Any LOMAC Pilots On JW?

[SFDMALEX]

Well I rember starting a topic on sim racing and was amazed at the fact that a forum full of auto enthusiasts would not be intersted in auto simulation :| *you lame bastards :lol: j/k*

So are there any sim flight players here, or LOMAC players in particular?

Sweet. Its the best sim on the planet! Just make sure you have a decent joystick, and time to learn it...cause it aint easy

Holy fucking shit...that's VERY impressive...what sim is that? I've tried some sims before but they are way too demanding for my crappy PC...

Its Lock On: Modern Air Combat

And I have bad news for you. You need at least a 2.4 P4 to run it, and preferably 3.0GHZ for good performance. Its as CPU as vid card demanding :|

LOL... i was gonna get it, but my 1.7 P4 is waaaayyy too slow :roll:

Also my GeForce2 32MB is just about good enough to display windows :oops:

[SFDMALEX]

Sorry to hear that mate :( I know its a bitch. But its so good when you get it running smoothly that its really worth it if you are into Jets :wink:

[No.1]

LOL... thanks for the sympathy :D

I will eventually sort it out... gimme a few years though :wink:

[SFDMALEX]

Well with those specs you posted there THamar its good enough for running it at 640x480 on low

[SFDMALEX]

"Recommended" specs are

P4 2.0/AMD 1800
Dx8 128mb vid card
512ram

and at that it will run like shit.

[sentra_dude]

Damn, those screen shots look sweet! My computer is right above the min specs...so I guess it will still run like shit...is it still worth checking out? 8) :P

[SFDMALEX]

Sure it is man. You will just have to lower a few settings.

[Chaos in 1983!]

I have a GeForce2MX 32Mb as well...LOL...


keep an eye on UL/DL in the next few days


Thanks Thamar...I will...I'll save it for my new hopefully soon to be built sistem :D

[sentra_dude]

Cool.

I checked out their offical site...wow that game looks sweet. 8)

[stracing]

keep an eye on UL/DL in the next few days ;)

which joystick would you guys recommend? i've been wanting to get one coz i've got a few flight sims but i now realise its impossible to control on keyboard

[SFDMALEX]

well this one is considered to be the best thing on the market

I have it and I recomend it. But they have the highest price aswel.

[jon_s]

Oh man that looks good!

I used to play them a lot when I had a bit more time!

Could you atleast write the name of that joystick, I think its a sidewinder 2 or something like that...

[SFDMALEX]

What for? You got the name just right :wink:

*You'll probably get a kick out of this :D

I watched the Lomac site all through 2003 waiting for Lomac, bought it, tried it out on my P3 933, Geforce 2 GTS, 384 mb ram and - not suprisingly - it ran like a slideshow...

Its been almost 12 months since I bought it and it still sits in its box. :lol:







p.s

I'll probably wait till P4 4.0 comes out then replace my almost 4 year old machine.

Even with P4 3.0/3.2, you can't turn all the graphics up.
(ie. I've heard that the ocean graphics have to be turned down even with the current top of the line pc's.)

I don't want to buy a computer now and find that I've got to turn things down, I want to get the most out of Lomac, I want to see it with all the bells and whistles turned on.



I remember Falcon 4.0 back in '99.

It ran ok on my P2 350 - but is was awesome on my current machine.

[SFDMALEX]

hehe, well Im at 3.5ghz with a Ti4600 and I still cannot run full graphics. But I run pretty high and it looks stunning.
