vanir Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Hi all. I've got LOMAC 1.02 to which I've added some of the great mods at lockon files. Pretty happy so far but just wanted to explore what I might be able to tweak. I play strictly offline, so no server acceptance issues and don't do online purchasing so unless FC appears at the local games shop on dvd I won't be adding that. What I'm interested in is any tutorials/guidebooks (pdf or whatever) for tweaking any element of the sim (my interest is specifically getting it as technically accurate as reasonably possible). Any help along these lines, where to search or links, for version 1.02 would be really appreciated. Cheers. ------------- For example...one thing bothering me is the Foxbat/Foxhound performance. According to my figures, the Foxhound for example ought to be getting up to 3000km/h true at 17500m (2.8 Mach) without trouble, it's a cruise speed for the D30F2 engines. The Foxbat with R300BD engines (PD/PDS and all RB variants) ought to scoot to 2.5 Mach pretty easily from about 11000m with a possible 2.8 Mach at 13000m (danger of engine overspeeding, ie. catastrophic failure above 2.5 Mach however). Both these ratings are with full loadouts according to 93-94 Janes (P variant couldn't get top speed and had reduced service ceiling with full missile load with R300B engines). Problem is I can barely make 2000km/h in LOMAC 1.02 for either at 11000m, 1800km/h at 9000m and 700km/h at 17500m with loadouts and acceleration times are...well the fuel runs out. Am I doing something wrong? Are there any fixes anywhere? A Fulcrum outperforms them in LOMAC, managing 2.25 Mach at 10000m without trouble. But...I realise hard coded FMs etc. Probably nothing I can do about this most glaring fault I have with LOMAC. Generally any other tweaks or accuracy improvements would help, maybe I can look past the wholly inaccurate, purely cosmetic Foxbat/Foxhound models by failing to use them and concentrate on other elements of the sim, or things that I can actually work with, being I do quite like the sim.
