Doc. Zaius 0 Posted January 7, 2004 Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket! The patch is available here at 3dgamers. There appear to be some issues arising from CD detection, and it appears to only work with the US copies of the game, so you may want to hold your horses... Or at least make a back-up.

shadow 6 Posted January 7, 2004 UK Patch is here US Patch does not work on UK-version (Lock On: Air Combat Simulation) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acidcrash 0 Posted January 7, 2004 meh, yep your right its bitching about the CD which is deffinately there *waves CD at the error on screen* back to 1.0 for the time being i think edit: US only? meh again... that will teach me not to get a copy imported before its released in the UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted January 7, 2004 The patch did wonders to my fps. I got a solid 10 frames boost. I'm now on a stable 30 fps and no stutter before large explosions etc. Acidcrash: I posted a url to the UK-patch. It works 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acidcrash 0 Posted January 7, 2004 yeh but i imported a US copy wishing i had waited now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FSPilot 0 Posted January 7, 2004 My ISP has been cutting in and out lately. It makes playing online impossible and you can forget downloading (takes hours longer and when you're done you're lucky if it's not a corrupted download). Don't use roadrunner for your internet connection, you're better off with a 56k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S_Z 0 Posted January 7, 2004 I can’t say I’m all happy with the patch… My biggest problem with it is that the rotary switch on the x45 doesn’t work anymore, it was perfect for zooming. Another thing is that “Betty†sounds like she has been breathing helium…   BTW, Shadow that canopy/scratch bug was not fixed in the patch…o well, not a big issue I can live with that.

shadow 6 Posted January 7, 2004 Another thing is that “Betty†sounds like she has been breathing helium…   Back-up the wav's from a v.1.0 installation and copy them back in after applying the patch. I'll see if I can zip'em up and upload them. edit: The original sounds (the good ones) Just extract and copy them to: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Lock On\sounds\computer\usa\ and Lock On\sounds\englishversion\usa\computer\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted January 7, 2004 the patch seems to work OK with me. i didnt notice any increase in FPS, and i still cant use "effects" without getting a blue screen of death so this patch really has no benefits for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharia 0 Posted January 8, 2004 I prefer the new betty. Also, I feel that the planes feel different. More loose and fun to fly. The SU33 really kicks back with the angle of attack too. This patch makes an already fantastic game... better! Oh, I posted a review. http://otakuhavenanime.net/reviews/games/lockon/index.htm Please tell me what you think of it? I haven't done a game review in ages... and I'm kind of rusty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

da_ofp_man 0 Posted January 8, 2004 hey guys got one question what is the best configuration to play LOMAC and how much RAMs and proc must be to play this game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted January 8, 2004 hey guys got one question what is the best configuration to play LOMAC and how much RAMs and proc must be  to play this game The more the better of everything. I run LO-MAC on P-IV 1.8, 512, GF4Ti4600. Runs smooth with most effects on high and some on medium in 1024x768@32. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S_Z 0 Posted January 8, 2004 I prefer the new betty. Well its nice to have authentic sounds but I think the sound quality pretty is bad compared to the old ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S_Z 0 Posted January 8, 2004 Have you guys seen this LOMAC video: http://www.skiisworld.plus.com/LockOnSTE3.avi Easily the best video I have seen so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted January 8, 2004 I just watched both the STE video and the A-10 one. Even though I'm a hog fan the STE video takes the cake. That's some amazing flying. That guys ego is writing checks his body cant cash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acidcrash 0 Posted January 9, 2004 wow only just watched that, excelent stuff and yeh, the A10 one was good, but some of that flying in the Flanker was spectacular Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted January 9, 2004 Lock on Pylon Editor beta was released a few days ago. It allows you to change what weapons can be used on the aircraft(so for example, I could use a CBU-97 on an A-10).

The file you are editing is \lock on\me\meinit.xml I have'nt looked at the editor, but if it lists all weapons in lo-mac then here are some that don't work: (Probably alot more that don't work. This is what I've found so far) MER*2 MK-82 MER*2 MK83 MER*2 CBU-97 All GBU's Here are the ones I've added to my loadout: 1xMK83 MER*3 CBU-97 MER*2 MK-20 MER*3 AGM-65D (or was it K?, anyway 3 of both) 1xBL-755 And F-15 fuel-tanks to pylon 5 &7 Pylon 6 is not working Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aj_addons 0 Posted January 9, 2004 yep that was one nice bit of flying anyone here managed to fly under a bridge yet also i can also confirm that there is absolutly no collesion detection on those rows of trees (havent tried a forest yet) just get a what ever plane your comfartable with and fly straight through one and youll see what i mean you need to be at about 1 to 45 feet to do this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
