gear_monkey Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Is it possible to install Flaming Cliffs as normal but keep a copy of 1.02 as well and play both on same hard-drive? I made a copy of my Lomac 1.02 game files before installing FC hoping I could do this. Thanks!

dogtoes Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Bump for some (detailed) instructions on this. When I try to manually install LOMAC with a version (v1.02 or v1.1) already installed on my system...it just wants to "repair" the current install. Some of us still have wingmen who have not yet (or not going to) purchase Flaming Cliffs.

dogtoes Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 WooT! A-ha! I've got it! Hopefully you've saved your older folders with Lock On v1.02. I put mine on a DVD, did the v1.1 install thing, and then reinstalled the v1.02 folders to another location. But then if you hit the LockOn.exe, you just get a runtime error. Here is what you do: (assuming you have backed up and reinstalled the v1.02 folders) double click on the "lockon" batch file in the v1.02 \Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On folder. A DOS window will flash for a second and v1.02 will load and play! After quitting that, just create a shortcut on the desktop to the Lock On.exe in that folder. That's it! Works great! I now can play v1.1 or v1.02! Thanks to Alfa for giving me the idea! Hope this works for you! -Chris Alienware P4 3.0 GHz 800 MHz FSB | WinXP Pro SP2 | 2 GB PC3200 | ATI X850 256 MB with XT PE BIOS | Saitek X52 | TrackIR 3 Pro with Vector Expansion | Voice Buddy v3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Yes dogtoes. All i did was making a copy of the 1.02 into a new directory and redirected a 1.02 shortcut to lockon.bat! Works like a charm. BTW that procedure was already expalined somwhere on this forum!

EvilBivol-1 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 So what if I've already uninstalled 1.02 without any back ups? - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Kurr Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 So what if I've already uninstalled 1.02 without any back ups? Just re-install 1.02, create a backup, uninstall, install 1.0, install 1.1, and you're off. (Unless you have already installed 1.1, then this may cost you an extra activation) Dutch Flanker Display Team | LLTM 2010 Tiger Spirit Award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiskeyRomeo Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Which folder is this file in and what name is it? It's the base Lock On folder and the name is lockon.bat -all lower case letters- located right next to the LOCKON.EXE. If you're not seeing the .bat part of the file name its because your File Manager isn't setup to show the last part of the file name. If you hover over the file it should tell you its a "MS DOS Batch File" type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
