You need to look closely at where you are going and stay out of range of the enemies weapons. Sounds like you are flying right into it to it. Tanks should be no problem as long as you do not fly right into them. Find cover and stop and pop (up) often to recon the area first. As far as the Hinds are concerned you will have to ask others for specific techniques. I am not so good with A2A in the Shark. Again try to see them before they see you and you should be able to handle it ok. Remember Stand off and use your weapons at optimum range. That will keep you out of reach of most small arms fire easily. Take the threats down in layers moving in to cleanup with gunz only when safe. Out

Well I hope you guys get the release in the method of your choice through Steam. I for one do not care for it but as Grimes rightly points out I can get it other ways through DL and on DVD as can others who are not interested in a Steam release. So far the numbers of people asking for it on Steam seem to be relatively small. Maybe if more people who want a Steam release would post here it might have a larger impact in bringing you what you are asking for. Can't hurt. Best of luck! Out

I think I remember some one at one time putting viable targets under/near static objects to use those as the trigger. Not sure if this would work or not though. Out

AMRACT includes: "Lots of stuff, descriptions, documentation and installation instructions will come later. Mission rotation depending on misson outcome, for example ingame events like killing key a2g or a2a targets, single or multiple. Picking random new mission, next mission, OR to next or prev mission depending on which side that wins the mission. Mission settings/scripts/trigges are put in Lockon/Objectives/ folder, named as 1,2,3,4,5.txt... .etc. (corresponding to the mission number in your missions folder. Specifying what airfields are respawn airfields is done by adding lines like: [AIRFIELD][bLUE][Kirovskoye] [AIRFIELD][RED][Krasnodar-Pashkovskiy] to your lockon/Objectives/1.txt,2.txt,..... Automatic server chat messages triggered by ingame events or timed. Can also be set as repeatable (both timed and triggered ones) For example server posts "Remember key objectives are ...." Winning the mission is done in a few different ways. If you have old versions documentation somewhere, it will describe how to set up a mission. AMRACT also rotates mission when all supply trucks at respawn airfields for one side is lost. (this is automatic when you have LRM installed on the server)." Copied from the first post as written by =RVE= Yoda. Details for LRM are also in first post. Out

Check the first post in the thread for full details on the features. No it does not create the missions but can do so much more to change the way the sim is flown and MP missions are presented and controlled. LRM and Amract together have completely changed the sim and the multiplayer experience creating an exquisite level of immersion and a real sense of a live environment. I encourage any that have not to look into them. Cannot praise these efforts enough. Huge changes, excellent work. Out

Welcome back! Out

Happy Birthday Trigger! Out

Happy Birthday Mike! All the best! Out

Welcome to the forums Mr. Macy. Your reputation preceeds you. I look forward to reading your books. It is an honor to have your input here. Out

Great work. Can't wait for release. Keep it up. And thanks! Out

Fast work addressing those issues Yoda! Thank you for the continued efforts. Out

Thanks for all the hard work! Downloading. S!

Wrong again. If you were having trouble with TIR at your buddys house you didn't know what the heck you were doing most likely. Literally almost everyone I know in the flight sim community has one and swears by it. I have 3 on 3 seperate machines and they all work flawlessly. None of the other solutions are as good or trouble free as TIR AFAIK. They are only one thing as compared to it....cheaper. In resolution, functionality, concept, hardware and software. After all they are just ripping off NP's concept to begin with. Intoning that we (the people who have purchased TIR) "are just brainwashed into thinking that Track IR is better because we paid $150 bucks for it and didn't do any research first." is about as legit as saying everyone who opts for the alternative you did is just a cheap sob. It just isn't so. We did our research and TIR is the original and BEST solution like it or not. Webcam solutions are not as accurate or robust at all in my experience. I didn't skimp on my HOTAS, My PC or any of the gear I use to fly with and I rate TIR as second only to a good HOTAS, as do many others who use it. That is testimony enough. We are rewarded with an excellent concept, design, and hardware and software that is supported by virtually all of our sims as well as a trouble free experience as a result of our decision to purchase TIR. Just because you prefer one of the free "chicken wire and chewing gum" alternatives as it does not cause you to have to invest as others have in thier hobby is not a good enough reason to spew gargbage about who has researched and who has not. Your clutching at straws on the subject of a device you obviously know little or nothing about. Out

You are also provided with deactivations as well. This will help to be able to remove then re-install on new/upgraded hardware with out using up as many activations. I upgrade my hardware often and am very happy that I can deactivate/reactivate the software.....Nice! Out

LOL! Good screenshot Hitman, Funny! Out

Got it.....Excellent! Thank you. Out

Not wierd at all for the collective axis. Just reverse the axis in the control options within the sim. Out

Double check file sizes to make sure you do not have a corrupt file. Re-download the files if there is a size mismatch. You might also try moving the folder with the setup and data1.cab files to your C: drive before install rather then running it from the desktop. Let us know. Out

Very true there is a lot you can do when you program the HOTAS rather then use DX buttons only. Mode switching, advanced programming, macros etc. The dx button programming is available for simplicity sake but with both the Cougar and the CH using the software is where the real power and versatility of these devices are evident. Out

Try to reverse the affected axis in the game input options. Out

Good stuff mate! Out

Guys, really sorry to hear that this is working out so badly. There but for the grace of God go I, as I was ready to purchase myself but had not quite made the decision yet when I saw this horror show thread some time ago. This is a very modest offer but any of the people here who have ordered these Mods for a Cougar I would like to provide free of charge a small Mod that replaces the screws in the joystick handle with alan head screws that really hold well. I bought these screws in 100pcs each packages and have quite a few to spare. This is a small and inexpensive mod but if you pm me your address I will send these out to you for free along with a link to instructions on how to install. I will pay postage to anyone in the USA and if not too much money across the pond as well. Again very sorry that this has turned out so badly for so many and I will keep hoping against hope that it works out for all of you in the end. This is for the most part an excellent community of people who help each other out all the time and this is my very small gesture to try to give a little bit back to those that have given so much and been left hanging in the breeze. Out

Congratulations on your purchases! I think you are going to be very happy! Out

Having a high end Alienware machine garantees nothing. You can have the best PC in the world and if it is configured improperly or you have software hardware configuration issues or even outdated drivers you may run into issues with any sim/Game. Best Approach as others have said here is to post the specifics of your problems, your machine specs etc. And dolloars to Donuts you will get some help and likely be flying this wonderful sim in no time. Don't give up, it is worth the effort. Update Directx and sound video card drivers to latest and try again. If this does not work post again with more specifics and I am sure you will get some good advice. Out

Worth every penny and plenty polished for my tastes. The MODS just add some butter to the bread. Out
