Hi guys, let me just say that i've been a fan of the series ever since the original "Su-27 Flanker" game, back in the days. I've just bought FC3, and i need some general help and info..
Ok, here goes:
1. I've started playing the МиГ-29С camping (Over the hump), and I got to the 3rd mission, where you need to scramble on a fighter sweep mission, with some other airborne elements. And there is a pair of Hinds that's going to take out enemy ground forces in the area, I guess... But they never do, because while flying through the mountain, most of the time they just crash into a hill... or one of the incoming enemy fighters goes diving from 8000 meters, full AB, passes by 2 friendly AI МиГs (who totally ignore him), and quickly sticks 2 Sidewinders (or a Sparrow, if it's a Phantom) in their tailpipes, and they don't even try to evade (but rather just fly a bit more and crash into a hill, if for some reason the missiles do not connect). Weird part is that every time a different fighter breaks off to get the Hinds, making me chase him, full AB on, burning through my fuel tanks faster than if a herd of hungry gypsies was siphoning kerosene to sell it for quick profit (boy, that МиГ drinks fuel as if I have a permanent "dump and burn" activated).
2. This one might be very dumb, but in the cockpit of the МиГ 2/3 of the instruments are on russian, but the warning lights, the hydro-pressure gauges and the map & airfield names on the pilot's knees are on english. Is there a way to have a fully russian cockpit, because me being a bulgarian i find it much more easier to understand abbreviations (such as ПОСадка; ВОЗвращение; ДВБ-БВБ, ШЛЕМ and so on). It's not a critical issue, but I'd love to have all-russian dashboard, for immersive purposes.
3. I have a weird issue with saving replays. I got hit by a missile, got my electronics toasted (and half of my vertical stabilizer torn away), but I was still flying. I got to the airfield, and even managed to land (with only 1 engine on fire). I was so proud of my 1st instrument landing that I decided to save the track and watch it again, to marvel at my amazing piloting skills. But when the replay got to the point where my plane was hit by the missile, instead of surviving, the МиГ just exploded, and the whole mission went into an "alternate reality" - things went very very different from the replay I actually saved. Another similar case - got behind a B-52, decided not to waste any missiles, went guns, tore the bomber apart with the ГШ, saved the replay (again, to marvel at my skills) - and then played it. And in the replay I did not land a single shell on the B-52, it kept flying, his fighter escort came to cover him, they shot me and I crashed to the ground. It's like the AI was using the fact that it's not a real human flying, and cheated.
Anyways, sorry for the long post, and thank you for sparing the time to read it!
