I appreciate the assistance, folks! Thank you!!!

What is the command to rearm/refuel after landing? Thanks!

and if not, I hope BS has a feature where you can pan to the exterior of your plane as you are shot down or dead. I don't like it how (in most servers anyway), upon getting killed you are taken to the map and unable to see who or what shot you and from where. The "RCVR" tab stands for recover right, and it's the only way to go right back to an online match, correct?

Having made the mistake of friendly fire once so far in online play, I immediately sensed the importance of figuring out how to establish friend from foe using the F-15's avionics. I have read the manual and come away with the following suggestions as to how this is done and I also have some accompanying questions: 1. It can be done using the TEWS, but this can be unhelpful as oftentimes enemies are not designated with the signature diamond identifier, particularly because of ECM jammers. I recall seing not a diamond, but a strage semi-circle accompanying a possible target, but I'm not sure how that factors into target ID...obviously diamond is enemy, but I often get a semi-circle in online play. 2. Using the VSD under LRS mode, placing it on a possible target, and getting a reading as to the nature of the plane...this can be usually effective, but given the enormous number of nationalities available in online play, it can be confusing to remember which side a particular aircraft is on. 3. Using the VSD under TWS mode, which is probably the most helpful, as friendlies are identified as circular blips, while prospective enemies are tagged as such, and the mode offers the enhancement of firing at multiple targets. 4. The automated HoJ mode, and this is where the system detects that another plane is using ECM, and this is where communication is going to be key. Using either AWACS (if nobody online speaks your language), teamspeak, or online chat, you need to see if your own mates are using ECM, and if so to proceed with caution. I'd appreciate it if someone would give me the key command to contact the AWACS aircraft, and thanks for that one! Also, I'd appreciate it if someone would tell me how to activate the ECM jammer on the F-15, and thanks again. Ok, so those things said, do I appear to be on the right track with this analysis? Is this the best way to go about IDing friendlies or enemies in online play?

in order to get that to work after install, does one have to use LOMAN to make it work, or is it automatically in the game?

so how do I uninstall the model without having to re-install Lock On? what are the instructions for completing the uninstall.

so I first installed the AB/cone textures and then installed Walmi's mod, and it works well and the new ab looks great, but the problem is that the engines in my F-15 are now showing as being just a blotch of gray on the inside with no turbines or anything like that. is this normal, or should I reapply the ab/cone textures in order to get turbine textures back?

YUP! YOU GUYS ROCK! now if i could please just get the start engine key sequence...i would've thought that "start engine" wouldve worked....

please provide this, as the engine start and power up keys don't seem to be doing much for me. AS NOOB AS IT GETS!!!

woops. my bad. this was the entire issue. i'm such an idiot n00b.

How should I best apply the 1.12a patch so as to avoid being asked for a serial number? Perhaps I'm downloading the wrong patch here? It's the ENGWEB patch from ED. I don't think I should be downloading the gold one, but maybe so as it is not an online download; in fact that could be the problem I DO NOT know.

I mean is there any solution to it asking for the 1.12a serial number? I guess my best option is to return the disc and get my money back and then just download it online. Does the online version screw up like this after you apply 1.12a?

I never attempted to run the original LOMAC copy and have the CD verified via starforce. So I put the disc in and let it autorun for the original LOMAC version, I clicked "Play" and the starforce dialog box came up, confirmed the disc and asked for a restart. It then restarted, and I attempted to play with the LOMAC disc in. Then starforce comes up and requests the FC disc. I put that in and BINGO! It works to perfection. So then I run and install the 1.12a patch and SONOFABITCH! if it doesn't start asking for a serial number after that!!! What in the hell do I do now? It asks for a serial for both sets of discs. I guess I'll just return the Flaming Cliffs disc.

SONOFABITCH. tried the LOMAC cd and still no dice. reinstall it all?

ok well I'm not sure it's invalid or not; this is the first time I have started up the game, and it asks for a serial.

you have GOT to be kidding me!

ok this is it here: The ED webpage has it listed, but there's no serial number on their packaging or on the discs to my knowledge.

this is not LOCKON GOLD, this is the FLAMING CLIFFS unoffficial ADD-ON physical disc form. I purchased it from JR.com, because I wanted the game in physical form in the event of reinstalls and so forth. so am I screwed here with no recourse?

ok, so where do I go about getting a replacement disc? just take the game back to JR, get a refund and download the patch online?

oh what in the hell! this is not going to work now!??? WTF. surely I can contact somebody about getting a working serial number. unreal.

no, this is LOMAC original + FC disk. the FC disk installation keeps asking me for the serial number. this is not good.

haha! so it's ok then, no serial needed?

So my package FINALLY arrived today from gogamer.com, containing LOMAC the original. I install it, then install my LO:FC disc I ordered from http://www.jr.com; I apply the 1.12a patch, and BAM! I get hit with the StarForce serial number. I then look around for a number, and the CD case DOES NOT contain a number anywhere, and so now I guess I'm basically screwed, delayed from playing this game until I get in touch with the right person, which probably won't be until Monday. Does anybody know what I should do, or who I should contact regarding getting a working serial number for my physical copy of LOFC?

sonofabitch this is horribly frustrating. what should I do now? who should I contact about getting a working serial number?

I didn't download it, I purchased the Physical Disc form from JR.com...I have no serial number and apparently I cannot play the game until I get one. Fabulous.
