I just found the following article about the new DRM that Ubisoft plans to implement: http://www.electronictheatre.co.uk/index.php/pc/pc-news/4009-ubisoft-reveal-pc-online-services-platform-details Ubi published LOMAC, no? Will this new DRM be in FC 2.0? I dearly hope not; I'm boycotting every game that uses this system. Thanks to anyone who knows.

So, I attempted to land the MiG-29 on a road near a river, and had a difficult time controlling it. I ended up landing too hard, crushing my gear, and skidding onto my belly. The road took a turn and I continued skidding right into a river. Much to my surprise, I sent sparks flying over the water and came to a floating rest at a somewhat scenic location.

I'm using a laptop and Dox's 182.46 is the first driver with which LOMAC doesn't crash after 20-40 minutes of gameplay. I'm probably going to try out his 185.68 shortly, but 182.46 is definitely stable.

May I ask what resolution you're playing at? I've got all details on the plane set to high, and it still looks a lot more jagged than yours. Or are all of those pics photoshopped?

Haha, if you go to that livejournal site and scroll down, one of the pictures near the bottom is of a military vehicle with a tower on it. Above it, the caption reads: Есть предположения, для чего эта штука с трубой? Translated: Does anyone have any idea what this joke with a tube is for?

In one of the comments, it says its a cut-and-paste of a Russian hind getting it by a Chechen missile. Just bringing it up.

I had the same problem when installing my copy of FC. I ended up uninstalling everything, deleting the entire LOMAC direcory, and installing LOmac - LOMAC FC - 1.12a into a new directory in a different location. That fixed it for me.

Thanks again for the help! Much appreciated.

Wow, thanks for all the replies! I haven't tried lowering flaps; I guess that should have been the first think I thought of. I've been kind of cautious with the rudder; the first time I used it I sent her into a spin that I couldn't recover from. I'll try again and see if I can get it worked in. On a side note, when arming a Su-33 with the Kh-41, how does one fire it? I tried to press both "enter" and "space" and neither resulted in a launch. There's no training mission for anti-ship; could someone give me a tip?

Sorry to make two threads so close together; I did a search though and couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm trying to fly the new frog and it handles nothing like the old one. At high speeds it's virtually unturnable; I'll bank about 60 degrees and it'll all of a sudden reverse the direction of the bank and roll until it's inverted. At lower speeds it banks too much and I end up spinning out. I've tried to get the hang of the flight model but it's just not coming to me; the training missions aren't helping. Is there a way to flight it so that it banks normally? Also, I seem to be having trouble cycling weapons. In the A2G training mission, the demonstrator is able to activate all A2G weapons by pressing the "cycle weapons" key and turning on the Shkval. When I try it on the Su-25T quickstart mission, I am only able to toggle cannon and rockets. Am I missing a step? Thanks; I'm trying to learn the game but as you can tell I'm having mixed success!

Ah wow. Somehow, although I spent a few hours browsing that forum, I completely missed that thread. Thank you for your help!

I just purchased Lock On: Flaming Cliffs from Lockon.co.uk. I tried to install the program; however, as soon as the files began extracting, the following message popped up: “Error occurred during installation. Error code is 3. Setup is not completed.” I tried both running the installer as administrator and moving the setup file into the same folder as my Lock On installation, none of which helped the issue. I’m running Windows Vista Home Premium x64. Does anyone have an idea why this error is occurring?

Yes, I have the music on. I'm looking to find out what the word is. I'm looking to move the target designator in Vertical Scan Mode (when you press "3" by default settings). When I go into BVR mode, I can move the target designator left, right, up, and down with the ,/;. keys. I thought you could do the same for the VSM bar but no luck. Thanks for all of the help! Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong in the mission editor? I really want to create my own scenario but the run time errors are getting in the way :(.

Hi all. I'm new here and I have a few questions about the game: 1: About 30 seconds into the main menu screen, I hear the following conversation: "popal, popal, molodets...static...(some word, same word) nu!" What is the word? It sounds like either pidzhak, which doesn't really sound relevant, or another word which is pretty offensive but also doesn't seem relevant. Can anyone tell me what it is? 2: Does how come flying in the cockpit kills my FPS when compared to external view? At first I thought it was the angle of the view, and that I had a larger viewing distance when in the cockpit. Even when I am looking straight ahead from behind the airplane, it seems like I get more frames than when I'm in the cockpit. 3: When refueling at an airbase/carrier, do you have to taxi near a fuel truck in order to refuel or can one do it from anywhere? 4: What control in the Input Options screen corresponds to moving the Vertical Scan bar left and right? I thought it was either target designator or scan zone but neither one seems to work. 5: How do you add objects to the mission editor? I chose the coalitions, and then pressed "add new aircraft". I then named the flight, but when I tried to click the ">" arrow to make it flight 1 out of 1, it wouldn't respond. I clicked into the number field and changed it to "1" manually, but when I clicked out the game froze and then crashed with a runtime error. Am I doing something wrong? 6: Is the flight model of the Su-25 accurately modeled? I'm able to execute loops and I feel like that shouldn't be the case with that aircraft. 7: Is there any point in buying Flaming Cliffs if you don't have too much interest in the Su-39? Thanks for the help, Dan
