So, i noticed the population of T&T players playing LOMAC is increasing.

So, i try my local asda store, like Tommy (?) did. no luck there. GAME dont sell it, and i haven't seen it elsewhere.

Where did you guys purchase yours from ? was it lockon.co.uk ?
Does it work ? As i noticed anything on ebay was from America, and of NTSC region, not PAL

Dads b*tching about how "its gonna mess my PC up" and stuff, so i need some pretty sraight answers.

Cheers,
Sarge

I bought the game itself from Amazon.co.uk. £5 I think it was, for the Gold Edition.

I then installed Lock On via the CD.
Then purchased Lock On: Flaming Cliffs update from www.lockon.co.uk
Had some problem downloading it (Site hadn't registered my purchase), so emailed them with my order ID and site username, they sorted it for me.
Downloaded FC.
Rebooted.
Installed FC.
Rebooted.
Installed 1.12b patch.
Ran LockOn.
Used the "Manual Activation" option from the website, with the Serial Number given to me by the site on downloading FC and the Hardware Code given to me by the activation request that the game generates.
Ran LockOn again, bingo.
Spent about 3 hours putting new joystick into a configuration that worked well lol.

Bitching how it's going to mess your pc up? Is he stupid? Sorry to be blunt but i've not heard so much drivel in all my life.

I got mine from ebay, but amazon do it, Play.com do it aswell. Mine cost less than a fiver posted :D

Forgot to mention:

When you download the 1.12b patch, make sure you download the ENGLISH version for the WEB DOWNLOAD version of Flaming Cliffs... there's three different versions of the patch available lol.

My dad is a total bloody n00b

Day 1: "WHY THE F**K WONT THIS THING TURN ON !" (repeated motion of switching mains power on/off*

"Use the power button" ....

Stuff it, i'll just tell him it works, show him your postings, and be playing lock on (when i get a joystick :p)

Now all we need is a dog, waiting at the end of the runway for his master to return.

Best not call it the same as the dog in Dambusters though .... :eek:

I think your dad bitchs banner because you have over £200 worth of GPU in your machine and you can only hunt deer on high :p

Shush Cain, he dont know that yet :p

TBH, when i started PC gaming, if it wouldn't run on all max, uber 1337 settings, i wouldn't play it.

But i've realised theres not much difference between medium/high/UBERhigh.
Besides the frames :p

If he's got a £200 GPU in there that's only letting him play DH05 on High, it means something else in the system is bottlenecking it :p
