It's called Lock-on (duh), you can buy it on the internet, and no.

Don't get the Flaming Cliffs version. Look up all the crap about copy protection breaking laws and ect for anything further on that.

There are only like 6 flyable aircraft and it's so realistic that any regular person will have trouble with it, not to mention the cockpits aren't interactive, meaning the whole thing is keyboard and joystick based.

Keep in mind, they are in Russia, and no one has wanted to go the effort to ship thier computer to Russia just to prove a point.

Aside from the burner issues, it is software which does replace system files.  As such, there should a warning on the box of any product using this software.  There is no end of possible issues which can stem from the replacement of system files.

I think it is utterly irresponsible for a software company to use any copy protection scheme without warning its end users.  Unfprtunately, the basic Windows user mentality is such that most people are ok with system files being replaced.

And it is not paranoid to want to protect your computer from invasive products which alter the way your computer was intended to work.  I too have crossed off any Sony or Starforce protected content from my purchase list.


If you read the articles linked to in the thread, there are more issues than Skuzzy addresses in this post.

I have Flaming Cliffs. Awesome game, scalable difficulty (avionics etc), but you need an ok gaming rig to fully enjoy it. No problems with starforce.

A good example of great realism but the bore factor for the average joe.

You mean you don't want to do a 15 minute start up?

Hell I am thinking about installing a PA system for when I am flying a commercial jet over some interesting landmarks in MSFS.
