The F-15 isnt a death trap, and if you think that then your sounding like a unskilled bad loser.

hey Wolf ,read the post more carefully, you misunderstood, souless said that in lockon's beginning , the F-15 was a death trap.

 

souless has left the building and chose to leave ED by expressing only his negative experience about this sim ...he must have loved it some cause he flew it from the start and with great regularity.

 

Wolf , you saying that souless sounds like an unskilled bad loser is uncalled for and proves that you didn't know him at all , souless was a member of the S77th and served with honor and pride, his mastery of the planes in lomac and his achievments in combat are well proven . you can see his awards here

Speak to the 44th about the Eagle they seem to have edjucated themselves and over come these bugs and show it by regularly kicking ass in theirs !! .

I'm sure if souless haven't left the building he would thank you for your suggestion but he has and all I can say is that I hold the 44th and their knowledge of the sim in high regards and I'm sure they would say the same about the S77th having flown in the same skies on many occasions. I think both our squads have proven that they are proficient in any plane in lomac.

 

Sorry you think ED is a bad customer supporter sorry you have "given up" and i will put money on seeing you here when 1.11 is out :) :icon_jook

VVS504 MrWolf - Frogfoot Training Officer

 

I can see that some people are shocked by the way souless chose to leave this sim. Even though I too am a little pissed off at bugs sometimes, at having to reconnect to a server cause the debriefing pages are slowing me down to a crawl or pissed at being kicked out to debriefing , at sounds bugs or what not ... I still love this sim and fly it every day .

 

souless has chosen to leave by speaking his mind and as a paying customer I think that is his right to do so .

 

It is our right to disagree with him as well .

Is this thread still open ?

 

 

My thoughts exactly :confused:

Yeah, the F-15 had issues from the start - radar issues, the 120 was hard to use (although if you knew the secret to its guidance in 1.00, you could eaily make it deadlier than it is right now - that's all I'll say)

Souless could kick butt with the best of the best, hands down. He was definitely an F-15C expert in LOMAC, there's no disputing that.

[504MrWolf]

Yeah Ryke i dont know him thats why i said hes sounding like a un-skilled bad loser not he is one, which i know not to be true as the S77th are close with the 504th.

 

I just think its silly to give up about some of the intermitent bugs and yes ive suffered from all the ones you mentioned, but i keep plugging at Lockon and waiting.

 

This "1.11 Wonder Patch" probally wont fix half the bugs he hates, its just a game.........play something else and come back in a while. This is the best flight sim we have so take it or leave it.

 

For me Lockon is a Frogfoot simulator the Simple Flight Model planes dont belong in it anymore, they should make two games "Lockon SFM" and "FrogFoot AFM" the AFM planes are IMO far more real to fly and the SFM are arcadish to me, thats how i feel about them. If i over G my frog it will flip over on its roof and do silly things in the F-15 all you have is black out :confused:

 

Then when 1.2 comes out you will have a clickable pit helo !? I think Lockon is just a testing ground for ED's future titles.

I agree. I just hope he comes back as your losing a good pilot.

thanks for understanding Wolf :)

 

yeah , I am disapointed too that souless chose to leave , it came as a surprise here , he must have his reasons and I respect his decision, even though i don't agree with it.

 

but hey , we are still flying and that's what counts :)

 

if he ever chooses to come back you can be sure we will be the first to rub his nose in it , he's going to be stuck washing planes for a long long time .

[S77th-RYKE]

Thanks Maulkin

lol yeah I know buddy :) but who needed 120s when we had R27-EAs ;)

I still visit the grave sometimes

[Slammin]

Sheeze.

 

If I say I'm gonna leave, I want at least 9 pages of SPAM too!

 

If you guys can guarantee that, I will go!

Evil.. I just saw your sig.. your AMD 4400....

How does it play with lockon? FPS, Smoothness......etc..

I'm considering a very similar setup.......

[tflash]

Sheeze.

I guess the guy just wanted to take a break and then this happens! :=)

Yeah gotta admit, I used to play on your server a lot and souless was a great guy. Talked to him on TS a few times, flew some missions with him a few times when you guys did co-op. I have a pretty nice work schedule and used to play a lot online and I would almost always see souless online. I used to wonder man how does this guy get to play so much cause he was almost always online??? I guess he has his reasons. I go through phases too where I get sick of a certain game. He'll be missed online though. You guys have a nice squad, a really good bunch of guys in S77th. Needless to say you guys provide a great contribution to this community with your hyperlobby server. cheers and thanks

[S77th-GOYA]

Thanks firesoldier. We appreciate it.

 

Souless was my wingman. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure he means what he wrote. Back in the Spring, he decided to give ED through September to fix the rogue ARH missle problem and other bugs or he would give up on them. He meant it. He did it. He is missed.

[firesoldier845]

Hey Goya, your one heck of a virtual pilot in that F-15. I've tangled with you a few times and sure hate it. I don't think of ever managed to ever get you without getting whacked myself. I got you a few times but you always got me too. You still flying the F-15 mostly? Lately, I've got into ground pounding with the regular SU-25 and love it. Now that I got my LOCK-ON config tweaked to perfection I'm having a blast with the ground pounding in SU-25. I remember one time I flew a co-op with you guys in S77th flying the SU-25 and it was the hands down best time ever I had playing LOCK-ON. I haven't been on hyperlobby that much since 1.1, the whole ECM thing just really changed the game for me. I used to play every single night for hours but since 1.1 I just haven't been playing that much last 6 months or so. Maybe after the patch I'll get back to AA to combat. I'm getting back into it, been trying some ground pounding on VVS 504 server and having a total blast. You guys ever run ground attack missions on S77th at all? nice to hear from you - you guys in S77th are really a good bunch.

 

cheers

Bingo! Give that man a prize.

[SwingKid]

I would have liked to help him out with F-15 issues, but I cringe at some of the things he was asking for.

 

ARH missiles don't rely on the launching fighter's lock for terminal homing and they don't carry IFF equipment of their own. For this reason the "rogue ARH" problem is very real. The defecting MiG-29 pilot Alex Zuyev related an example of this in his book. During testing, a launched R-77 ignored the helicopter drone target that the pilot had locked up, and flew instead into a nearby airliner, killing all aboard.

 

The request to increase burn-through range up to the more "realistic" value of 25 nm was also not based on reality, but rather on the previous version of Lock On, which was wrong. Realistic burn-through range is less than 1 nm.

[Guest IguanaKing]

Whoa..."rogue ARH missiles"? I missed this before, apparently, but, what do some people expect?...a robot that has better judgment than the human who set it in motion in the first place? There is a reason it is called Mad Dog in a visual launch, or a Pitbull when it goes active from command inertial...don't get in front of it...it'll bite you. Is this the "bug" that someone is leaving for? Just for those who don't know, its not a bug, an active ARH missile doesn't care much about who you are...so "rogue" behavior is fairly realistic.

[Stormin]

Too much drama here. Time to move on, methinks.
