609_Recon

Ever since I installed Lomac my CD RW drive isn't able to burn cd's. How do I fix this?

To add - I appreciate those like GGTharos who offer explanations and logical thinking.

Thanks Carl. Does anyone know if this 1.1 is like the Naturalpoint Starforce? - or will the buyer have to do it online? All this doesn't bother me too much - whichever is easiest to get my friends started in on Lomac is important to me, the easier to get started - the better for Lomac IMO

Can you ask them to include the previous fixes in this patch? (ie. LOD) Thanks for update

Since he got a code - does that mean he doesn't need the cd to run the game vs. the cd from naturalpoint?

Well, not good news if it's illegal thing here - I took assumption that all companies involved know what is going on. Hopefully that is true. And I saw mention now of this starforce - bummer.

This is great news if so - it will make getting new pilots easier - it was a major hassle having our new guys buy both versions just to fly. Does it need Starforce then? Removing this Starforce would really help sales I think - people don't want Starforce installed on their machines - there is a 10 page thread on this in the IL2 forums. Customers are not happy with it - I haven't had these issues, but still...it's obviously getting bad press :(

I've been playing it alot this summer, just not on HL -doing mostly direct IP or some offline quick missions. I bought the FC1.1 and enjoy flying it with squadmates -- nothing better than watching the enemy take a hit with the fantastic lomac explosions! I would like to have the F15 capable of some ground attack capability - that would top it off for me :)

"They say its the 50% setting although IMHO they failed to make it work as they first intended. its being adressed in the patch." Not to open a can of worms, already been there, done that. But, I think they ought to apply in this patch what they think is right, and leave out the slider. I think it's silly having a 'missile effectiveness slider' anyway. Could you imagine IL2 having a 'bullet effectiveness slider' - lol WTF!

Maybe I am missing something - are we looking at a non-jet flight sim addon then? I guess when I think Lomac I think jets, I was baffled because I didn't realize there was much demand for a non-jet in the jet sim community. Just strikes me as odd I guess, or maybe I'm the odd one - lol - I just picture the time invested in Ka50 could have been a new flyable jet instead :) edit: "Don't worry, alot of us all thought the same thing with the 25T but it was well worth it." Well, maybe, but the 25T is a great addition as a ground pounder :)

yeah, welcome -it's very very fun and a good challenge

I think I worded it wrong too - I was going beam vs. f-pole when I lost him. But what you said still applies I see :)

ok thanks again. I will try this out - I'm picking up from you that I am too close at 7km to worry about BVR and should be using the AACQ mode. Again, thanks!

thanks for quick reply: with labels off (which I prefer) - I'd really not know his position, all I would know is that I just f-pole - now turning back, I have lost radar and not sure exactly where he is? Should I just go WVR and fire a slammer without worry of a lock?

Hi - question: I'm in a F15 vs a Su27 I get a lock, he is jamming. I place him off to my right side in the VSD screen on the left. I get within range and fire, but realize he has fired. I turn further to my left, basically in f-pole position. This manuever saves me from his first shot - he is now avoiding my first shot. I turn back toward him - let's say approximately 7km. Couple of things occur: 1. after the F-pole - he is not on the bottom warning screen 2. I am unable to find him on radar. As for #2, I turn on labels - he's definitely 7km away and right in front of me - long senario - but why doesn't he show up on my warning or my radar at this point? Had I not turned on labels I would fly right by him?

so, the next addon is a Ka50? I am baffled.

well, with threads like this : http://www.simhq.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=127;t=003809 This is a serious problem for FC if people are afraid to buy it because of Starforce - I imagine it's hard enough to get enough consumers, let alone have people talk about it like they do in that thread. Although, the money lost on people stealing games is attrocious.

"Stick with them, I like the F15, but its not what the game is about" I wouldn't have bought this game had it not had the F15 -- I love this aircraft :)

I'd rather see updates, like a dynamic campaign, build on the current engine. Constant rewriting of engines seems to take way too long. They build this Lomac engine, has a great sense of flight, etc.... we have several flyable aircraft, etc.... I know a F16 sounds great, and I welcome it - but I also think new aircraft is only a part. An immersive single/multiplayer campaign system would really raise the stakes for Lomac. I haven't flown F4, but the part that appeals to me is when people talk about the dynamic campaign system. The rest of it to me sounds like overkill (to me). Not to cast a shadow, but honestly, I'm surprised when I heard the developers were adding a flyable helicopter to this sim - it really isn't what I think of when I think of Lomac - a jet study sim. Seems better effort could be placed elsewhere.

1.2 addon. Can we just get a repackaged game - it's quite a pain getting new people into a game when they need to buy 3 (after 1.2) boxes to play one game. So, dev's, please package into one for addon, telling someone "to play 1.2 you must first find Lomac in the bin for $15, then goto a Russian site and pay $29, then order 1.2 from Naturalpoint for $29 (or whatever wherever for whatever much) ".... :)

Question - I am from Il2 community. In IL2 there are two modes, dogfight and coop. People are running coops missions 24/7 vs just hoping in a dogfight and hitting refly, etc... I don't really see this sort of 'coop' play in Lockon where you fly a set mission with others online in HL. We do this offline with our squadron - someone will make a mission and we fly it. I'd like to see some of this occur in HL opposed to just DF servers - where you have a mission objective and then return to base. But, I have also noticed aroud 20ish people flying in HL since I bought FC and hope for more - but it is summertime - maybe a patch will bring some attention :)

What range do dots become visible in this game?

"The patch is being worked on, and ED decided to address a few more things than they anticipated originally " Well, that is good news. I actually don't mind things taking longer if it means it's better. So, take your time and kick some butt :)

"The 120D is a real missile which has not entered operational status yet. As such it won't be getting added to LOMAC." __________________ lets test it out for the us af then in lomac ;)

"Thats why the AIM-120D is in development with 50% more range than the current C model." really? cool! - is this a patch or addon implementation?
