Just randomly searching forums, so a bit late to reply on this, but for a realistic feel I use the weapon hold ROE for the AI, then set weapon free at a random waypoint. Pretty nice to fly alongside an A-50 flanked by a couple of Su33s that ignore you completely whilst you get in close, take a few pictures, flip the bird or whatever. Then suddenly they turn on you, never know if they will…or not at all ! Even more realism, weapon free if you damage one, or enter enemy airspace.

bumping this question - anyone ??

Does anyone know if the padlock settings are in a LUA file. I want to be able to edit them so that, for example, the FC3 solid green crosshair is either no colour, or fades out like the WWII padlock symbol. :smartass:

Editing padlock visuals Does anyone know if you can edit the padlock visuals ? I'm still running 1.5, but assume it's still similar in 2.5. e.g. in FC3 any target that I padlock maintains a green crosshair. For the WWII birds, the crosshair appears briefly and then fades out (which is much more preferable). I've tried looking through a few of the bazar and view LUA files, but nothing obvious.

I know that 1.5 isn’t supported anymore, but does anyone know if the clipped wing Spitfire be available on it ? I just cannot get 2.5 to run with any decent frame rate.

For solo fliers like myself it would be great if you can create a player audio file similar to the wingmen to call out specific actions. E.g. Fox#, splash one, good kill, I'm hit, ejecting etc. The wife pees herself when I get into the zone & start shouting out my actions to the TV. It'd make the game more immersive in single player.

Any chance we can have a simple "look straight" view button as well as the current centre view ? I set my head position by moving back so that the cockpit looks good (zoom out distorts the FOV). However, if I look around and then centre view, it also moves the head position forwards again. If it's a simple addition would be great. :thumbup:

Any chance you can make that an idiot's guide ;-) What difference does choosing S (guess min/max) or Z (centre ?) do ?

Hi, I copied a mission to test frame rate in 1.5, but the Aim-120 on the F-15C didn't come across. Has the weapon update rendered old layouts obsolete ? Can the final version port old missions without needing to check the layout of every plane to see if they're still valid ? Rob

Hi, just changed Ka-50 cockpit to English. All ok except Abris which went to Russian, as did the warning speech. Rob

Is there any hud symbology / cockpit indicator that the ALQ-184 ecm is active in the A-10A ? I've searched these forums and manuals, but cannot tell if I've activated it or not. SAMs certainly give me no indication as I'm constantly blown from the skies. :cry: Strike that - found the ECM panel for which the toggle switch seems to be permanently on. I assume when the lights are on (various threat types) then it's active. Sorry if you're reading this !!

Cheers guys. I didn't realise the triggers are kept elsewhere. I copied all of the other campaigns as single missions so that I can dip in & out of them (F-15C, BS2 etc) as I'll never have time to play through them all properly (married with kids 'n all that). They seem to play ok, so hopefully I'm not missing out on too much if triggers are missing ! Anyhoot, thanks.

Does anyone know how to change Miz files from read-only to read-write ? The Su-27 Ultimate Argument campaign has locked files. I can edit & launch from mission editor, but cannot rename the file & save elsewhere for later.
