Raylon Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Hey guys, I'm a newbie to the current gen of flight sims. I used to play CFS2 and CFS3 and a little IL-2. Would like to hop into FC2 and start that steep learning curve. Would this copy of Lock-On be enough to be eligible to get FC2 from the online store? Amazon Link Thanks for the help.
Renato71 Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Hi, Yes, it will do, but you can find even cheaper packages on ebay, less then 5 USD, just search for "lock on" under video games, or "lock on modern air combat" I'm selling MiG-21 activation key. Also selling Suncom F-15E Talon HOTAS with MIDI connectors, several sets. Contact via PM.
Raylon Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 Thanks, that's all I needed to know. I went ahead and got it because I can get free two day shipping so I can be flying on Tuesday. I can go ahead and purchase and download from the e-shop now correct? It just won't install till it see's Lock On installed?
Renato71 Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 purchase but do NOT try to install FC2 cos installer will then ask for FC1 as well. Something messed up in installer. Wait for LOMAC, install it first, then - and only then - install FC2. Good luck and have patience :) 1 I'm selling MiG-21 activation key.

Raylon Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 Once again, thanks for info. Is there somewhere to download manual for FC2? I went to the site but the download button simply sends me to home page with no download. Also, I have seen that the file in in the installation, but I would like to have it before then to print off.
Raylon Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 Bump, does anyone know where I can get a manual for FC2? I can't install yet and I need the manual by Wednesday. If you don't know where one is located online, PM me if you can email it to me.
71st_Mastiff Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 yes in your documents folder in FC2. Bump, does anyone know where I can get a manual for FC2?

Raylon Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 yes in your documents folder in FC2. Haha, thanks for the help but read what I wrote again.
71st_Mastiff Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I did install it!:smartass: its just a PDF any way you should be able to pull it off the dvd if you ISO it.

Raylon Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 I did install it!:smartass: Haha but I can't! It's a .exe file for me, I did the download, so I can't just open it up.
71st_Mastiff Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 it should be in the bin folder no ones going to give that up for free. so I would just wait untill you can get it.:thumbup::smilewink: We whole heartedly believe in pay to play.

I don't think you understand. I paid on the ED site, and downloaded the game. I downloaded two bin files and a setup.exe. I don't have LOMAC yet so I can't install FC2. I also can't open up a bin file, at least I don't know how. Piracy may happen, but I didn't pirate the game. Also, I am getting LOMAC tomorrow in the mail, but I will be leaving as soon as I get it, so I will not have time to install both games and then get the pdf. I am simply wanting the manual so I can print it off before I leave school campus. Is there something secret in this manual that no one wants to give it up without proof of game ownership?

Panzertard Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 The only one's who can say if this is okai or not is ED, please contact them at mailto:support@lockon.ru I think they may verify your purchase and choose to help you. Note, they still have a bit of queue in the mail - so it may take them a few days to respond. But we cannot distribute the files to you - that would be illegal for us to do so. :) The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
Raylon Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 I will do that but I think this is all rather silly. I can easily go and download the Black Shark manual, and I should be able to do that with FC2. Oh well. Still, if anyone wants to email me the little 10mb file, PM me.
EtherealN Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Yes, and this is most likely just a silly little oversight, but that does not change the fact that our license does not grant us redistribution rights. I'll check if this can be looked over as a possible tweak to the website though, thanks. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
Raylon Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 Well here is a question someone with the manual can answer. How much of a difference between the FC1 and FC2 manual is there? Will getting the first be completely different? Or will it still help?
EtherealN Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 It will still help.

coolts Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 The Manuals are about 90% identical. If you have the LOMAC manual as you say, then read that. Honestly, dont wait for the FC2.0 one, as apart from colour and some nice additions, (yes, I will be buying the printed one as well when / if it comes out), the content is the same. The smaller GUI manual on the other hand is new and mirrors the DCS one as FC now has the DCS-like front end. A weeks good reading in the Flight manual there, so get stuck in!
