the graphics of the game is excellent.
I am an engineer, and I know that this is the challenging part.
There are some eazy to implement issues that should be added so it will be a perfect simulation with better reality.

1. publish energy-maneuver diagrams for each specific aircraft.
you suppose to have the mathematical functions of the aircrafts models beacause they are already simulated.

2. add an option to set a custom sensitivity for all 3 axes trims.

3. there is no option to move the head exactly 180 degrees back, only close to this number.
it may be crucial in dog fights.

4. add force feed back forces for joystick "sidewinder force feedback 2" and other types.
the force feedback should react to G's, winds, landing touchdown etc.

5. add more detailed custom weather, where I can set detailed weather which will be different for different aeras.

6. for complexity sake, add VOR and NDB stations to cover all the map and add the relevant instuments in the cockpit for them (OBS, RMI, VOR gauge, setting NAV frequency and swap button)

7. simulate snow and rain

8. I do not know if there is such a feature, but I didn't succeed to save a specific viewpoint from the pilot's eyes to whatever key that I want.
It is important not only to save the vector of the sight but the zoom too.
in other words, add the feature that every specific sight of the pilot eyes with a specific zoom can be saved to custom key that i choose.

You could change something in the game file that will allow you to look 180 degrees back. I could tell you but i need to know which version of Lock On are you running. 1.02 or 1.1?

There is snow and rain in the game. Especially in 1.1 where we get the a very nice season pack.

Hey! I wanna be able to look at my own 6 in a knife fight!! I am running 1.02. Is there a way?

The Scotsman was Here!

**** i just recently switched to 1.1 so I can't tell you the exact instructions. But i do know the file is in Config/View/...i think its called cockpit. look for something like this HAngleMaxDefault = 140.0
VAngleMinDefault = -65.0
VAngleMaxDefault = 115.0
HAngleMaxSu25 = 140.0
VAngleMinSu25 = -65.0
VAngleMaxSu25 = 115.0
HAngleMaxF15 = 140.0
VAngleMinF15 = -65.0
VAngleMaxF15 = 115.0

You change the numbers according to how far you want to look back. HOWEVER...ED didn't plan on this in 1.02. So on the back of the flanker's head seat, there is a missing texture. It is corrected in 1.1 with a 3rd party's addon and it works fine. But since you are using 1.02, i suggest you don't change it since it kinda bothered me to see an empty texture.
