meangreen Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 It has been some time since I last read anything about the F16 addition to Lock On. There has been some articles about the upcoming Black Shark extension but nothing about the F16. I have been getting back into F4 with "Allied Force" and a flyable F16 would make Lock On hard to pass. Anyone have anything to post? Thanks.

SwingKid Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 There was a recent interview where ED was talking about this, yes the F16 is still in the works but it's about three projects away (the Ka-50 in v1.2 being the first project). -SK

JonTex Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 F16? Never been able to fly those in a sim before cant wait to try it out. I wonder if they will model its M61A1 20 mm multibarrel cannon that thing rocks on dude.:icon_roll [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 It's already modelled on the F-15 ... unless you mean, you'd like to see a cutscene of the thing spinning up and firing just before you hit your opponent! ;) [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
JonTex Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 heck yea that would be cool. Dont forget the tinted canopy we wouldnt want the first flight sim to feature the F16 as a flyable to miss some minor detail like that:D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Mobius1 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Like the one in my sig that's already in LOMAC? Stupid thermals...
SwingKid Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Ok! It seems like you just might know, so what is the second project ?? Funnily enough, that one's the most mysterious... From vague hints being dropped in the Russian forums, I think it will probably involve adding AFM and clickable cockpit to an existing SFM aircraft, rather than adding an all-new one. -SK

If they do this than this will be the most all important thing they did from day 1. Go ED go!!!
MBot Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Olgerd hinted that the project after 1.2 'might' be a high-def A-10. Would correspond well with the "Tank Killers" idea that was talked about in a interview some months ago. According to the plans back then ( wich have most likely changed by now ) Tank Killers would include a AFM A-10, AH-64 and extremly high detail envoirment with moving grass and choppable trees. It seems chances for the A-10 are indeed good, but last time I heard they were still searching for more references on the AH-64.
airea Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Longbow II was a great game of its time, thy may find som references in that...

355th_Paulie Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 "Moving grass".................:icon_weed as long as they not running too fast.... :D
VMFA-Blaze Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I do remember a post from several months back refering to a change in the way trees would be modeled....... Cutting trees down while fireing at moveing targets would add a lot more realisim to this sim..... And I really don't remember this ever being done before in any sim.....

355th_Paulie Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 So, that would make JF18 bad sim? No, ED will not make a 2 seater sim, for the time being, and as stated before, manymanymanymany times, the F18, along with a DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN will not see daylight in Lock-on. :D
SUBS17 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 So where did you get this idea from about the 2 seaters? I guess you've overlooked the AH64 for Tank Killers:D (what about the 2 seater mod in 1.02) From what I've read so far: v1.2 Black Shark Ka50(end of lockon) Tank Killers(A-10, Su25/T, Ka50, AH64){its likely the Ka50 would probably get ported straight into TK since it would likely be the same level of detail. Destroyer (F-16, Mig29SMT, F/A-18[possibly]) Whole world modelling also. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
SUBS17 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 So, that would make JF18 bad sim? No, JF/A-18 is a good sim, its actually still being improved by TSH but at the time of development Janes would have used what information was available to them. Janes hold the most information on military hardware. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
