"My" Lock On Moment

Graphically that looks fantastic. How much did you pay for it? Wish I could enjoy IL2 still, but my new computer graphics card doesn’t seem to like it.

What processor do you run it on?

Well i have a AMD 2800 XP, 1 gig DDR (dual channel), and the Ait 9800 pro (128 mb).

and Viper i did learn a lot from falcon 4.0 indeed, there are several good patches to upgrade the graphics realism even further. here you can find those updates (for people who dont know) http://f4ut.frugalsworld.com/

Play anyone F4 with the mods? Can you realy fly a Eurofighter?

btw: @ashad: It is a Mig-23

Anyone else have problems locking on to more than about three different targets?
I have the latest patch installed,which gives a new,very useful rear view but if I hit ‘tab’ more than three times,the game refuses to lock-on to any more targets! 😡
Any ideas?

Arshad, that´s an Su-33, not an Su-30. Nice shots, by the way.

I acquired Lock On about three weeks ago. I think it´s a good game but I can´t say I´m very impressed. The graphics are excellent (smoke effects and fireballs on aircraft could have been made better, though), the physics and the flight models are also quite satisfying, but it stops there. The realism level could have been better when compared to Falcon 4.0 and JF/A-18, especially when it comes to weapons employment, radio comms and carrier ops. The AGM-65 is too damn easy to operate, the radio comms are somewhat simple and have quite limited options and carrier ops are simplified. And is that A-10A really that manouvreable?

I´d like to discuss these topics when I´ve got more time.

Yeah, damn, sorry my mistake (typo) 😉

About it being to easy compared to falcon you are right. nothing beats the realism in Falcon 4.0. Its a very hard simulation to learn. But you cant also expect one game (lock on) to simulate accurately all those different airplanes which are in it, in Falcon emphasiz is only laid on one plane, that has since then also been further optimized by Falcon “groupies” with their patches etc. The problem with Falcon is sometimes its to realistic, its hard to learn, if you stop practising you start forgetting things etc. Lock On cant replace Falcon 4.0, its not in the same catogory of realism but its just an crossing between arcade and a real simulation. Its not that difficult but you have to spend some times learning all those things.

About the Maverick being to easy you are right, its my favorite weapon in Lock On, Easy leathel when used proparly. You should play with those nametags off.

nice shots and a nice su-33 skin

i think i should play lomac again..

Mig-27 i shot down
