FC3 Disk which one?

[KaBoom]

I want to Fly the F-15c / FC3 in DCS World

 

Which is the cheapest option I can find lots of different lock on versions but no idea if half of them are expansions of if some base ones are too old or if I'm going to end up buying more than what I need.

 

It says it needs Lock on Modern air Combat but some Boxes only have Lock on Air Combat on the box.

 

Is Flaming Cliffs 2 needed?

 

Could I just buy the FC 2 download? That would mean not waiting two weeks for the box version.

FC3 requires one of the following before installation

 

-installed FC2 [requires installed FC1 or Lock On]

-installed FC1 [required installed Lock On]

-installed Lock On

 

The cheapest and easiest way to get FC3 if you have no previous FC's on your computer is to just get the original LOMAC and install it. You don't need to run or upgrade LOMAC either, just have it installed.

 

Then you will be allowed to install FC3 into DCS World.

 

I would avoid FC1 as the protection in that game has been known to cause issues, and it sounds like you don't have LOMAC anyway.

 

As far as different version of LOMAC, I think any will work. I forget what mine says on the box.

Right Ordered it from Amazon UK second hand for £9 including postage cost. Looked it up on Wikipedia its the same box cover as the Lock on Modern Air combat on there. Just got to wait till next month now before I can install FC 3 :/

 

Thanks for your help :)
