Slazi Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Is there any possibility this won't require the 2003 game at any point in the future? For me this is a huge barrier. I kinda want FC3, but there's no way I'm gonna spend $30 for some old game I'm never gonna play. I'm guessing this is related to licensing? Is this a common feeling?

Kaiza Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yes it is related to licensing, and yep it is a common feeling. The modules that Wags mentioned in his newsletter are an attempt to get away from this requirement, but you will always have to have lockon for FC3.

Cnuke Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yes due to the license with ubisoft. You need Lomac only(lock on modern air combat). Have to install lomac and then install your module FC3. Then you can uninstall lomac. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1791823&postcount=222 Also you might find it boxed cheap in gamestore/musicstore bin's. Or second hand on the internet. I believe it doesn't need to cost more then 10$ for Lomac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=SCoRPioN= Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 You can try installing the Demo of the original Lock On first: http://download.cnet.com/Lock-On-Modern-Air-Combat/3000-2115_4-10228845.html My first computer and my ED collection: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I won FC1 in the original Lock On Tournament in 2005: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=8805 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winz Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The original Lock-on is available at my local game store for 7 euro, its part of a 'collection of classic PC Games' The Valley A-10C Version Revanche for FC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintifaxl Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The one thing bugging me about installing Lomac is the copy protection. Is it early Starforce or any other root kit like scheme?

Slazi Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yes. :thumbup: I have the added problem of being in Japan. I'd have to pay to import something. I got CA and P-51D in the sale, perhaps that's enough for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbaken Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I just got the digital download straight from Ubisoft this week for $9.99(us) and worked fine for me.

Rusty_M Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Good to know. Thanks for the heads-up. :) For further clarification, it's Flaming Cliffs (FC1) which has the old style Starforce protection. The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine! http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_the_robot https://www.youtube.com/user/RustyRobotGaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
