I just created a new area in the "Downloads" section of our SourceForge publications. It's named "BootableLinuxForLAC" and you can find it HERE:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxaircombat/files/Choose%20Your%20Platform/BootableX86LinuxWithLAC/

Hereafter, it will always contain an entire. bootable, portable, READ-ONLY desktop LINUX system that will automatically adapt to almost any industry-standard "X86" hardware and that is fully equipped with LAC and all of its usual companion tools. You can download the .iso file it contains and burn it to DVD ROM or USB flash memory device, in cooperation with your PC's BIOS, to safely bootstrap into desktop LINUX and fly LAC without any impact on your existing Windows setup. Further instructions are prominently displayed on the download page referenced above.

Update 02Jan2026:

We just published a new version of this "Downloadable desktop LINUX for LAC, in which LAC has been updated to Version 9.87. At the time of this writing in early JAN2026 (and probably for at least a month hereafter) you can find it in our BETA TEST downloads area of SourceForge.net HERE.

If our beta testers don't find any serious problems with this new .iso file during Jan-Feb2026, you can expect us to move it out of our "Beta Test" area and into our BootableX86LinuxWithLAC area.

Update 21Jan2026: We just found a bug in LAC Version 9.87 that prevents use of the player's keyboard to control throttle. Accordingly, unless you have a hardware throttle embedded in a joystick or console game controller, we do NOT recommend LAC version 9.87 and if you want to try the ISO version described in this thread you should use a different version of the ISO file. You should always find the best production versions of this option in THIS download folder from our SourceForge archives:
