Hi to all pilots!

 

Are there any addon flyable aircrafts like F18 that are available for Lockon modern air combat.

 

No. Lockon is not very Mod friendly, so you can not add in extra aircraft.

 

What can be done with the basic Lockon v1.02?

 

Some people have made Mods that will sort of replace one aircraft with another. But you cannot make new flight models and you cannot make new cockpits. So for example if you made a Mod to replace the MiG-29 with a Mirage, then it would look like a Mirage on the outside but would fly like a MiG-29 and the cockpit would be still the MiG-29 cockpit.

 

 

What about Lockon Flaming Cliffs?

 

If you have bought the addon Flaming Cliffs, then you get one extra aircraft the Su-25T.

 

Also with Flaming Cliffs it is possible to make all the non-flyable AI aircraft to be sort of flyable. You edit the MEInit.xml file and change Humancockpit=No to =Yes for the planes you want.

 

BUT and it is a big BUT, you need to understand why the Developers added the code to make this Mod possible. It was in response to movie makers who wanted more control over what the non-flyable planes did. This Mod always gives you the basic SU-27 cockpit, you cannot change that. The flight model will be a mish-mash of the Su-27 and the AI plane you want to control, you cannot change that. So for big planes like the B-52 it will fly like a brick and probably won't even get off the runway, you would need to start in the air. For small jets like the F-5 it will go like a rocket sled.

It is just for a bit of fun as it was designed so movie makers could make the AI do what they wanted to get the perfect camera angle or the perfect screenshot.

 

This Mod does not work with the basic Lockon, the planes will be uncontrollable and crash.

 

Warning.

 

If you are going to mess with the MEInint.xml, always make a backup copy first. One small mistake in the MEInint.xml and Lockon will not work at all.
