The main reason I didn't get this PC with XP is because out of all the computer-savvy people I know who use(d) it, I can count those who were happy with it on the fingers of one thumb! Still, the worst that can happen is I HATE it and go back to Win98. I guess I'll look for an XP disc this weekend.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I had Win98 installed when I bought my PC on the recommendation of a friend, but only because she said it would probably work better for me than XP. So I suppose I could get the sim, DL the patch, and see how things work out (definitely need the HOTAS first, though!) I'm sure that if my Nvidia card still causes problems I can get a decent amount of money for it and find one that works better...and upgrade to XP if necessary :P

Hello everyone. I'm getting back into flight sims after about a 5 year hiatus, and from what I've read here and elsewhere L0MAC seems to be the one to beat. What I'd like to know is: Is LOMAC a sim or a game? Is it like Falcon 3.0, Tornado, or Back to Baghdad where you have to do a month or so of flight school and training missions before you're ready for the real deal? Or is it more like ATF or Jetfighter III, where absolute authenticity in the flight model, radar & weapons usage, etc, are sacrificed for the sake of "gameplay?" Your answers will determine whether or not I buy LOMAC, because the newest sim I have in my inventory right now is Janes F15 (although I still like it, along with Falcon Gold, Tornado, X-wing, the original Flanker, etc...the old P133 ain't dead yet!) PS - My system's a 6-week-old 3.0GHz P4, 128MB Nvidia Geforce 5200, 512MB DDR, 56X CD-ROM, and Win98SE. Thrustmaster Cougar is coming soon, unless someone can tell me how to hook up my FLCS/TQS/RCS without the ACM card or a gameport. Any forseeable problems with it? From the few posts I've read LOMAC seems to be a VERY demanding sim and I'd just as soon add another 512MB RAM ahead of time if that's what it'll take for problem-free flight.
