td922 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I was wondering if I needed to buy Flaming Cliffs 1 before I buy Flaming Cliffs 2. I just want to make sure if I do or not
kingpinda Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) You need to own Lock On modern air combat to update to Flaming Cliffs 1. You need Flaming Cliffs 1 to update to Flaming Cliffs 2 BUT!!!!!! Flaming Cliffs 3 is DRM free! (No Ubisoft meddling) as of a year now or so. So you can skip everything and just buy Flaming Cliffs 3 on DCS World. Maybe wait for a discount. I got it for 14 dollars I believe. Edited August 6, 2015 by kingpinda
td922 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 yea my pc isn't so great and cant run dcs that well though. So I guess I need to buy both FC1 and FC2 thanks.
cichlidfan Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 You do not need FC1 to use FC2. You DO need the original Lock On Modern Air Combat to use FC2. Lockon Platinum is a package that contains both Lock On and FC2. http://www.amazon.com/Lock-Platinum-Pc/dp/B003UEREBQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438874696&sr=8-1&keywords=Lockon+platinum ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Python Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Just get FC3 and turn the detail down a notch. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

kingpinda Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 yea my pc isn't so great and cant run dcs that well though. So I guess I need to buy both FC1 and FC2 thanks. Have you tried the free planes in DCS World? With detail down your computer is still to slow?
td922 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Posted August 7, 2015 yea ive turned details down and its just choppy kinda annoying
AtaliaA1 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 yea ive turned details down and its just choppy kinda annoying What are your system Specs.? I do assume from what U said U are aware of the requirements but wanted to give it a try on your system anyway. I am just curious. This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

CAG001 Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 I have Lockon Platinum... It includes Lockon and FC2... It doesn't say anything about needing FC1 to install FC2 in the manual. Just to follow the install instructions...
juan Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Tengo el CD de FC2 y a la hora de instalarlo no me reconoce el número de serie que viene en la caja. Agradecería que alguien me indicara cual puede ser el problema y la forma de solucionarlo. Muchas gracias.
Mimes Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Tengo el CD de FC2 y a la hora de instalarlo no me reconoce el número de serie que viene en la caja. Agradecería que alguien me indicara cual puede ser el problema y la forma de solucionarlo. Muchas gracias. I have the FC2 CD and at the time of installation it does not recognize me the serial number that comes in the box. I would appreciate someone telling me what the problem may be and how to solve it. Thank you. 1. You have to install either LOMAC or Flaming Cliffs 1 before Flaming Cliffs 2. 2. If you did meet prerequisites, does FC2 installs but does not activate or it just does not install at all? If the latter, I think you may be typing in serial number incorrectly. Kind regards, Mimes "Joined forum in 2004 but flying Flanker since 1995 :o)"
