hitman Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 For the last 2 weeks I have been aggrivated to a point of pulling my hair out one by one tryin to not be the last dirty old man playing 1.02. So when I got this new computer, my first priority (aside from school) has been to locate a copy of LO-FC or its lesser equivalent Gold. I knew that alot of these stores around here carried them, or used to, back a few months ago. So I decided to start searching at Best Buy first. Best Buy proved to be extremely disappointing. Not only did I spend 130 bones on an x-52, but the only thing closest to LO-FC was a triple pack IL2, Pacific Fighters and LOMAC. I cried. Bastards....dumb, poor, stupid bastards. Waste my time will they?! :doh: So I realized no professional help could evolve from the Geek Squad so I took the hunt to Circuit City. Circuit City proved to be even more disappointing than Best Buy, and I say that because they also wanted 80 bucks for a keyboard that was most definately NOT worth 40. Purchased a copy of Stewie Griffin the Untold Story to appease my woes and asked the customer service representative if they would be able to order the thing for me. Of course not, so I asked "why are you here?" She looked like she needed a beer or 10 afterwards so I took the hunt to the local Game Stop located at the Citadel Mall. Feeling not so remorseful over the prior incident, I walk into the Game Stop and asked the clerk directly "Can you order a game for me?" He looked at me stupid and said "No." Much to our chagrin, he was right...LO-FC isnt made by anyone nowadays and my best choice was to order the thing online. This was my last choice here, since I exhausted everything looking for this..thing. So I decided to go to Amazon.com and found out something interesting: LO-FC is cheaper than LockOn GOLD! I shell out 19 bones for the game and 11 bucks for the rush delivery. My copy comes in early this week. The moral of the story is: Kevin be pissed, y0. I dont like waiting for stuff that I should have purchased 2 years ago. Im off to go drink my beer now.

Aeroscout Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Ya. I got really lucky when i found lockon GOLD at a local game stop. There was only one there. Other wise, I dont wast my time going out to stores. I just order online.

Kuky Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 so hey... Lock On Gold is actually Lock On + Flaming Cliffs ???? EDIT: oh crap... I didn't know this. I just did a quick google search and to my surprise it's got Su-25T as flyable... so it is LO+FC. Well I'm not surprised I didn't know this as I never needed to look for it as I downloaded Flaming Cliffs from Lockon.ru site as soon as it came out. But hey... good to know. I remeber seeing Lock On Gold in Electronics Boutique in Chatswood store (in Westfield shopping centre) in Sydney...

They own a very large mall here in the NY Metro Area , And guess what they're rebuilding that place as well.... The politicians and the community didn't want them to do it, but they paid someone off and started building anyway.... I don't actually go there that much any more, I prefer shopping at 34th st. or 5th or Madison Ave.'s in Manhattan.... :lol: ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR

hitman Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah...depending on how large the file size is and how much bandwidth is dedicated to the download it would probably take me a considerable amount of time...that and I dont care for the BS I might have to deal with on the keycodes. Ill consider it as a last resort in 1 week if my purchase is on backorder still.

Aeroscout Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Ya, sorry, hitman, you should have gotten FC, not GOLD. and GOLD is published by evolved games, not ubi. (Just as bad, if not worse) hope when you eventually get GOLD that it does hot have the defective FC disk. ;) DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
Meyvn Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I purchase my FC from gogamers.com (or gogamer.com? nevermind) They carry a lot rare sim games. Such as IL2 1946 which usually would not be found in any local stores.

hitman Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Hitman, show me proof of purchase (blur out your serial number on the screenshot) and I'll give you the link to the d/l version of FC. I have it up on my webserver. Rugg I just might do that...as soon as I get some problems worked out on my internet connection speed. Fuggin' Vista and its secretive release...no drivers for my network card. Late edit: Its unfugged now I can download once again...Now if I can see if I can do this without paypal...think thats how I ordered it from amazon.com...
