I got the hyperlobby client and connect to it,
but found nobody there?
What's going on?
Nobody plays the game still?

There's usually at least a few people and depending on time of day 40+. Make sure you have Lockon Flaming Cliffs v1.12. You need this patched version to play on the regular servers

?? 16 in lobby 45 in game right now at 2 pm sharp eastern time.. Middle of the work day for all 4 US time zones.

Record numbers over the past few weeks..

Don't know where you've been.

I install the HypperLobby Pro 3.9.111 downloaded from LockOnFiles site.
In the main menu, I choose "Lock ON Modern Aircombat", and press "connect" button.
(I'v got registered and it show I have connected)
But there is nothing there.

Do I install the wrong program or do something wrong?

Sorry... I don't see the password confirm message.
Everything should be alright,though I can't login in yet because happening some error...
That version seems not running well in vista.

I guess that the reason is HyperLobby isn't capable of the vista in Chinese language...sigh...

I don't know about Chinese language having an effect- but if you run HL "as administrator" that will likely help a lot.

Sorry just a little pessimistic When you play other online games with server numbers in the hundreds then the number of players and servers can seem small in HL. I'll jump on HL at 4Am on a Sat and see maybe 3 or 4 people sometimes. Of course there are other times when you get on a server with 60 people and all h*ll breaks loose! Not that Lockon having a small community doesn't have it advantages. Lot's of helping people who are close knit.

Now you people who play offline, get HL and get online! Join a server's teamspeak or join a squad. Flying beside a human wingman is nothing like flying with the AI. You'll learn lots and have way more fun!

I seriously want to do that. But can I play without a mic?

You can play, but you're missing out on critical comms. Think about how insane it would be to fly a real plane with no radio. Almost every server has a TS or Ventrilo channel available. Maybe I'm being harsh- but if you're not on comms, you're not really on the team, IMO. I'm not going to put myself at risk typing unless I'm on a safe ingress/egress leg. For some, it's just too much like babysitting. I don't even see 70% of the chat because it's too obscure, and because I use comms.

Once I find a cheap router (and my check gets here) Ill be flyin Hyperlobby nightly when I dont have homework to do.

Man...I hate the FAA.

Thanks for the answer, Konkussion, that's pretty much what I thought myself..

I'm getting more and more incllined to get TrackIR 4 now, maybe I'll order a good top-end headset along with it.

Edit: "Can't found Lock-on" ??? Hyperlobby is weird stuff. Will I have to re-install the game to C. root maybe?

Here is 2 screenies:




Arrrgh!

It finds the file via the search-function, I click save, and it claims it can't find it..

Please, what am I doing wrong?

I might have found the problem!

Looks like I set the path to LoMac and not FC.. I just didn't know they were separated..

Nope. Complete re-install and I entered the exact path to the FC executive. Same error message. Damn it, I hate computers when they act like this!

SHould be

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\LOCKON.EXE

"C" is wherever you installed it.

If you're on Vista run HL as administrator

Ooooh, I'll try as soon as I get back from work. Thanks again

By the way, does anyone else get that first "unexpected error; quitting" message when opening the program?

yes- HL didn't want to install on my Vista rig without 3 or 4 dire warnings. I think I just clicked right through them and finished it up. Once I had it on I immediately kicked in the administrator option and it's fine now.

Several LOMAC related programs will give shut down errors on Vista- especially LOMAC (alone) & Naturalpoint version 3.10. (OLD version- shouldn't bother TIR4 users)You can disable the UAC's and that will fix most of it. I have found the occurences are reduced with LOMAC freezing at shutdown when running through HL. It's not too unusual to have to shut down LOMAC through task manager if you ran it alone. NAturalpoint does it everytime, but I do not have to kill it manually- it does quit on it's own.

The "run as administrator" trick worked like a charm! Brilliant!
