gigabyte Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 I have been a long time fan and really enjoy all of the titles from the first time I crashed & burned with LOMAC...lol You folks produce such amazing work and I am very grateful for all the enjoyment I have had with the series. My question is this, I am quite interested in DCS World (amazing idea BTW) and I am in the process of downloading now. The problem I believe I may have is the original LOMAC, for the life of me I am unable to find my original LOMAC disk, will I be able to install DCS World and the Flaming Cliffs 2 module (download version) without that disk? I should mention I have LOMAC, DCS Flaming Cliffs 2, DCS Blackshark 1 & 2 and DCS A10C all installed and functioning fine and I fully understand I will need to reinstall over the fresh install of DCS World. I will gladly purchase another copy of LOMAC if required but if I can install the Flaming Cliffs modules without it that would be easier and faster for me.
EtherealN Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 FC2 is not a DCS World module, it is standalone and yes, it requires LOMAC to be present. (Contractual obligation to Ubisoft.) Other DCS Modules (A-10C, BS2, P-51D, CA) do not require LOMAC. FC3, which will be a DCS World module, will also require LOMAC to be present on the system during installation.

cichlidfan Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Also, DCS World itself does not require anything as it is free to play (including the Su-25T).

gigabyte Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks so much, I should have realized but it really did not occur to me that FC2 was not part of the DCS series. My download should be complete by now so I will start with Blackshark and see how I make out. This does bring another question to mind though, is it possible to install DCS World, Blackshark, and A10C on a different drive on the same system and keep the original install as a separate stand alone game?
BigfootMSR Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 World installs separately from any standalone versions you may have installed on your computer.
