One more LockOn copy

[Starlight]

Today I was looking at the flight simulation shelf on the local mall, when a man came close to me and started to ask questions about flight sims. Then he wanted an advice for a flight simulation with good graphics and which was about the F-15, and with no doubt I answered: "LockOn!". Five minutes later a copy of Lockon was in order at that store.

 

Ok, ED or UBI, it's 5.00 euro plus V.A.T., thanks ;)

I try my hardest to get my friend's who play FPS games to give lomac a try. They are all scared to tackle the "learning curve". Why is this an issue? The process of learning the sim was to me the best part, so much so that now that I'm not learning as much new stuff lomac is becoming a bit stale.

 

Each game I've ever bought was the most fun during the learning phase, then got old and repetitive as I learned all of it. Flight sims IMO have the longest learning phase, so therefore more life.

Most people just want to strap in and start shooting. Its hard to love SIM if never payed attention to the aviation world like we do.

MTV induced short attention span, TV-bred lazy brains and instant gratification seeking are creating a dumb generation.

agreed about the learning curve bit, i too enjoyed the leap from total novice to learner to then being able to use the radar, mfd, pacs, tews etc.

at first lucky to live thru a mission, and then not being happy unless i returned with mission accomplished and landing successfully :)

 

just jumping into something and blasting away is precisely the shallow desire of the average console gamer, not us though, we love hours of struggle with both software and hardware, learning the game and the tinkering with settings to achieve the best possible performance, helping and learning from one another, its just a completely different scene.

good luck on their conversion, perhaps an accelerated learning curve might help, rather than force them to learn as you did, maybe give them a basic run down on what you need to get flying and launching missiles etc, that should get them in, let em get a few kills and they will want more, more i tell ya :)

 

some folks like a good book and once they start reading they just cannot put it down.

lockon is my book :) .

and looking forward to the next chapter.

If he doesnt like steep learning curves tell him to stay away from Americas Army.
