That is Lock On - Flaming Cliffs version 1 . The Flaming Cliffs mod was created by Eagle Dynamics, ( DCS ) as an enhancement to the original game Lock On Modern Air Combat ( LOMAC ) which was also created by Eagle Dynamics.

@richardstinchcomb5604 thanks bro!

@@samuellcarvalho2173 Yeah no problem bud ! if you want to know more about the sim I have created a Facebook group for it. Small group, just starting out, hard to find people interested in old games but good stuff there. facebook.com/share/g/AJ68tEHAWrxRAyCi/

This actually has the EECH AllMods mod installed. eech.online/news/eech-ver1-16-1-is-out/ At the time of this video I didn't quite understand how this mod improved the original game. I should update the details in the description to include mod detail and link. It greatly improves the original game.

Thanks. It took many hours of practice and totally rely on your instruments like AOA, speed, altitude , etc. The visuals are not so exciting but the accomplishment is very satisfying.

​@richardstinchcomb5604 Absolutely ! Like staying alive. Amazing !! ❤

Exactly ! Thank You. Most people get it. 😉

Yes correct. They also made Wings of Prey in 2009 , A WWII warbird sim. And then Gaijin went on to develop War Thunder. You can definitely see the influence from those games in War Thunder.

I'm not sure exactly but I'll let you know what my PC specs are and offer a suggestion for a program that might help. Mine is a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, i7 4.0ghz Intel, 64 gig of system ram. nVidea RTX 2070 with 8 ghz ram, samsung 32" curved monitor running 2560 x 1440 at 144 hz . But I think it should run on less than that. I also use Razer Cortex that has game booster and system booster that clean up your junk files, defrag, and shut down programs that you select to not run in the background. Allowing your PC to not be bogged down when playing a game. It has really helped me. www.razer.com/cortex

That's the perfect progression to learn the F-16 👌

You can ! Just join my Facebook group for Lock On Flaming Cliffs 1 at the link in the description area of this video and can show you how to do that . Also watch my video ruclips.net/video/XKZ5yYSmDX0/видео.html

I am using dgVoodoo2 wrapper that is set to my desktop screen resolution of 2560 x 1440 . Also the graphics setting in LockOn is at 2560 x 1440

@@richardstinchcomb5604 So, LOMAC has native wide-screen support? That's excellent!

I tried Strike Eagle II but I couldn't get a proper external side view of the aircraft to match the other sims in this video.

​@richardstinchcomb5604 OK, I got it. But also if I recall correctly the DCS model for F-15 was drastically updated smth in beginning of 2010's (circa 2013 I think ) not in 2023. Also you could mention Razbam model of F-15E .

​@@richardstinchcomb5604Btw the cockpit view of different sims of different eras would be nice. Yes, I know they are in the beginning of the video, but heavily overlapped by the name of the video.

@@VSZHOPY Good idea, I really hadn't noticed but yeah the cockpits have come a long way too. Maybe a good idea for another video. 👍

Hello, I just accepted your request on the Facebook group. You can find them there. Just scroll down the page and see the links to MediaFire

@@richardstinchcomb5604 thank u Maan you're a life saver this was my childhood game and I was looking for it for years really thank u

@@thejetfighter awesome 😎 I’ve got a few more of this kind of tutorial I will be doing about the things that I have learned about the game.

@@richardstinchcomb5604 Awesome!

Just by chance I saw a video on Facebook from a DCS group showing how he was able to play FC1 , Lock On Gold on Windows 10. I got to ask him a few questions, how he was able to do this. He sent a RUclips link on how to install this game without Starforce protection and had links to download. His entire video was in Spanish and I had to use a language converter to speak with him and decipher his instructions. He had link for that No CD patch and the other necessary downloads but his video and all the links are no longer on RUclips. I've uploaded all of them to my MediaFire account and created a Facebook group called Lock On Flaming Cliffs 1. It's there If you need it just join up and it will also help build the group.

@@richardstinchcomb5604 Do you guys have a discord group? Facebook won't let me sign up. I created an account and it automatically suspended it and now I'm waiting for the appeal.

@@josephlopez-sz9ey she is a tricky one to handle for sure.

I never fully understood how to play this online. Is it done with a dedicated server ?

I would have to agree with that 😉

Hello Muhammad , that information is on my Facebook group facebook.com/groups/435466679111057/

I ran it perfectly.

@@KhanhLam777 much appreciated if you list the instructions

@@muhammadsaleh7229 YES ! so glad to hear it worked for you

Thanks for asking. Go to my channel, if you have Facebook I have a link to my Lock On FC1 group. Please consider joining and all the information is there.

LOL ! I never knew what to expect. Sometimes you hit it just right and other times not so good. I got lucky

@@richardstinchcomb5604 You showed some serious pilot skills there 😀

@@thejetfighter Thanks !

Hello, stay tuned I am sure that there will be another RUclips'r I know that should be doing a tutorial on installing this game on modern PC. Watch for @thejetfighter www.youtube.com/@thejetfighter to be making a video about this. He also has other flight sims that he discusses on several of his media accounts. Very well done tutorials several older flight sims on modern PC's. I have the files and basic install notes uploaded to my MediaFire account if you need them sooner. You will need to install virtual DVD software like Daemon tools to run the ISO files and install on your PC. I've tried using the retail CD version of LockOn Gold with StarForce protection, however could only play by installing game on Windows 7, using an update to the StarForce software. But since then found the version that bypasses the StarForce. It consists of the original LockOn v1.0, then install Flaming Cliffs 1.1, then Update patch 1.12a, and then update patch 1.12b. and finally the No-DVD patch. It works great. And yes, there is not much information available on this game, especially since LockOnfiles website went away. I think it is a very underrated game and deserves some attention. I may end up doing some videos about tips and how to's about the game from what I've learned about it so far. I've had the game since new, 2003? but never fully got involved in it until now. I enjoy it more than FC3 , probably because of the nostalgia and it works. 👍

​@@richardstinchcomb5604 Plz plz. Do a tutorial on how to make this game work on windows 10 and upload the necessary files . It would be so grateful of you do this . Best regards . Plz I need this game

Actually DCS came from further back, this is not the first ED simulator.

If you like Flaming Cliffs 1, you could buy on eBay . Look for Lock On Gold. It includes LockOn, Flaming Cliffs 1 and updated to final version of 1.12 However, the latest Windows version that you can play it on is Windows 7. That's only because Flaming Cliffs 1 uses StarForce anti-piracy software and it cannot be updated to play on any newer Windows versions beyond Win7. Ubisoft allowed one update to Starforce to Windows Vista. You can update it ( from Starforce website) to Windows Vista and play it on Windows 7 PC. Original Lock On stand alone can be played on modern Windows PC . But I could not get network multiplayer to work on that version.

​​​@@richardstinchcomb5604 does lock on gold had the activation code? And uh. Are u playing on windows 10 with windows 7 compatibility on the fc? And last question. Will starforce broke my pc? I saw on The dcs forum that starforce had a problem on newer windows

​@@DemCampurz Hello , Lock On Gold only uses StarForce protection. However , if you use that version (Lock On Gold - retail boxed version) the latest Windows version you can play it on is Windows 7. And that is with using an update to StarForce which makes it playable on Windows Vista, but will also work on Windows 7. StarForce wont break your computer, it will just prevent you from loading this game. It is a terrible software protection because it requires the game publisher to request an update to StarForce in order to make it playable on newer operating systems. And that's not going to happen on a game this old. This video was played on Windows 7 using the updated StarForce protection. It works well but will not work on Windows 10/11 . But there is good news. I have recently found out that there is another downloadable version that can avoid the StarForce activation. I am using it on Windows 10 and should work on Windows 11 as well. I am also playing it full screen at 2560 x 1440 on my 32" monitor by using a graphics wrapper called dgVoodoo2 . I set the screen resolution to my desktop display in dgVoodoo2. There is a noticeable difference in the ground terrain and clouds when installed on Windows 10. I have the same settings for both of my PC's to get the best graphics quality but in Windows 10 I can see trees and more ground details than I could with Win7 version. See the difference with my newer Lock On FC 1 video located here ruclips.net/video/SlPupNn-7jw/видео.htmlsi=3o5RD7tvHKCMNN0q which is the Windows 10 version. I do not use compatibility mode for Windows 7 , only Run as Admin is required when using dgVoodoo2 graphics wrapper. It works flawlessly on my PC and multiplayer will work using Radmin. I will be doing more to promote this sim because I feel it is worth a second look compared to the newer DCS versions. It's scaled down and has lower requirements. I have the downloadable version in my MediaFire account for Win10 gameplay. I have just created a Facebook group 4 days ago called Lock On Flaming Cliffs 1 and prefer people join there and provide links and answer questions. I feel it is a better format than discussing here. This is my newly created group , be patient as I am still improving it and adding information. facebook.com/groups/435466679111057/ PS it is a private group and all the answers to the questions to join can be found by searching Wikipedia, Lock On: Modern Air Combat

@@richardstinchcomb5604 owhh i see thanks man Edit: im joining the group now

@@DemCampurz thejetfighter will be making an install tutorial for this game very soon. I can link it here for you when it is available.

Yeah it sure does. These older games have just the right amount of techy to still be fun. I've had LockOn since new but have not played it much in the last 20 years. Now I'm totally into the whole game , 20 years later LOL. This is the last version, LockOn Gold which has FC1.12 and can only be played on Windows 7 at the latest due to StarForce anti-pirate software. Sadly It just kills the longevity of the game. But yeah, it kicks a$$ !. Thanks for the comment

Yes, it is gameplay. I thought the same thing as you when I first replayed the saved video. Because when the helicopter first took off I purposely fired the cannon at the ground. And that's what the video shows. I looked into the games camera and view settings to get the target view and other action views. I wish the game had more camera settings. So that is one mission , start to finish just as I played it.

Yes, and it's a shame they made this game practically unplayable now. I bought it when it was still listed in their support site and registered it. Because now you cannot even activate it as you will need to register it online to the YuPlay site which is broken. This could have developed into so much more. 😞

Agreed 👍🏻 I know what you mean

Yeah Gaijin did a great job on the model and sounds for this aircraft. They really should have gone a little further with the development to keep the game playable. With a few improvements to the flight characteristics and additional views like fly by, and more camera positions. I don't know how the real aircraft handles turns but this model is very tricky to preform a 180. I had to cut power and drop the nose to get it to turn a little as long as I had altitude. I will end up doing another video showing the cannon and the FLIR. Really looks and sounds realistic.

@@richardstinchcomb5604 they have for the most part just copy pasted all the helis in this to wt but the HUD and stuff could do with alot of work in wt, hopefully one day they'll give each individual heli and tank there own unique sights instead of the same stuff over and over again. only time will tell
