Oh yeah, so says Wags, who hasn't shown his "excellent" skill yet...

Originally posted by BeachAV8R: Ah..a couple years ago a fine guy named Nic Cole entered an agreement with Eagle Dynamics (or Ubi?) to manufacture a printed LOMAC "enhanced" manual. The result was nothing less than spectacular...a color, printed manual bound a nice leather case. Sadly Nic Cole died while on vacation (in Thailand?)..and production ceased (as far as I know)... Yes, sadly Nic was killed in Thailand in a boating accident 11 months ago. It appears production ceased after that. If you ever run across one, they are a great resource... I think you can learn everything you need to from the FC manual. The FC manual is not just a supplement to the LOMAC 1.0 manual; it is a complete manual that covers all aspects of Lock On 1.1.

I also remember being brutalized by Valhalla... still one of the best combat flightsim campaigns I have had the pleasure of flying. After Nic passed away his brother tried to tie up the loose ends of the manual production and complete the remaining orders. He was truely a gentleman and put forth a great effort to help out Lock On customers with his manual. I am honored that I was able to contribute and work with him.

Hey Beach... the key to keeping the rubber on the nosewheel intact is to make sure that when you lower the nosewheel it is straight when it touches down. Here is a track I made a long time ago of a xwind landing of 12 m/sec. http://www3.telus.net/public/shepskii/Shep-xwind.rar

Thanks for these reports Beach. You have single handedly sold me on the immersion and quality of this sim that I am looking for right now.
I am an IL2 series guy but wanted to get into the modern jet scene and this looks like where its at. Keep em coming! I can't wait to fly this sim after I hopefully recieve it as a gift for Christmas.
