undertaker Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Hello, I just bought Lock On FC2 and flying with the F-15C but there are few questions I want to ask here. It would be very nice if you could help me. 1. There is a "Salvo Mode" command in the keycommands file of the F15C which can be activated via Ctrl-V. However this command doesn ґt take effect. I think this should change the fire ratio of the gun like in the demo but it doesnґt work. 2. Is it possible to adjust or "docking" the external view/outside camera under the wing so that I see the top of the aircraft nose and missiles? 3. I flew some dog fights against mig29, su27 with highest strength but there is no problem for me to shoot them, although the migs are more maneuverable. Is that a game limitation? 4. When flying with overcast weather I have extreme fps drop from approx. 25fps down to 6fps. Are there tweaks to avoid that or is it normal with my System? My System: AMD Phenom X2 550 @ 3,7ghz 4GB RAM Radeon HD 5770 Thank you and best regards :) undertaker
Panzertard Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) 1. I can't answer this one, I'm a rotorhead. 2. F4 and Lctrl+F4 can be used. 3. Depending on the initial setup, distance, advantage, AI skill level, and your Game-settings (Game Mode or Real Mode) - yes, sometimes it can be easy to shoot them down. Try from a disadvantage situation using "Real Mode", and it may be more difficult. 4. Most often used 'trick' for FPS, is to tune down the Water settings: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=928235&postcount=9 Tune down other settings as well while you're at it. Shadows off or Planar. EDIT: o7 and Welcome to the community :) Edited October 22, 2010 by Panzertard The mind is like a parachute.

GGTharos Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 No, there is not. F-15's do not salvo missiles in that mannr (that I know of).

Frostie Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 1. Yes, Salvo is avaliable in FC2 for the F-15, but there is no indication that it is on. It lets you ripple fire missiles if you keep the trigger held. 3. Unfortunately the AI seems to be really poor at dogfighting in FC2 compared to 1.12. "[51☭] FROSTIE" #55 'Red 5'.

undertaker Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 Thank you for your response 1. Yes, Salvo is avaliable in FC2 for the F-15, but there is no indication that it is on. It lets you ripple fire missiles if you keep the trigger held.Tried it and works with missiles, but have no effect for the gun right? 2. F4 and Lctrl+F4 can be used.Yes, when using F4 Iґm on the top of the aircraft and can change view but not the position of the camera (vert./horiz). Can you give me the key commands for that? Ctrl+F4 is blocking further zoom in at a particular point.
Frostie Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Tried it and works with missiles, but have no effect for the gun right? Yes, no effect on the gun. Its a new feature for FC2 which I believe is designed for the Russian birds but has also carried over to the F-15. Interesting, never tried that :D Awww, why couldn't you make me laugh and say something like 'You're right Frostie, I didn't know that' ? :D Edited October 22, 2010 by Frostie 1 "[51☭] FROSTIE" #55 'Red 5'.

undertaker Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 Tried the salvo mode in DACT against a mig29 with heaters and noticed that i carried AIM-9Pґs which can be no fired till you look in the afterburner of the mig. On the other side I can fire the AIM-9M from any position. Thought the AIM-9P is an advancement of the AIM-9M.
GGTharos Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 That would make sense if they followed alphabetical order but that WOULD just make too much sense (interesting, aside from the P, the others do).

104th_Crunch Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Hello, 3. I flew some dog fights against mig29, su27 with highest strength but there is no problem for me to shoot them, although the migs are more maneuverable. Is that a game limitation? The hardest AI to fight with the best turning is the Mirage 2000. Even better play online.
undertaker Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) The Tool LOCFG could help me to modify the F4 view: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=16466 Unfortunately it doesnt work with FC2. Have to edit some files by hand Edited October 22, 2010 by undertaker
RIPTIDE Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Interesting, never tried that :D You should try the F-15C sometime. It can be rewarding at times. :thumbup::lol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 OK! I'll try it, but I'm not very good in it since I haven't used it a lot :D [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

vanir Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 The AIM-9P uses an optical seeker in the later "smokeless" versions doesn't it? I used to see F-16s sporting both AIM-9L and AIM-9P and used to wonder about it, till I read about the seekers.
GGTharos Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Nope, it's a heat seeker, but rear aspect only until the P-3 version of after. It has to do with the part of the IR spectrum the sensor is sensitive to.
