Hi there! I've been using for quite a long time now the Saitek X45 in my flights and I'm really happy with it. I've been reading lately about the X52. Do any of you have it? Is it really worth to upgrade from the X45 to the X52? -- FatBoy

Thanks for your feedback Flappy. After reviewing, I'll follow the advice from PG_Raptor and Buff and stay with my X45 for now... Until I get a REAL limitation that makes me "upgrade"... Thank you all! -- FatBoy

Congratulations subarug! Enjoy it! I've been using the X45 for more than a year now, and no complains... So I can imagine how the X52 feels... Happy flying! -- FatBoy

Thanks for the opinions guys... I'll investigate a little further in the functional side... If it offers more than the X45 (more than just the little LCD screen) then it's, definitely, worth it... Thanks again. -- FatBoy

I was wondering if there are any new functionalities in the X52... Yeah, I know, "If it works, don't touch it...", but why don't try to make better something that's already good? -- FatBoy

Congratulations Tim! Way to go...! -- FatBoy

One more idea... -- FatBoy

Hey Skater, that's a good idea... Sure, suggestions are welcome... Gonna work on that... Enough time 'til middle of July... Thanks... -- FatBoy

Hi: Very raw idea... Just playing around... Not too good with colors though... -- FatBoy

Most of them come in .zip files, containing a "readme" file with directions... You can either copy them directly to LockOn folders or user LOMAN utility (http://loman.checksix-fr.com) to apply them... Just make sure you're playing using the same resolution the skins have or you'll see weird paintings in your planes... ;) -- FatBoy

Hi there! When playing 1.1, SU-27 Campaign, Mission #4 "Escort Strike Airplane" it keeps failing. I mean, during the mission you're suppose to escort a Su-24 flight attacking a building... After shutting down the two F-5 and two F-16, both Su-24 have been shutdown already by some SAM... I remember playing the very same mission in 1.02 and it didn't happen... Any idea? I'm just stuck in this mission which BTW I already flew like 5 times with the same result... Regards, -- FatBoy

Yep, I have heard of people doing that... Just didn't want to cheat... ;) I think this is the only option left now though... Thanks Jedi and... Good luck with the A-10 Missions! -- FatBoy

Hi: Is(Are) there any other place(s), other than HyperLobby, to play LOMAC online? -- FatBoy

Thanks Fates... -- FatBoy

Hi there: Anyone knows about any Virtual Squadron in Florida or Miami area? -- FatBoy

Well, right now I'm flying "LockOn 1.1"... -- FatBoy

I'm sure we're enough people in Florida to create a squadron... So, let's do it... What do we need? Any idea? -- FatBoy

Hi there: Just yesterday I found about this title "Lock On Gold" to be released soon http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/256249.asp Even though the description is quite similar to "Flaming Cliffs" it claims it's not it... Have any of you read or heard about it? -- FatBoy

Thanks Bob... Good to know... Nice try guys... -- FatBoy

Thomas: You can order it on CD from Natural Point, one of the few sites selling it on CD. http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/01-sto...re-catalog.html For a features description you can check http://www.lockon.ru/ Even though the site's domain is russian, it's in english. Regards, -- FatBoy

Hey... We also speak english down here... Actually both... English and Spanish... Even a little Russian! -- FatBoy

That's an idea... I haven't find any in this area... Don't know what's needed to do it but definitely a good idea... -- FatBoy

Hi there: I'm planning to start building my first missions and campaigns but it's not so simple as I thought, at least at the beginning. Anyone knows about any reference site or guide I could use to start? Just to go a little faster... Otherwise, I'll do it from zero and then create some document for those in need... :moil:

Thanks ZoomBoy! I'll check and start working on it... I have several ideas for campaigns!

Hi there: Most of the time, when installing new skins, manually or using LOMAN, some of them get "corrupted". They don't show properly and sometimes the plane has no paint scheme at all. I opted for just use the "standard" skins provided originally in the game... Any help?
