Title: LO-MAC demo out
Post by: Hristo on September 27, 2003, 03:58:15 PM

Strangely enough, I found the info at FB board. Lo-mac page says nothing about the demo (?!).

NO.

Many a flightsim master has pondered this question. The result is still the same.

Recall the demo is based on Beta # 5.  They are up to 10 now.

Real potential here. Definitely not yet ready for prime time. Had a heck of a time getting my cougar to work reasonably well but finally did. Will almost certainly buy this one when it hits the shelves.

Run smoothly on my system (2.4AMD - Radeon9700Pro - Audigy2). GFX are very good - nice heat blur and water effects.

But too much avionics stuff! Hell, it took me like 20min to figure out how to fire the gatling on the A10!!! BTW, that Mirage is a tough bugger - I would have thought that the Mig29 would have been far superior - well, maybe I am just not used to missle combat!

If you have soundproblems disable dx sound acceleration in dxconfig (as stated in the readme)

---

This sim has great potential. The only obvious flaw I found was the low speed FM of the MiG - glides like a sailplane power off.

It's out on http://www.fileplanet.com also by now.

Wow a game release on time! what a concept.
BTW it kicks arse flight model is alittle strange to me and there is alot of buttons to program into the hotas but it is a cool game.
Will buy the full version when it comes out.
