Hyperlobby and Lomac getting them to work.

[MagpulOperator]

I am and old flight sim guy I used to fly F15 and F/A-18 on JCN and HL when it first came out.

 

1.I cant find a place to DL HL anylonger...It seems thier is no link on HLs site anylonger.

 

2.Lomac v 1.01 (which is what the disk installs) works fine but, When I try and load up Lomac FC, starforce informs me that I am not runing windows 95...no kidding lol. I also lost the box with my cd key so I may just buy it again. Can you just direct to drive it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTAM:P Please watch this thread Im sure I will have more questions getting this up and running.

 

 

 

My System is,

 

Windows 7 Pro x64

AMD Phenom X4 965 (on water)

Nvidia GTX 295 Co-op

8gb DDR 3 Corsair Dominator

Raid 0 Velociraptors 300gb

X52 Pro

If you're trying to install LO:FC1 in W7 then you need the Starforce update:

For Hyperlobby:

PD: if what you really have in mind is to play the just released LO:FC2 then you don't really need to install LO:FC, just regular LO. Also, HL doesen'0t work with LO:FC2.

[MagpulOperator]

Does Hl just work with LO? This is all there is on the HL dl page. http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=2

With LO and LO:FC. I see you have LockOn Gold, that already includes LO:FC, so it's also compatible with HL. I guess that version can be updated with the same Starforce file I linked you. Take a look at this:

I will probly just have to buy it again because I lost my cd key. Also what patch do I want for just LOMAC. Are thier other options then HL to play this game online?

I have the a slightly different copy of Lockon Gold by Evolved (I have the Shiny disks with the A10 engraved on them) and I can tell you that you do not have to buy the game again as this version works by checking the Flaming Cliffs disk once a week!

Well starforce keeps asking me for windows 95,98,xp... When I try and up date starforce it says no protection drivers found. This is why I have never played this game this starforce is a joke I paid full price back when it came out and have yet to spend one min actually playing the game due to copy protection keeping me the guy who bought it out. Its starforce 3.04

Try This:

 

I play FC 1.12b without any problem on Windows 7.

 

How to proceed?

 

- Disable User Access Control

- Install Lockon

- Install FC 1.1

- reboot

- install the patch 1.12b

- reboot

- start Lockon: you will get starforce driver error

- download and install latest starforce driver

- reboot

- start Lockon, it will work fine: now you can configure it (your graphics, joystick settings etc....

- if you want back full security, you can put User Access Control back on

 

There is one thing, when UAC is enabled, your Lockon config files and missions will not be written into the program files folder, but under

 

c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics

 

So, if you have to edit graphics.cfg it is the file in that directory that you should modify. (Set View hiden files to on in Folder options to be able to see these folders).

 

So basically, you can run FC smoothly under Windows 7 with full security if you want! Performance is excellent.

Ill give it a try. Thanks

[MagpulOperator]

Followed the instructions to the letter, and when it went to verify the disk it is saying its not a liscensed disk... I got alot further in the process, now I have a new starforce window but it fails when checking disk.

 

As you can see it is a legit disk....

When you try to get the disk check, do you get a popup saying "driver install blocked due to incompatibility" or something like that? If so, that is the point to run the SFupdate file.

[MagpulOperator]

Which I did, and it hasnt come back up

[AustinN360]

Have you tried right Clicking on the icon on your desktop selecting properties and running as admin?

[MagpulOperator]

I appreciate your help I added rep! Heres the error I am getting. And yes Im running it as admin. And the stupid disk check deal starts like 25% of the way across and then just sits there. Until it fails. Is there any tech support at all for this game.

 

Should I just get FC 2 d2d? And forget all this nonsense? Can I get around all this by just getting BC2?

 

Also I am still missing a place to dl HL client. Are thier other ways to play this online?

I just bought FC2 so I guess Ill try that for now. Also where can I DL a LOMAC Manual?

 

Also looking for HD cockpits,and a listing of what squads are still active!

A link to the FC2 manual should be in your FC2 folder in the start menu.

Thanks slug! +1 now for the skins?
