Btw, you will only need LockOn installed, most likely. I know what the PR says but I think it is a safe bet that you wont need FC2. FC2 did not require FC1 just LockOn, so it should end up working the same way.

I don't see DL lomac here, only CD box.

 

http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubina/en_US/pd/productID.180159900/sac.true

Doesn't work here, probably only for EU and US customers.

 

I dont see the problem here, sure the dl version would be available a few days earlier...but honestly it is pretty much cheaper than buying via amazon.com. get the fun and check the prizeranges there...up to 80$...

 

the CD Box possibility might not be the best, but it is a choice...by the way. My CD Box which I purchased arounnd 5 or 6 years ago, still rests on my shelf right next to me, where I stored all my favourite games I purchased....

there might be an offer to buy them together cheaper when FC3 is released rather than getting them one by one.

US only I believe.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

I've bought lockon 4 times now, I lost the cd every time but this time I have it in a safe place so I won't need it again

 

Doesn't anyone else make copies of their software CDs onto an HDD for CYA purposes?

Me: "Uh, FC3.."

-Other me: "Yeah, it costs 40 bucks..."

Me: "Okay.. Fair enough, A little steep there for FC2 planes in DCS world but okay.. I hope Im gonna enjoy it enough to justify the price.."

-Other me: "FC3 depends on LOMAC, an old 8$~ game.. "

Me: "Well so.. 48$ then.. Okay.. Should be easy enought to buy and download so im ready to FC3..."

-Other me: "Nah, it cant be downloaded in your region, you have to buy it on CD from outside your country and pay extras in shipping.."

Me: "FUUUUUU"

 

See what you did there? You made me sit here and write as my self, and my other self! We hate you ED!

Or might be not... Or some time after release, and i highly doubt they do it any soon. Price is not realy matter, 10$ more, 10$ less, else i could buy russian version, which is stand alone and not requres lo:mac and coast about 10-15$, but it is + 4-6 monthes of waiting...

Everyone needs to realize that if it was up to ED, there would be no LOMAC requirement. It is the way it is. No amount of complaining will fix that.

Im not angry or complaining. Im expressing my sadness. :cry_2: Besides that, its not only the dependence on lomac people are complaining about.. Its the fact that you need to give 40$ for very little, PLUS the 8 or 9 dollars extra or whatever for what now seems to be a game that only can be bought in CD version unless you live in US..

 

Thats not all UBI faults there... People have a right to express their disappointments and complain a little..

Yes, but they should do so in a constructive manner.

 

What you consider "very little" is a huge amount of work by a lot of people. If you don't feel this resulted in enough improvements that are to your taste (total replacement of missile flight engine would, in itself, be considered a huge thing by anyone's estimation I'd think?), then you're free to point this out and not purchase. But do keep the rules in mind.

 

Thanks.

I never bothered with FC1, but had the original LO:MAC. When FC2 was announced I went digging like crazy looking for that damn disk. It wasn't in the best shape, but upon managing to read it, I immediately copied its contents to my hard drive. Highly suggested to do as either an ISO, or just coping the disc contents directly it really doesn't matter.
