HavokFlight Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 First let me say how great the game is and how great you guys are. I flew Flanker 2.0 and LOMAC when it was new but RL got in the way ... now I am back. I am sure this has been answered, but my seacrh did not find a specific answer to my question, so sorry if it has been asked and answered. I see various ships in the equipment lists and encyclopedia, but when I try to add freighters to the Russian side, they are not on the list. Di I have to enable something for them to appear ? I saw something about turning civilian traffic on ... is this required for the extra ships to be in the list ? Are they civilian ships ? If so, why is the passenger ship (small one) listed ? How do you turn civilian traffic on ? I am sure I will have a bunch of questions, but this is the first one that came to mind. Thanks Mechanical engineers design weapons ... civil engineers design targets.
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Civilian ships are :- Elnya Ivanov Yakushev Zvezdny Just add them in the Mission Editor using the ADD NEW NAVAL GROUP button on the left side of the screen. Civilian traffic option does not affect the ships. Civilian traffic ON/OFF will add in the moving vehicles (cars,trucks) on the roads and moving trains on the railways. It has an FPS hit, depends on your rig whether it will bother you. The moving trains look cool - a guy called Birdy_666th did a timetable so you can find where they are.... http://666th.co.uk/downloads/index.php (near the bottom of the page - file is called LOFC_trains_time-table.xls) The civilian road traffic is very sparse as there are tons of roads in the Lockon map and having a realistic density of traffic would bring any system to its knees, so you won't see many cars out there. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose!

HavokFlight Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Old ME questions - thanks Thanks. I had not tried ADD NEW NAVAL GROUP. I thought I just wanted to add a few cargo ships "bringing in support units and cargo" for my mission. A naval group to me seemed to be a combat group and I over looked that. Thanks I will give that a go tonight. :doh: Mechanical engineers design weapons ... civil engineers design targets.
HavokFlight Posted June 8, 2007 Author Posted June 8, 2007 That worked thanks I fixed it. My other problem was that the encyclopedia showed those ships as DRY CARGO SHIP 1 and not by the name. So now its just trial and error to get the right ship by name. Thanks again Mechanical engineers design weapons ... civil engineers design targets.
