feed back concerning comms in LOCKON
I was just wondering if the devs of this sim have had a look at Janes F-18. They're comms structure and functionality is superb.
It might be a good idea to take some ideas that they use and incorporate them into your next sim. I'm assuming you do intend to continue your superb business and make LOCKON2!

But, the janes group knew air combat - especially from an American perspective - and weaved that into the comms structure of the sim:
- You had an ability to query your flight as to how much ordnance they had remaining.
- You could direct your flight in terms of flight, element and division.
- There were more tactics that you could use.
- You could station your element or division to perform a CAP where you designate.
etc etc
Quite a few commands.
So many that I probably didn't even utilize them all.
Another thing, the F4 flight sim is another star. You could look there and glean valuable lessons for the AI. There are good tactics there that would earn you much praise from the American market.
Just something to think about.
