Thanks Bones. I have to reinstall this, I'll get it done this weekend. Thanks for the post bro!

I just got this and though Im not convinced that its the next falcon or anything it is pretty fun to light up ground targets with an A-10. So far thats the only aircraft ive dared to try mostly because im familiar with it. Next will probably be the f-15 or the su-25t. Could be fun to have some online training or maybe even a simple mission or two sometime.
Question about the mod though i noticed in the readme some things about hires... Will this have any effect on framerates at all because im already pushing it with my current hardware?

[Bones]

Very true Robocop. While although Lock-On:FC2 is not as "deep" a flight sim as Falcon, its "bigger" brother DCS:A-10C is!

As for the hi-res mods question, the answer is no. None of them will effect your frame rates. They are just re-textures that look substantially better then the stock ones.

Another busy week so I won't be able to hook up online til the end of the week. I flew alot of Black Shark when it was released. I'll have to re-install and hop online with the FC2/BS patch.

Looking forward to A-10C.

I bought DCS:Black Shark and lock on: fc2 last week and both are awesome

The graphics in fc2 are amazing but the weapon system with all the key-combinations are hard to learn.
For me right now, the game is at it's best when I enable full realism settings with unlimited fuel and fly through the valleys at tree top level.

DCS Black Shark is much more difficult. I know how to ramp start and fly a ka-50 and how to land on a carrier but I have no idea how to use any weapons.

Thx for the files, looking forward to fly with you guys when know how to use the weapons

[Bones]

Hey Iffn,

I would be more than happy to host some "Training Mission" to help guys get familiarized with the various systems in FC2. If you can fly Falcon then you can certainly fly FC2.

I fly most nights around 9pm EST.

Bones, I'm anxious to get back into FC2 / DCS. Lately, real life is getting in the way of play time. Perhaps by this thurs or friday I'll finally have free time.

[Bones]

OK, I'm gonna put together some training missions in the editor, I just need to know what you guys need help on. I know Iffn want to learn more about the weapon systems, any other requests?

[Iffn]

question: is it possible to get new planes into fc2? like the french mirage or the eurofighter typhoon?

[Robocop]

it is possible to have other flyable planes but like in falcon it only changes the FM and the type of plane while the avionics and cockpit will still be the original. So far ive tried the VNOA mod for the f-14 and f/a-18F flyables. I think there is a few other flyable mods out there but i havent tried them. This game really frustrates me and im not flying it much now.

[Iffn]

no new cockpits?

but this is what i found on youtube


just found the download link http://www.veao.eu/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=156

[Bones]

As Iffn has stated, you can fly other airframes but no "authentic" cockpits for them.

Robocop do mind elaborating? I fly FC2 (F15, Mig29, and the SU-27) quite a bit and maybe I can help you out with whatever it is that you are having trouble with.

My problems are mostly with situational awareness. Its very hard for me to find threats or targets until im already being shot at ... then its usually too late because i can never evade any missile thats fired at me. I dont usually have this problem in falcon where ive evaded up to 4-5 missiles fired at me before because I can actually see them coming in and act appropriately. Its just damn near impossible for me to see incoming missiles in fc2. I know the reason why is because my pc isnt really up to the best specs for running the sim so all my settings are on low.

Black shark on the other hand im doing quite well in.. mainly because i can hover for a bit and scope out an area to find threats then attack. And having an "ABRIS" helps out alot.
