S77th-Basscadet Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 S! Sou1ess gunna miss ya bro, not too sure ill miss the ass kicking you give me with that 15 bird of yours :D take a little time out like the boys say, possably with some very nice women an very good refreshments (ie chilled beer is verry good or any cocktail :)) dont be gone too long though bro S! 'Basscadet' "just when you thought they stopped putting monkeys in planes"
Vosxod Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 This is why I also play F4AF and IL2. Just when I get pissed with one of them too much I switch ... I'd say it lasts 2-3 weeks. I play one of them and go like "oh this sim's FM/DM/Graphics/Multiplayer/Campaign is so LAME! It is so much better in that SIM! Let's come back to it!" LOL ;)
tflash Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I don't really understand the complaint about the patch. Waiting for a patch is to me a fundamental ingredient of any flightsim. Do you remember waiting for Lockon 1.02? Or the year-long wait for the second patch of Strike Fighters P1 ? Man, those were the waits! Each evening in the winter, looking if the patch was finally there? If not, a good scotch on the rocks brought consolation. Currently, we're waiting for the next patch on F4:AF, a new patch for SFP1/WOV which will have volumetric clouds!!!!, some fixes for 4.01 in PF, there's still an open issue for Battlefield 2 and ... oh, yes, I almost forgot patch 1.11 should be on its way. Honestly: what would we do without waiting for patches? Running MS autoupdate over and over again or finally getting this @#! update function for Acrobat reader to work? If you look what FC 1.1 has achieved, what 1.3 promises to be, I'd say ED are BIG people in the Flightsim world. I truly love to fly Su-27, Mig-29 and F-15 "unpatched"; and the Su-25T thingy is euhhh.... "nice"! It does fly. You know, take the air & stuff :=) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 @Souless: Im afraid every sophisticated SIM's will always have lots of bugs and delays in patches. Unfortunatly its a sad reality, unless you wanna spend the premium price for professional military SIM's I dont think we will ever get rid of some frustration. The biggest mainstream SIM's out there suffered from loads of BUGs. those that didnt were arcade. SIM developers teams are usualy small and underBudget'ed. We are bound to have long waits for the many bugs. Its not like your ever going to see a microsoft jetfighter sim with slow perfomance and meager graphics (not that this bothers me but the slow perfomace does) They will always go for "your-all-alone-up-there" airliner SIM or the all too popular WW2 counterparts. If your tired of this SIM, take a break and return later. Im doing this right now. If you get hot headed at it your going to miss alot IMHO. Going to miss another ACE flier gone. C U .
Guest Gangrene Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Souless, Really sorry to hear about your decision to leave and while I understand your frustration with the patch situation, I hope you'll decide to just take a break and return after ED release 1.11 (may yet take a year or two). Regardless, was good flying with and against you, <S>.
JonTex Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Hey Souless , just wanted to tell ya I quit to bro and I dont think you have access to the private section of the website anymore much like i dont only about an hour after i posted but its all good. That kinda limits you to your goodbyes when trying to say them to your teammates and all before you go. So Ill post mine here for ya so I know you get it. Been a pleasure flying with you I just didnt have the time to dedicate to the squad and some other personal reasons that i wont go into because overall S77th is the best squad around hands down. Other than that i feel your pain with the issues of lock on bro its frustrating but I aint gonna stop flying just going to take what they give and make the most of it. I wish you the best in your future endeavours and God Bless man. JonTex A.K.A. S77th-TEX [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
NightTrain Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Things take time. LOMAC is a work in progress and I'm glad ED did not abandon it all together. It was bugy when first released plus I did not really have the computer or the graphics card to run it. I can't remeber when it was first released that's when I bought and played it(A-10 kickass) for a month and a half(the mission editor needed a little more work) and it was only last month I purchased LO gold. There was an improvment. I will wait patently for the next releases
Guest Cali Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 man i'd love too se you F15's pilots step down form your big horse when the 1.11 comes out, they you guys actually have to stay and fight ;D ( i hope) S! I don't maddog and I'll still fly the 15 when 1.11 comes out. Even though my fav jet is the 33, I'll kick some serious butt in the 15 with no maddoggies.
Kevlon Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 I don't maddog and I'll still fly the 15 when 1.11 comes out. Even though my fav jet is the 33, I'll kick some serious butt in the 15 with no maddoggies. then you must be one of the very few then.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bungle_uk Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Take a break for a while Souless. Will miss you in HL. I sincerley hope you will re-think your decision when 1.11 arrives (or sooner) <S>
4cExpert Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 g I know several other people who also do not play this game no more because of same reason... In most other games if bug is found its fixed for less than a week! >>>=4c= Serbia<<<
bSr.LCsta Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 In most other games if bug is found its fixed for less than a week! ROFL thats good. is this ok?
Maverick-90 Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 In most other games if bug is found its fixed for less than a week! LMAO!! Show me at least 20 games, which are NOT made by Valve, were it is like this....
Weta43 Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 =4C= I think somewhere you lost track of this thread -we're talking about computer games not board games. Cheers.
Kevlon Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 =4C= I think somewhere you lost track of this thread -we're talking about computer games not board games. Actually i think we all lost track, we're saying goodbye to a friend in this tread. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sumoscouse Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 S77th - SOULESS - Au Revoir There are only 2 statements I would like to make in relation to the remarks made by Souless 1. To be held in high regard by your fellow Clan Mates & other people within the Lock On Community evidently shows that you are a Good Person and an Ace Virtual Pilot. 2. For the Virtual Air Sim Community to lose someone like yourself means that people like me - trainee virtual pilots - will not have people to look up to, to learn from etc ------its a sad loss My only gripe with ED is this - they produce a flight sim with massive future potential and some nice touches with graphics and flight modelling, and yes, there WILL BE A PATCH out soon, blah blah blah HOWEVER IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY COULD UPDATE US ON THIER LOCK ON FC WEBSITE REGARDING THE STATUS OF ANY PATCH - once a fortnight, once a month about what bugs they have dealt with, any new bugs they have discovered, what thier target date is and if they will meet this etc. I JUST WANT TO KNOW - thats all !!!

This simple question has been hashed out in the past and I've learned that all the "exaggerated fans" of the game will jump on you like a free (and new) hooker. my experience... leave it alone. This question will get you nowhere. Thanks, Brett

This question will get you nowhere. Aha the mushroom approach to life. One of the great things about flight sims is that it is a great community for people talking about the game, where its going and what its current issues are. Seems like ED are missing a trick here of keeping their custmers on the hook by feeding them regular updates to digest and keep them interested. I guess from the messages were seeing on the forums now then people are already drifting away.
bflagg Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Hey Chicote... Naw.. I don't have a mushroom approach to life.... just call it experience on this board heck...even your response was also posted near verbatium in the past... Thanks, Brett
Chicote Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Hey Chicote... Naw.. I don't have a mushroom approach to life.... just call it experience on this board heck...even your response was also posted near verbatium in the past... Keep asking for info and occasionally we'll get something, if we don't ask then we'll get nothing. Glad you remembered earlier post....;-)
Cougar Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 HOWEVER IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY COULD UPDATE US ON THIER LOCK ON FC WEBSITE REGARDING THE STATUS OF ANY PATCH - once a fortnight, once a month about what bugs they have dealt with, any new bugs they have discovered, what thier target date is and if they will meet this etc. Search through Wags post and you will find that he gave us some update on whats going on. About time frame, I doubt you will see one as they learned there lesson in the past. I think its been better that way, everybody is wondering when it will but nobody is yapping about deadline not meet ;) Hope it will help you.
Kevlon Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Keep asking for info and occasionally we'll get something, if we don't ask then we'll get nothing. Glad you remembered earlier post....;-) Some of us got a bit " over exided" everytime there was an update info and an expected release date. And when the expected release date was not meet everybody went "loco" .. so they stoped giving us "bones" to chew on.. lol [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ice Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 ya, and you see what happens when they run out of bone. They start chewing off their own legs. My advice to anyone who asks me about patches is to enjoy what you have. Focus on the good things. Otherwise your allways looking for the next patch. That just seems like self torture to me.
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 I'm left still wondering what the specific complaints and bugs were. I didn't see anything specific mentioned in the first post in this thread. Flight simulators will always have bugs, its just the nature of the beast because there are an infinite number of variables. Many bugs are fixed with patches because of specific issues being mentioned in on-line communities. But...if all one says is "It still has bugs, so, I'm taking my football and going home"...well... chances are that the bugs you are talking about might never get addressed. Sometimes, what one guy refers to as a "bug" is actually the way things are IRL, but there is no way to know that without some rational discussion of specific issues.
