It almost succeeds at this task and the only area that prevents this from happening is embarrassingly poor documentation, especially if you were one of the first 30,000 North American customers whose box was missing the cheat sheet that told the keyboard commands. LOMAC is an attempt to take this complex world and present it in a way that's more newbie friendly, without creating an arcade style game. This adds to the realism, as well as extending the life of the game as you learn the new aircraft.įlight sims, especially ones modeled after complex fighter jets, are very difficult to learn how to control, even on the easy settings. Each of these planes is authentically modeled, forcing you to learn a new airplane each time you fly one for the fist time the skills you learn in the F-16 won't transfer over to the SU-25. The Russians have the Mig-29, Su-27 and Su-33 (the carrier version of the Su series), and the SU-25 ground assault plane. For the Americans, you can fly the A-10 "Warthog", a plane that has yet to be included in any serious sim and one aficionados have been waiting a long time to fly, and the F-15C intercept fighter. The variety of aircraft will please just about any fan of modern air combat. It has eight models of flyable aircraft, but reproduces each one to a level of detail that will make you think you are playing a study sim. Lock On: Modern Air Combat (LOMAC) is the rare breed that is both types. A survey sim, like the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, takes several airplanes and creates models that are mostly accurate, but time and budget forces them to create more of a general overview.
A study sim takes one specific airplane, such as MicroProse did with Falcon 4.0, and creates a simulation that is very granular in detail, to the point where it looks and feels just like the real thing. Flight Simulators can easily be broken down into two categories: study and survey sims.
