last night i completed my first training mission, take off/taxi.

Is starting up the engines in lomac:fc that easy? all what the training video told me to do is alt-home and shift-home, etc.... coming from Black Shark, starting the engines in lomac was a breeze!!

Yep, LOMAC and FC do not have the detailed engine start-up procedures that are modelled in Black Shark.

I am going to reinstall LOMAC, is BS still considered an add on and will it patch up my LOMAC? I don't plan on installing FC. I don't want to get into a debate here on it, but I think it bricked my CD/DVD drive. It could have just been a bad timing thing, but I am not taking any chances.

Just bought a used copy of LOMAC Gold and LOMAC worked great until I installed Flaming Cliffs and then the craptastic Starforce told me it would not work unless I was using one of the older OS. Funny thing is I rebooted and all my good sense stuff after installing and even changed the permissions and compatibility to allow it to run on the settings per Starforce BEFORE attempting to run the program.

I just uninstalled it and will hope like hell that it didn't fry my Samsung DVD drive.

I have LOMAC and FC2.

I'm running it on a new Win7 machine with plenty of graphics power and PC capacity. I have a Radeon HD6790 with a gig of vram.

I use a CyborgX USB joystick.

I can not get the weapons to function. The "flying" functions work fine ... but the weapons buttons do not.

Here's the conundrum ... everything works fine with IL2 Sturmovich. I play Pacific fighers no problem and IL2... no problem.

Everything works great except with LockOn and Flaming Clifts the weapons don't work.
