Flaming Cliffs 2.0
LockOn: Flaming Cliffs 2 is a further evolution of LockOn: Flaming Cliffs. All of the player-controlled aircraft have been transferred to the virtual environment created for the Digital Combat Simulator series.
Improvements include:
- Forward compatibility as well as online compatibility with the new Eagle Dynamics title DCS: Black Shark. Players may fly Flaming Cliffs-specific aircraft in missions/campaigns created for DCS:Black Shark (and vice versa) and in multi-player games with players running DCS:Black Shark online.
- General improvements and bug fixes to the multi-player component of Flaming Cliffs.
- Features the same virtual world environment as DCS:Black Shark (the Crimean portion of the previous Flaming Cliffs map has been removed while additional areas of Georgia have been introduced, modelled at higher resolutions than in DCS: Black Shark).
- Automatic detection of player-modified configuration files when connecting to a multi-player server.
- Updated graphics engines (referred to as The Fighter Collection Simulation Engine (TFCSE)) running natively under DirectX 9.0c with numerous improvements to texture, weather and resolution quality.
- Improved and more realistic aircraft, weaponry, sensory and audio modelling.
- Brand-new Mission Editor with scriptable triggers, new mission roles and improved AI/flight modelling for NPC aircraft.
- Additional range ground units such as infantry.
In November 2009 Eagle Dynamics announced that a pay-for upgrade ($14.99 USD) called Flaming Cliffs 2.0 was planned for release in early 2010. Flaming Cliffs 2.0 (Russian version) was released on 25 March 2010 ($29.99). The English version was released shortly after.

Famous quotes containing the words flaming and/or cliffs:
“they smile in secret, looking over wasted lands,
Blight and famine, plague and earthquake, roaring deeps and fiery sands,
Clanging fights, and flaming towns, and sinking ships, and praying hands.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.”
—For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
