Does anyone know how to put 6 Maverick K's and 4 Maverick D's on a single A10? I've seen several people do it for coop A10 games, but I can't seem to add them on individually. It seems I can only select the payload combinations from the pull down menu for payload. Do you need a payload editor program or am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance. -Psychobabble

Is anyone using Track IR3 Pro for LOMAC yet? Just wondering if it was worth the cost or should I get an older version? Also, does anyone know of any deals for this, i.e. promotion code, etc? Thanks.

Thanks Foofighter. I've been waiting for all of the bugs and kinks to be worked out of TrackIR as it applies to LOMAC, and from the article, it seems it has been fixed. I guess I just need to give in a buy the thing:) No need to wait any further. Thanks for the help.

I'm stuck on mission 3 of Hawg's Life campaign: Here comes the Marines. I shot the Shilka and bombed some of the ground targets around the runway and I let the FA18's bomb whatever they choose. I get a partial success but it doesn't progress to mission 4. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or how to get to the next mission? Thanks in advance. -Psychobabble

Thanks much JayJay!

Sorry if this is a silly question, but when you launch a game from ubisoft.com lobby, will it use the speed shortcut or not? I made 2 shortcuts from desktop as suggested from above, naming the new one LockOn Speed. Do I have to make a change elsewhere to have the computer use the Speed shortcut when the game automatically launches from ubisoft.com lobby? How will it know if I have two shortcuts on my desktop?

I was trying to download MRLS Hunter from the custom missions and I get to a page that gives me the LOMAC keycard instead. I really want to play this mission, the description sounds awesome. Has anyone successfully DL'd this mission? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip! It's a cheaper and faster alternative and I'm all for freedom of choice! Nic Cole's manual is quite nice looking, though.

Just asking to see if anyone knows any sites for new custom missions, esp for the A10, but I'm interested in all of the aircraft. I know MadJeff has a thread for missions in another section of the Forums, but I haven't seen any responses. Custom missions, esp well thought out ones or historical ones, were, IMHO, what made the Jane's series even better. I'm always on the lookout for them!

Thanks for everyones input. I will DL and fly these ASAP!

I love the game so far! I would like to see add-ons, a la Jane's, from US Navy Fighters to NATO Fighters to ATF to Fighters Anthology, for example. I agree with Snapple in that a logical progression would be carrier ops next, then what have you. I would be willing to pay for addons, it's only fair to the developers for their time and effort. It's funny that you mentioned Falcon4, MadJeff! I still fly it, but it was indeed a nightmare for the first 6 to 8 months. Whenever I hear grumblings about bugs in LOMAC, I just laugh because if they had that same experience, maybe they would appreciate LOMAC and how hard Wags, Carl, and Co are working to make LOMAC enjoyable for all.

I wanted to let everyone know a fix I found for owners of Radeon 9600 Pro cards who have a problem with lock ups, especially when you go to the Options screen. Apparently, lots of owners with this card had prob with lock ups. Mine would lock up in any of the choices from the main menu except the Quick FLY buttons, but I would lock up if I crashed or tried to end teh mission by hitting the ESC key. I found the solution in a thread at Ubi.soft's LOMAC tech forum site. One way is to lower the hardware acceleration on the ATI display settings advanced troubleshoot section just 1 scale (disable cursor acceleration). You get a blinking cursor but no lockups! The other way is to enable fastwrites in BIOS, but I'm not that computer saavy to know how to do this. I just wanted to pass this info on because it took me a week to figure this out!!!

Does anyone have the mission objectives for each of the missions in the campaign? My comp will lock up on me when I chose campaign if I don't hit the FLY button when I get to the mission objectives page very quickly, thus I don't have enough time to read them, LOL! This is the farthest I've gotten to play this game, so I'm happy I can even fly a mission. Must be something in my computer, but I just got it a week ago just to play LOMAC and I have nothing else on it except LOMAC. I've tried to upgrade to all of the drivers and mess around with antialiasing and aniso filtering and virtual memory. Thanks to all of those tips from you guys. My comp is very quirky about locking up, so I have to walk on eggshells so to speak. At the end of every crash, I have to reboot if I hit QUIT; but if i hit CNTRL+ALT+DEL and end task, I can just restart the game. I love this game, I just seem to have to jump through a lot of hoops to fly, LOL! No matter, Falcon4 was much more problematic at the start. Ya gotta keep perspective, LOL!

I can't seem to get my bombs or A2G ordance to drop, but I can jettison them and I can shoot missiles and the gun. BTW, I can only fly on the quick start panes from the Main Menu, otherwise the comp locks up if I choose anything on the navigation bar. Does anyone else have this problem? -Psychobabble

Thanks Archer and Sdirickson! I don't know how I could be so studpid! HAHA! I guess I didn't bother reading the manual too well......was too eager to fly!

How much virtual memory should I set for LOMAC? The game keeps locking up after I fly a mission on Quick Start and locks up if I try to go to any other options including the Options button on the start page.

once again, thanks Yojimbo for your help!

Can anyone tell me the settings for my Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB video card, such as Antialiasing and Anisotropic filtering? Should I have them on or off? what sample speed (2X, 4X, etc.) ? Is the catalyst 3.8 drivers good enough or should I get the 3.9? MadJeff, what do you think? I just to my computer today in the mail and trying to run LOMAC. Thanks to all in advance. -Psychobabble P4 3.0 800FSB, Asus P4S800, Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB, SB Audigy

Thanks, Yojimbo, I will try that.

I don't know if this helps or not, but I bought Flanker 2.5 from Amazon.com for $10 and it has a nice tutorial section with voice overs. It is a predecessor to LOMAC, so the graphics is obviously older, but still a fun sim to fly. Just a thought. -Psychobabble

I just installed LOMAC on my new computer that I bought specifically to play this game and the game keeps locking up whenever I go to the options screen. when it locks up, the sound repeats itself and the screen can't be clicked and the mouse cursor doesn't move. I rebooted and I flew the A10 in the Quick Start button and it flew awesome. But when I crashed, the game locked up just like it did when I went to the Options screen. I set it to 16 bit color, BTW.

No firewall. I just got the new computer out of the box, set it up (no new programs), calibrated a MS Sidewinder 3d joystick, and installed LOMAC. I don't even have it connected to the internet yet. I've been trying out what works and it seems all of the quick start buttons work and I can fly at least the F15 and the A10, but I can't shoot the gun or missiles. I have the master arm on and I can change the gun rate on the A10, but Ijust can't shoot anything. The graphics are unbelievably beautiful! The flight dynamics are excellent! I love this game! Now if I can strat blowing things up, LOL!

Sorry if this is a stupid question but what does it mean when a game has "gone gold"? I know this is a good thing and it means the game is going to be released soon.

Sorry if this has been brought up before but I was wondering if someone who has flown the A10 in LOMAC can tell me how the flight model compares to the A10 in SP3 version of Falcon 4.0? I expect the LOMAC version is very good, of course. Just wanted to know how far off Falcon 4.0 SP3's flight model is in comparison. Also, if one of the real Hog drivers could comment on what they think of the A10 in SP3, that would be a bonus. Thanks in advance. -Psychobabble

Help, Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between the ATI Radeon 9600 and the 9600 Pro (both 128 Mb)? I'm building a computer for the sole purpose of playing LOMAC when it comes out and I saw an ad at Best Buy for the ATI Radeon 9600 128 Mb DDR AGP card for $150. When I went online, I see the ATI Radeon 9600 128 Mb listed as "Pro" for slightly higher. Is this a different card? If so, what is the difference. Thanks in advance for any advice. -Psychobabble
