Hello everyone, I'm curious about navigation in FC. In FC, we navigate using the waypoints. Now that is not complicated but I'm curious to ask, if these planes are modeled with 80's ish technology, how does the plane determine where the waypoint are? I'm guessing that the technology that is modeled is pre-GPS. I guess you can assign a coordinate to a waypoint, but how does the plane know it's relative position to such waypoint without a GPS? I tried searching the subject, but only found info about what the navigation computer and autopilot do, but not a clue on how it operates. Anyone with knowledge mind explaining?

Hmm, I was curious to see opinions or reviews on the combat systems and procedures that are modeled, as in each plane's flight modes, radar, etc. Wasn't it said that FC added a very accurate representation of the Su-27 radar? I think I read something like that a long time ago. Flight modeling can be very hard to critique, but the modeling of weapon systems is more objective, I presume.

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if there are any reviews of FC by actual pilots of any of the aircraft. (most probably A-10 or F-15 for USA). I would like to see what someone with experience on any of the modeled aircraft have to say, but more than a "I like it" or "I don't like it". While I can review a civil flight sim from personal experience, the closest I have come to "combat" is chasing a piper warrior on the traffic pattern :D All I know about FC is that the main focus has been put on the combat aspect, and not so much on avionics (all about to change on BS as far as I can see). I'm curious to see what some fighter pilots say about others aspects. Thanks

Hello everyone, I am relatively new to FC. I was thinking about downloading some missions and campaigns. I have found many sites that have them, but wanted to know if there are any really good ones that have that are highly regarded, or if there is someone who is known for making the best around? I like missions that are realistic, as in missions have been well though out and built, air defenses set up, and well balanced, not just your plane against the world. On a side note, there used to be a theater setup mission for Flanker 2.51, as in a mission that had no planes but it had the sides, air defenses and soem objects placed, so that you could build your own missions and save some time. Anyone know of something like that for FC? Thanks in advance!

I know it's a dumb question, but can this weapons mod be installed over FC 1.12a? I get confused since the readme says FC 1.1. Thanks...

Hello everyone, I'm having a weird issue when mapping commands to my joystick: Comands are copying themselves from one mode to the next, and understand that should happen only if you program something in the "all modes" category, it should copy to all modes, BVR, VS, etc, but here's what happens. If I go to set a joystick mapping in "BVR" for "radar on" to Button 6. The assignment should be made only to "BVR" and NOT to every other mode, but it does. What happens is that the "radar on" button gets mapped for all the following modes: VS, Helmet, etc, like if I had mapped the commands on all those modes. That is very problematic, and I would appreciate any help on the matter. Thanks for reading. What the problem leads to is that I can't take advantage of all the different modes, since any program assignment I do on BVR will copy itself to the rest, and no I am not making these assignments to the "all modes" category, I know that in that case it should carry on to every mode. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks...

Sorry.

Wrong forum, sorry. Should have been Tech Support.
