This looks like the perfect simulator for combat flight, not only one fighter that can be used, and the graphic looks wonderful.

Better have alot of power

Just tried to run the demo on a machine with a 3.06GHz P4, 512MB Memory, and a 64MB/Radeon 9000 card. It was completely unplayable. With minimal display settings, the frame rate was probably somewhere around 2 FPS. I don't know what they expect you to be able to run this game on, but you will definitely need more than you think you will. Be very wary of this game. I gave it 3 stars because it does look like a good game. It's a shame they couldn't make it more PC friendly.

You need a LOADED PC to play it decently!

I tried the demo on my Athlon XP 2400+ / 512 DDR266/ 40GB 8MB Cache WD Caviar Special Edition/ 128MB DDR ATI Radeon 9600 PRO with latest drivers and at medium graphics its hardly anything smooth, at high it's unplayable. I didn't really get to figure this game out it's really too complicated takes you lots of hours to understand how it works and since training has been scrubbed out of the demo there is no way you would actually know if you can get to play the game or not.

Graphics in the cockpit were great and detailed and so was the plane itself but ground models were medicore at best!

It's a mixed bag but again you need a really high end system to be able to play it at full graphics detail!

The best modern combat sim ever!

Installed a demo. Don't know what the guys who posted below are talking about but im running demo on my rig with following specs:

Athlon 1700+
ATI Radeon 9500 moded to 9700
SoundBlaster Live! 5.1
513MB of SDRAM

Game settings: resolution 1600X1200, 2x AA, 4x AF

The game is smooth. Geting on average 30 FPS. Physical model is great, graphics is great both environment and landscape (i come from Ukraine so i know how landscape is supposed to look like there:)) The only thing i didn't like was the damage model. But i think it's going to be fixed by the release date.

Of course it is not an arcade game. It is a hard core flight simulation with everithing that this entails. You gotta learn how to fly.

Everyone who is passionate about aviation should get this game!

PS. If your demo isnt running great, check out ubisoft's forums. You can learn how to set up you hardware, drivers, and the game right so it is playable.

this is just a review of their ftp site

I haven't finished downloading this game yet but their FTP site is really slow. And can only handle 325 connections. Thus the link from the web site to download it didn't work, I had to go and get it the old way G.I. Joe Style. And even now I'm only getting about 30-40K down stream. [GROAN] However the screen shots look really cool.

I have a P4 2.4 ghz machine with Windows XP, 1 GB of ram and a Radeon 9700 pro. I have the demo configured with most settings (terrain, scenery, shadows, etc.) on high while some are set to medium. I have been able to get smooth gameplay with 30 to 50 fps (frames per second), which is very decent considering that the demo that everyone here is talking about is several builds older than the full version. The flight models, physics, special effects, sounds...it's all superb. The level of detail in all aspects of the simulation is amazing. While the program is demanding, it is certainly not too much for most mainstream computers these days, and it is years ahead of anything else on the market now.

Not Recommended, Not Fun, Too Many Bugs

First off, the box says Win98SE compatible, yet LOMAC does NOT work on Win98SE for me and for everybody else that I have read on the flight sim forums. It is inconceivable that it was released like this. I also have a XP multi-boot which it does run on. Now for the really bad news. This game has so many bugs, it will be a LONG time before humpty dumpty is fixed and when 6 Ghz machines exist (see below). No dynamic campaign and No printed manual included either. The .pdf manual on disk is poor which is why this game has a steep learning curve. I have a high end 3.2Ghz, 512MB, MSI GeForce 5900 256MB machine and the frame rates stink. The best I get is 20-25fps (at medium detail!!) with little air activity, so those with mid or low end machines best forget this game! There are much better flight sims than LOMAC made in the past 5 years that work, are fun, run great, so I suggest to all to stick with those.

Lomac Excellent Game With a Very High Learning Curve

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.
