Great sim. Note it will not upgrade to Lock On Flaming Cliffs v1.12b it will update to version 1.1 this somewhat inhibits the online play as a lot of online gamers use the 1.12b. here are servers that do use the 1.1 version but as stated many use the 1.12b version.
 enjoyable February 20, 2008

I like this sim, the graphics are great if you have the card to drive them and you will need a hefty card if your still in AGP mode like I am.
I currently am using a HIS RADEON 1650GT and can not max out the water visuals but I am close, but this game came out in 05 and the 1650GT is a recently released card,bad coding I guess.
This sim flies well and if you can plug it to a wide screen HDTV with a decent graphics card you will have a blast flying and shooting after some practice. I do recomend this sim.
Great game for serious simmers only!!! February 11, 2008

This is a incredible game (it's not even a game really). The radar is very realistic (able to beam and notch the pulse doppler effect, you are able to change the pulse repitetion frequency, and much more). The flight charactoristics are awesome in the Su 25 and 25t. The US missiles leave much to be desired, but oh well. If you get this game, you MUST get teamspeak and hyperlobby and a headset and play online.
This game rocks, however, you will be spending more money on a joystick. :)

This Game/Simulator was fun for the short time I had it working.
The next restart had me formatting and reinstalling my OS.
After learning about Starforce copy protection (Google "Boycott Starforce" for the details)
and that it was only on disc two with the "Flaming Cliffs" install;
I installed the first disc only and had a bit of trouble getting it to work on my widescreen.
The Eagle Dynamics company forum was no help at all; save one person who responded but had no answers.
After a couple of days,
I finally found a solution in adding my resolution to the config .ini file.
It worked well for the evening I played it but, the next day when I started my computer;
I had lost my DVDRom completely and my DVDR was showing as a CDRom.
Now, I have no proof that the disc 1 did this but strongly suspect that Starfoce was behind the problem.
Many have posted similar problems after installing games with that copy protection on them.
I have since stopped buying any games from companies that uses Starforce copy protection.
It does nothing to the Pirates who will, do and have gotten around it
and causes trouble for the end users who actually pay for the product.
Lots of folks play LOMAC and maybe I need to find a copy of it alone for trouble free play.
This and another game have taught me to read the reviews closely
before paying good money for something you can't or don't want to use.
CAVEAT EMPTOR!
Best combat simulator ever! August 9, 2007
Sebastian Butenberg (Cologne, Germany)
Best combat simulator ever! Nothing left to say, but I hope they will go on with that. The programming is a bit waste of performance. Looks amazing for the age of the game, but there are graphicprogramming-techniques today which could give even more quallity with more performance!! Please eagledynamics, build another great version of this fantastic Simulator!
For all new players...use hyperlobby for multiplaying, u dont have to tell the hobbies of your parents there like u have to do at ubisoft regestration :-)
