Stuck with a f-18

A while ago I installed a Blue Angels Mod for lomac with loman and it worked fine. Then I un-installed loman. I now see a F-18, but no Blue Angel Paint, so I tryed to just remove the entire thing and I can't find the folder for the F-18 to add it to the loman list, and now I'm stuck with a F-18. I tryed re-installing lomac even and all I see is this F-18, any ideas on how to get it out?

Wow, sounds like a bad dream I had a couple nights ago. Try uninstalling it again through Loman...had a similiar problem a while back.. but it was with the f16 paint.

i doubt you will have the originals back, unless you tell me what files did it replace.

:shock: ... So ur saying I may never get my old plane back!!! I dont understand how that can work though because it didn't right it to the lomac disk, I hope... But I can't find the originals, I'm gonna try searching for the name of the file.

Uninstall, re-install Lock-On & FC...

Make sure to check which LoMan version is to be used for each different mod. Some mods are incompatible with older/newer versions. We've stuck with LoMan 2.1, but I know many other newer addons require different version(s) of LoMan. Just a thought...

If you really did a complete uninstall and then reinstalled everything, I don't understand how you're still stuck with anything but the default planes. Did you clean out all the folders (delete Ubisoft directory) after uninstalling? My only explanation is that whatever got modded, didn't get deleted with the uninstall, so you'll have to make sure that you wipe out any traces of Lock-On before reinstalling the game again.

well open the winrar file and tell me what files are there, those are the file that LOMAN will overwrite, then contact me on msn and i'll just send you mine's ( some of them are diferent ) but it's better than just having a model that you realy don't want.

The reason I can't take out the F-18 is because I can't un-install it with loman. You know in loman when you have to add a plane to the list and click install or uninstall. I can't add it to the list because I cannot find the file, who knows if its even still on my computer. Silver I understand the idea of sending me the F-15, but I'm not sure if that would overwrite it or not. What I'm wondering is if I can find the MAIN lomac aircraft directory, delete it, and the re-install lomac. Basically my main goal is to find the F-18 file I installed on my pc, add it to the loman uninstall list, and uninstall it. I tryed a computer search, nothing happened. It's the F-18 Blue Angels mod found at combat ace made by Kato, Alias, Baird and SE. Oh and I forgot, just went to go to some A-10 flyen and it looks like a C-130, and I can see a black inside view of a C-130 cockpit inside of the A-10 cockpit, because the C-130 came w/ the pack. Here is the link to it. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?download=481

I forgot to add, I think it's kind of installed, because it no longer looks like a Blue Angel it looks like a regular USN F-18, I think the same goes for the C-130...

Okay one more edit... I think I can confirm that the F-18 mod was created using a AI f-18 from lockon. I then uninstalled loman and that took out the main F-18 files such as the paint, but left the AI F-18 in-place of my F-15. I'm still clueless on why it would still be there after a full reinstallation though. I'm gonna try LD's thought on looking for more traces of lomac after the uninstall. However I think its a matter of the AI f-18 overwriting the F-15 automatically because loman automatically puts that F-18 back in the lock on aircraft folder as soon as it finds the lomac directory again. Not sure if your still following me, but I think I'm running out of options... :?
