I'm a newbie to the better flight sims, and have just picked up Lock On Platinum. I am looking for a couple of pointers, and/or answers to a couple of questions on FC2 while learning the A10:
1. In the quick mission, I keep getting aced by the Russian KA50, as I can not pick it up amongst the background (I will not use the Labels). For some reason, when I try to cycle through the 'next' air target, I get nothing back.. and there doesn't seem to be any radar help. Is there a little trick any of you use that helps find inbound bogies, while trying to keep it real?
2. On the MK82 and AGM65 'training' mission, I have had instances where I am dropping my MK82, and blow myself up! I watch the replay of it from below and both bombs drop, so they don't appear to be the reason for my quick demise. Any ideas?
3. Has anyone else had any problems getting the AI wingman to respond to commands?
4. Is there a list of squads that might be adding members? If things go as planned, I might want to join a squad, learn the intricacies of the sim.. and if so, are their 'wars' planned and fought?
Thanks for your help..
