LOMAC w/ VISTA

[burner12]

I don't know why but onc I got my new gaming computer about a week ago I finally installed LOMAC. But itwon't take FC because it won't run on VISTA. And whenever I try to change the controls or key commands it never changes it stays the same. And one thing that buggs me is I'll be in the middle of a missio and the entire game will shut down and windows will say LOMAC is having a problem it will have to close. Does anybody know a solution to these problems? I've installed the 1.10 and 1.02 patches.

 

Also whenever I try to com plete a mission what I do is not follow the waypoints but get vectored to the nearest bandit, and even when I take out all the enemy aircraft i still fail. is it due to not following the waypoints? How do you get SUCCESS in a LOMAC mission?

FC should run on Vista fine, but you'll need the 1.12b patch. It's the whole Starforce thing.

 

As for getting a success or not, it depends on how the mission is written. It could be you can't allow the enemies to destroy a certain target, or get to a certain point, or even you have to patrol an area for a certain amount of time. Unfortunately the only way to know is to open the mission up in the editor and learn to figure out exactly what the designer set.

I did install the 1.12b patch, along with some sort of Star Force Driver update but now the cockpits are translucent and the planes apppear white, what's up with that?

[JediMaster]

Sounds like a video driver issue. Do you have the latest ones for your card?

I finally fixed the cockpit transparent problem I run FC as an admin instead of just running it. But the problem with the program alwyas crashes is still there why? Is there a fix for that?

Save yourself some trouble..do not install your games under :c:\programs..Vista really will mess w/ya. Instead install in a different dir ie, c:\games\whatevergameyour installing.
