The start of a revolution for LOMAC??

Will this enable us to add new weapons and aircraft, or would we need to do more programing?

Only new shapes. Frankly I think this is very good, but I also dread the appearance of a swathe of F22's and S-37's ;)

Could be a good thing to add the SU-30MK :)

Or re-make models that people have been crying out for.

And we would need FM for each model. How can that be donne?

I have truespace 6 only. I used to make models for space SIM's.

You make mods for Orbiter, Pilotasso?

Can you make F-22 model so I can keep pwning it everyday ;)

no, I made for Freepace 2 Wing commander MOD. they were all boxy models though. :D

But seriosly now. What does it give us except possibility to save .lom files.

Can we alone swap old .cmd files with .lom files? What about animation and such... Can mod makers actually independently from ED replace f.e. Su-27 and F-15 models, make them work correctly, with animations, LODs, visible damage?

Seems we can olny replace old models I think.

If onlynwe could make pits and atribute intruments to them and add custumized HUD's.

If only LockOn architecture would be addon friendly with easy config files etc., so we actually can add things... but it's a mess, really.

With addons in mind this sim would just blew peoples minds, by this time since 1.0 release there would be countless cool smaller and bigger addons to play around.

I play around with Orbiter Space Simulator, it's mod/addon community is the most creative folks I've ever encountered in my sim career :D really! Even if it is smaller community then from MSFS, I find it more cooler.

I'll just be the first one to send some subliminal message such as *new flanker and eagle model* and ask is ED would please clerify the use of these tools.

So does this mean the community can start adding some of their own models into Lock On? If so, GREAT :thumbup:

But its sad to say I only have 3d Max 8.0 not 7.0, is there a way to get the 8.0 plugins?

We could already do new models - we just had to have them approved and converted by Eagle before they released the tools :)

whoa when did this happen?! and does this mean that they are changing engines after black shark???

I Also have 8:cry: And have a Mig 21-93 model...real basic but nicer then the standard AI models:megalol:

3ds max 7.0 came on my Max Payne cd. I shee-itt you not either.

Dear god!

For the first time we now have the oppotunity to make our own 3D models for Lock-on and use them without having to go through a long acceptance process with ED - yet people are complaining that they still don't have access to program new FMs and radar functionality .......as if this was something the "average Joe" could do anyway.

:doh:.

I don't know about you guys, but I have half a dozen mod projects that suddenly seem about a 1000 times more interesting to pursue!

Anyway, I now just have to figure out who I will have to kill to get my hands on 3DS Max 7.0 :D .

I think it's good that they're not allowing full additions ... just think about all the people who'd be flying UFO's. :P

Now someone can add Learjets for HAVECAP escorts, flying trains and sharks and turtles (like someone did in SFP1)...now all the sudden I feel kinda...weird. Remember when someone from the other forum posted that godzilla attack??? NOW IT CAN HAPPEN!!!!

What is "Max Payne"? :)

:huh:

Its only one of the best 3rd person shooter games out there. It was the game that invented bullet time.

Yea that's what i meant, so can we now see some modman release of adding new models? Chizh did't explain that portion in his post. Usually people make new models and wait forever for a response by ED and we won't be able to see it in the game unless ED releases a patch or an addon. If this is really true, and if we have some of those MS2004 modders down here, it would be awesome. I would like to see...for example a 747 in the game dressed up as airforce one, and we try to protect it....or....shoot it down. :smilewink:

Don't you mean GMax, the "game enthusiast" version of 3DSMax, which is free?

Nope. It says there in the installer 3dsMax 7.0. I never installed it though because I havent the sightest clue on how to build models.

Lol yeap. Im hard like that in many ways, y0. m3 n my 1337 sk1llz.

Very good idea, this could speed up the process of getting some of the older models (F-14, MiG-31) updated and new ones (F-15E!) added. Especially since this may mean that existing models can be adapted for use in LOMAC. This might get some modellers interested.

Makes me wonder now if ED is going to reintroduce the 2 seater back into BS. This would be a very nice addition.
