Played LOMAC a bit and still own it. Been thinking about loading it up just for a few quick flights here and there, it does not take me long before I just get to irritated at it. The ineffectiveness of the radar and AMRAAMs bug me a bit, but really it's the campaign that I end up not being able to stand. LOMAC is best for eye candy really, man is it a sexy looking game.

Sorry, I'm an avid Falcon fan myself. Not only is Falcon 4.0 (and AF) more realistic than LOMAC but the fully dynamic campaigns are where Falcon really shines. LOMAC is looking quite cool though the more then work on it, and in all honestly I last played nearly 3 years ago. I even heard that they have an F-16 now you can fly ... :o

Saitek's X-45 and X-52 are good sticks for the money, I'm a bit of an addict and have a Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar. I really do highly recommend it though, I have nearly 100 commands assigned to mine :)

Ive played the campaign, I only have the orig version, not the flamming cliffs version. I think the F16 is a community made mod?

I think its pretty good, but the radar can be really ineffective sometimes you can lock on and launch for 20miles and other times you dont get lock on till your 6 miles away.

I also played LOMAC, and still own it, but after playing some of the campaigns, I got "irritated" with it (yes, I think that's the best word). It's just partly about weird things like you mentioned, but the static campaign, the UI, the bugs, glitches, the unoptimized engine ... it just could (and should) have been a lot better.

If I'll want to fly some fixed wing aircraft in the near future I'll probably go for F4AF or an F4.0 community mod.
