thank you Razorback [nl], Samek, and Syntaxerror for your help. I was able to start the huey with the instructions and the Home button. I just ignored 17.b and it started just like the real thing.

The one you refer to in the screenshot, is that 17a fuel switch or is it 17b start fuel switch? Your instructions refer to 2 switches, 17a and 17b. Or am I misreading. Now that I have gone back over everything I can't seem to find 12. smoke gage either. But I'm not worried about that because it is not a switch.

You mention in step 17. b. START FUEL switch -ON, just where is that switch located, I cannot find it anywhere nor can I find the ignition key lock switch, or the start switch. I have looked and looked and cannot find these items.

Thanks I'll try that.

OK, Lizzard, did exactly like you explained, went to mission editor, opened mission file, then clicked on the little icon on left margin that opened the window where you change the 50 to 100, then clicked on save (upper left) won't let me exit back to anywhere, a box pops up that gives 3 options, save to exit, no (unsaved changes will not be saved), or cancel. Will only let me click no or cancel. Have tried "save as", clicked on the disc icon, everywhere there is a place to try and save any changes, I have done all those and it continues to give me the box with the 3 choices when I try to exit the mission editor. When I try mission 7, we run in and fire rockets, then the leader and the other 2 choppers go into a hover at about 600ft near the friendly in the trees. at that point I try to hover with them and lose power and crash every time. I just want to bypass this mission and move on.

Mine locked too, won't let me save and return to campaign window unless I hit the "no" key when it asks to save to exit the mission.

Lizzard, I finally got the missions to load that you posted for #6-7. Now I just have to stop crashing when I land. Thanks for all the help.

Can anyone explain to me how to skip a mission in the campaign? I have tried downloading Lizzard's fix file, and deleted the old file then copy and pasted new file as instructed, and the friggin thing still flies a figure 8 pattern over the farp. I even got frustrated enough to try and shoot the leader down and the damn thing won't let that happen either. I was dead on top of him and saw the rounds hit his chopper and do nothing, nada, nyet, nuttin.

Excuse me for being ignorant, but just how do you get these attached files to game? I have saved them to my computer, and they appear in my downloads file but if I try to open them, I get an error message. I have also tried to go to the mission editor and eliminate the landing near the first waypoint, but it won't let me save the change. The other thing I cannot figure out is I have seen that some of you have skipped 6 and 7. Just how do I go about doing that as well?

You will want to buy the P51 as well :thumbup:

I have the same problem, smooth until I get close to the boom, then I'm all over the place. I'm thinking it has to be turbulance from the tanker. I have resigned myself to use the unlimited fuel option.

Word of caution about using Active Pause, just be aware, the only thing that pauses in Active Pause is your plane's forward movement. SAMS, enemy planes, AAA, etc all continue in the sim. I have been taken out several times while in active pause mode trying to find a target or while performing some other function. However, I must say, utilizing Active Pause has taken some of the frustration out while learning this sim. Whoever created AP was a saint. :joystick: AP=:thumbup:

Thanks Mr. Eastwood. ;)

Ditto!!

Thanks for all the answers. I guess everyone gets out of it what yhey individually want to get out of it.
