Lock on preview

[Longinius 1]

Hey guys

I am going to look at a Lock On preview version today. I know there are some Lock On fans here, so, what do you want me to check out specifically?

I am not a die hard flightsim fan myself, so, its all pretty much the same for me. But I can keep an eye out if you tell me what to look for.

Very long topic about Lock on ;)

It would be best if would post your info there

Could you take a good look at the Su25 and take some pics? I want to compare it to the OFP one

I cant take screenshots, thats a no-no. But I will look at the SU-25 for you.

Hey, I realize you might not be able to check out everything, but if you get a chance:

- Has the internal Jammer been removed from the MiG-29A? (Shouldn't have it, but it's there in Ian Boys War Story)

- Does the German MiG-29A have shorter radar range than the Russian MiG-29A? (It should, as it was an export version)

- Has the gun capacity of the MiG-29A been fixed (150 rounds as opposed to 100 rounds like with the later version)

- Is there the ability to calibrate the gun sight in flight based on the target's wingspan?

- Just how complicated is the "cold engine" ramp start?

*edit* came up with some more (hope you see any of this before you play the thing - I'm probably late anyway)

- Does the A-10's gun affect flight speed when flying?

- What sort of guided weaponry is modeled for the Su-25? (From what I can tell it's an early version, so I assume lazer guidance if anything)

- Does the F-15 have the ability to engage multiple airborne targets?

- Do you personally think it's close to being a finished product? (no real hurry here, I need to pick up a better machine anyway in order to play this beast ...looking at a 2.5Ghz mobo and CPU with 512 DDR Ram for $549 CDN )

Tell us how the TV-guided Mavericks work on the A-10m and is the MFD really as versatile as it looks in the pictures?

How deadly are the Russian SAM systems? I'm especially interested in the SA-12 Gladiator/Giant.

How effect is the R77 in off-bore targeting situations? (those little buggers make me nervous)

Those things were my recurring nightmare in Flanker 1.5. Some times one was launched at me from way out in front and I would lock on this new contact....and wonder for a second or so WTF this thing was that was incoming so damn fast...then I'd loose contact with it and a few seconds later there were little pieces of me all over the sky

You're thinking of the R-73....

The R-77 should still scare you, but mostly in BVR situations

yeah, sorry about that, R73. See, this is another reason I need Lomac right away, as my knowledge of Russian kit is remedial at best

Speaking about being frightened of missiles, how effective is the Home On Jam mode for the F-15 with AMRAAM?

Listen to Fw200, he be wise
