Take to the virtual skies for a realistic simulation of flight and combat in one of many modern U.S. and Russian fighter craft. Developed under the working title "Flanker: Attack," this combat flight sim from the producers of 1999's acclaimed Flanker 2.0: Combat Flight Simulator offers virtual pilots the chance to climb into the cockpit of the F-15C Eagle, the MiG-29k, the A-10 Warthog, the Su-27 Flanker, or one of several other real-life marvels of late 20th-century aviation.

The developers have stuck to their tried and tested format - modern jet combat over Russia, this time between the former USSR and NATO - and old Flanker players will spot three identical aircraft from the series: the German MiG-29A, Russian MiG-29A, and MiG-29C along with the SU's themselves: the SU-25 Frogfoot, SU-27 Flanker B and SU-33 Flanker D. There are, however, two new aircraft. The American fighter F-15C Eagle and the much loved, but very ugly A-10A Thunderbolt II tank buster (better known as the Warthog).

Based on the code we've been playing, Lock On looks good and plays great. The only question mark lies over the genre itself. Until recently, the flight sim market was DOA. Can Lock On do for the modern combat flight sim what IL-2 did for WWII dog fighting? Probably not, but at least it shows there's life in the old birds yet.

But the main reason for playing Lock On is combat. Lots of combat. And here it delivers -which is both a good and a bad thing. You see, there's two schools of thought on combat flight sims. There's the one that likes to get up close and personal, and there's the one that likes to see a small dot on the screen and fire off a long-range missile (imagine playing Call Of Duty by radar and you'll be close to what I'm talking about). Lock On belongs firmly to the latter school. That's not to say you can't get in close and use the cannon - the A-1OA Warthog was designed to do just that -it's just that modern air-to-air combat doesn't work that way. Try and bounce a pack of F15s and you'll have ten Sidewinders up your arse in no time.

Lock On is one of the best modern jet combat flight sims about - but it's also one of the only modern jet combat flight sims about. It looks good, the flight models are good, physics and ballistics seem accurate and there's a diverse range of things to kill. But you rarely get the adrenalin rush associated with WWII flight sims such as IL-2 Sturmovik or WarBirds III. This is no slight on the developer, it's just the way of modern air combat.

Movies like Top Gun and outstanding games like IL-2 Sturmovik and Flanker 2.5 have helped capture the exhilaration and challenge of taking to the skies in a fighter plane and fighting exciting aerial battles. Games like these are experiencing something of a renaissance, and even though it's been popular in the past to set combat flight sims in historical conflicts, like World War II, we're glad to see a new crop of games that take place in modern-day settings, complete with the kind of the sleek, top-of-the-line multimillion-dollar fighter jets and attack choppers we've already enjoyed seeing in action in films like Behind Enemy Lines and Black Hawk Down.

GameSpot: Thanks for taking the time for this interview. It seems that the combat flight simulators we've seen in the past few years were mainly focused on historical conflicts, especially World War II. Could you explain why you chose to go with a modern-day setting for Lock On instead?

There is only one other major "modern" air combat simulation in development at the moment besides LO: MAC. That competitive title is historical in nature and does not feature current, modern-day aircraft. There is room for competition in the area of combat flight simulations, but we certainly like the opportunity of being one of the only ones in development. Overall, the differences between LO:MAC and the other moderns sims that were released in the past few years are the following:

Mavericks here aren't magic missiles as they have been portrayed in most simulations. In Lock On, you have to learn what a real A-10 pilot has to learn about weapons deployment with the AGM-65 Maverick. Specifically, you have to learn about how the missile "sees" the ground, the differences in how the TV version and the IR version discerns a target from its background, how to fly to maximize the range at which you can identify and lock on to a target, and more. And that's just the Mavericks. You'll need to do the same for the unguided rockets and the awe-inspiring cannon--all while learning the details of the flight avionics in the A-10 cockpit and how the Warthog handles under various conditions. Then, having developed proficiency with the A-10, you can start all over again in, perhaps, one of the advanced air superiority fighters. Then you can learn the complexities of modern air-to-air radar operation or perhaps how to destroy ground targets in the relatively crude, HUD-less Su-25 Frogfoot. A simulation of any one of these aircraft, at this level of accuracy and detail, would be a must-have for the serious flight sim fanatic. To have all of these disparate jets simulated with such loving care is combat sim nirvana.

In spite of all of this, the heart of Lock On is a truly great combat flight simulation. When you finally figure out how to effectively get your AGM-65 to lock on to a dangerous mobile SAM unit in the middle of urban terrain; when you finally become proficient at quickly switching radar modes and locking on to an enemy fighter before he even knows you're in the air; when you finally appreciate how much you enjoy the personality of the ugly, crude, but effective Su-25; when you finally realize that you've spent hours and hours enjoying the unique attributes of one aircraft and still have several more to explore; and when you finally and successfully complete a hairy cooperative online mission (online play is very solid), you'll understand that this is a truly special flight sim. Whether you wait for some of the bugs to be ironed out (while this review is based on the initial release, we've seen a 17 meg patch that addresses many of the problems discussed), whether you wait to see what the mod community comes up with, or whether you go ahead and purchase the game now is a matter of how much you're willing to work around its initial problems. While it's a diamond in the rough in its initial release form, there's enough depth and breadth here that there's no doubt at all that Lock On is destined for greatness.

Lock On Modern Air Combat Free Download for PC or LOMAC, known in Russia as Lock On, is a modern combat flight simulation developed by Eagle Dynamics and published by Ubisoft in Europe and 1C Company in Russia; it is considered as a survey simulator by its creators. It contains 8 flyable aircraft and over 40 non-playable/AI-controlled planes. The game mainly revolves around air-to-air combat and air-to-ground combat with some optional, unique roles such as pinpoint/anti-radiation strikes, anti-ship strikes or aerobatics. The game realistically models all aspects of take-off and landing, AWACS (also known as AEW&C), carrier-based landings (for the Su-33), and aerial refueling.

Lock On: Modern Air Combat (LOMAC for short) is a modern combat flight simulator. Developed by the Russian company Eagle Dynamics, LOMAC has gained a large fan base due to the features of this game. The game's focus is on realism, rather than arcade game play, however the realism is not as hardcore as in the Falcon series. There is special focus on flight physics and detailed modeling. The game focuses in combat superiority aircraft, although there are also air support aircraft included. There are over 48 aircrafts in the game, of which the player can control 8 of them: Su-27, Su-25, 3 types of MIG-29, F15C and the A-10 Warthog. The game arena is a huge terrain modeled after the Black Sea region, with hundreds of buildings, towns, bridges, airfields, naval bases, forests and more. The missions inside the game are entertaining and you really keep focus on the campaign objective, its not just going through the next mission, is helping the campaign. The multiplayer option of this game is very good, giving you the ability to blow your friends out of the sky. With a handy mission editor included, its hard not to see why there are so many user-created missions out there. If you are a beginner or a veteran in combat flight simulators, this is the one you should get. 2b1af7f3a8
