Announcing Flaming Cliffs 2.0

[GGTharos]

It'll be looked at.

[*Rage*]

It'll be looked at.

 

Still to be looked at??

[Vecko]

You know i don't care, if you like you can make ET selfdestruct if is launched without valid IR lock,but i if i have full lock on hot target pls don't steal my "missile energy"...Or i'm asking to much?;)

 

 

No news on the chaff issue yet.

 

Excuse me,i don't understand this,you mean you don't know or you can't say because you are in testers team?

I have a version of 1.12A heavily modded. I love all the mods, so my question is, is it possible to have two versions installed at the same time? Like 1.12A and 2.0? If so, how? I hate to uninstall Lock On completely with all the good mods and then install a clean versions ready for 2.0. I know this can be done for IL-2 1946. I have one unmodden version 4.09m and one modded (UI 1.2). Works like a charm!

Just needs to be checked out more thoroughly. You may be right, and you may be wrong.

The real ET has significantly less range than the ER, the question is, does the LO one match the RL one or is it too short :)

Last engagement I was in with one of those on my tail, it seemed just right.

TY for answer GG...

I was under impression that "range" in all tables that I have seen was a range at which you will be able to launch the missile, and not its ballistic range. And launch range is related to the seekers ability to lock the target. Meaning, ER has "longer range" cos it can lock to its target at greater distances then ET. Consequently, ET has shorter range cos it is not able to lock its target at same distances.

There is no way that ballistic range can be solely related to aerodynamic shape of the seeker heads, cos once ER drops below Mach 1, it's cone is producing more drag then ET's rounded seeker.

[GGTharos]

No, what we have shows kinematic range (there might be some large targets that can be locked onto quite far by an IR seeker). The seeker is an additional constraint on top of this. As for the missile dropping subsonic, that's going to be rather late in the game and it won't have a huge significance. Further, in general it is accepted that a rounded seeker dome vs. ogival will cost you about 15%-20% range, IIRC.

If not trouble (or military secret, heh), could you be so kind to post those tables?

[GGTharos]

I will ask. They are not secret but they are not mine to post.

It's Close! I can feel it in my Bones.

 

Dusting off the Credit Card........:D

[Boberro]

Bob doesn't feel close release :P

 

I am a bit upset about new price, but...

[element1108]

Still a good $20 off some really crap FSX addons ;)...

 

I'm hoping it's close Vipe, I can't hardly stand it any longer ;)

Just increase the Retail Price of your Mig Parts for sale........:P

[Distiler]

Seems like it will upgrade also plain LockOn, not just Flaming Cliffs as it was stated in the original press release. Thats a good one.

[Pilotasso]

For someone who wasted 300 Euro on a G940 thats peanuts :D

[Renato71]

I like this part:

This software will both upgrade Lock On to Flaming Cliffs 2 and Upgrade Flaming Cliffs to Flaming Cliffs 2.

 

And, I do not mind to pay 29.99 USD. And, I hope that Russian customers will finally have their chance to contribute to the same extent as we are doing it :D

 

PS - what about the date? price upgrading needs something to soften the pain :smilewink:

PS2 - I have no plans to buy G940 ar anything else, but I will take donations. Baby diapers are priority.

[Nate--IRL--]

To be honest I don't mind too much about the price increase, I always thought it was on the cheap side myself.

 

But ED did say they'd look at a combined FC+FC2 product for upgrading Lock on for about ~$30, and this is what this is.

[coolts]

No problem. I would happily pay £30 for real quality software that will give me months / years of pleasure. A simpler upgrade path to boot.

 

I cant wait!

 

ps. My inner "marketing dept sense" tells me that when a publisher fixes a price they are on the final run to release. [starts flexing credit card in a rolf harris way] :lol:

Yes, we are "close". Mostly just squashing a few more bugs, tuning some radar/missile BVR issues, and testing BS/FC2 MP.

o_O I really though in my insides it was already done and shipping. That sound like a month or more. So naiiiveeeee

 

C'mon throw us a bone! a Glowing Amraam video will do the trick XD

Could of been worse...

 

You could've done what a certain Company done with their game just after 4 months after release...

 

Question.....

 

Is modding this game the same as it was?

 

Have any of you tried it with some mods to see if they still work?

[GGTharos]

There is already a large number of training videos online. It's a pretty big bone IMHO.
