ahh, that Israeli F-15C screen is a screenshot I took about 5-6 months ago. Recognised it instantly. I made it a day or two after that skin was released and then posted it to the UBI screenshot sticky. Someone at ED must have liked it. :yes:

buggah!

That's pro-active, wish I had said that years ago.

Go to F2 view and then press Shift-J

heh, well hang on to her Nick, she sounds ideal. :yes:

And F117A, Tornado, TFX and EF2000 etc., that were all awesome in their day. EDIT: Forgot to mention AV8B, I liberated East Timor a few times in that sucker. :)

heh, now those look like fun. :)

Hi 000scott000, man I feel for your having to wait until Christmas for Lock On, what a drag huh? Be aware though mate, your new computer should have at least 512 meg of RAM and a fast video system (ATi9700 performance is about the minimum I would be aiming for) and a fast CPU (2.8 Gig or better is good). It'll work ok with lower specs than this but the better the PC you use, the faster and smoother it plays (and the better it looks). Lock On is a year old, and the 1.02 patch optimised it quite a bit, but it still hammers my PC harder than any other sim/game on the market today. Good luck!

Looks great, it would be nice to have the recent posts links that were on the BioHaz homepage, would be good to have them there again.

Now those are sweet, looks like they changed the missile smoke as well.

Thanks guys, it's heartening to hear you are enjoying the result as much as I like to tinker with it. :)

zzzspace v6.1 Sound Pack zzzspace V6.1 Sound Pac (29 meg LOMAN zip) Description: Version 6.1 is a COMPLETE REPLACEMENT of all sound effects within Lock On—install using the LOMAN installer. Other mirror sites are very welcome to mirror this sound effects pack--enjoy. -- Changes in this pack and mainly: Major changes to radio comms loop; it’s now 33 mins long and uses entirely new recordings (mostly from recent ‘Red Flag’ exercises) and has many international accents and also female pilots included. Tedious looping artefacts removed from the v6.0 engine sounds (annoying during long missions, hearing the more obvious repeats cycling through). Much better missile launching sounds in this version, and a tweak to the missile engine sound. Tanks and vehicles and machine gun tweaked Plus a dozen or so less obvious refinements which you may or may not notice, for example, the dry thrust engine sound in the pit when supersonic is a little louder now once the burners are shut off, it doesn’t suddenly go completely quiet etc. regards, zzzspace ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 6.1 is designed to work ONLY with Lock On1.02 Use the following Lock On audio slider settings in order to hear these sounds at their best: MASTER VOLUME = 100% MUSIC = 20% RADIO = 35% ENGINES = 100% MECHANICALS = 100% EFFECTS = 100% WIND = 100% WARNING = 50% COCKPIT = 85%

A thorough initial 'look under the hood' again Paralyzer. ;) Thanks for the perfect score mate,I'm glad you are enjoying it; having both excellent sound and the amazing graphics in Lock On makes it a real pleasure to fly for me. I remember playing Microprose F-117A NightHawk on an Intel286 in about 1990, through a little internal cardboard PC speaker (a really horrendous tinny continuous high-pitched screeeeaaach!!!) and a real F-111 did a low-level flyby past my window ... and you can’t help but hope that one day the PC flight sims will have sound and graphics like that. It's still not like an actual fighter jet in action but v6.0 is much closer that any of my previous sound packs and I don't know if I can better it within Lock On. The F4+BMS sound engine looks very promising though, but the F4 crowd are so ‘up themselves’ about ‘realism’ that I don’t know that it’s worth the effort to improve the sounds in that sim (although it is screaming out for it!). I'm getting more and more addicted to Lock On action these days, despite the on-going frustration of buggy mission planning tools and essentially no documentation. Lock On brings things that previous jet sims didn't have, or didn't do well, and that is its saving grace, else I'd be flying F4x and IL2x. Anyway, just sharing what I use, glad you enjoy it mate—cheers! @ GhostDog, thanks mate, BioHaz is THE Lock On support site for me. :D

Thanks Paralyzer, these will give your Kilspch speakers a work out--have fun! :D

zzzspace v6.0 Sound Pack [ EDIT by GhostDog. Link removed - file is now available in the Biohaz download section] Description: Version 6.0 is a COMPLETE REPLACEMENT of all sound effects within Lock On—install it via LOMAN. Other mirror sites are very welcome to mirror this sound effects pack--enjoy. -- I thought v5.1 would be my last sound pack, but I recently discovered a new way to combine engine and flight effect sounds within Lock On so I am releasing a new sound pack, version 6.0, which incorporates this as well as many new high quality jet engine sound samples. This pack has the highest quality sounds so far assembled for any modern air combat flight sim, and is what I had hoped would be possible when I first began making sound-packs for Lock On, about 6 months ago. I've also created two sound demonstration tracks with which to show-off the exceptional ‘sound-scape’ and audio quality contained within the pack. You’ll find these tracks in the folder; …Lock On\Missions\Tracks\Demo I’ve made a concerted effort to authentically replicate the engine sound of an F-15C within version 6.0 (and to greatly inprove all the jet sounds) so be sure to set my recommended audio slider settings, then turn up the volume as high as you dare and start the included track named “zzz_f-15c_soundemo.trk”. This track depicts the best audio ever within a civil jet combat 'sim'. Special appreciation and acknowledgment to Andrew Hicks for his high-quality ‘Avalon 2003’ recordings of USAF F-15C demonstration flights.

Thanks guys, and cheers GhostDog, BioHaz provide a great service to the community and it is much appreciated, if not always recognised. Keep up the good work.

Thought I might share around with the community what I’m presently using within Lock On 1.02 for sound these days. This new pack uses many different sounds to version 5.0. Many main engine and flight sounds were extracted from new high-quality audio recordings of jets in flight, or rolling on runway or taxiways. Most of the sounds in this pack have been thoroughly edited or retouched to some extent, to enhance the sonic 'realism', detail and clarity of the pack; both in and out of the cockpit. VERSION 5.1 for LOCK ON 1.02: [Edit by GhostDog : Link removed - file updated in the Biohaz downloads] DESCRIPTION: zzzspace's version 5.1 sound pack is 100% compatible with Lock On 1.02 and is a complete replacement of all the sound effects within Lock On—install using the LOMAN utility. Other mirror sites are welcome to host this V5.01 sound effects pack as well--enjoy. regards, zzzspace -- These sounds are NOT designed to work properly with any earlier version of Lock On than version 1.02. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that these Lock On sound slider settings be used, in order to hear these sounds as they were designed and intended: MASTER VOLUME = 100% (or to whatever setting works best to balance in with any voice comms program you may use) MUSIC = 20% RADIO = 35% ENGINES = 100% MECHANICALS = 100% EFFECTS = 100% WIND = 100% WARNING = 50% COCKPIT = 85% cheers peeps!

Hey, great stuff! Getting a bandwidth limit exceeded messsage though.

Yeah, the volume from the wingman is too loud, but that is just the way Lock On handles the sounds from all exterior objects, i.e. any sound that is replicated is also doubled in volume during playback. With one engine you get volume level x but with two, you get x + x ... so when you have another jet beside you the sounds are all double ... and unfortunately, this volume doubling is heard inside the cockpit as well  ... so when you have 4 jets in close formation ... scheech! ... way too loud! You don't notice this so much from the standard sounds that come with Lock On, because they were very quiet and muffled (dulled down) to begin with. In order to get all the other sounds and views to work with proper dynamics, loud wingmen is the result, there's no way to get around it (unless E.D. did another patch and worked in a way to isolate the other aircraft sounds, so that you only hear the sounds from your aircraft—but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one happening anytime soon, if ever). To compensate, I set the wingmen to always fly open formation, which is much more realistic anyway (or I vector them to the next waypoint, and I fly above them, which works better tactically anyway). But at the airfield it's pretty loud with another jet (or 4) near you. Sorry guys, it can't be helped, for the time being.
