Do certain graphics settings affect how difficult it is to actually SEE enemy planes that are WVR I find complex WVR fights exceptionally difficult because other aircraft are so hard to see, you really have to look HARD in order to see them, and in a heated battle you really have no time to be searching so hard. I find that if I zoom all the way in, I can see them as dots when they just come within visual range, then once they get closer, at a certain point they actually become more difficult to see, unless they're right in ur face.

Theres one particular mission, when I fly it I can see everything when I turn on my radar, friendly and enemy in all directions, even behind me, are displayed in the HDD as if I were in TWS mode. Brief says I have no AWACS support, I have the difficulty set to realistic, whats goin' on?

ne1? :[

Is it only possible to communicate your wingmen, or is my uber n00bosity preventing me from seeing something? I never get any radio communication from other flight groups operating during a mission, only my own wingmen. Just earlier I was flying a mission where I was suppose to wait for an Su-17 to bomb a target b4 I engaged radar and searched for helos. I got no indication from the Su-17 that he had delivered his payload, only indication was the sight and sound of the explosions

Thanks for the info guys, especially on dodging Amraams, they suck now! :biggrin:

Lo' Three Qs First, when using the R-77 Missile on the MiG, is there any indication as to when the missile's active seeker has kicked in enabling the pilot to break lock, or must it be done by estimation? Secondly, Dodging AIM-120s, any tips? No smoke = I can't see them :[ Lastly, I was under the impression that the MiG-29 was able to track/engage 2 targets at a time instead of 1 like the Su27. Am I right here? If so how would I go about doing this? Thanks in advance guys
