Slightly off topic but since McHonky (or similar) keeps with his Russo-Euro conspiracy putting up IL2:FB with the P-47 as example:

Worst cockpit of all in plane-set.


RTFM: SHIFT+F1 --> beautfiul view which 190 can only dream of... :)  About instrument setup - blame the designers. But P51 with fuel gauge in the back beats em all - maybe Pony drivers just didnt have to care about fuel. ;)

Ya... twist that a bit.  Let's just be specific:

U.S.:

F-15C
A-10

Russian:

Su-27 Flanker B
Mig-29 Fulcrum A, C
Su-25 Frogfoot
Su-33 Flanker D

So.. they gave the allied side a Mig-29A... that doesn't make it any less of a Russian plane.

I will enjoy flying the A-10, though I'll reserve judgement for later.  The F-15C will be a bit more disappointing.  The soviet fighters hold no interest for me.

This game would have been much better if it would have had the Tornado and F4 in it.  I find it rather funny that you're wasting time trying to convince me otherwise.  I also find it odd that nobody mentioned this here when posting the screenshots.  That is why I'm disappointed.

The other thing is in regards to any chance of on-line play.  More modern Russian vs 2 mid 70's U.S. planes and 1 late 70's soviet plane.  Hardly the makings for any kind of battle.

gorgeous pics.

If any plane was to be added to it, i hope its the Harrier.

VTOL would be amusing to have in a multiplayer sim :)

They will probably hook up US/UK/EU people to this sim with promises of new flyable and add-ons (F-16, FA/18, Eurofighter, Tornado ... ).

AI controlled? Probably krap, since they usually fly with a simplified FM (i.e.: porked and/or uber). Same thing happens in IL2-FB.

BTW, very nice pics.

I have a tendancy not to fly LW planes in AH and stick to the allied planes instead.  I have flown the 262, Ta-152 and a bit of a few others.  I have flown the Yak-9u quite a bit.  I don't fly the Japanese stuff much at all.  None of them really interest me.  If I only had a choice of those aircraft and no allied planes, I would be playing a different game.

As for LOMAC... I was hoping that the game had more planes available than the screenshots we saw... not less.  Disappointed is an understatement.

Well Guys .... according to link from miniD ...

Mig 29A is quite ok .... as you can see, there is list of NATO (whitch contain more countries that only US) airplanes....

You can see Mig29A in NATO(german) colours practice with  Mirages for example in Swiss (it was quite cool to watch them take off and on landing )


here are polish migs in NATO colours

http://www.aeronautics.ru/polishmig29.htm


So there is nothing wrong with mig 29 on  NATO side ....



edit:
one more :)

I did not link anything.

And I never said there weren't Mig-29's in NATO.  But to treat them as a mainstay NATO aircraft is pretty silly.  Hell... even a mirage would have been more fitting.

"Well... we modeled a Mig-29 for the soviets... why don't we just paint one up for Germany and call it NATO... and make it the most dominate fighter on their side."

yup mini sorry you did only quote Russian...
ok so link was by russian..


well miniD .. IMAO but if you still separate world on US and Russian, you are a bit off.... Most of North,central Europe use Mig29 you can find some countries here http://www.astercity.net/~karol1/swiatmigiang.html nobody saying that Mig-29 is main NATO airplane in lomac.... its only the best NATO/Russian airplane in Lomac for now :D

anyway im not soviet and i will be glad to fly mig29, because there wasnt much sims with flyable mig29

im not sure if mirage can compare to mig29.... dont know much about mirages....

anyway what would you recomanded as dominate fighter for NATO ?

Don't you see!!! I haven't seen Lock-On's retail Box but I bet the F-15 or A-10 is featured prominently. You’re right- this IS A RUSSIAN SIM.  But Nobody in the civilized world gives a CRAP ABOUT RUSSIAN HARDWARE and UBI knows it.  So they use smoke and mirrors to trick us.


Russian hardware is for some third world army that can’t afford American or Euro equipment.

When I want to outfit a band of terrorists I’ll go out and buy RPG’s and Ak-47’s.

When I want to outfit an Air Force I go buy F-15’s and F-16’s.

Last I heard the French haven't secured a single foreign contract for the Rafael. 0 ! As for the Gripen- only the South Africans have purchased it.  The F-16 Block 60 has been spanking all Euro-Russian hardware.  Koreans made a huge purchase of the Block 60 F-16’s.  Saudi bought a ton of F-15’s.

Now lets talk backwards third world countries.  Yep..Russian hardware.
