Hello, I bought FC2 English version from lockon.ru website, installed it and activated it but it crashes. I can't see the error message in the Windows error textbox message. Where can I see the error log file? What should I do? The installation runned fine, so it should work. I have Lock-On Modern Air Combat installed, not FC1.

Hello, Last day I was able to shoot down a Huey with my Ka-50 and only using cannon in "Aircraft mode" and using the helmet mounted device. I first locked on the heli using ther Shkval...It's quite hard at the beginning, but if the heli flues straight ahead it's not that hard... I was wondering if my bullets could follow the enemy helo path, and it did... However I could not shoot it down with rockets, or I would have to anticipate the heli path, and the Ka-50 was not built for that purpose... I wonder if you have any advice regarding shooting down enemy aircraft and helicopters at low altitudes and how to shoot enemy AA "under" the Ka-50 (for example when flying at high altitude and the enemy heli/aircraft is flying very low)...Is it hard to shoot down fast flying planes (like the Su-25 or even jet fighters?) As long as the plane is locked using the Shkval... Also, please don't say I'm crazy, but I thought about this in order to avoid enemy missiles...Loop turn (only above 150 meters or crash possible)... The enemy missiles can't follow the Ka-50 is high g acrobatics like that... Finally, I saw a great video on the net of an emergency training heli landing ( with collective at idle). I think it was with a Robinson. The pilot was at 1500 feet and put collective at idle: He then went into a 360 rudder turn left while going down and the guy was over the airfield! I had never seen this before.Isn't that dangerous? The heli was losing height quickly and could have gone into a spin/stall very easily..I guess US helo pilots use this in Iraq to avoid enemy ground fire and to land at dangerous airbases exposed to ground AA/fire... I know that aircraft pilots take up very sharply in Iraq to avoid ground fire,and land at very steep angles/speed too, so I guess heli pilots might do the same....

B-52 N(atomic) available in FC2?? Hello, Now we can pilot the B-52H, but will we be able to drop atomic bombs with a B-52N or another Russian strategic bomber like in Il-2 Sturmovik 1946? That would be fun, but somewhat of limited interest in the longrun (dogfights are more fun)... Also concerning the BAE Harrier...Is it VTOL? Can we do VTOl in FC2 and if yes how to change the engine thrust vector? Also it would be nice to have some vector thrust jets like the prototype X-planes and others....

Incredible MI24 video!!Keep them coming!

EECH in abandonware Hello, Isn't this game in abandonware for PC now ? Usually PC games older than 10 years fall into abandonware but this is not mandatory...

Hello, Is it possible to load different keyboard key maps when launching Flaming Cliffs? For example: I would like one keyboard setting for doing 'voltige" and another for standard aerial combat. I know somebody that uses 2 joysticks for the same game: one for doing normal combat and another just for "voltige"..;But he uses his joystick buttons to do that. I'm asking for software mapping...Is there such a Lock-on utility (I heard LoPlug would be able to do this later maybe wuth modules?) I just have 1 basic Thrustmaster USB joystick with only 4 buttons, so I have to go to the Input section of FC to change key mapping everytime and it's quite frustrating. Cheers.
