DocSigma Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I just got back into flight sims. Used to really play the hell out of F4, IL2, and Lock-on. I am in the process of putting together a new rig and plan on running Win7 64bit. I was just going to pick up a copy of Lock-on from ebay or something, and download FC, and patch it to the latest 1.12b version. Is this an okay way about going about it, or should I just wait to find a copy of Lockon Gold and go from there? I live in the US and I heard that US copies of Lock-on gold were hit or miss. Also, I use a Cougar for my HOTAS, but I've noticed that cougar world is down and don't have the latest drivers or CCP or FSSP for the HOTAS. Would anybody know of an alternate site to find the most updated software for the Cougar? I went to Thrustmasters site and they have drives for Vista64 and the CCP and FSSP software as well, but am not sure if whats on the thrustmaster site is the latest versions. Any help would be great.

Chillspider Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Digital download is a good way to go thats how i got my DCS Blackshark and Flaming Cliffs and they are great . I just took the files and burned to disk with a text file that has CD Key. Dont know much about the cougar. I have 64 bit vista and it runs fine. I have free upgrade to Win7 but I'm gonna wait for 1st service pack.

DocSigma Posted December 4, 2009 Author Posted December 4, 2009 Thanks for the reply. That is what I decided to do. I purchased a hardcopy of DCSBS and I re-purchased an inexpensive copy of lomac, and I will download FC digitally. I know I have to patch everything once installed using the 1.12b patch, but i'm not sure if I have to worry about starforce.
