Something not working right? Can't figure out some aspect of the game?

Post your problem here.

But please note this well. I'm not asking for your complaints or frustrations. I only want to know what difficulty you are having...and not any additional editorial embellishment...so folks can figure out fixes.

Please include any pertinent info such as system specs as appropriate.

ONLY PROBLEM I've had so far is when I'm flying low the trees seem to "pop up" instead of already being there. My specs: P4 3.0, 1024 mb memory, ATI 9700 Pro
Game specs: 1024 by 768, 16 bit color, pretty much everyting set to medium.

AA at 4X
Catalyst 3.6

I run Win 98 with an NVidia card, 128 meg latest chip. I start the game and 9 times out of 10 I don't get the setup screen and if I do I still can't get the sim part to run. My video drivers are 45.23. I have had no problem running anything else. I'm also running an AMD 2600 on a board with VIA chipset.
All drivers are updated and LOMAC has been reinstalled about 6 times.
I have used every trick I can think of and still no luck!

First thing that should be done for any kind of problem with the setup screen, is shut off Zone Alarm or any other Firewall clients.

Try it if you're running one....

Sheesh, lose the Win98!

And my biggest Lomac problem... I can't find it anywhere! I guess California won't see it till next week.

the only problem I have had so far is changing the difficultly level from the default... nothing I click on that screen responds... of course that might be user error for that one, all the other screens working fine.

A7N8X mobo problem.

When you play MP, the other planes and missiles warp and jump all over the sky. The other players see you as smooth and ok.

If eveyone has an A7N8X then it's ok for everyone.

Apparently this is a known issue, wish I would have known before I bought the game. I either would have put off buying it, or bought another mobo before release.

Update to the latest drivers, think mine are 51. something..I think I saw someone post somewhere that helped.

And Vulgus, you are totally non-productive, please read Andy's post at the start of this topic! :rolleyes:

Hoot out!

In game sounds were there, but after a restart, they are gone. The GUI sounds are still there, as well as the normal sounds in the rest of my games. I have an Audigy 1 with the latest (5.12?) drivers and DX9.0b. In addition, my preferences keep changing from where I set them, one speicifcally is the CIV TRA. When I attempt to change the LO-MAC folder, as well any of the CONFIG files from READ-ONLY, it changes but reverts back to read only. Weird & wacky stuff.

BTW, I already deleted & reinstall, defragged & scanned.

I can't get my X45 stick working correctly...how to calibrate this...plane seems to nose into the ground and throttle settings messed up

happened on the demo also

also I have a lock when starting a quick fly with the A10...have to alt-tab out in order for the S key to start the mission...seems to "stick"

I loaded precog's SST X45 profile and that didn't helps either...

finally tomorrow I'll print out the key commands...Key card didn't come with mine...

grrr...

game crashes on mission exit sometimes.

that and the trackir bug.

I had my aircraft go transparent in external view and reappear when switching views again. Cant seem to reproduce the glitch again so not sure what caused it.

When i go to fly, everything in the aircraft is black, except the hud and a guage or two, also i checked the encyclopedia and all aircraft are black aswell...
Thanks for the help gents

Have had adifficult time getting the Options to stick.
1. Labels keep reappearing
2. Heat blurr doesnt always stay on
3. Loose the civ yes option

Setting up the Cougar has been no picnic especially for viewing with the Hat switch. Can not seem to get a smooth transition view with this. Not a lot of options for the stick in the radar modes.

Sound will disappear after getting outside view in the F15.

Serious frame rate reductions after being hit by missles

All settings are at medium
Running Asus A7N8X with ATI 9800 AMD 2800

Graphics at medium still getting FPS under 15

To make sure the options settings are saved, turn the read only attributes off for the lomac folder.

WinME, AMD 1Ghz, 512M RAM, GF4 Ti4400 128M, VIA-based mobo, latest drivers for the mobo and videocard, DirectX9 (off the LOMAC CD).

If the game loads then missions would not load from any position (fast builder, mission editor, main screen).
Two outcomes: either the load bar would reach 80-100% level and the game would lock up or
it would drop to desktop and if I try starting it again gives a message "lockon caused an error in " and that would lock up the computer.

Sometimes the game would give a white screen with the button names in green - lockon seems to choose randomly when to show that.

The game was installed onto a defragged drive - tried reinstalling several times. IL2FB runs fine, Hidden&Dangerous2 runs fine.

Oh and Lockon demo runs fine too.

I think I nailed the install problem. This is what I did:

1- Uninstall Demo & clean the directory of any remaining files.
2-Run Norton Win Doctor/Registry Sweep to get rid of any leftover registry entries from the Demo. (you can try any other registry cleaner).
3-Turn OFF Norton Anti Virus Auto Protect.
4-Install using a CD-ROM instead of my CD/RW.

Worked like a charm, and runs pretty smooth, nearly 30 FPS in-cockpit with default Medium settings @ 1024x768x32bit res and 4X FSAA and 8Xaniso.

My system Specs:
WINXP Pro with SP1 and DX 9.0b.
Athlon XP 2700
1 GB PC2700 RAM
ASUS A7N8X WITH NFORCE 3.13 DRVRS
ATI 9800PRO(128MB)with OMEGA 3.9
AUDIGY GAMER SOUNDCARD
X-45 HOTAS
ACER 40X CDROM AND PLEXTOR 40/12/40 CDRW

Flickering of the cursor. Can't seem to get rid of it.

UPDATE: try some Cat drivers < 3.8. I've downgraded to Omega 3.7s and problem went away.
