Simbo Sim_123 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 When FC3 is released (not to distant we hope !) quite a few people ,my self included, do not have FC2 installed.I did until I upgraded to Win 7 then the installation problems started - Starforce drivers for Win 7 being the main one so will there be a work around to install FC2 with out going back to 1 Install Lockon 2 Patch lockon 3 Install FC2 Any one know or have any ideas ? There are so many down loadable versions, so which is the best way to install FC2 ? Many thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 You do not need to have a working installation of LOMAC. You just need it installed on the PC somewhere. So you do not need item 2 in your list. Installing FC2 should also do fine with just item 1 covered.

xjiks Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 You don't need to have FC2 in order to install FC3 All you need is the old "lomac" installed somewhere even if you don't run it L'important n'est pas de tuer, mais de survivre.

Azrayen Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 In addition, IIRC the "Starforce drivers for Win 7" issue was related to FC1 disk version only. As FC1 is not needed (nor FC2) to install FC3, you should be OK ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 OK! I thought maby he would like to enjoy FC2 for the next few months until FC3 is released :doh: My DCS Tools: Quick Airfield information , Better trim with the X52 Pro , Tacview Glideslopes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
