Lock on: modern air combat

Recommended Posts

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.

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% smile_o.gif

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. mad_o.gif

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.

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\

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. sad_o.gif

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.

Please tell me what you think of it? I haven't done a game review in ages... and I'm kind of rusty.

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.

Well its nice to have authentic sounds but I think the sound quality pretty is bad compared to the old ones.

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.

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). Here's the thread on SimHQ. smile_o.gif

The only editor I use is notepad for this stuff.

The file you are editing is \lock on\me\meinit.xml smile_o.gif

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 biggrin_o.gif

Pylon 6 is not working sad_o.gif
