Hello guys, i recently got my LockOn and im having a huge prolem: no textures on planes and on the cockpits! everything is black, exept HUD and some lights. my system:
CPU : Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2050 @ 1.60GHz 1596 MHz
RAM size : 1,013.98 MB
OS Version: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

ITs laptop Compaq V6000

heres 2 pics:



please help

To put it simple ... lock On is to big a handfull for your ( i presume ) on board graphics card.

why? any way to fix it?

nVidia users... nVidia has a new Beta (168.12 XP32 - most cards supported) driver that the Release Notes indicates, included a fix for LOMAC graphics problems...

Get yourself a graphic card that is able to run LockOn .... simple as that.

Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset

Not enough to run Lock-On on it:

"Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 Exceptional 3D graphics performance for corporate and consumer laptops.
COPP/HDCP/CGMS-A support
Enables user to view protected premium video content to be displayed while providing content protection.
Intermediate Z in classic mode
Intelligent polygon rendering for enhanced 3D graphics performance.
Adaptive de-interlacing
Enables enhanced visual quality of interlaced content on progressive displays."

But ist might be good enough to run these games:

Does anyone know if LO will work with the Intel 965GM Express Chipset??

Cant speak for any particular chipset, but would expect the answer to be sadly No. Lockon needs a decent graphics CARD. This is why so many folks come onto the Forums with graphic probs.

Minimum I'd recommend would be something of th power of a Radeon9800Pro or modeern equivalent.

Well Im having the same problem since you recommend getting a new grx card, all i have is pci slots not pci-e pci , so any suggestions , yes i know my comp is crapy... but it runs IL2 perfect

Do you have an AGP slot instead? (a bigger/longer slot next to the PCI slots)?

May also be worth checking the folder 'Properties' for LockOn and make sure that in the ADVANCED tab you have a tick in the box for "allow indexing service to index this folder".

This option has caused so many other games to lose textures being processed by graphics cards. It may not help yo, but just worth a look just in case.

I have precisely the same problem, using Intel[R] 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Extreme Graphics Controller. This is annoying, as FS2004 and FSX run PERFECTLY on my system. why is this happening, every other game/simulation runs without fault.
