This dudes movies have all been insane in the past. This one is no exception.
Pure Tomcat sim porn. :)

That movie just prompted me to buy that game! The eye candy is AMAZING!
-
Thanks for sharing, that was an awesome film. That sim is absolutely beautiful:aok
Love the terrain.
-
WOW! That video was really awesome.
One of my friends was stationed on the J.F.K. and he would bring dvd's back when he was on leave. The only differences between the real video and the sim is that there were no HUD shots in the real one, and there were no people on deck in the sim. LOL, they even used the same song, which leads me to believe that the guy who made the movie has probably seen the same one that my friend brought back.
Thanks Morph, next time he's on leave i'll show him, i'm sure he'll get a kick out of it. :aok
-
WOW - that ROCKED! What game is that? Anyone ever play it? Any good besides eye candy?
-
Worst graphics I have ever seen. The sun was not realistic and the trees were placed randomly. They have a lot of work to do.
-
Squelch Dedalos ;)
those looked great, I need to see how much horsepower is needed to play that. I also wonder how much of that is game details and how much was his video editing that made it look so good.
-
Its Lock-on Flaming Cliffs. In its stock config with no addons to make it look even better it give's very good f/r.
I have been dying to make a tomcat film, then this guy brings this to the table! Sick aint it?!
The biggest problem with doing an F-14 film is that Lomac doesnt have a fully flyable F-14. You have to edit the files and to allow a person to fly it. Which is easy but then you run into other problems, like the now flyable f-14 will have the cockpit of an Su 27. So you have to edit that. After that, you have to edit the hud and radar. Then the wings wont sweep... lol. Its really a pain.
I would kill for a sim that looked like falcon 4 a/f or Lockon F/C and one that is as dedicated to the F-14 as Falcon4 a/f is to the F-16.

Thank you!!
I just read (first time... on accident even) the last two lines of your Sig.
Haven't laughed so hard in years :)
Tumor
Oh and Straffo... sheesh :)
-
Morph - how is the gameplay? Number of people online in the Multiplayer area?
Organized or every dweeb for himself?
-
You can play in hyperloby, the numbers in there are nothing like AH's MA numbers. But if they were you probably would get -100 frps.
As far as organized or not. There are squads, squad ops, missions which range from intercept, cap, ground attack you name it. My biggest problem with lockon is that it loves its russian rides. There are only two flyable US planes that lockon gives you. Any other flyable US planes must be added by players through moding existing files. So you will never get an F-14A with a flight model as realistic as the F-15C's in lockon.
Lockon came out and made a point to say that they will never add an F-14. I think its stupid. The F-14 addon for lockon is ok if you want to fly around in a tomcat with the FM of an SU-27 or 33. IMO its the best looking fighter ever created. Its too bad there is no sim out there that will offer a flyable Tomcat like Falcon4 offers the F-16. :(

I agree. I might check Falcon 4 or LOMAC out anyways just to try another Flight Sim. Janes F-15 didnt do much justice for me a few years back...
You know what else has been bugging me...Where is Hollywood with a movie about WWII fighters? Pearl Harbor was a joke. I would love to see what Hollywood and various CGI groups could do bringing a movie about the Pacfic Theater or 8th USAAF to us.
-
If you are thinking about getting into a jet sim I would recomend starting with Lomac's Lock-on Flaming Cliffs rather than jumping right into a highly complicated sim like Falcon 4 a/f. They're both unbeleiveable sims, Lockon f/c has better graphics than F4, and its a little easier to jump into and start playing. Falcon 4 will take some time to learn, and get good at. You have to start with training and go through every detail one at a time with Falcon 4. You can just get into falcon 4 and fly everything in easy mode with icons, and ez mode radar ect, but that's not much fun either and also the game likes to crash for alot of people with easy mode radar on in falcon 4 a/f.

I'd like to see a remake of The Memphis Belle one day. :)
LO-MAC's a pretty neat sim, as is Falcon. I got into Falcon more, for some reason, though. :)
-
AI would be needed for a belle film to come out looking good. Not to mention a better film viewer. As the one we have now sucks big time when it comes to making films.
-
F14s are flyable in Flaming Cliffs!??!
-
You can make them flyable. But they dont come flyable. And you aren't flying an F-14. You're flying an Su 27 with an F-14A skin. If you want to take off and be able to land on a CV you have to use the Su-33 as the Su-27 wont drop the tail hook.
In lock-on F/C any plane can be made flyable simply by editing the meinit.xml file.
If you want to get technical you can then change the cockpit and hud by further renaming the kabana glass files to either F-15C or A-10.
Its sort of like eating dirt and calling it lobster though. I wish Lockon would grow some balls and do an F-14 that is flyable. :furious
Now they have the "Black Shark" patch coming out in march. Which will be a fully flyable Ka50. The ugliest freaking chopper ever created. Why not do a freakin apache? Jesus! I'd rather have the F18. Eat what's on your plate or go hungry though... I guess.
:rolleyes:
-
Cool thanks. Sounds kinda like US Navy Fighters (1994), flying other aircraft with an F18 cockpit.
And yes, Black Shark looks amazing, even if it does look smurfy. Have you seen any of the Track IR demos? The cockpit is full-3D, trackIR 6DOF support... I'll be buying that for sure.
-
Yeah, I was putting off buying track IR for Aces High. For Lockon i think its a must. The films of it in use is sick.
I will deffinatly buy B/S as soon as it comes out. I have a feeling that you will be able to make the AH64 flyable simply by editing the meinit file as well. I just wish that the little commie lockon creators would DO SOME MORE US watermelon that is flyable out of the box.
The cool thing about editing the meinit file is that even though you are flying an Su27 FM with a tomcat skin, you also get the weapons of the tomcat, including the Aim54's. And with using the radar on the F15, you can tack and lock on at 100+ miles, and kill at the insane BVR distances the Aim54 was designed for.
Its funny when you set a mission up with F14 AI's armed with pheonix missiles. They take off of the carrier start a shallow climb and two minutes later are launching pheonix missiles and devisating any incoming enemies over 100 miles away lol. You can do the same thing with the flyable tomcat too.
-
Are those sounds in the game? Or are those editted in?
-
anyone ever play that game F/A-18 Superhornet? that was a pretty daunting sim. must be better than the F-14 too since it is replacing it, no?
its quite old now, i used to love trying to run over the deck handlers.
-
They will never make/add any aircraft that has two cockpits….therefore you will not get Tomcat, Apache etc. But ED will start working on next project which will have F16 as a main aircraft. Right now Eagle Dynamics are working on v1.2 with Ka50. It will have Advanced FM, full 6DoF and nearly fully clickable cockpit(yay!). More info can be found on http://forum.lockon.ru/ and screenshots can be viewed here (http://www.lockon.ru/index.php?end_pos=982&scr=products&lang=en)

yah, that's still ugly, like i said before.
Id rather have a cobra. But i bet it will be fun. The F16 will be sweet, I also see an F18 coming soon, within the next year or so. The skins and cockpit are there. They just need to add a refined FM.
Those sounds, sound like the stock sounds to me, he probably has the DB turned up but that's about it. It might be a sound pack. But I dont think so.
EDIT: And F-18 wouldnt be too bad either.
It already looks sick for a AI..

I was looking on Amazon.com for LO F/C - and only flound LOMAc and LO Gold Edition??? Does this Gold Edition have LOMAC and F/C?
-
I bought Lockon Modern Air Combat GOLD includes Flaming Cliffs ...
Flaming Cliff's cd screwed up from factory , called the 800 request hotline for replacement disc. 2 weeks later the new flaming cliff's disc arrives .
Did a complete reinstall of windows and all programs .... installl lockon and new replacement cd with flaming cliffs......that again includes a chitty program named Starforce .
DVD slows to a crawl , renders Nero usless, and deposits watermelon all over my registry .
Do a search on Google , brings up forums and websites with removal tools for starforce software and also different problems caused by starforce watermelon software .
Takes about a week for starforce to start fugging up HHD .....crashing system .....
Not all users of Ubisoft Flaming Cliff's having problems ,( according to Ubisoft BBS ) but enough to make lots of people pissed , me included ...
Dumped the LockOn game in trash and just moved on to falcon 4 Allied Force, F4 AF learning curve stiff, but atleast it dosent fugg my pc up with so-called publishers piracy protection software, ( StarForce ) that rendered my pc a usless POS !
:mad: ..........

The gold addition is F/C. You should just go to the store and buy it. What checkers mentioned is very true, and most of the time in the store they have a higher rate of circulation. And you probably wont be getting an older copy of the game. I picked my last pack up in Circuit City. No problems from day one, everything runs fine.
-
There are no plans for F18 since developers never once said that it even ‘might’ make it. The reason was because no reliable information available due to navy still holding most of it classified, unlike F16 which is all around the world and available for ED to use.
-
Good point. I would rather they offer a "Generic" AI FM with cockpits that could be modeled by players with an FM that could be tweaked for planes that they do not plan on ever doing... Like the F-18 or F-14.
Btw, for those of you who liked this guys film, more can be found here...
http://www.patricksaviation.com/user.php?action=lists&id=135
I also recomend you download atleast a few of the last "Fighter Fling" movies at this site as well. They are without a doubt, pure tomcat porn and some of the best fighter films I have ever seen.

This makes sense. I wonder what the F14 info circulation is? Thanks Morph for clarification.
Morph - back in the 80s - did you have the plastic model F-14 attached to a grip handle with a big red button on the top that made a target lock-on sound when u pushed it? (cant find pic on the web...)
I sure as heck did :)
