LockOn: Flaming Cliffs Patch

 

Patch version 1.12

 

This is the cumulative patch and can be installed over Lock On 1.1 or Lock On 1.11.

 

Version 1.12 is not compatible with any previous versions of Lock On in multiplayer. All players must use version 1.12.

 

Track files recorded in previous versions might not be played back correctly in this version.

This patch has rollback option, in order to play back old track files.

 

You may experience some difficulties with older missions and campaigns due to new capability of some SAM sites to intercept anti-radiation missiles. You may edit missions manually to make mission accomplishment easier. You may increase the quantity of aircrafts in SEAD packages or decrease the number of SAM sites.

 

In case of problems with TrackIR device please exit LockOn, delete \Input\TrackIR.ini file and start the game again.

* Lock ranges when in Close Air Combat (CAC) modes have been decreased to 10 nm.

* If an aircraft is using active Electronic Counter Measures (ECM), it is no longer possible to detect the emitter through terrain.

* Level of Detail (LoD) models have been added to ground vehicles. This has increased frame rate when vehicles are viewed at a distance.

We returned the old 800x600 graphics resolution to support 3D goggles. However, this resolution may cause some anomalies with the user interface; therefore we don?t advice to use this resolution for normal game play.
