Things To Come

[GhostDog 0]

Now with the patch just around the corner i thought it was time to take a look at what the future might hold for for us LoMac fans.

 

A lot of of modders have patiently waited for 1.02 so they could make certain that their work was fully compatible, so with the patch just around the corner lets take a look at some of the more interesting mods that might be comming our way soon:

 

 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

 

D-Scythes "Crimean Frosty Winter"

 

 

 

 

 

This mod replaces all the wintertextures with what, at least at a glance, looks like the perfect blend. A crispine frosty look without the featureless white-in-white that is both boring and perhaps a bit too challenging in the un-fun way.

 

For a look at the readme file go to the "official feedback thread" here or the "June 9th update" here.. on the UBI boards.

Country and coalition mods By JJ Alpha and T.E.C. Leader.

 

Both of these esteemed gentlemen are working on country and coalition mods. While they wont add new theatres they will give you acces to a whole new bunch of countries complete with pilots, medals, units, skins and even national anthems. Dont expects them to be released the day after the patch is released but when the patch is here they will be able to start testing for real.

Dynamic Campaign by Ross McGregor.

 

Possibly the "mod" that most people are looking forward to.... or would be looking forward to if they knew it was comming. Lost of people where dissapointed that a dynamic camping was dropped by the developers for various reasons but despair not: Ross MacGregor has quetly but steadily been working to rectify this.

Even though the campaign/mission editor for Lomac is very good a dynamic campaing will add a whole new dimension to the game and probably expand the lifetime of this outstanding simulation.

While you shouldn't expect it to be free it you probably won't be able to buy even a budget copy of A10-Cuba for the same mount (well maybe just that one) and many and for many this addition alone will make all the difference.

Last but not least is... the BIG UNKNOWN!!!...:

 

If this upcomming patch is as good as we all hope - where is ED heading next? Will they move on to new projects alltogether or are there still something in store for us LoMac die-hards? Perhaps it isn't decided yet and might depend upon the reception of the much anticipated 1.02.

Lets hope for the best.

 

I didn't really want this to end on a lecturing note but i cant help saying this: If you basically love this sim and would like it to become what feel it could be - then let the people who work on it know! Not only ED but allso all those people who spend their own time and money to create these wonderful skins, missions and other what-not's.

Give them feedback and dont be afraid to show appreciation for their efforts. We are a primitive breed in some respects and theese are the things keeps our engines running.

 

To all work to improve LoMac: YOU ARE THE BEST!
