...and that would be what in GMT? 02:00?

You have all read the good news on out frontpage of course. Patch 1.02 for Lo:Mac is here! This is the place to discuss it. If you for some reason havent downloaded it yet you can get it here Direct link to 1.00 > 1.02 here - 38 MB (recommended) Direct link to 1.01>1.02 here - 34 MB Mirror on 3D Gamers here I recommend uninstalling the game and do fresh install - then patch from 1.0 to 1.02 Did your pet problem go away? Any nice surprises?... Let us know what you think.

only problem i have found so far is that the selectable resolutions for one monitor are very limited when i run my dual monitor setup in "horizontal spread" mode (which i prefer) - when in "dual view" all is good i just cant change my desktop all the time. Plenty of dual/triple monitor resolutions selectable though... i just cant play with a the edges of the screens right down the center of the HUD. I tried editing the config file without luck Other than that all looks superb

1) The news IS on the frontpage of Biohaz 2) There is probably a lot of people downloading at the same time 3) 3D Gamers was listed as a mirror on the official Lo:Mac page - you're right: its not there - at leat not yet. 4) I'm not not sure how your last question is meant

you have my sympathies... but you should really teach your goalie not to go out feet first... he has done it before with about the same degree of succes ;)

I'm looking very much forwards to seeing the Netherlands playing. When they are good they play play some of the best soccer in the world. I'm ofcourse hoping Denmark makes it to the next round but we have a long way to go: We got 0-0 against the italians yesterday and even though everyone would have sold it for that before the game it smacked of defeat because we played better than them. In the same group our neighbors Sweeden beat Bulgaria 5-0 !!! They are scary this year

i havent tried it myself - i havent played BF in quite a while but it looks cool and allmost makes me want to try it - the only thing holding me back is LoMac

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. If you want to check out the progress of this project then visit Ross's website here * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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!

Keep it up and you will be fluent in not time.

The words we have been waiting for... some of them anyway :)

Lexicon. I get the distinct feeling that youre trolling for a fight. I advise against that.

You would have to allign the clickable overlay with the view. And the view tends to be a bit more shaky trackIr. You could ofcourse hit "centre" and then disable the trackIr but i'm just trying to picture myself doing that just to press a button with my mouse - i dont think so. Maybe some would. I'm not saggin the idea at all. I think it sounds very good for those who really like clickable pits. But i think that it would be more usefull to people who uses a joystick hat to look around.

interesting.. but it doesnt sound like it would be much good with trackIr

:D ... if they did however contemplate any additions to the cockpit i would wish that all functions you could use would give you some visual feedback in the pit - at least when you can see the switches right in fromt of you i think its too bad that they dont move. The landing-lights is good example. I can see that little thing starring right back at me and saying "i move for no one!". Allso things like altitude hold would be nice to have and RWR modes would be nice to have indicators for. If you loose HUD then alt hold can really give you a headache.

Thats what i thought... not that it matters to me anyways. I dont plan on taking my hands off my HOTAS

btw.. they just updated their website

As i understand it you can choose to install individual soundfiles etc, instead of the whole thing, with LoMan 2.1. You might be able to use that as a work-around untill the soundpack and other stuff gets updated to 1.02 compatability. Its going to be interesting to see how much needs to get updated.

ViperVJG73 and Vincend Vega have created a nice little skin here Available for DL here on Biohaz - 1.1 MB Loman zip enjoy

... then again - maybe not I'm just sticking to my partydress after all

PT-Boats - knights of the sea is an interesting title by Akella scheduled for a 05 Q1 release. this is from their website. Features: Lots of screenshots and a video trailer on the site as well

hey i'mpressive Dutchy! If you want to make it perfect you have to find the "æ" in "være"

Welcome back... Nice to see a fellow dane on Biohaz. Vi er for få! ;)

OK its up... Get it here. .. i'll will just move this topic to the right forum btw.

so far its only an ugly rumor. This has not been been confirmed in any way. I find it very unlikely. It has never AFAIK been the ambition of ED to implement clickable pit. If it was something they had tried to implement but had to drop because ofdeadlines etc.. i might believe it as a part of a possible addon. That isn't the case ASFAIK. That should of course in no way stop us from having a friendly discussion about the virtues of clickable pits... if there is any

consider it done B).. keep it comming Zzz
