i keep seeing "FNEB" can anybody come up with a satisfactory explanation of that one??

The reason the thread was started was that Wags wanted to make sure that UBI didn't insult the ones with the German and French version if they released the English patch when it was ready. I am think most people agree that it helps noone to make the english version users wait untill all versions are done. But be prepared: There will definatly be more than one patch. The first patch will focus on bugs only - and only on the most important ones at that. It might even create problems for some that had none before. That is not untypical when released to the userbase which has a much bigger variety of system configurations than any test team will ever be able to take into account. I am happy and reassured to see that both Wags from Ubi and the dev-team are so present on the official boards. To me it signals a strong wish to make this sim a game that will sit on our harddrives for years to come. PS: I'm not a spokesman for Ubi or Eagle Dynamics ;)

Shepsky has been busy: http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=...606&m=150106601 He has , after consulting with Diceman, made a mod that will allow the A-10, SU-33 and Mig-29A/C to carry the weapons they can in RL. I will try to have it mirrored here as soon as i figure out how to work the site software

Yesterday evening, January 5th, Wags aka Matt Wagner, the producer of Lockon, posted the his last update on the patch on the official Ubi boards, in which he wrote the following: Here just 12 hours later the thread is allready 14 pages long (!) and you would be hard pressed to find any who disagree: Allmost everyone, regardless of where they are from, posted in support of release of the English patch as soon as possible. And obviously Wags didn't just ask to keep us busy... here is his latest post: Looks like the wait will soon be over for some of us while those with German or French versions will have to wait a week longer

Take a look here: http://oldsite.simhq.com/cgi-bin/ultimateb...t=003649#000008 With all the skins, utility progs and other stuff it looks like Lomac is gathering the supportive community needed to keep it strong for years :D

I know its not that bad there all the time but it I still have a hard time keeping my blood pressure down when i see such behaviour. But most guys are trying to be helpfull and there is still much good info to be found there

looks like a very nice job

you can hardly call it rushing;) ... but i hope they take the time they need as well. But we will still need a second patch anyway... we know that and they know that

RTFM to myself ctrl z or x does the trick. note to self: Dig hole. Bring manual. Jump in. Place rock on top.

I would have thought that left/right trim should trim the rudders but it seems like its trimming the ailerons which controls the banking. Its of no great importance but when i lost one engine over primary in the A10 and had a long way home i could have used a rudder trim instead of an aileron trim. I don't see many reasons for trimming the banking of the plane except if i had a very unbalanced loadout but a trim for the rudders could come in handy at times. Comments or thoughts? ... thanks in advance GhostDog (also posted at the Ubi boards)

i tried and only got a small increase if any but thats just my luck. ALl otheres that i have talked to gets very nice increases

latest update from Wags: postet within the last hour or so

I just quoted the suggested solution for you. No need to read the entire thread unless you guys want one of the saddest examples of what life on the UBI boards is like at times... btw the offending part has been banned

I don't think that Ubi being closed will influence the release date of the patch. It was Wags himself that said in his last update on the 23 that he hoped the patch would be out before new years and he must have know that HQ was closed. In this matter i think he is all the ubi you need to release the patch. If he wants to work work between xmas and new years let him ;)

many has reported that the high-end SB cards are heavy on the cpu. I have 2 cards. One onboard on my Asus p4p800 deluxe mobo which i use for games and an Audiophile M-Audio multichannel card for soundrecording.

I had wished for a model of an A10 so my girlfriend went to the hobby store and asked for an F/A 18 and came home with an F15 2 seater :D

I might sneak a quick view at one of the first missions tomorrow then. Its good to know that you and others are busy making work for us hog fans. :D

I look forward to playing it but i'm still working my way through USAFMTL's campaign and that might take me a couple of more days

After hearing about people talk about improved framrates after turning hardware acceleration off i gave it a go. The biggest difference i noticed was reduced quality so i turned it back on. (Since i'm not a programmer it still puzzles me why turning something called "acceleration" off would improve performance but i know it isn't allways logical) There has been some a lot has been a lot of talk about how much playing back several soundfiles at the same time affected FPS in lomac and some people took it very seriously and did all sorts of tests on it. Apparently the devs noticed and the following quote is from wags latest patch pre-release notes: ... he only talks about efficiency so its hard to say wether it will sort out the distortion you guys are talking about.

So far they will not be able to see the custom skins unless thay have your skins dl'ed and installed. There has been some speculation of wether it was possible to also use this as a cheat in MP. You could paint all the enemy skins pink or even use the skin of a carrier for the enemy plane. I don't think there is any file chekking done atm when you hook up to a MP session but it could probably be done. I guess it all comes down to: Play with people you trust.

They know that we will continue to follow orders no matter what. We will continue to follow the directions of the tower until we run out of fuel and fall out of the sky from precisely 8000 ft.....oh what a devious scheme

I have read most, if not all, of Carl/Stormins posts on boards since release and if i read him correctly he wasn't all that happy with the decision to go gold so soon. But he is a loyal guy and would probably never say so publicly even if i am right. Since he probably has more say over when to release the patch, i am certain he will try to make sure that it fixes more than it breaks before releasing it.

second one first: Go to options>audio and make sure yuo unclick "native betty". That should make the betty speak english all the time (unless you have a german version of the game) About the tower: I don't think you are doing anything wrong. The tower is just not all that bright. It will allways give an altitude of 8000 ft, a heading and a distace. When you reach it it will give you a new one. But if you choose to land it will allways clear you. There is not many things that i'm dissapointed with in Lomac but com's are one of them. The tower is particulaly hairbrained. I even tried comming in for a landing with a plane on fire and all hydraulics gone and all the red lights in the cockpit lit up. Tower cleared me for landing when i was within the usual couple of miles from the runways but when i came within the last couple of hundred feet it told me to orbit for traffic because a chopper was landing nearby :s... i have paid little attention to tower since then

I just hit the save button on the debrief screen - that seems to do the trick for me
