New Lock-On:Black Shark Video

[Rak]

This is gonna be awesome. Check out this great but "not all serious" video, I can't wait for the Ka-50! The details are just awesome.

Yup, bought Lock On for that.

*sigh* but I doubt that we gonna see a release anytime soon...

 

[Rak]

Yeah, they keep pushing the release date farther. But it better be late than buggy, or incomplete

Oh my god that was supremely awesome. The bridge attack scene rocked my face.

 

[nodachi]

I'm so getting this. I have LOMAC gold already, just for this...

There is some instructional video somewhere, showing the proper way to prepare for takeoff, on full-real settings.
The cockpit is clickable, btw...

If you want to play it this way, then your 30mins into the mission, before even getting to start the engines.

*edit: one of the video's overhere (ABRIS&WCS):

Yeah, the startup videos are crazy. However, I've read on the forums that at the time it was filmed, the engine startup sequence was not finished so both engines turned on at the same time. Expect it to take one and a half times as long in the final version!

p.s I love your sig, nodachi.

 

[Rak]

Yeah those training videos are pretty old, I think they made them in 2005 with an early Alpha

I am the biggest simulator/realism fan out there but when I tried LOMAC I was just left with my jaw on the floor at the level of complexity in the game.

Just couldn't get into it. The radars alone drove me insane, and I play IL-2, SHIII etc at highest realism . I tried damn hard. It's such a shame, really wanted to play it.

The part I like about Lock-On is, that it has excellent tutorials Just go through them and you're set. If you don't like stock training tracks, head over to www.flankertraining.com

God, radar.... I eventually learned by trail and error, along with heavy amounts of profanity, how to set up the radar on the F15C or whatever it was, to bad my LOMAC disk is broken

I loved the A-10 though, setting the RPM to 900 isntead of, what was it 1300?? then tearing apart tanks, heli's, ships. If i didn't set the RPM lower i would always run out of ammo before i was done. The gun on the thing was like a fricken lazer beam! The TV missles were great to.

I assume you tried the A-10? I load it up with unguided rockets and bombs- no muss, no fuss, no dicking with electronics.

That's EXACTLY why I prefer Su-25 over A-10 any day.

Two new uber awesome videos are now avaible: Rotor Physics and External ballistics. Well actually, the videos only show bullet dispersion on a VADS, firing from 1.5km away from a target, and rotor blades on the ka-50 moving in strong wind. Have a look anyway:

That "Ballistics" video was awesome.

 

[Pycckuu]

I return with a bump and a new video. This time its ricoches.

Awesome, I think ED devs heard my wishes about vehicle damage modelling

I'm returning to Lock-On after a break by the way, now gotta memorise those endless X-52 macros . . .
