Lock On:Modern Air Combat

[Milos Sijacki]

I'm a big fan of Crimson Skies, I can't remember how many types of planes I created there. The game ambient is also great.

I own Lock-On myself, i played it like twice; couldn't get into it

It had alot of potential i thought; but the controls were too confusing. It would have been better if they made a control system similar to that in F-22 Lightning.

I'm only posting so I don't have to see the "Spammer" thread at the main page. Jeez, nobody's been in here since September!

I kept noticing it too.

Just a question, since Njaco revived this thread, what campaigns are there in Lock-On? Dynamic campaigns like in IL-2 or Linear campaigns?

with the flaming cliffs 2 there's a very involved mission builder toolkit update, along with new vehicle/helicopter models which look great in close up detail. add in the new aircraft models mods and it's a seriously impressive game-sim.
technical qualities of respective air-air missiles and avionics was painstakingly researched, references discussed at the ED site and is very well done considering inherent program limitations, Eagle Development went the full hog on that version, which is DCS Blackshark compatable in coop.

if you want real flight sim performance in a combat sim though, the DCS series (Blackshark, A-10), are the ones to get. If you want to fly Flankers and Eagles or Fulcrums then Lomac: FC2 is a must have, I can't go back to original Lomac now even though it's got the Crimea detailed with ground objects (FC2 changes it for detailing northern Georgia/South Ossetia). The aircraft/weapon characteristics are just so much better in FC2 and more accurate, especially the Russian radars, original Lomac was missing some data on their display, modes, etc. so it's more accurate in FC2.
Got some new weapons too, a bunch of other refinements, deleted ones that were never in reality equipped to forces, etc.
