I just started the A-10 campaign, and up up to the second mission. The wx is really bad, low visibility and very dense cloud. My frame rates hit the floor, normally I run Lock On fine. I went back into the missions weather and found I couldn't change it.

Is there any work around this? There's no chance I'll be able to complete the mission with the frames I'm getting.

Cheers.

Many missions and campaigns are classified with a password so that they cannot be easily/accidentally changed. The stock missions and campaigns that come with Lockon use the password EAGLE.

Instead of starting the Campaign by pressing CAMPAIGN from the start screen, go into Mission Editor, then upper left of screen click on the open button, bottom right TYPE OF FILE select CAMPAIGN, navigate to the campaign you want and select it. Bottom right click on MAP. Now you should see just the 1st mission of your campaign.

Top left click on EDIT, then DECLASSIFY, enter the password EAGLE. Now all the missions in the campaign should appear on the right hand side. You can fly the campaign missions in any order you want and also change skins, weapon loadout, weather, etc. I use this method all the time to cherry pick the fun missions in a campaign and miss out the dull ones. Select the mission you want and you can select your aircraft, select PAYLOAD and pick different weapons/fuel/skin, add or remove other units, change weather, time of day etc.

If you have downloaded any of the excellent missions/campaigns designed by the Lockon community, then some may be classified. Either the briefing notes or the readme file may tell you the password. Some may not.

If not, and you really want to change from what the campaign designer wanted then you can "cheat" by overwriting the password with your own. Use keystrokes rather than the pulldown menu to do this.

Press "ctrl + left shift + C" then type in a new password of your own choice e.g. jello.

Now press "ctrl + left shift + D" and enter your password e.g. jello

Note that Lockon does seem to forget that you have overwritten the password, so you may have to do this each time you restart Lockon.

Hope this helps.........

Awesome! Thanks so much mate. I knew about classifying/declassifying missions after seeing Ironhand's GUI tutorial - I didn't think the stock ones would be able to be changed.

I'll try this after school and hopefully I'll have bright sunny skies!
