Hello all,
A friend and I bought LOMAC Gold CD sets a couple of months ago to play multiplayer. Unfortunately, when we join a server, we are unable to fly together. Sometimes when I begin a multiplayer mission with him, I can fly around, and so can he, but our planes remain stationary on the tarmac to each other. It's funny because you can see the explosions and crashes created by the other player, but his aircraft is still sitting on the tarmac. Other times one of us will sit on the tarmac with an endless "Loading Connection" message while the other one flies around. We are familiar with hyper lobby and Ubisoft's server and how to create our own server. Perhaps the problem is the fact that we were unable to patch ALL the way to 1.12b. We both get this 'error 2' message when patching straight to 1.12b is attempted. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and attempted to patch to see if that would work. Would it be right to just give up hope for Gold and go buy LOMAC and FC separately?
*Both our CPUs are more than adequate to play LOMAC FC on single player with the high resolution.
*The suspected problem is that the error 2 message while patching to 1.12b prevents installation and therefore prevents us from multiplayer on hyperlink.
I'm a newb when it comes to this stuff.
Thanks for your time and consideration. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

LOMAC Gold 1.12b Patch Installation problem
Hello DuX14,
Welcome to the Virtual Thunderbird's Forum. I will try to help you as best as I can, however I am still alittle "fresh" at this so, here goes.
1. Make sure you downloaded and installed the 1.12b CD version. There is two versions of the patch, a Web Version(For people who bought/downloaded Flaming Cliffs) and the CD Version. You need the CD version.
I got my Patch download from
LockOnFiles
2. I recommend installing Lock On:Modern Air Combat, then directly Installing Flaming Cliffs, then installing the 1.12B CD Patch afterwards.
3. You can try the Virtual Thunderbirds
MOTHER OF ALL STICKIES
That's the best Information I can give you, Sorry if it isn't much.
Good Luck
Knox

Be 110% sure you're using the correct patch(es) and that your friend is doing the same. Follow the step by step advice religiously in the "How To" guide and let us know if you still have problems. Knox's suggestions are also really good.
