Paul_fox Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Hello folks, Just wanted a bit of help and advice from some experts! I've just bought Lock on Gold and have to say it's incredible - the level of detail is brilliant and I can see I will be spending a huge amount of time getting to grips with it!! As a pilot myself i can truly say the sim is very good... now, just a few quick questions and any replies would be great - 1. Are there any essential downloads? any other useful info/websites? 2. Any top tips to make life easier? 3. Where in the missions/free flights do i find a tanker for the F15?? This is one aspect of the sim I'm really interested to have a go at... I'm sure you can all remember when you started lock on for the first time, so please feel free to pass on your knowledge! Cheers Paul:pilotfly:
walternowi Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Paul_fox, Welcome to the world of Lock On. I suggest you head over to Ironhand's site: http://flankertraining.com/ironhand/index.html There, you can download tutorials, ranging from beginner to advance. These tutorials will help you master the sim, as the learning curve is rather steep. Good luck!

RvETito Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Welcome to the Lock-On community! While exploring the sim don't forget about it's online part, which is quiet strong;) You'll need the HyperLobby client where most people meet- http://hyperfighter.sk "See, to me that's a stupid instrument.

Paul_fox Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 Thanks a million guys - really looking forward to seeing you online - and being an easy target for a while!! Paul
3Sqn_Fudd Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Welcome Paul.... yeh good start.... Get all ther basics down and then reserve some questions for some willing ears, there will be things that conceptually you think you're doing right but they never work... ask someone in person... grab teamspeak and hit up an experienced Lomac'er... You're ahead of the curve though if you're a pilot http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU
