First thing, get the patch 1.00 to 1.02 (you can get it a www.lo-mac.com or here) Download LOMAN 2.1 so that you can tweak the game, add missions and skins. http://www.biohazcentral.com/dl_engine/red...bb461c8c192336e Download ZZZSPACE soundpack 6.2 (a complete sound replacement pack) http://www.checksix-fr.com/bibliotheque/in...hp?Fichier=2093 There are many great missions, skins and campaigns here at Biohaz - and I am sure you will find many that you will like.

joejoe 0 Posted October 19, 2004 what kind of system you got, scott? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomasDWeiss 0 Posted October 19, 2004 (edited) It was kind of fun to see Lock On evolve from 1.00 to 1.02 - he will miss the 'pleasure' of firing AMRAAM after AMRAAM at a target and see them all miss ... Edited October 19, 2004 by ThomasDWeiss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlickWili 0 Posted October 19, 2004 Welcome to BioHaz! It's a steep learning curve, but the game is absolutely beautiful presuming your hardware and tweaks support it. Have a look at the "sticky" posts at the top of this LOMAC section to get the readme, optimization hints, and so on. That will help when the time comes. Don't hesitate to post any questions, queries or comments you may have once you get your hands on the game. We've got a great community here. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
000scott000 0 Posted October 19, 2004 o ye, i frgot to ask. can you download new planes for it? becasue i saw some blue angels f-18's on screenshoots page and are they easy to install? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuff 0 Posted October 19, 2004 Those F18s you saw are just skins, they are using the F15 that looks like a Hornet. Just about every download you get for Lomac will be loman compatable, so the install is a breeze. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

000scott000 0 Posted October 20, 2004 i just watched the doberman video and the graphics luk amazing! the game is brill! to sum it up in one word... AMAZING Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
169th_Cobra 0 Posted October 21, 2004 i was reading the russian forums through a translator and i have a feeling there is some miss understanding re the Ka-50 addon. my understanding is it will be a completely different game to lock-on and not an add-on as we are all hoping for. (obviously it will be using the lomac engine) lets hope im wrong and it will come out as a downloadable add-on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomasDWeiss 0 Posted October 21, 2004 From what I understand - It will be made available for download. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
000scott000 0 Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) do you get to taxi onto the runway from hangars and is there alot of addons? and is it an expansion pack becasue it seems to be very cheap for such a good game. Edited October 21, 2004 by 000scott000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
169th_Cobra 0 Posted October 21, 2004 u taxi to the runway from the apron (not a hanger unfortunately) they are just about to release the first official add-on very soon (we are hoping in the next month or so ..no release date mentioned) apart from that you can grab a few thrid party add-ons that generally change minor things like an aircraft model (ie fly the f15 but it looks like an f18) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zzzspace 2 Posted October 22, 2004 do you get to taxi onto the runway from hangars and is there alot of addons? and is it an expansion pack becasue it seems to be very cheap for such a good game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi 000scott000, man I feel for your having to wait until Christmas for Lock On, what a drag huh? Be aware though mate, your new computer should have at least 512 meg of RAM and a fast video system (ATi9700 performance is about the minimum I would be aiming for) and a fast CPU (2.8 Gig or better is good). It'll work ok with lower specs than this but the better the PC you use, the faster and smoother it plays (and the better it looks). Lock On is a year old, and the 1.02 patch optimised it quite a bit, but it still hammers my PC harder than any other sim/game on the market today. Good luck!

169th_Cobra 0 Posted October 25, 2004 unfortunately thats not really a rig built with gaming in mind. you really need to have a seperate Graphics card (integrated graphics cards are not designed with gaming in mind!) and you will need at least 512Mb ram as zzzspace said.

000scott000 0 Posted October 25, 2004 (edited) i dont think thats the one im getting. its another one i think. i still might be able to get it! ill tell you the specs when i find it. http://www.lo-mac.com/screens.php?id=4772 that looks like an f-18 to me.

(1VB)Seabee 0 Posted October 28, 2004 It is an F-18, but it will only LOOK like an F-18 in the game. It will fly like and using the F-15 model. 'Skins' only make the planes LOOK different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
