Aeroscout Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 This is my most recent film, I finished it yesterday. It's short, only about 3 minutes long, but I hope it has a powerful message. What I wanted to get across was that we have a beautiful sim. I always liked the sunsets in lockon, so I tried to capture this in my movie. When many of us play online, we tend to forget what lockon really is. People complain about ECM strobing, and chaff dumping and missile spamming, and how this can be more realistic and that can be more realistic and yada yada. However, maybe we should take a step back and realize that, frankly, lockon is beautiful. What we have is not an arcade game, but an honest to god sim. Granted, it's not as realistic as F4, but it's all there, and if it's not the exact procedure used in real life, it's at least represented. Does realism equal fun? Do you look at a game and say "it's not realistic, so it can't be fun."? I don't. Maybe we all should think about this when we fire the sim up. I truly hope this community stays strong until a fighter is released for DCS, and maybe even after this. There is no other fast mover sim that comes close to lockon in terms of graphical detail, realism and community support. Lockon is beautiful. This appeared to be a theme a few months ago, and it's still true. Lets keep lockon going for many more years to come. It will be a sad day indeed when we log on to HL and no one is there. Any way, here's the movie. I had difficulty uploading to Stage6. I'll add the hi-res version once I get it straightened out. 1 DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
Aeroscout Posted February 25, 2008 Author Posted February 25, 2008 Seeing as stage6 is now gone, heres the high res version for download. http://rapidshare.com/files/94908321/LockonSunset.zip.html It's a shame about stage6. :( 1 DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
monotwix Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Nice seem indeed... Where did you get it? It's a good idea for making a sun rise video. And come on, one for the weather...:) Oops! I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 You are absolutely correct, it isn't always all about the combat in Lockon. Often I set up in a different part of the map / different times of day / different weather and simply fly around following a road or a river to see where it goes and enjoy the view.

EvilBivol-1 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Nice clip Aeroscout. Ironically, it brings similar emotions to one of the first LO community movies, made with the demo release before the game was even out.

warthogmadman987 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 what song is that, the one with the guitar? I really liked it.
CapnGimp Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Love it, thanks! What mods are you using for all that sharp scenery? You sold me on downloading them with this vid. Appreciate it if ya can list them. I-5 2500K@3.3GHz 8GB AMD_5850 Linux and Win7 for games X52 working on getting IR built
Boberro Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Nice video, Yes I agree not always we want fight, I sometimes set a sunset too to fly around and relax ^^. But for present standards or little earliers FC is old and has too high requirements relation to graphic art. Waiting for High-res. 1 Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
Aeroscout Posted February 26, 2008 Author Posted February 26, 2008 what song is that, the one with the guitar? I really liked it. Umm... it's Dire Straits "on Every Street" I cut and pieced it together so as to avoid the lyrics, but I really liked the song and it fit nicely. Love it, thanks! What mods are you using for all that sharp scenery? You sold me on downloading them with this vid. Appreciate it if ya can list them. Sharp scenery? I'm just using the stock terrain for this one... but the runways were grandsurf's mod. I just copied them out of the CDDS file and put them in the temp texture folder so that I could have them in all seasons. The other mods include almost all of TekaTeka's mods, a highres Su-27 skin, walmis's F-15C model and Mizziy's MiG-29 Skins. I also had my River mod in there, but I don't think there were any shots of it. These are all great mods and don't take a really fast computer to run. Thanks for all the nice comments... it was kinda hit or miss with this video.
