I've created this terrain to supplement the terrain that Grandsurf and Rocky put together called LockOn Reloaded. They created the summer terrain, I've "finished" the project (so to speak) and put together autumn, spring and winter terrain. I was given permission to use some of the textures from Reloaded to modify and include in my terrain pack. I hope ya'll enjoy the fruits of my labor, this terrain represents a couple of weeks of hard work and little sleep. Thanks to the beta testers for all their help.
 
You must install this mod with the newest version of ModMan

pappavis@hotmail.com presents: the Su-33 as antiship platform.
 
To use the Kh-41 you need to assign as target waypoint with a ship as target.
When you are within launch paramters the NP cueon the HUD will allow you to launch.

This is an update of the Mig-29S mini campaign I constructed. It has 2 extra missions, more units and a slightly more challenging unit balance. Enjoy!

A 14 mission Su-33 campaign for LOMAC v1.02.

It's a fact that using fog can give huge FPS savings. This is because objects do not need to be rendered nearly as far away.
 
The main purpose of this "mod" is to be able to fly with all buildings and trees, with maximum FPS gain in fog with no pop-ups.
 
This is tested for 1.02 but should work in 1.11
 
I was trying to get my rig to fly in fog without popups a while back. The problem was that trees and powerlines would still popup in the "soup."
Here's a trick I used for my rig. I'm sporting an ATI 9800SE, so your mileage may vary depending on your card. And it's important to note that I have advanced haze ON and VISIB RNG (in options) must be set to high!
 
NOTE: Remember to backup all files before you move them!
 
In the mission you want fog in, set haze distance to max (80 kilometers). This is necessary because popup IS effected by haze distance. Next, set Fog Thickness to 1000m and Density to 1000m. Again, for some reason, the amount of fog effects pop up.
 
OK, for the trees popping up, that's an easy fix. Use LoMan (or equivalent) to change the advanced graphics setting (graphics.cfg file). Set trees density to 10000 and trees clipping to 1500.
 
As for the powerline cables popping up, we remove them entirely. Here's how.
Open LockOn > Bazar > Terrain > Scenes and move the ETL.FSC file to a backup folder.
 
Voila! Lots of fog and no pop ups.
 
As always, remember to "alt-tab" out of lockon after the first mission loads. Otherwise, some objects will continue to pop-up.

This is a quick and relatively unpolished tutorial but, hopefully, some of you will find it helpful.NOTE: pre 1.02 !!

This little campaign is very loosly based on the novel of the same name by Richard Hermann. It is a very difficult campaign. I haveonly passed it once. But if you love a challenge then this will fit your bill. You fly in an F-15 of the 32 FS as Maj Jack Locke. His wingman is Capt "Thunder" Bryant. There are other things going on in the mission as well to add to the immersion factor. Put this file in your LOMAC/Missions/Campaign folder and enjoy.

This is a modifid profile, the origenal is from Precog

v1.01 Su25Ts fly as Russian defenders versus the Allies(USA, Turkey, Georgia). The Russians are driving the Allied Expeditionary Force(AEF) back down the Coast to gain back control of the coast of the Black Sea. The hot aces of Ukraine, the Buba Boys, will defend you in the air.
 
Unzip the Campaign in the \Campaigns folder.
I linked the missions together by creating with a briefing of what happened in the previous mission.
It also clues people into the effects of their mission successes.

this will improve the ver 2.0 pack to real as it gets external fighter soundsenjoy..

I've put together a package of weathered skins for Walmis' F15. Two of them (Israeli and Low Vis) are my art and are included in the package. The rest are the original skins (that came with the model) that I've enhanced. Install using Modman, they install into CDDS files.

So, I'm online at UBI alot. I take a lot of newbies out of the sky. They simply don't understand corner speed.
 
In a WWII fighter, yes, sustained corner speed is close to stall speed. This became known as flying at the edge of the envelope.
 
So what's sustained corner speed? The turning speed which gives you the best turn rate (fastest turn) and best turn radius (tightest turn).
 
In modern fighters (with the exception of the A-10, I haven't flight tested the Su25) your sustained corner speed is nowhere near your stall speed.
 
Practice flying level turns with full afteburner and applying just enough back pressure to keep your speed at corner speed.
 
Corner speeds for Flyables:
For the F-15-- 440 (ind. airspeed) at full fuel; 400 at 1/2 fuel; 350 at 1/4 fuel or less.
You should constantly be hearing Maximum-G warning during the turn.
 
For the Su27/MiG-29/Su-33-- I use 700-715 ind. airspeed
 
For the A-10-- The stall speed for this plane is close to the edge of the envelope (ever notice how this plane resembles more a WWII fighter/bomber than a modern delta wing?). When you start to feel a little "tickle" (vibration on your screen) you're at the edge of the envelope and your best corner speed. Once you start hearing a wavering tone, you've pulled too far back on the stick.
 
Another huge hint:
It may seem boring in a guns only turning fight to keep flying in the same direction (i.e. clockwise), but if you change direction for no reason, you show the enemy your 6, and increase his chances of a kill.
 
Fly your corner speed (9 out of 10 the bad guy will pull too much on the stick and start to slow down). You will then gain on him, until you are behind him. At this point you are free to pull as hard on the stick as you want to get the shot. I hope this helps.
 
This trk. shows an actual online combat. These are not AI enemies.

made for Lock On FC 1.1xx but should work OK with Lock On 1.02

This is a complete stand-alone soundpack and a comprehensive sound modification which provides sound within all DCS World modules - including DCS FC3. (187mb)
 
It installs via the ModMan v7.3 utility, as modified for use within DCS World by Tom Weiss, which is available from LockOnFiles (links are below).
 
 
DESCRIPTION:
 
In short; if you have seen videos of jets flying through Mach Loop in the UK, that is basically what this high sonic realism sound modification sounds like.
 
There are few areas that were not reviewed and altered within this new version. I've changed or improved many sounds within this new version and greatly developed the sound imaging quality. These have collectively enabled a more compelling sound environment to be constructed. Areas previously not worked on much have been within v2.0. All helicopters have been bought up to the standards of the jets, with more realistic approaches, flybys and loitering. Armour and vehicle sounds have all been replaced, and re-configured. All weapons, explosions and damage sounds have likewise been reviewed, with numerous improvements, resulting in a much improved and extended ground-battle environment. Given this sim will increasingly become fastjet dominated the cockpits have all been reviewed for both A-10C and FC3 fast jets plus associated external mechanical control sounds reset accordingly for optimising to various flight modes.
 
What I'm doing within this sound mod has never been achieved prior. It's the first example of where it's possible to comprehensively depict a real exterior jet sound with 100% pitch accuracy within samples, plus realistic audio fidelity with distance and aspect changes. The result is a very realistic and compelling modification that is no gimmick. What you hear in this mod is the real thing--real jet sound--in playback. I developed the means for a sound engine like DCS World to portray real jet sound with almost complete accuracy, in most situations. This has not been heard by anyone from a combat jet flight sim prior to this sound modification doing it.
 
I developed the theory and base equations behind how this approach could be made to work during 2000 and 2001. But DCS World was the first sim sound-engine where I suspected it might contain the necessary acoustic model accuracy and modding accessibility needed to finally try to make this work accurately. After some testing it became clear the technique would indeed work in DCS World and would accurately correct for vector changes to Doppler shift, which normally distorts real jet sounds. In this sound pack for the first time they're not being distorted in pitch at all. They utilise the pitch within the real sound files exactly and accurately.
 
The practical result for the sound that the jets make within the sim is that it creates unprecedented and outstanding sound depictions that are almost too good to be true. So the tedious work of enabling and developing the approach and establishing that it does work has been done. The result is a dramatically improved audio simulation, that now has unlimited and unprecedented realism potential from here.
 
It's been my long-term goal to eventually get to this level of jet-fighter audio simulated realism, so it's gratifying to have finally gotten there.
 
A thankyou to Keshman for donation of sounds I've integrated to greatly improve this version's ground-battle detail and especially battle ambience effects.
