DZ9 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Just 'bought' LOMAC, 95% downloaded thought i might give it a try with the old x52, any of you guys play it? how does it compare with sturmo? (apart from the obvious, ie. jets and such) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I bought it when it first came out and flew it with some of the other Danger Dogz, Bun-Bun, duffbear and gurypuddle. It was fun at first ; particularly the A10 Warthog but I started to get very bored. Launching missiles at targets far away didn't involve close in dogfighting. A very complicated game and takes a while to get a handle on everything. Stuff like air-to-air refuelling. Takes a lot more resources to run than iL2 and you will likely have to run your settings minimized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenal Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Like BG, I'm not a big fan of shooting stuff from 20 miles away, and where evading a threat is as complicated as how quickly I can hit the flare button. I do agree that it looks awesome though. I guess I'm more of the "start engine, firewall throttle, pull trigger" kind of flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I never got my TR1 unit working And there are about 1000 different commands to assign. Tried the A-10, pulled the trigger... nothing; you have to go into the weapons assignments, define A/G weapons, define Gun, define type of round firing selection, define WTF to a key. Made me want to shout "Are we there yet?!" OTOH, it's beautiful- best scenery I've seen in a sim, and very detailed models weapons, radar etc... I just don't have the patience for it :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenPark Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 can we sticky this thread? If for nothing else than to preserve evidence that Cold Gobler actually exists! Fricken' Elvis is seen more often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hey my Korean buddy! I've been around for short bouts the last couple of Thursdays. I've also been on the Winds of War server a couple of times in the last week... playing with Elvis and Jimmy Hoffa in my basement. I'll be gone for a while after mid-May as I'll be in France and then we'll be moving. Then we have to get all the electrical and some of the telephone wiring re-done at the house we're moving to... so it may be a while- on the other hand; at the end of all that, I should have a dedicated computer room.

JensenPark Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 let me get this straight... We are soon going to be seeing even less of you? Oh well...dedicated computer rooms sounds ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZ9 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks all my first impression match what everyones saying. I couldnt even get the plane to fly in a straight line is there a trim command? besides that im finding the buttons a total pain in the arse to setup i mean sometimes it doesnt even do what the hell you ask it to. extremely user-unfriendly. then again it does look class so maybe il stick with it. i really want this for it though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Apologies for digging up an old thread, but I just got the LOCK ON: GOLD version of this and did a search to see who else flies it. I agree with BG that all that Beyond Visual Range lock on and fire and forget crap bores me rigid too, but I love flying the A-10. I'm currently enjoying the 1st campaign for the A-10. If anyone else still flies it, would you fancy trying a co-op in it? Or even a guns only dogfight with the MIG-29 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Okie, Bun-Bun, Duffbear and I used to fly Lomac for a while. They got quite good at it with air to air refuelling etc but I always sucked. I still have the game but haven't got it installed or patched up. There must be a few patches since it first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 v1.2a is the latest I found, if you've got the Flaming Cliffs add-on I think. https://lockon.co.uk/index.php?end_pos= ... page=8#531 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have it and really enjoy playing it....I do come from the Falcon community though, so that may explain that. I like the ground pounders..........A10 and the SU-25 especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
