Lock On Gold Reviews
Great sim. here are servers that do use the 1.1 version but as stated many use the 1.12b version. Note it will not upgrade to Lock On Flaming Cliffs v1.12b it will update to version 1.1 this somewhat inhibits the online play as a lot of online gamers use the 1.12b.
I currently am using a HIS RADEON 1650GT and can not max out the water visuals but I am close, but this game came out in 05 and the 1650GT is a recently released card,bad coding I guess. I like this sim, the graphics are great if you have the card to drive them and you will need a hefty card if your still in AGP mode like I am. I do recomend this sim. This sim flies well and if you can plug it to a wide screen HDTV with a decent graphics card you will have a blast flying and shooting after some practice.
If you get this game, you MUST get teamspeak and hyperlobby and a headset and play online. :) The US missiles leave much to be desired, but oh well. This is a incredible game (it's not even a game really). This game rocks, however, you will be spending more money on a joystick. The flight charactoristics are awesome in the Su 25 and 25t. The radar is very realistic (able to beam and notch the pulse doppler effect, you are able to change the pulse repitetion frequency, and much more).
CAVEAT EMPTOR. The next restart had me formatting and reinstalling my OS. Lots of folks play LOMAC and maybe I need to find a copy of it alone for trouble free play. I had lost my DVDRom completely and my DVDR was showing as a CDRom. After learning about Starforce copy protection (Google "Boycott Starforce" for the details).
and that it was only on disc two with the "Flaming Cliffs" install;. I installed the first disc only and had a bit of trouble getting it to work on my widescreen. I have since stopped buying any games from companies that uses Starforce copy protection. This and another game have taught me to read the reviews closely. and causes trouble for the end users who actually pay for the product. before paying good money for something you can't or don't want to use.
After a couple of days,. Now, I have no proof that the disc 1 did this but strongly suspect that Starfoce was behind the problem. Many have posted similar problems after installing games with that copy protection on them. It does nothing to the Pirates who will, do and have gotten around it. I finally found a solution in adding my resolution to the config.ini file. This Game/Simulator was fun for the short time I had it working.
The Eagle Dynamics company forum was no help at all; save one person who responded but had no answers. It worked well for the evening I played it but, the next day when I started my computer;.
For all new players.use hyperlobby for multiplaying, u dont have to tell the hobbies of your parents there like u have to do at ubisoft regestration :-). Best combat simulator ever. Nothing left to say, but I hope they will go on with that. Looks amazing for the age of the game, but there are graphicprogramming-techniques today which could give even more quallity with more performance. The programming is a bit waste of performance. Please eagledynamics, build another great version of this fantastic Simulator.
