Ice Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 This thread is dedicated to New Pilots flying Lomac 1.02 (Update for Flaming Cliffs Soon) To play online, patch 1.02 is required. It is also important that LOMAC be patched from a fresh install of the original 1.00. There are known issues patching from 1.01 to 1.02. If 1.01 is installed then LOMAC must be completely uninstalled including the "Eagle Dynamics" directory in "Program Files". Then reinstall LOMAC and patch using the 1.00 to 1.02 patch. It can be found here Hyperlobby is the only place to play online. It can be downloaded here Most players use Teamspeak and its what we the 169th recommend. It can be downloaded here We have a Teamspeak Server linked to our Homepage. there is nearly allways a few panthers connected and we are allways happy to help out the new guys. Once you register to the 169th Panthers Website you will be able to just click on the Teamspeak window and join our "Ready Room" Channel It is extremely important when joining a server that the connection speed be altered to "XDSL 128/128 Kbit/s". This is done at the Multiplayer screen by switching to "STOP" and then changing the default setting "Modem 33.6" to "XDSL 128/128 Kbit/s" The Golden Rules ** Allways Read The Brief ** Most servers do not allow Vulching (shooting aircraft whilst they are still on the ground) ** If you change your loadout or create a new one it is most important to SAVE IT. If you dont save the load then your aircraft missiles will be invisible to everyone else on the server. Not only that but your kills will not register and you will not get a score. ** Do not use Mods unless the Server specifies. Not only are they looked apon as cheats, but they also make servers unstable when they don't have the same mods installed. Mods are not scenery changes. mods are aircraft modifications like the F16 and F18 or Loadout mods such as the AIM54C on Su27's ** Most of all have fun and respect your opponents. "The best pilots are not the ones with the most kills. They are the ones who can acknowledge a good kill". Originally posted here
Fellblade Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 This is for new players? Excellent, however: Most servers do not allow Vulching ^^ that means nothing to new players ;)
Dmut Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Excellent article, Ice, keep it alive! :) I stuck it to the top "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

Dmut Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 SimHQ is publish a good tutorial for newbies about setting up the router and configuring network for playing LO over Internet. http://www.simhq.com/_technology/technology_037a.html "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

S77th-GOYA Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Again a reminder: by this time there are bound to be many people who have version 1.01 on their installation disks. I bought my disk about a year ago and it has 1.01. Please do not blanketly tell people to use the 1.00>1.02 patch. Each person needs to check to see which version is on their disk.

Each person needs to check to see which version is on their disk.There is absolutely no problem when you use a 1.0-1.02 patch on 1.01. The only disadvantage to use 1.0-1.02 patch is - you'll have to DL a few MB more, comparing to 1.01-1.02 patch "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

Ice Posted February 15, 2005 Author Posted February 15, 2005 If I am incorrect I will modify my post but my understanding is that one of the known issues patching 1.01 to 1.02 is that EA missiles are still available to load and use in online flying.
S77th-GOYA Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Several months ago. there was someone who thought he fixed a bug by using the 1.00>1.02 patch on his V1.01 disk. I posted a question on the UBI forum about this and was told by someone from ED to use the .01>.02 patch. If it really doesn't matter...cheers!
