Running quest 2 VR. Noticed that after about 3 - 5 minutes of hover/flight the cyclic stick was going crazy and I had no cyclic control of the heli. Removed Oculus touch controllers settings from axis bindings and the problem is gone. I think this is due to the controllers going into power save, but since I use HOTAS, just removed the bindings. Hope this helps someone. Rob

Bought it 45 minutes ago... Can't wait to fly this thing!

Here is the reply from Star Force: Unfortunately, at this moment protection system is not compatable with Windows 7. We are planning to make drivers update in approximately 2 months starting from Windows 7 Beta 1 release. Sorry for the inconveniences Sounds like they intend on doing something which is encouraging.:) I'll update as I get any on this. BTW - With the exception of a couple of odd behaviours in I.E. 8, Win 7 is pretty darn cool. If you have a spare machine or don't mind messing with your main pc and reloading it, you should give it a try. L8er, Rob

Sure did PCat. I'm a pc tech by day and an aircraft nut the rest of the time. Tried Compatibility mode on both the main Loc On exe and the Protect.exe that StarForce uses. I found a post on a forum stating that I could play Lock on if I installed the 1.01 - 1.02? patch over the Flaming Cliffs 1.12B. It works but I'm not sure HyperLobby will pass it for multiplay. I've recieved a reply from Star Force on the issue, but they sent me a cookie cutter "try this" email that was written for Vista users to update thier version of Star Force Protection. I have replied explaining "again" that the problem is specific to Windows 7 because it does not recognize Windows 7 as a compatible version of windows. I'll keep everyone up to speed as things go, but with Win 7 being beta I'm not sure how fast they will move on it. Thanks, Rob

Just wanted to let anyone considering the Windows 7 beta know that Star Force does not recognize the new O.S. and states that it does not meet the minimum requirements for Lock On Flaming Cliffs. I have sent an email and error log to Star Force to inform them. Rob
