LOMAC for Vec Expansion?

[JRH147]

Is this being supported? Is it possible - or will there be another Russian block?

[Homolje37]

Any coments here?

It is not supported at this time. As with PF, the textures in the cockpit are not very friendly. There are a few options that are being looked at.

I'm preapared to start holding my breath on this one, too. I think you should have a good chance with this one, because it's still very much in developement unlike the Il-2 series, which will be shortly replaced by BoB. LoMAC will shortly have the new 1.1 version and other future developement is supposed to be underway. Furthermore, there are only 5 cockpit models to work with. Many LoMAC players love the TIR and as far as I know you should have a decent chance of going all the way with 6DOF and LoMAC.

We could all fly to Russia and hold a 'sit in' protest at ED's HQ. Heck, we could go to 1C's HQ too.

It works for all these idiots walking around campus protesting....

Hmm maybe they would be convinced if we sat in front of their office and stopped breathing.

But hasn�t UBI dropped all support for LOMAC? Maybe doesn�t mean anything...

[Charlie251]

Andy, you are just all about turning blue arent you? LOL

UBISoft has dropped all support for Lock On but there was a deal where ED could continue to develop it to a certain extent. To what extent I do not know. It may have been just one major upgrade and two patches.... it may have been more or maybe even less. I dont know.

But it was at least one since 1.1 is coming out. I heard rumor that they are done after that though... but I may be wrong there.

Well Jim once told me to hold my breath if I wanted to have PF support for TIR and I assume holding breath has something to do with enabling 6DOF in a specific game.

I must admit that I wasn't very good at that, though. I did try but always when I passed out I automatically started breathing again. I feel guilty about this because I'm afraid not having 6DOF in PF is actually my fault.

By the way, has anyone told Oleg he wouldn't have to do the 6DOF thing for free? If the feature was implemented only in a patch for the latest version some Il2SFBAEP-trackers would have to buy PF. I calculated that the amount of income would be sufficient for no less than about one beer at the local pub after a 19 hour day implementing 6DOF.
