Nope, it is self-contained and doesn't require a previous Lock On installation to run. It's after all not only a preview for the addon, but also an updated demo for those who've never tried it.

FINALLY! I'm downloading from http://www.lockon.ru! With a whopping 15 KB/SEC download speed (estimated download time: 5 hours 18 minutes…) with my ADSL connection…

Yawn… have to put the kids too bed… open that bottle of red wine… and wait… Zzzz… Coffee…

I just played it a bit, was REALLY dissapointed they did'nt let us see or fly the T, even for say 2 mins..I just wanted to see if my system can handle the detail they put into it, is'nt that the purpose of a demo? I'll still buy it when it comes out but I'll play normal lock on, was'nt really worth downloading IMHO?

I assume he means fly the Su-25T.

To me, that implies that the Su-25T is not flyable in the demo. If that is case, there is only one appropriate response:


Can someone confirm whether or not the Su-25T is flyable in the 1.1 demo?

I'll confirm, it is NOT flyable, you get the original Su25 and the A10..having got over my initial dissapointment of that though, the new flight model is GREAT, I really love how it feels and Im no expert on it as a casual lock on player..but it makes landing a bit more tricky (crush gear!) also when I ejected, they added some nice rocket motor fx, nice! sure theres alot of other things I hav'nt even mentioned. Just dont expect to see the new SU25

RE: TITLE OF THREAD

I suppose that depends on one's definition of "available".

More important: is it playable?

no multiplayer to demo the new netcode, none of the new radar stuff, su-25t not included. I guess the demo isn't trying to demonstrate the best selling points of FC. I just don't understand why ED would do it to themselves.


What WW2 Fighter pilots say about Angels and Airspeed:

"Nice job of getting down to the basics - love your choice of a cover!" Col. Clarence 'Bud' Anderson

"I have enjoyed reading angels and airspeed, it should prove good reading for all interested in combat tactics and their application related to the fluid air environment and state of technology in WWII years. All the best as you make it available." - Col. Charles McGee - Tuskegee Airman

NEVER ENGAGE STUPID.

Except for the AFM. But yeah, it certainly is weird. Of course, ED can't just put everyhting in there, either - they have to sell some of this later. \:\)

Anyway, downloading now, 160-180 KB/s (I love bittorrent).

They coulda made it a time limited SU25T demo, it goes without saying most of us would buy it regardless but if they wanted to attract new customers perhaps? Still they tried

The demo is not necessarily aimed at people who are already familiar with Lock On. The Su-25's flight model, which is one of the main features of 1.1, is featured. I'm still not sure if FC will be released as a complete standalone product independent of the previous versions in the CIS countries, which is still the primary market - the demo would be representative for such a version, and not only for the pure addon parts.

Given that it contains exactly what is advertised, and comes for free, I find it hard to complain about it :p

What other flight sims or similar type of combat games have released a multiplayer demo?

I don't remember ever seeing one either. Only in FPS type games . . .

They don't. You buy the game and then it gets abandoned by the developer. F4 anyone? \:D
