CrowmanUK Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I got the straight 1.00 to 1.02 patch mate, some forums mentioned a problem if you patch to 1.01 then on to 1.02 http://www.lo-mac.com/updates.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetforce Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yes mate i saw that, it looks very nice.. http://www.lockon.ru/index.php?end_pos=982...roducts〈=en ← He he, Airwolf, move over. When Gordo Viper was here we were looking for the new LOMAC Gold like the one I purchased and it was impossible to find as well unless it was ordered.

squad_e Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I like the look & physics of this game... But i will be a total noob to it, as i never play flight sims.. This looks awesome.. Do you need a top end joystick or a normal one?.. The last time i used a joystick was with my AMIGA 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 A Saitek Evo or Cyborg would be fine. A flight stick would be even better as you would have more buttons to play with for the commands you will use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connie lingus Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I used a Saitek Evo all through Pacific Fighters merged version. But as soon as I got LOMAC and tried switching from one aircraft to another, I saw the need for some sort of HOTAS, and got a Saitek X45 mainly because I got it at half price, and because there are so many great user made profiles for it. One profile fits all the aircraft! You can get a factory reconditioned X45 for $39 plus $5 shipping at the Saitek site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saitek X45 If i even bought one, where would stick that thing?.. You can switch aircrafts?.. Like in GR?.. EDIT: This one seems ok Cyborg Evo Where will be a good place to buy one on the web?..

Suicide Commando Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) I seriosly need to pick-up a new joystick for LOMAC as well. Don't think my ancient Gravis Thunderbird analogue is gonna cut it. Edited January 23, 2006 by Suicide Commando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connie lingus Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I think you will find the Cyborg Evo is inadequate for LOMAC, as I did. You really need extra hat switches to operate the TDC for the radars and Air to Ground TV screens, just to mention one control among many. This is the reconditioned X45 I was mentioning for practically the same money as an Evo: http://store.yahoo.com/saitekusa/x45digjoyand1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Ledanek Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I posted same question in LOMAC.RU forum: Can you dumbdown this game, so I can just fly without getting shot down or blowing myself up. I barely get enough time to play, nor time for the tutorial. My attention span is getting shorter---maybe mid-life crisis symptoms I just want to fly and enjoy the scenery. The humming sounds relaxes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squad_e Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I looked at some prices of the game is like £4.00 proper cheap! .. But the equipment like joysticks are a bit pricey! ... @ cpl ledanek .. This aint as easy as BF2 u know ... I downloaded the demo for LOMAC, tried a level got owned as soon as it loaded! .. Got locked on .. then boom! .. This does seem very realistic though ... So many Controls! .. No wonder u need one of them phat joysticks! .. thanks for the PM connie lingus I seen that already.. I think this one suits me Saitek X45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebb Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 To be honest i only ever use about 5 or 6 keys during a game and 4 buttons on my joystick, and i'm sure you'll get a cheapish joystick somewhere.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake@War Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Lomac is at home waiting for me.... Played the demo, and it rock! Full version will be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connie lingus Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 You'll need to get the 1.1 Flaming Cliffs addon and 1.2 patch if you want to play online. Go to; http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/03-enh...ing-cliffs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake@War Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I thought Flaming Cliffs was free for download? If so, where can I DL it? The link you gave is to buy the boxed version. Also, I don't play online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connie lingus Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 It's only $18 and it also adds a load of sp missions and new planes including the Su25T(full weapon avionics). The 1.2 patch adds more. The link I gave you should have a download area, this is where I got mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connie lingus Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Actually i got mine from http://lockon.ru/ Also you can get the helicopter addon Black Shark when its released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
