JaNk0 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 --> http://www.lockon.ru/index.php?end_pos=982&scr=products&lang=ru <-- Looks really nice :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 All those tanks look great but what about the rest?:lookaround: And I dont ask too much. A faint trail for the AMRAAM, because it has one as all footage shows. A wondering IR missile seeker symbol on the HUD during lockon delay would be nice too. .
Kusch Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Manual will be better :devil_2: Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
Pilotasso Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 In what respects do you think the manual should be improved? Or do you mean a real printed one? .
Kusch Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Yes, and key chain. Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
theGozr Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 What about planes ? is it not an aircraft sim ? are they maybe changing some details in the aircrafts, should be with all that time and great team talent and efforts put into humm!!! .. tanks. Fly it like you stole it..
SuperKungFu Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 All those tanks look great but what about the rest?:lookaround: Well we will at least know in the future we will get something on the old flyables. Not only we have a couple people with nice models of their own, looks like ED is also starting to listen up. Knell just posted these model shots. http://www.lockon-models.com/index.php?showtopic=116 Not sure if they will be added in Black shark in time, but the Su-25 looks almost done. I'm not saying this is a priority since it just replaces the model, doesnt change how they move or behave but its a nice feature i would like to see. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
504MrWolf Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 THE SU25K IS PRIORITY !!! :D All my prayers have been answered ! Now i can enjoy the only plane i fly in Lockon in high definition! I think i might crash alot more whilst staring at this beauty ! www.VVS504.co.uk www.lockonskins.co.uk
Witchking Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 comeon ...the su25 deserves to be fininshed. it has AFM but is left with a flanker 2 model...??

SuperKungFu Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 yea i was quite surprised by those pics, especially made by ED. Who knew all my nagging on the forums might have gotten through lol. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kuky Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 This sim is really good one, once ED completes and gives up nice updated, more detailed 3D models of current aircraft, AFM for all (and stupid cheatin' AI ;)) and optimisation of the game code (at least a little bit) all these supperb looking ground units and new chopper from Black Shark... will really make it a supperb sim that I will play for few years to come for sure... and I'd definitely get any new add-on ED makes...:thumbup: PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR
ALDEGA Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 yea i was quite surprised by those pics, especially made by ED. Who knew all my nagging on the forums might have gotten through lol.I think we've learned a valuable lesson: we haven't nagged enough yet.
britgliderpilot Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 What about planes ? is it not an aircraft sim ? are they maybe changing some details in the aircrafts, should be with all that time and great team talent and efforts put into humm!!! .. tanks. (copy-paste standard text for "Black Shark is a CHOPPER sim first and foremost . . . . . " here) Blowing up tanks is the key focus of Black Shark, and it's where the effort's going. That aspect of the sim is going to be utterly spectacular ;) While it is an aircraft sim, it's almost as if ED have been contracted to build a hugely detailed helicopter-only flight sim and just happen to have overlaid it onto Lomac. Major air-to-air changes will have to wait until later. Patience. F-16 sim. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
Pilotasso Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Blowing up tanks is the key focus of Black Shark, and it's where the effort's going. That aspect of the sim is going to be utterly spectacular ;) Well, Im sure Ill try the helicpter for a spin a few times, but after 1 month or 2 everybody online will revert back to planes, Ill bet ya. Major air-to-air changes will have to wait until later. Patience. F-16 sim. Just a suggestion here... better replace "F-16 SIM" with "F-16/Mig-29M SIM" Mentioning the falcon alone is asking for trouble. :D .
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Nice link JaNko! :D But...why does it always seem to be the average member of this forum who is doing the promotion of this sim? Isn't there a PR/advertising person for ED who can make an occasional short post every once in a while? As for helicopters versus airplanes, if this sim gave me half the difference in feel between the two aircraft types that I feel IRL, I might be hooked on a helicopter. But it can't, there's no way it can...that is, until it becomes compatible with devices like what TekaTeka showed us last weekend. Something to give us that same sense of motion. I did a maintenance flight in a 206B yesterday...and OMG what a rush!!! You just don't get that in an airplane!!! :D
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Well, Im sure Ill try the helicpter for a spin a few times, but after 1 month or 2 everybody online will revert back to planes, Ill bet ya. It will take 1 month or 2 to learn basics of Ka-50, that incredible machine. And then it will take 8 to 10 months to perfect it. And then a year or two after that to fly it with confidence and enjoy the world of a helicopter. You want to bet? BTW Lock-On on line community, although the most vocal, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, is very small and does not represent the true volume of Lock On users and preferences around the world.

SuperKungFu Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I think we've learned a valuable lesson: we haven't nagged enough yet. lol, any more nagging from me I'll turn into a girl, or worse, get banned. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kula66 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Any increase in other ground details to go with these pretty vehicles? Hedges/walls/terrain mesh/scrub/rough ground etc.
SuperKungFu Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 well we did see in the black shark video there was some new areas, like the dam, i wonder will it blow up if we hit it? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
theGozr Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Helicopter vs what ? tanks ?, well this will be fun for a week but then when flying a long mission with super sonic jet what will happen? Some decisions are just not serious from ED. Fly it like you stole it..
theGozr Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 It seems that ED are forgetting the Online community wich is the very important for example. Turbulences set to at list 1 or 2 to simulate real flights and this shouldn't affect weapons and certainly DO NOT affect bandwith. I hope to see some water a la Il2 as well . Fly it like you stole it..
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Bet your a** it'll effect gameplay in a helicopter sim. Ever been a slave to DA? Well...you will now. Ever felt the buffeting from spinning rotor blades as you reached 105 knots? Beyond that, depending on the helicopter of course, this buffeting can beat the s**t out of you...not literally, but it might make things difficult in targetting. It makes it a little more difficult to see things you need to see clearly.
Kula66 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Well, Im sure Ill try the helicpter for a spin a few times, but after 1 month or 2 everybody online will revert back to planes, Ill bet ya. Agreed ... on-line A2A is where all the egos get tested and busted!
