Helocopters can now operate from carriers, they couldn't before.

http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php I just noticed here that they say SpeedTree was implemented as well as an extended region of Georgia for Black Shark. Has anyone else heard any news on this, it would be great if it was happening, and would really update the forests from the simple "3D" trees LOMAC uses now.:D

Cool, thanks guys, I got it to work.;)

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to add a photo that you can use as your picture in the log book? I thought this was discussed recently, but I can't ever get the search to work right, so I'm just asking. Thanks.:)

Go to options --> input --> device --> choose your joystick --> under the input/audio/diff/... dial, choose "test" instead of "responses" --> in the bottom right corner, above the "cancel" button is a bar where you can set the "smooth" setting. ;) EDIT: This is all in LOMAC, not the Cougar Control Panel

50 is the default. I would watch the stick react in the cockpit and I would throw it to the side, then center it again, and watch how the stick reacted compared to how I moved it, and it seemed to move with the less lag when I had smoothing set to 0. I assume this is because when you do fast, erratic movements (similar to those during combat) the more smooth you have set, the more it tries to smooth your movements out into one motion instead of a bunch of little quick movements. I don't know though, just a personal preference thing I guess.;)

I don't know if anyone has discussed this yet, but I have been having trouble with gun-fighting ever since I re-installed LOMAC after reformatting a couple of months ago. I was having some trouble with my Saitek X-52 (or so I thought) and I wasn't able to get a good shot on anybody in a gun-fight. I would do the F-15C quick-start mission just to practice against the Su-17s and I would shoot one down with a missile, then use the other one for gun practice, and I would sometimes waste my entire load of gun rounds trying unsuccessfully to shoot him down, but I never could, I would usually damage him a bit, but never enough. I would continuously over-roll and pull or push too much and I could never figure out why. I tried everything I could think of, I even bought a new joystick (a Cougar, but I was planning on that sooner or later anyway, just gave me another reason to :D) until just tonight I realized I had never tried to turn the axis smoothing down (which I had set to 100 :mad:), so I turned it down to 50 and tried the mission again and I did 10 times better, but something still didn't seem right, so I set smoothing to 0 and linearized (almost) the roll and pitch curves, and now it is 1,000 times better. I tried the mission again and this time, I shot down the Su-17 in less than 30s of getting close enough to him with quick snapshots and very few wasted rounds. Prior to this I had done everything I could think of, including turning off temporal anti-aliasing because I had heard it could cause joysticks to be laggy, but nothing had cured what I thought was a laggy joystick. So just a tip, if you feel like your joystick is laggy, or it feels slow, turn smoothing down, I learned the hard way, so I figured I would let you guys know to save anyone with similar problems time. ;)

I think it's a great looking, next-gen fighter.:D

I usually get a shoot indication at 15-20 nm, but if you wait to 10-15 nm to fire, then initiate a dive and turn away a bit while keeping lock, you can often evade enemy missiles, while yours has a good chance of getting a kill. That's the tactic I would say I use the most, and it works best for me. I used it last night on a formation of 3 Su-27s on excellent AI and I scored kills on all of them without getting into a dogfight. It usually works as long as you and the enemy are coming head-on. There is a training mission for this tactic in the "Top Gun" training missions, I can't remember which one it is, but it is the only one that works with 1.11. Good luck. ;)

Look, I landed with no wings.... ...at least I ended up with no wings. Sorry.:icon_frow ;) Nice landing, I've been trying to land the 25T like that, but it hasn't been going too well. I want to see someone recreate the IAF F-15C's one winged landing in LOMAC, that would be tough.

I thought it was an F-16D on a training type flight.:( :mad: :)

Agreed.;)

Of course I can, just give me a second....:icon_jook I was saying capability-wise it had a similar role. The carrier version of the F-35 could take the place of the F/A-18, but I doubt it since the F/A-18E/F's are still very new and very capable.;)

Like you said, it's the F/A-22, meaning it has ground attack capabilities. It can carry varius smart munitions and even if it carried only 4-bombs, that would be just as many if not more than some other strike aircraft, but with more capabilities. The F/A-22 can take the place of the F-15C, F-15E, F-16, F/A-18, and other aircraft, so really, imagine the cost of the aircraft it takes the place of added together and it really isn't that un-economical (not saying that it doesn't cost a helluva lot of money ;)).

It was the MiG-29 quick start mission and I followed the 23 or what ever else there was around for a while trying to get really close, then I shot him down and started looking for the MiG-31 and I found him at 65,000 feet, other than that, I don't really know how it happened.;)

...for me at least. This is the highest A2A kill I have ever scored, I was in the 29 and I shot down a MiG-31 when he was around 65,000 feet.:D

When I lauch Lock-On. It works just fine whenever I start Lock-On, I only get the error when I launch from HL.

I just reformatted and reisntalled everything up to 1.11 and now when I try to join a game in Hyperlobby, it says it cannot find "lua5.dll" and that I should reinstall the program, which I really don't want to do. If anyone could help without making me reinstall everything all over again, I would really appreciate it. Thanks all....

I'm pretty sure Global Hawk has a pre-programmed mission that and it takes off, flies the mission and returns on it's own, but with the Predator, there is someone sitting in a trailer with a stick and throttle and they fly with an on-board camera (but I'm sure it can fly to different waypoints on its own, like autopilot though). I think the Global Hawk is more of a reconnaisance aircraft, while the Predator is a battlefield-observation aircraft, so it would be important that someone is able to fly the Predator and chose where it goes depending on the changes in the battle on the ground, along with the buddy-lasing thing that they can do also. Again, I'm not completely sure, just pretty sure.:D Too tired now, bedtime....:icon_eek:

I think the Predator is the only UAV to use the Maverick as the Global Hawk is a much larger, faster (jet as opposed to prop), and flies higher than the Predator.;) EDIT: I think it's also autonomous, but I'm too tired to look it up, so anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm quite sure, whereas there is actually someone sitting in a trailer flying the predator. Still not to the point where completely autonomous aircraft are making kills on a battlefield.

Hey, I was wondering, with the Introduction of the Predator in 1.2, is there a possibility that buddy-lasing will be introduced also, given the Predator can designate a target and an A-10 can drop an LGB? http://usnewsdev.summerproductions.com/issue/030519/usnews/19air.htm First paragraph...

I love AC4, one of my favorite games for PS2, it's where I got my nick (Mobius 1). Anyone know if this is coming out in the US, and when? Thanks...:D

Also, doubt this is the case, but make sure you don't have auto-altitude hold on. I've forgotten I've had this on after a long cruise, and I try to nose down or something, then after a second the airplane violently noses back up to level. But I agree with everyone above, sounds more like a trim issue.

Like the one in my sig that's already in LOMAC?

Oh boy do I hope so, but I don't know.
