Be careful with those specs. I have 3 GHZ, 1 GB RAM, 7800GS, and at medium settings and 1024x768 without AA or AF saw it stuttering.

It looks good, without doubt, but I think consensus is that concernign system avioncis and realism, Falcon has some more to offer, beyond the inferior graphics (which are not that bad again). I also did not like the mission-design in LOMAC. It felt sterile, and not immersive. But that may be a question of taste. Not too mention Falcon's hopelessly superior campaign mode.

Watch out for starforce. I do not remember the details, but I seem to recall that some non-German versions of the addon came with it.

I tested LOMAC for myself over a week, when it came out for smile price. I then deinstalled it and never looked back. Even Longbow 2 I liked better - mmuch more immersion. Technically, the LOMAC cockjpits are very good, though.

check my gunship thread (Black Shark), it was planned as an addon for LOMAC, but now comes as a standalone product. It is a new engine, but you can see the familiarity with the LOMAC engine.

P.S. Until a year ago or so, I occasionally used Flanker 2.5 for a flyaround, which felt nice due to the good flightmodel. That sim was the predecessor to LOMAC, and features a very nice 3D cockpit and FM. The free mega-update gave me the Mig-29 additionally to the Flanker. Doing touch-and-gos with it was fun. As a combat sim - again, too sterile, no immersion.
