The_Slink Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I suppose IL-2 spoiled me but that's why I haven't got LOMAC yet. Apart from the sheer complexity, there aren't enough flyable planes for my liking. More than in the past though. But I mean three versions of the MiG 29? Isn't that over the top?

EricJ Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 True, they should have made maybe the MIG-29S and the German version, and slipped in a different model (maybe another US flyable), but that's their decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo_Viper Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 (edited) I'll go with EricJ on that one, Mig29S and Mi29A are different birds, but two Mig-29A's with few differences, besides lettering in the cockpit, de-rated engines etc is a bit weird. Something Multi-role would have been nice, but again there's no A/G radar- yet. Down the track, looks like F/A-18 will be included. To those that want more flyables, it's a question of detail- each bird included flyable and non-flyable is modelled on real data, the F-15 cockpit is a real cockpit- granted it's mish mash from pre and post MSIP I and II etc. This sim is no Janes ATF or Janes USAF Yeah I enjoyed that sim, but it wasn't realistic- fun but not realistic). If you've ever wondered what it's like to fly and fight in a modern top of the range fighter jet in air combat this sim is for you and if your an F-15 fan like me.....well......... Well onto to some more goodies from Sim HQ First article deals with how to use the CCIP bombing mode in the Warthog and how to precisely place those CBU's and MK82's onto a T-72 etc. A-10 CCIP Bombing This is a mission report- basically a story based on an actual Lo_mac Mission with Screenies:- Mission There are a few more mission reports for those wanting a sneek peak of what to expect.

Alfa FSB Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I made a Su-33 campaign my first attempts at the mission editor. Here search for Droopy`s Su-33 campaign. I`m working on a Flashpoint 1985 campaign with the F-15C and A-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAM helps a lot on this game, had 256 RAM, LO-mac could play, but would freeze up with detail, got another 512MB RAM and now she pures along, no problems or slow up in Frame Rate. I'm runnig a Ge Force 2 and it handles it fine. Cheers Gordo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SI-Prozac Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 lomac has bugs its definitly not my system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo_Viper Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 lomac has bugs its definitly not my system Have you got the patch yet? And yes the original has it's got bugs in it, hopefully as time goes by the performance will be better as pacthes are released, shame it wasn't perfect on release, but look at Falcon 4 when it came out as well, high end simulations will always be buggy on release.

EricJ Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Okay, here's a training track on how to refuel with the F-15C: http://562.50megs.com/LOMAC/Tracks/AirRefuelF-15C.zip Note, you will need TrackPacker to view this. Though it is advised to go here: http://www.btinternet.com/~hasfjord/TrackPacker This will help in configuring TrackPacker for LOMAC (least until Attilla gets it working better).

Dick Splash Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Interesting article in PC Gamer (US) Nov '04 that arrived today. Shortly after the release of patch 1.01 two months after the game's release, a producer and a former producer convined a skeptical Ubi to fund a second patch to fix bugs and glitches. Five months of hard work later, Eagle Dynamics released a second and much welcomed 1.02 patch. By all accounts, the same team have hinted at a third patch to fix the few remaining glitches. This time though, it will be unfunded Well done ED, such dedication. DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Yep, I hope they do realease it, kinda looking forward to the Su-25T, but then again, once you've flown the Su-33 (for me anyways), there's really no turning back. Though I've never had much use for AIM-120s... but they're great for downing helos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Splash Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Thought I'd mention this for the fans that haven't heard. PC gamer (US) April 2005 has an article featuring Lock On: Flaming Cliffs. Since Eagle Dynamics patched the most annoying problems for 'Lock On', with a pair of upgrades, they've been been busy at it. The Russion developers have launched a sequel called 'Flaming Cliffs'. Not only does it quash LO's most serious bugs, it also adds some impressive new radar and avionics enhancments. Three aircraft specific campaigns consisting of seventy five missions, new terrain textures and improved flight and damage modeling make up this new title. The amazing Su-25T features 52,000 polygons, optically guided anti-armoUr missiles and laser guided bombs. Continuing on from the established 'Flanker' series, LO and now 'Flaming Cliffs', this is looking to be Eagle Dynamics best. Unfortunately boys and girls, as Ubi dropped the title, it's only available as an import from Moscow based 1C Games, or as a direct download from www.lockon.ru.
