New Pilots Must Read - Flaming Cliffs

This Thread is Dedicated to New Pilots Flying "Flaming CLiffs". The Official Add-On for "Lock On Modern Air Combat"

To play Flaming Cliffs online, You must first purchase the Flaming Cliffs Add-On by Eagle Dynamics Via The Lockon.ru Website. Or if in the US you may find "Lock-On Gold" on CD which includes the Addon.

Please read the "How To's" carefully. They can be found in the Forums.

Be sure to completely uninstall any earlier versions of Lock On and also the Flaming Cliffs Demo. Be sure to delete the "Eagle Dynamics Directory" in "Program Files" with Explorer before starting the new installation. To minimise the chance of a conflict with earlier versions of LO-MAC in the registry it is a good idea to change the install directory by removing the "Ubisoft\" Portion. The new address would read "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On". Check http://lockon.ru for any patches. Such as 1.11 or 1.12.

Hyperlobby is the only place to play online. It can be downloaded here

Some Routers/Firewalls require TCP port 1698

To host LO-MAC Online both TCP and UDP Ports 10308 need to be open if behind a Firewall/Router.

Most players use Teamspeak and its what we the 169th recommend. It can be downloaded here

We have a Teamspeak Server open to public. IP is 65.61.183.89 and the password is "panthers". There is nearly allways a few players connected and we are allways happy to help out the new guys.

It is extremely important when joining a server that the connection speed be altered to "XDSL 128/128 Kbit/s".

This is done at the Multiplayer screen by switching to "STOP" and then changing the default setting "Modem 33.6" to "XDSL 128/128 Kbit/s"

The Golden Rules

** Allways Read The Brief

** Most servers do not allow Vulching (shooting aircraft whilst they are still on the ground)

** If you change your loadout or create a new one it is most important to SAVE IT. If you dont save the load then your aircraft missiles will be invisible to everyone else on the server. Not only that but your kills will not register and you will not get a score.

** Do not use Mods unless the server specifies. Not only are they looked apon as cheats, but they also make servers unstable when they do not have the same mods installed. Mods are not scenery changes. Mods are aircraft modifications like the F16 and F18 or Loadout mods such as the AIM54C on Su27's. (Shepski's A-10 Realistic Load-Out Mod was meant to be released with Flaming Cliffs and is therefor ok to use in any server)

** Most of all have fun and respect your opponents.
