Hey gang.

Getting back into LOMAC after taking some time away from it.

Got it installed again on the new system and patched up.

Fired up a server last night, and my buddy was able to join, no problems.

I was sitting in my 'pit and looked and saw him enter, his plane showed up and everything, but at that point, we were not in synch.

I would open my canopy, turn on my lights, and he would do the same, but the aircraft remained motionless and lightless.

I would taxi, and he would still see me just sitting there.

We tried several times, but it just wouldn't GO!

Has anyone seen this issue? Any troubleshooting I can do to get this worked out?


I'm using TrackIRPro, and we both have the Saitek X45, using a LOMAC profile.

Other than that, it's pretty much standard stuff... version 1.02 of LOMAC is on both our machines.

Thanks in advance for any helpful tips.
Would love to be flying Co-Op soon.

This is a bit of a stab in the dark, but you might need to make sure you both have all the ports open.

Yeah, it did cross my mind. I figured that since he was able to connect to my server, be in the game and see the menus, choose a side, choose a loadout and click 'fly' and show up in the game, (we were on Ventrilo at the same time, too) that we had that nipped in the bud. By the way, I believe we just opened up the default port (not ports, as in more than one)... I don't think it's necessary to open more than the one that the game requires.

Kind of odd problem here.

Anyone?

While he appears to be sitting on the runway to me, and I to him, he tells me he's flying around. So, I strafe his aircraft on the ground, and he tells me his plane just blew up on him while he was in flight.)

We're basically out of synch right from the start.

GRRRR!

Perhaps you should ask at the Eagle Dynamics Board. I think I remember seeing one of the devs/testers mention this specific problem, though I didn't find it doing a quick search.

Use the internet game option and not lan to host.

I am using Internet, actually, since my friend is at another location.

Hitman, thanks, i'll check it out.
Thanks!

Hitman what is your's and your friends server/internet speed ?

Wombat, I fly from a 512/256 ADSL line on Hyperlobby servers. S77th, JaBog etc.

But wasn't this question for Snapdad?

We're both on Cable, and have no issues playing all sorts of games together.
