Well, thanks for all your responses, guys. I was unaware that FC2 was completely standalone from Lock-On. I've had nightmares dealing with all the driver-type stuff that Starforce introduced to my system. I've had several bad downloads, again and again, with FC2, for which I blame StarForce. So I got rid of Starforce, finally, and this time, instead of adding FC2 as a subfolder of Lock On, I gave it it's own directory, altogether. Now it works great!! (Now I'm just dissapointed that the gorgeous cockpits aren't interactive, and I'm supposed to memorize a KAJILLION key/HOTAS commands for EACH PLANE, when the switch is...right...there....) After all that, I might shelf the game, unless somebody can link me to a profile for the X52Pro that works for FC2, and not a DCS title... Anybody?) Pok.

That was a good idea, hsth, but that didn't work, either.

That's right, Konalov. So you should be? I thought you should be. No, I always start looking at an AWACS plane, and can cycle to different planes using F2. F1 doesn't work anywhere.

For the first of all, FC2, patched. For the second of all, I've followed it. I suspect that the download was corrupted, twice. The download page shows the MD5, which I suppose is a checksum? How do you check your files against the MD5?

it doesn't work.

I'm hoping I'm just an idiot noob, but I don't have a manual, and I've looked everywhere. What ever mission/quickstart/campaign I start, I can watch the planes, and cycle between them. I can't fly them, though. When I press escape, I get "ONTROL", "RCVR", "QUIT", and "CANCEL". The "ONTROL" button doesn't do anything, which is my best guess as to how to get in to fly the plane. It's like the whole game is an interactive movie. What's the problem with me/the game? Thanks.:cry: :helpsmilie:

Hi, guys, I've visited once or twice, but just registered for the forum now. I hope this isn't common knowledge, but I had to really look. I just got a decent throttle/stick for Christmas, so it's time to get this game. No stores have games anymore; no Steam; no Impulse. After discovering that Ubisoft was their publisher, I dug in their website. You can download vanilla Lock on at Ubisoft's online store at: http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubina/en_US/pd/productID.180159900/sac.true Hope this helps somebody. Cheers.
