FC is worth every penny. Online play is a big plus and you have another plane to fly. I believe all the planes' FMs have been tweaked a bit, the '25 and '25T have advanced flight models, missile behavior has been changed, and the are more mission editor static objects...

 

... among MANY other improvements too lengthy to list here.

 

Aero out

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

It is worth buying. Simple milestone since oryginal 1.02. Much more stabile, even is little faster and new aircraft with AFM. Simple u have to have it :D

Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D

FC has its problems but its overall better game. For online gaming FC is mandatory.

A2A combat is much less frustrating in 1.02. Added errors in missile modelling, specifically lack of chaff rejection, can make what are very high PK shots miss repeatedly. On the other hand, the FM of the Su-25T is probably the best flight model in the history of flight sims. As far as stability, FC is a step up from 1.02.

If You own english version of LOMAC already You need to download Flaming Cliffs addon (as You write - 14.95$) and 1.12b patch (for free) and season pack (for free). That's it. http://www.lockon.co.uk/ is correct source or You can order CD-box version (also needs LOMAC base) from here. There are russian stand-alone CD-box versions available somewhere.

Hope this clears up any confusing

 

We know you have the original Lock On, which is 1.00

(you don't need to install any patch after that when you purchase FC)

 

FC is version 1.1

You have two choices

1.) get the download version

2.) or the cd version (personally I prefer the cd version because I didn't want to deal with the activations that came with the download version, I just have to put in the cd once a week- of course, this is up to your preference)

 

After you get FC, just simply install the latest patch 1.12a (or 1.12b if you are running on vista), and that's it

 

So recap:

1.00 Original

1.1 Flaming Cliffs

1.12a patch

Since you have 1.02:

 

1 Get 1.1b (the current version of FC)

2 If you wish to be completely up to date and HL server compatible, download the 1.12b patch.

 

Make SURE you get the right patch for the version of FC you buy. There is a different patch for the CD version and the download version. This is because StarForce is different on those two versions.

Here's my honest ;) opinion

 

Flaming Cliffs is surely worth getting as it has many improvements over original Lock On. Reagarding download or CD version I believe it is more convinient getting downloaded version IF you don't do many PC upgrades or frequent OS reinstalls (as some of us do :D). Even if you do OS reinstall there is utility (on ED's website) to save registry keys so you don't need to use new activation key (I've been using this many times and has been good option for me for a few years I have had Flaming Cliffs installed).

 

If you want to go on the safe side and never ever want to run out of activation keys do get CD version.

 

After you get Flaming Cliffs (download or CD version) download Seasons Pack and Patch 1.12B and you're set. Once you get familiar with the game you can go to www.lockonfiles.com and get lots of mods that will improve game look in many aspects, some of these mods will improve game performance also.
