I've created this terrain to supplement the terrain that Grandsurf and Rocky put together called LockOn Reloaded. They created the summer terrain, I've "finished" the project (so to speak) and put together autumn, spring and winter terrain. I was given permission to use some of the textures from Reloaded to modify and include in my terrain pack. I hope ya'll enjoy the fruits of my labor, this terrain represents a couple of weeks of hard work and little sleep. By ruggbutt

SIMMOD's LockOn Reloaded summer terrain is a beautiful addon for LOMAC. Grandsurf and Rocky are responsible for giving me the inspiration to modify the rest of the terrain in LOMAC. I've included Reloaded in this package, it's
been optimized as well. Thanks for Grandsurf and Rocky for allowing me to use some of their textures. I wanted there to be some commonality between my terrain and Reloaded. You can visit SIMMOD at www.sim-mod.com
 
I hope you enjoy this terrain pack.
 
This pack replaces all the original terrain files.
 
It will not show "Installed in CDDS" in ModMan because they're CDDS
files to start with. Install using the newest version of Modman
 
----ruggbutt-->

Description
 
Install using ModMan. You will not experience an fps hit with this mod, all texture files are the same size as the originals. When installed, it will show a "yellow" box in ModMan.

Here are the templates that the Viper Team uses for its skins.
