Susto Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 We've published a preview of LOMAC 1.1 BVR radar modes by flying a CAP mission in a MiG-29S. It is written in Spanish, but the images are worth a *detailed* look. http://www.alasrojas.com/lomac/preview11mig/ Best regards, Juan Andrés "Susto" Alas Rojas
ED Team Laivynas Posted January 13, 2005 ED Team Posted January 13, 2005 Thanks for great new preview. :D PS. Only one "-" for me - I don't speak Spanish. Best Regards, Dmitry. "Чтобы дойти до цели, надо прежде всего идти." © О. Бальзак
Susto Posted January 13, 2005 Author Posted January 13, 2005 PS. Only one "-" for me - I don't speak Spanish. Some of our articles are kindly translated into Frech by the Check Six guys (http://www.checksix-fr.com), and, sometimes, also into English by the Biohazard people (http://www.biohazcentral.com/) I guess you will just have to wait :) And thanks by the kind words.

bflagg Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Thanks for great new preview. :D PS. Only one "-" for me - I don't speak Spanish. Go to here: http://world.altavista.com/ and it's easy to figure out from there.. (Babelfish) Thanks, Brett
ED Team Laivynas Posted January 13, 2005 ED Team Posted January 13, 2005 I guess you will just have to wait :) 10x for comments. :) I'v allready read this article with the help of on-line translator PROMT. Of course it was not literary translation, but that was enough. :D Thanks again for the Great news about 1.1! :D All we have to do - is waiting for it. Best Regards, Dmitry.

olaleier Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Brilliant preview! Babelfish may not be ideal, but surely good enough to get the point. :) Very interesting to read about AI behaviour, how they would exit a fight. In 1.0.2, I've dragged AI across friendly SAMs many times and they always take the bait and get shot down. Having a routine that almost gives them human sense of survival (in a subtle way of course) adds very much to gameplay. The best moments in simming are when you feel lucky that you got 4 out of 6, not disappointed that you only got 5 of them. :wink: Also, I am officially in love with the new ejection sequence: http://www.alasrojas.com/lomac/preview11mig/image91.jpg Watch out for the canopy! :D

Guest ThomasDWeiss Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Posted your link at SimHQ - thanks! http://www.simhq.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=37&t=006402#000000
GGTharos Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 You should do the same review WITHOUT AWACS to show off the problems with the radar as well. This is far more important than having AWACS, since a lot of times there is no AWASCS on online public servers either because it wasn't included or because ti gets promptly shot down ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Susto Posted January 13, 2005 Author Posted January 13, 2005 Very interesting to read about AI behaviour, how they would exit a fight. In 1.0.2, I've dragged AI across friendly SAMs many times and they always take the bait and get shot down. It sure was good news to see a bandit not taking the bait, but it only happened 50% of the time. I flew the mission twice and the first time he took the bait and got shot down. No changes in the mission, so I guess it must be some random factor. On the other hand, the F/A-18 from the first engagement that did not get shot down broke the fight every single time. I would like to think it had nothing to do with the Hornet being Spanish and the Tornado being German ;) All in all I think we are in for a great ride when it comes to BVR fighting in LOMAC 1.1. Good news for air-to-air people like me :)
