- Lock On was developed by Eagle Dynamics (known as Flying Legends back in the 90's) and published by Ubisoft in late 2003.
It's a successor of Flanker series. First Flanker debuted on PC DOS in 1995 and featured one flyable plane - Sukhoi Su-27 and Crimea region as a theatre of operations. Subsequent releses introduced new flyable planes - Su-33 (Flanker 2.0) and maritime version of MiG-29, the MiG-29K (Flanker 2.5).
LO:MAC added few additional airplanes: Su-25 Frogfoot, MiG-29A Fulcrum, and highly anticipated workhorses from USAF - A-10A Thunderbolt II and F-15C Eagle.
Based on that engine ED released Flaming Cliffs, Black Shark, Flaming Cliffs 2, A-10C and eventually it all ended with DCS World which is the premiere platform for military sims today.
I'm playing a user-made campaign for A-10 which you can still download here:

The game is updated with the 1.02 patch.
Due to problems with object self-shadownig on Nvidia cards I had to disable this feature.
Considering it was released 14 years ago the game still holds up nicely even today.
Back in 2002/2003, when no one even heard of UA-cam - you had to download trailers from internet, anyone remembers FileShack?
Anyway, I remember seeing a trailer/gameplay video of LOMAC - in cockpit view of MIG-29 flying low level with all the trees, buildings and smoke chimneys passing by and with working mirrors. I had to collect my jaw from the floor. It was the best looking sim on the market, but it lacked the immersion of flight sims from previous decade.
I still have the first release in big box, unfortunately they didn't added proper thick manual to go with it, only 48 pages long booklet, so I was a bit dissapointed.
Enhanced manual can be found here:

Literally my whole childhood
Over 15 years later and some of the same AI plane and ground models are still being used in DCS.
Who here was a member At SimHQ and CombatSim. That shows your age with LOMAC
As soon as I heard the background menu noise I immediately joined in the radio chatter... Still know it off by heart lol. (sigh) What a game
when I first bought this game, I couldn't get it working smoothly as my PC wasn't powerful enough, gosh, things have changed....
realistic air combat simulations, still in our hearts
Thanks for posting. Brought me back to a time when i was committed to this sim through three historical HOTAS generations of hardware. I have used CH stick and pedals, TM Mark II FCS and Cougar, SAITEK and other products. You captured all the core elements perfectly. Awesome vid.
Wow thank you for this, truly a blast from the past. I have been with them since they were Lock on and I bought FC2. Bought many things since and awaiting Apache and other stuff coming. What an amazing world DCS now is. The fidelity, I will never be leaving, DCS is my thing. They have updated it so much in the last year most complaints I saw in posts are Null, clouds are new, models, sounds, etc and keeps getting better.
I still have the original copy of the game, I didn't know how to play it then and I still don't know how to play the game now :D
Awesome performance from ace pilot !
Amazing video man, i would like to play this old version, but i did not found it!
4 year old me would play this with mouse and keyboard
Incredible for 2003
you were on glide path at the end. and then 2 buzzed by.
Hi, how did you manage to scale the image properly? When i set the Resolution to 1080p the image is stretched!
How you activate the Helmet Mounted Cueing System?
great! i have flamming cliffs 2 online installer with mod but lost the game file 2 month ago such a lovely simulator next im planning getting DCS world or in my pc
Can you please help, I installed Lomac on my windows 10 PC, but the game doesn't want to run, like the "home" window where you can choose to play, register or Uninstall is there but the game doesn't want to launch at all, been trying compatibility mode but that also doesn't solve the problem. I have a lomac disc.
I dont suppose that I can still get this can I?
