go in your game folder, and then unzips them to the right place automatically. Get it here: http://www.checksix-fr.com/bibliotheque/index.php?page=detail&ID=4100 You install Loman (version 5 was renamed ModMan, btw, just to confuse us), then put the zip files in the Loman addons folder. You run Loman and you get a list of mods and an indicator saying whether that mod is installed or not. Pretty much any mod for Lomac these days is made using (and hence can be installed with) Loman. Make sure you're running the same version of Lomac that the track was recorded on, otherwise it's mostly likely not going to work . . . . http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
littlejohn1959 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 im loading modman now ..ill see what happens .. ha ha . i have one tituorial allready downloaded . being a NEW BEE ,,,this can be very confuseing .. ha ha .. im doing stuff , ive never did before . like this lowman thing . but with YOUR help , im sure ill do fine .. just bare with me , and answer some of the stupid questions that i might ask .. ha ha .again , i more than apprecitate your help . this is a high end game for me .. no doubt its gonna take a while for me to get use to it .. but with help from fellas like you , ill be fine . thanks again . cheers .. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
littlejohn1959 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 ok . the zip file went to lowman .. how do i access that tutorial????? will it be in the training missions when i plays again??? once i gets one titorial running , the others shouldnt be a problem .. hopefully anyways .. ha ha . cheers . [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
peterj Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Tracks can be unpacked anywhere in the LockOn folder (atleast), conveniently in Lock On\Missions\Tracks (that's probably where loman unpacks them) Then ingame you choose SHOW and locate the track.
littlejohn1959 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 good morning .. those zip files are in the lock on folder .. but i cant get em in the SHOW screen?? in the mad mod program ,, i can play /view ,, but all i gets is the talking part .. i have more trouble also .. in the DIFFCULITY setting , it seems its locked up . i was hopeing to set it to NOVICE ,, but nothing moves .. its stuck on custom .. also , i have a saitek cybourg evo , and dont know how to set the trottle and rudder .. man oh man ,, ill never get into the air at this pace..ha ha .. ive read theres alot of people haveing trouble with 1.12 patch i installed yesterday??do ya think that could be the problem?? anyways any help here would be greatly apprecitated .. cheers .. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
littlejohn1959 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 the zip files are just in the LOCK ON FOLDER ,, not in the TRACKS FOLDER . should i cut ,,or copy the zip files ,,to the TRACK FOLDER??maybe then they would come up on the SHOW SCREEN?????? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
britgliderpilot Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 the zip files are just in the LOCK ON FOLDER ,, not in the TRACKS FOLDER . should i cut ,,or copy the zip files ,,to the TRACK FOLDER??maybe then they would come up on the SHOW SCREEN?????? The Zip files need to go into the ModMan folder - they should then show up when you run ModMan, and you should install them. Then when you run Lomac, they should be accessible from the "Show Tracks" option - you just need to hunt down where they've been installed to. (and I appreciate that me talking about unnecessary punctuation is slightly weird, but is there a reason why each comma or full stop in your posts is repeated? :) ) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg

No - the Show option takes you to just one subfolder in your Lomac install, and it's not usually where Ironhand's tracks get installed to. Try looking in Lomac\Missions\Training\Ironhand\ - that's where most of mine ended up. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
SuperKungFu Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Just extract the ironhand's folder to wherever, go into the game under tracks and just browse for it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
