Ok guys... here is the latest as of today, 3-15-04, hot from Unisoft:

Hello everyone,

Below is a run-down of the items currently addressed in the Lock On v1.02 patch (currently around 32 MB). Please bear in mind that this list is by no means complete and several items will still be added before we consider it ready to go. As to when that will be, just as soon as we feel it is complete and addresses the major issues that we wanted to address for this patch. Hang in there please.

-Matt

The F-15C will now automatically transition from Home On Jam (HOJ) to an STT radar lock when ECM burn-through has been achieved


Increased F-15C ability to burn-through ECM to 25 - 30 nm

If Russian aircraft loses radar lock, the EOS sensor will attempt to continue lock if range
allows


Like the real aircraft, Russian aircraft will now lose radar lock if they roll more than 110-degrees


Fixed aircraft velocity and target velocity indicators for Russian HUDs


Range bumping on F-15C VSD has been corrected and TDC is reset to center of VSD after a range bump


Increased the thickness of the RPI, RTR, and RMIN lines on the F-15C's HUD DLZ

Corrected incorrect zoom-in external views for track playback if zoom was changed when paused while recording


Mouse disabled while TrackIR is in enhanced mode


Changed cockpit and external object camera movement according to a logarithmic acceleration rate. Made separate camera keyboard control acceleration parameters for cockpit and external views (see Config\View\View.cfg for details, please).


Decreased explosion sizes


Integrated scripted language Lua 5.0 to the project. Moved view config parameters from the

Config\View\View.cfg to the Config\View\View.lua file. Renamed Config\View\View.cfg to Config\View\Labels.cfg

times
