New to LOMAC

[DixieChick]

HI, I usually fly Forgotten Battles (Im addicted to it actually), and decided to get LOMAC off my shelf to give it a spin. Anyway after installation and the patches I was all ready to start a campaign/career. I wanted to fly the Warthog for its ground pounding abilities. But of course something went wrong. Apparently the default settings dont work in the career mode? Or am I doing something wrong? I have a piece of @#$% Logtek wingman joystick that I use but would like peoples input at far as flight and weapons input settings go. I heard LOMAC was hard to figure out, but I wasnt expecting this. Oh... I can fly fine, but I cant fire any weapons. Help please?

you need to select a weapons mode before you can fire - keypress "7" for air to ground mode or.

 

the trigger on the joystick will only fire the guns, not release bombs or missiles on the US planes though. The default key for releasing ordinance is "enter". You can assign it to a joystickbutton in the options.

Lo-mac isn't a very "newbie" friendly game. You'll have to read the instructions before playing. Or sit through an entire tutorial (I know, it's boring). But you'll learn alot.

 

Lo-mac represents realism, and in real life, you don't just jump in a cockpit, click a button, and enemy plane goes down in a fireball. Select a radar mode, using keys 1-6 and use -tab to lock on to a target. Press d to select a weapon, and click to fire. Enjoy!
