Hi I am trying to add AI planes to my missions. I appear and so do vehicles'but planes don't though they appear to have the same start time as me in the editor. Also could someone explain exactly the time format as it appears in the editor? It follows a 000:00:00 format. What does each bunch of zeroes mean? Thanx

Is Janes F/A-18 the best Hornet simulator on the Market and if so anywhere i can get it cheap in Europe? Thanx

Made a mission with a Russian Plane is to destroy a Nato AWACs. I have tried Migs 23 & 25/31. I have tried intercept and evn a CAP Patrol that surrounds the AWACs and it never engages. It only flies up to the AWAC's area then lands in the nearest Airfield. I sent the mission to a mate that makes missions and he removed my plane and added his own AI Plane. Same result. He also started a new mission with just 2 planes the Mig and AWACs. Same result. Any ideas why?

Copy of Thread from LOMAC Official Site. posted Mon February 23 2004 06:34 AM Ok guys. Some of you might remember a while ago i asked if any of you wanted some friendly squadron matched.

Hi Are there any good Eagle BVR Tracks or Videos out there? Thanx

Just looking for some general Info. Just wondering how exactly you put SAM systems down in the MI. The Patriot seems to have several varients and command vehicles etc. So can i just put a patriot launcher down and it's good to go or has it got to be connected in some way to a command and radar network? So for every patriot launcher do i need a control vehicle and a Radar array? Also is the Hawk the same?

Hi I am in a Clan called BIA that play many games mostly FPS Games. However a few of us play Flight Sims such as IL-2/FB and LOMAC. Since 1.1 patch came out the game seems more playable and Stable. Therefore i would like to try some MP against non BIA Flyers. I am thinking of perhaps 3-4 of us taking on another squad probably this weekend. The questions are 1) Is anyone here interested? 2) How would we do this? Direct I.P or HyperLobby? 3) Gameplay? What would the game consist off? Deathmatches? Attack/Defend of either Ground or Air Targets? etc Let me know Asap if interested. Thanx

Hi I am looking for a list online of all the Keys in LOMAC. Not the PDF's but just on plain paper if there is one? Thanx

General Advice Just got Track IR2 and somethings i need advice on. 1) Had a couple of Occasions in the Motion section of the TR2 software where the Tracking Dot will not go full left. It's like it hits an invisible wall. This has also happened to me once in the Cockpi in Lomac. Can look all the way Right'but hit the invisible wall turning left. Any idea? 2) Also in the Tracking Motion part of the TR2 software. There is the Black Camera View Window. The yellow Ball that appears is in the Bottom Right Corner rather than Dead Centre.Is that supposed to be like that? Also when i move my head up and down on this screen the yellow ball moves correctly. But if i move my head left the ball moves right and if i move my head right the ball moves left. It does'nt happen in Lomac'but i am wondering if this is a problem?I clicked on the Invert buttons to see if this would reverse the effect'but it does'nt. Thanx

Hi I can get AI planes to land and Take off and Travel to Waypoints and Land. I can also get AI Bombers like the B-52 and B1B to Bomb OK. What i am confused with and asking for advice is mixing Nav Waypoints . For example i travel to a Waypoint. We'll call this waypoint 3 for examples sake. Waypoint 3 is the Attack Waypoint. This tells the Bomber to open the Doors and travel towards the Target i have set though this could still be several Km from the Attack Waypoint. So once it reaches the Attack waypoint the Bomber may change direction and travel many miles to bomb it.s Target.The Exact Target Coordinates is not a Waypoint'but a Target Triangle you placxe on the Map. My problem is what to do with the Bomber after it has dropped it's load. If i add another Waypoint this will be Waypoint 4 and will be at the end of a Straight line travelling from Waypoint 3. It completely ignores the Target Triangle as a spot the Bomber will go to after WP3. So if i do Waypoints and also a Target not on the Waypoint paths will the Bomber ignore the NAV Waypoint after the Attack Waypoint and travel to the Target Location?The after bombing the Target head back to the Next Nav WP? Hope this makes sense

Hi I am at work just now and trying to download the Lomac Hi Res Manual but keep getting forbidden messages by my works Browser from the Lomac.com site. Any other sites i can get it from? Thanx

Hi Hope someone can kindly help with a couple of questions. 1) I sometimes only seem to be able to put 1 coalitions forces on the Map and not the others. For instance i tried to setup an Artillery Duel between the USA and the Russians. But despite setting the Coalitions at the start i could only Place the Blue sides units down and not any Red. I could see all the flags of the Blue side'but no Russian or Ukrainian which i had set for the Red. I have had the same problem with Naval Units too. Why is this? 2) How do you make Tomahawks launch both Airborne and Naval? Thanx

I know the Faq says it can't be done. But has anyone tried? Thanx

Can someone make a Carrier Landing Tutorial Track? I can get on the glide path'but either smash too hard onto the Deck or Hit the Sea before the Carrier. I'd really apprecaite this if anyone does. Thanx bunraku@ecosse.net

Hi Cretin. I was using show anyway. I still don't get audio. I have tried to too ways. The TRK and the audio files in the same folder. And also the TRK with a seperate folder with the same name containing the audio files in the same file. Still no luck. But i've watched the video and listened to he audio after and managed my first carrier landing last night. :)

Thanx Saw the Track'but cannot get the Audio files to play. Have had them in the same folder as the Track and also in a seperate folder with the same name as the track as the readme says to do. No joy. Thanx again
