drawback Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 hi all, Im new to lock on and these forums and i was just wondering if you ever get to attack fixed positions such as bunkers or bulidings. So far ive only been attacking convoys. thanks in advance
AKULA_OPTIMUS Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Hmm what version of the game do you have? In the 1.02 you can only put vehicles and ships, but on the 1.1 (1.12a now), you can put buildings, like bunkers, radio stations, houses, tanks...............
drawback Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 i have 1.12a, will i get to attack these in the campaign or will i have to create my own missions? thanks
AKULA_OPTIMUS Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Yes, of course you can put them by yourself:thumbup: . In the mission editor select static objet, and then buildings. If you want to know how they are, just go to the encyclopedia and click on the button with the bridge. Hope it helps:smartass: .
drawback Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 thanks that helps a lot and thanks for the quick reply. Air to air combat is too hard for me so im sticking to ground attack to get used to the game was just looking for some more targets :)
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 ......was just looking for some more targets :)Check out the Caucasus Tour, it shows you a bunch of power stations, bridges, oil facilities, etc that you can set up as targets in your own air to ground missions.

ZoomBoy27 Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I've some 1.1x missions that have buildings placed but an A-10 Mission called "Mountain Pass 757" specificly targets them, It's a mission that targets a variety of new buildings and targets that came out with the Flaming Cliffs add-on. Based on a mission in "Hold Back the AEF" for the Su-25T. There were ammo depots,watch-towers, barracks, HQs, and pill-boxes as targets To take a closer look in the Mission Editor; the unlock password is "gilliguck" See my sig ZoomBoy My Flight Sims Page - Link to My Blog - Sims and Things - DCS Stuff++ - Up-to-Speed Guides to the old Lockon A10A and Su-25T - Some missions [needs update]

drawback Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 thanks for all the replies guys! Just another question how do i know if a missile has been fired at me? I know the tone changes when im being tracked then locked onto, but i never know when a missile has been fired until i fell a thud and my plane going down in flames.
AKULA_OPTIMUS Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Hmmmm, ironhand has a fabolous site with tutorials, I learned how to avoid missiles with them. Must have page:thumbup: : http://www.flankertraining.com/ironhand/ One more: http://bvr.jpn.org/lockon/training/FC_eng/index.html There are more, but now I don´t remind...............
drawback Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 i looked at that site but the link to modman doesnt work and im not sure how to install them
VapoR Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 thanks for all the replies guys! Just another question how do i know if a missile has been fired at me? I know the tone changes when im being tracked then locked onto, but i never know when a missile has been fired until i fell a thud and my plane going down in flames. Sometimes there is no launch tone, for example if the missile is IR-guided. You will learn to HATE Strelas, Iglas, Avengers, etc . . . :cry:
drawback Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 this game is so much hard then il2 all i have to cope with on there is sinper gunners but they dont last long when im in a fw190 :joystick:

Brit_Radar_Dude Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 i looked at that site but the link to modman doesnt work and im not sure how to install themMany of Ironhands tutorials are now movies so you can just watch them in your favorite MediaPlayer. This gets around the problem of Lockon tracks being quite sensitive to being replayed on the same version of Lockon that they were made on. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose!

drawback Posted October 4, 2006 Author Posted October 4, 2006 thanks all, ive just watched two of the training films, the strela hunt and outmaneouvering sams. Now i just have to practice, practice and more practice!

drawback Posted October 4, 2006 Author Posted October 4, 2006 one last question, when ive been hit which is normally every sortie is there anyway to turn the damage message things off? thanks in advance
Ironhand Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 one last question, when ive been hit which is normally every sortie is there anyway to turn the damage message things off? thanks in advance SHIFT-N. Each press turns off one warning. If you have multiple warnings, you have to press it once for each.

Maulkin Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I think "SHIFT+N" is the default key combo to turn off a warning. But keep in mind it will only turn off one warning. You will likely have to hammer that key combo a number of times to turn them all off.
