More teasers !!

[hitman]

Olgerd, are you working on a campaign engine of any sort? Lock On sorely needs it. Thanks so much for the feedback.

Yes we are.

 

 

I assumed this was for 1.2...I dont really keep up with these threads...

[britgliderpilot]

Really? Where di dyou read about the Dynamic Campaign, 'cause the place I read it at (some thread around here) clearly stated that it won't be for 1.2.

 

Pages 2 and 3 of this thread - they are working on a campaign engine, but not until after v1.2.

[VMFA-Blaze]

OH and BTW I am one of FEW FEW FEW 1.02 players left...Thats why I stay put on the other board and dont post here so often.

 

Well I guess you might as well skip F/C and wait a little longer for B/S........

 

 

I recon that F/C is included in the Black Shark addon .......

 

PS...

 

I haven't been at the UBI site in quite a while and don't really miss it.......

Olgerd, Will ground units in 1.2 have the ability to use smoke grenades for cover?

Thanks in advance. :p

[Witchking]

just a small pics of how we hope lomac will become::

 

better smoke effects like these::

 

 

better lighting like this. also better water...tat does not toll much on the gfx card or cpu.

 

 

[Merlin]

Thanks for all the info ED!

 

 

Cant wait for Black Shark and then the F-16

[JEFX]

Olgerd, can we have a printable flight plan?

 

Firstly, Olgerd (and all the team) thank you very much for all your support, communications and relations with us, it is amazing. (not to forget the incredible software that is our favorite subject of concern, awe, play and creativity!).

 

I read all the suggestions and I believe that one (simple) thing that is dearly missing in this simulator, is the ability to print a detailed flight plan with steerpoint info, etc.

 

Of course, I do write them down myself, and I consider it is a lot of work and especially a lot of time not flying.

 

I button that pops a window with a flight plan that includes your loadout, the weather and wind info, the precise steerpoint info (and maybe a sreenshot of the objective, no , I am asking too much).

 

Do you think it is possible to implement that feature for 1.2?

 

thanks for your answer

Definitely not in 1.2. I am sorry. We are trying do not delay the release of BS too much.

[airea]

How long is it delayed by now?

The eMagin Z800 Head Mounted Display is not supported by Lock On natively, that is, using the coding from the SDK off eMagin's website. It is currently just through mouse emulation. Both eMagin and ED advertised the support for the Z800 in Lock On to be something special when in fact it's no better than Gunship! or World War II Fighters. Right now mouse emulation is not that great, with significant drift that requires frequent recentering...after all it is just emulating the mouse movements. Lock On's FOV cockpit limits actually makes this worse than in WWII Fighters, since head movements no longer have an effect after a certain amount of rotation. So, my questions still remain: Will Blackshark have native SDK-derived support (both motion and orientational data used) for the Z800 HMD, and will Lock On Flaming Cliffs have a future patch to add this capability?

 

P.S. 800x600 looks fine on the eMagin, especially with anti aliasing turned up.

 

According to this...if I understood you question....yes.

Once you have tried it let us know your thoughts,please.

 

Edit. Now that I have read further I see what you meant by native support as opposed to mouse emulation similar to the early days of TrackIR. Once this is implemented I would be interested in this. If you run it is the 800x600 res noticable (ie blocky or chunky)or would it be better when it gets higher?

Download a copy of 'GUI Configurator' Reticuli. That should take care of the FOV problem. I'll edit this post when I find the link.

[Kusch]

AIM-9P ! Great!!!

[zaelu]

What is the last one supose to mean???? :confused:

 

new model of F15? :P

[Trident]

Nope, it means rear-aspect engagement is mandatory for the new AIM-9P (atleast I hope so) :) Good work MBot!

 

EDIT: Do I see the new AH-1W model that someone on the Russian forum was developing in the background on the first screen? Awesome! We absolutely need to find somebody to finish Joao's Apache *now*!

[Chizh]

Yes. We implemented new class rear-asperct IR missile for it. :)

[MBot]

Woohoo, the AIM-9P :D Thank you so much for introducing that model ED !

[Kroll]

Olgerd/ Chizh,

 

Can you guys tell us whats after BS. Is it a A-10, Su-25T, and two choppers game or will it be the F-16?

 

Are you guys currently working on more titles than BS? (the f-16 one)

 

 

Thx

 

Kroll

[Reticuli]

That allows you to pan as much as you want inside the cockpit? Still, that's only a half measure and won't fix the drift issue. You need Lock On to be able to use the orientation/compass-North data from the headset to work the way it was intended. Why couldn't ED put native support for the eMagin in 1.12? The SDK has been out since December and is suppose to be easier to use than TrackIR's.

[Prophet_169th]

Awsome TOW!!!

[Reticuli]

Are there developers on here who can answer the eMagin question?

[Yellonet]

Any new (or rereleased) aircraft will be implemented in the way we are doing Ka-50 now (AFM, clickable, with true INS/RLG/EGI, startup procedures, and tons of other stuff).

Sweeeeeeeet! :D

 

Anyway.. is Black Shark still on for a march release?

[192nd_Erdem]

Olgerd or Chizh,

 

Since this the only topic I can contact you, what's the latest news on availability of CD BS version with the release of the game? Will we have to wait three more months for CD version?I made a topic about this too but it was unanswered.

 

Thanks for the answers.

[Olgerd]

Sweeeeeeeet! :D

Will see...
