Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 (FC3) is the next evolution of the Flaming Cliffs series. FC3 features the F-15C, A-10A, Su-27, Su-33, MiG-29A, MiG-29S, Su-25T, and Su-25. FC3 aircraft provide an easy learning curve for new players and focuses on a broad range of aircraft rather than a detailed single aircraft. FC3 adds a number of new features and improvements to previous versions of the Flaming Cliffs series. FC3 is a module of DCS: World, which makes it compatible with all other DCS: World titles like A-10C, Black Shark 2, P-51D, and Combined Arms.
Key Features of Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 include: A DCS World module that is compatible with DCS titles. New 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) cockpit and model for the F-15C. New F-15C campaign and single missions. Improved cockpit art for Russian aircraft. Improved landing dynamics. Improved flight dynamics for air-to-air missiles. Updated and improved HUDs and other cockpit systems. Resource Manager that adds logistics control to missions. Expanded theatre of operations map into eastern Georgia. Countless other improvements in the areas of the mission editor, special effects, new models, improved terrain detail and AI. Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 will require an installation of Lock On: Modern Air Combat or previous version Flaming Cliffs.

Can someone post their thoughts on it when they get chance please? Want to know whether it is just FC2 in DCS World as some of the cockpits I'd seen in screenshots looked like the bad ones in FC2... This makes me wonder even more: Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 will require an installation of Lock On: Modern Air Combat or previous version Flaming Cliffs. Why? Just an update?....

Because FC is part of the LO franchise which Ubi owns, therefore it is required that it is sold as an add-on to LO.

Got it, and playing..... found a bug already! refueling in the F-15... is impossible! as soon as the boom is called contact, aircraft rolls sharply to the left and unstopable... until it disconnects tried a few times now, looks like something in the modelling of the boom and the position that it makes contact on the aircraft... ahh well, back to practicing on the hog for now!

Playing as well- launched a quick mission in the Su-33. Took off, flew around a bit, landed- CTD. Also a few graphic oddities. Pics coming soon to the Photo subforum.

Is it correct that only the F-15 got a facelift?

Oh my god, not another pre-purchase Beta. For FC, please give me a break, how many years does it take to get it to work right. FC3 should have been damn near perfect by now. Well, That does it for me, I'm finally finished. I was holding on for FC3 but certainly not this after all these years.MY OPINION. Not wasting any more money on unfinished Projects. Relax. This is a beta, the game hasn't been released yet. If you want, you can wait for the official release, if not, well... Is it correct that only the F-15 got a facelift?
The F-15 gets a 3d 6-DOF cockpit. The other planes, the russian ones at least, are getting the Picardo's HD mods as official cockpits. I think.

Yep- though there are definite differences between the Ricardo model from FC2 and this one- pics in the screenshot gallery.

DCS world is such a cluster%#&$ to install. They could not have come up with a worse system if they were being paid to.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It seems like some sort of bugged assist feature. Once you connect it begins to modulate the throttles automatically until disconnect. While searching for an option to disable this "feature" I noticed that there is only 1 tab under Options/Special: the Ka50. The P-51 rudder assist tab is gone.

I will say that while the F-15 does look nice from the inside and sounds awesome from the outside, FC3 is EXACTLY what you are expecting: FC2 with a nice pit flying in the improved DCS world. If you buy this on curiosity you will struggle to find a substantial difference. The F-15 flies exactly the same except that you can now land on one wheel. The new missile behavior--perhaps the coolest new feature--can easily be observed within World without buying FC3. The only reason to buy this is so that when your A-10C gets shotdown in a MP server, you can grab a F-15 and extract some revenge. That's really it.

Surely you play FC series for more reason than refueling the F15? Rather narrow perspective do you not think ;-) Mizzy (Ex Beta Tester 'Black Shark' 'Flaming Cliffs 2')
