Forgive me if this has been posted already. Okay, so I took a flight of 4 F-15's. I setup my 3 wingmen to have 1, 2, and 3 fuel tanks respectively to see who'd run out of gas first. I'd assumed that the guy with 1 fuel tank would bail out first. However, all 3 wingmen reported low fuel and bugged out at the exact same time. So what gives? How hard would it have been to program the AI planes to utilize fuel tanks?! Is there a workaround or trick to making the wingmen use fuel tanks?

I also have problems, thanks StarForce I've sent emails and received no response. I paid for the game, then paid for flaming cliffs, and still I can't run. This is unacceptable. Somebody needs to release a patch that fixes starforce. I've been trying to reinstall Lock On, Flaming Cliffs, all the patches, my registry backup, etc. for weeks now and I'm getting nowhere. This is beyond ridiculous.

yeah, alt-g is working now, not sure what was happening.

Thanks! That did it. Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone, When I am setting my options/preferences, I can change the resolution and color depth of the video/render. However, there are a couple training missions I've flown (SU-33 carrier launch & trap for example) that run in some special kind of graphics mode. I cannot seem to set my graphics options so that my screen always looks like it does in the training missions. I can't describe it easily. It's almost as if the render is an orthogonal projection, and when I'm in 3rd person view (F2) it's hard to focus on ground targets. Yet close up objects appear VERY nicely rendered. And the camera trembles/vibrates and it looks ultra-realistic. Is it a field of view setting? Depth of field? Something... How do I set my graphics options so that my campaign missions render in the same way these particular training missions do?

I've never been able to get the tail hook to come down on the SU-33 while attemting a carrier landing. Is it because my approach isn't good? Will the tailhook only come down under a perfect approach?

How do I reset trims? How do I reset trims? Also, I promise you I'm not fat-fingering it, I'm SUPER careful because when it happens I lose 20 minutes of my life as the mission is over once auto pilot is enabled because i'm in a spin crashing to earth and what's worse is my wingman is following me!!!:D I think i will try mapping auto pilot to another key, yeah that sounds NICE! Thanks for that tip! wish me luck:icon_supe

when you try to do time compression, it forces autopilot. and most of the time when you disengage auto-pilot, the flight controls are hosed (they are offset, as if they need to be recalibrated). thus I STILL cannot play this game. the only way to play is to never use time compression or autopilot, which means it will take all afternoon to play a few missions and i ALWAYS have to fly manually. I can't believe this bug hasn't been fixed?! we're not at version 1.2 the game is still broken...
