I am having a problem with sound.

When I fly the A10 I have no engine sound. I can hear the weapons impact, but very low sound (I think that is OK since I am in an enclosed cockpit and not beside the explosion).

I also have no sound at all in the training mission. The very first mission I hear no engine sound, and the second training mission showin how to start the jet I have no sound except external sounds. Also the video seems to be out of wack with what is happening.

Problems so far
In the training mission
1) It says that it will close the canopy, but when the external view comes on it is open.

2) It says to start enging by pressing the button combination but no sound.

3) It says that we will taxi, but I remain park. All of a sudden the screen jumps to flying jets.

4) When I press Ctl Q to take over, I press the button combination and nothing happens.

In missions
1) I have tried to enable the throttle in the options screen and had it working for some jets, but the A10 I cannot throttle. The single mission will start in the air, and I start to loose airspeed immediatly.

I have gone back to the options screen and it shows that the swtich has been swtiched back to keyboard. I switch back to my ch controller and still not working.



Since installing, I have had so many problems getting this game to start, does the Ubisoft customer service tech support work. Do they help as I want to call them tomorrow

My current setup is

Lock-on with Flaming Cliffs patch to 1.12 (althought only 1.02 shows in menu - is that another problem?)

Win xp
Dual core E8400
GForce 8800GT
4 gig ram
Ch pro fighterstick, throttle and peddals

I think I already answered one of your posts on SimHQ, read that regarding phone support, etc.

Lockon is very sensitive about tracks, and that includes the training tracks. The advantage of tracks is they are very small since they record as little as possible. The disadvantage is that changes made by patches affect how they play back on newer versions of Lockon. This might be the behaviour that you are seeing in your training tracks. It can be as minor as the mouse pointing to the wrong instrument during basic flight training or as major as the aircraft actually crashing.

Tracks need to be played back on the same patch level of Lockon that they were made on. So with the original Lockon, most folks will run through the training stuff a few times before they patch up to v1.02 (the last patch for original Lockon).

I have no idea why your throttle should be working in some jets and not others, seems very odd.

Common misunderstanding. There is no "single thing" in control in Lockon. Example, you assign a joystick button to flaps down. Pressing F on the keyboard will still work the flaps. So when you go into options and see keyboard listed in that pulldown menu, it is not because Lockon has reverted to only keyboard control, it is that keyboard is simply the 1st item in that pulldown list. If your CH stick is anywhere on that pulldown list then Lockon knows it is there. If it isn't working correctly, there is some other problem, dont have any CH stuff (have X52 myself) so maybe someone else can help.

This sounds odd.

This is how you can tell what exactly you have installed. If you have original Lockon, the your initial screen looks like this (6 aircraft and 3 dials at the bottom. If patched to v1.02 it shows in the middle dial.




If you have Flaming Cliffs then 7 aircraft and 1 dial. Whatever patch level you have shows up in top left where mouse is pointing on the picture.



Props to (I think) konkussion, who first posted these pics....

MAybe.. Something we used to see from time to time was new guys slapping a patch onto version 1.02.

You cannot do this.

The patch 1.12 is for FLAMING CLIFFS owners. FC was version 1.1 hence the patches- 1.11 & 1.12

I dont know anything about Flaming clifs but I wish i had it
