Attention: This is no longer the source for LOMAC help, support, etc. It hasn't been for YEARS.

Go here: http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=53

Some basics:
1. Your original LOMAC is completely worthless. This includes versions up to 1.02. If you expect anyone to spend a great deal of time helping you- upgrade to latest version. If you're thinking "I'll learn on this old one, then I'll upgrade".. Waste of time. Almost everything has changed.

Get yourself up to FLAMING CLIFFS 1.12 at WORST. LOMAC FC 2 is BY FAR the best way to go. LOCK ON PLATINUM is a good way to get there.

2. You WILL need a stick. No one takes a keyboard pilot seriously. 2 piece HOTAS are HIGHLY recommended.

3. Online play requires you to be in a server that uses the same version you have. Be advised that the online community is about realism. (as LOMAC gets, anyway) LOMAC is a mid-level simulation.. Fly offline however you want- but- if you use labels, externals, easy radar, and other built in "easy" features-- you have a WHOOPIN' coming your way in the servers. Do you really want to have to start all over again?

4. Get Teamspeak and Ventrilo installed- and use them while in the servers. No one is going to train you in the chat box.

5. Install "mods" at your own risk. There's a lot of mods made over a lot of versions- they don't all work, and some of them are illegal for online play.

I am IL2 veteran and I think about getting Lock On. It seems to be another great flight simulator.
This is the thread I was searching for. Thank you.

i dont agree with this, time to move on. I still enjoy playing lomac 1.2, and dont plan on getting flaming cliffs..so speak for yourself.

I'm kind of amazed people still make their start with LOMAC 1.02. A real nice sim in its day but things have moved way ahead of it now ... well, some things have, ... a few other things remain exceedingly crap. But think about upgrading to FC2.1, and make sure you buy a TrackIR, as it makes EVERYTHING better. If you have never used one you can't imagine how much better they make the sim (plus you'd get nailed pretty fast without one). Anyway, bump!
