flight

I love this game. Graphics are amazing. Game was 3 years in the making. They are still in the process of ironing out some bugs. The patch will be out soon enough. Plenty of things to do in the sim though until the patch comes out.

But be forwarned this is a high fidelity flight sim. It has very high system hardware requirements and a very high learning curve. And you need to patiently learn how to fly. Probabbly will take you 6 months at 3 hours a day to learn everything in this sim. This sim is not suited for kids. Adults only who have the patience to visit the lock on online forum every day and ask questions in a nice way. Don't be rude or you will be banned from the forum.

My personal congrats to the Eagle Dynamics Team and UBI on a wonderful sim that breaks new ground. I love the effort they put into this game.

If you just want a shootem up flight sim this is not your game.

If you want to be a fighter pilot and fly in an online squadron that takes alot of your free time this is your sim.

Be forewarned this sim could make you get a divorce, lose your job, fail out of school, and lose your friends. It is very addictive.

I found this game flies best if you remove it from your computer and toss it like a frisbee. I looked forward to this game for a year....What a BIG disappointment.

Lock On: Modern Air Combat is not worth the money and even if it were free, it wouldn't be worth your time. I bought my first FS software to fly the number one freeware aircraft simulator on the Internet - The TR-3B Flying Triangle.

I flew fighters for the Air Force in late Vietnam, specifically the F-111 and am rated commercial also. The TR-3B Flight Simulator for Microsoft's Flight Sim, is based on the writings, lectures, and TV interviews of Edgar Fouche who wrote "Alien Rapture." (See amazon)

Why? This is what the genius who developed it wrote: "For the experienced flight simmer on FS2002 PRO, I have developed this complete exotic amphibian TR-3B package, which is now available as freeware for download. It includes 3 models - the purple Astra, blue Locust and white Hellas - and as an extra 4th model the TR-3X with its own speedy attacker flight dynamics. The package includes TR-3B panel & gauges, noise cancellation sounds, fsuipc and special lights effects.

This TR-3B is a heavy tactical reconnaissance aircraft equipped with a magnetic field disruptor that reduces the weight by 89 percent (it is not the same as anti-gravity, though). It has been created for Microsoft Flight Simulator. All gauges are included.

The TR-3B can float like a speedboat at Mach 1.5 over water, fly like a heavy helicopter, like a bush plane, a business jet, like a military jet and lift like a rocket. Cruise speed is approx Mach 4.7 at FL340 and above, and approx Mach 2 at sea level. Service ceiling approx 69,000 feet ASL. Super stable. FSFREEWARE, SURCLARO, FSPLANET aircraft simulator sites have reported as many as 5000 downloads in one week!
I searched and read many many web pages about his book and the author, Edgar Fouche including; startfinish(put in the dot com.)biz/wise Click on links for Fouche and Flying Triangle. You will find his full presentation, and the download links for the TR-3B. Great Top Secret aircraft simulator which I recommend, and fantastic details on it. So try some of the free aircraft simulators instead of the poorly designed Lock On: Modern Air Combat.
