The fact that you have to practice that much makes it hard, no? That point thing is a bugger bear... edit: cool, I just doubled my posts today from the last four years....

I do not post often (or ever) but this topic comes up a lot and it really bugs me to see the "get gud noob!" comments. Before anybody gets their feathers ruffled let me explain: AAR is NOT easy...it may be for some of you but that does not mean it is...For example, I play music. Guitar, Bass, Keys etc. If I told you that playing "Tom Sawyer" by RUSH is easy, that would be true for ME, maybe not for you but I have been playing music for 35 years. I also have been flight simming about that long, essentially since there were computer flight sims (F117) I have 2,000 hours in FSX (with A2A, Majestic, and other "complex" planes) and hundreds of hours in DCS and IL2. I don't fly MP because 1) my computer is a bit on the old side and B) I am a terrible pilot. I practice AAR quite often and I am now able to semi-reliably refuel the A10 but in the F14 I just can't get it (yeah I know this is about F18, I haven't even tried it yet)...I hope to one day "get gud" but some times I just want to shoot stuff. Again I am not singling any one out or trying to start an argument, everything that people said is valid, check unlimited fuel and practice, practice, practice etc. But just stop with the "it's easy" and "u no gud at MP" stuff...for some of us it really isn't easy.

Same issue here...

Vaicom will add the special F10 commands as an "action" if you run the mission once ( you don't have to play it, just start it) you then have to add them to the command list through the configuration window - edit - finish, dialog. After you paste the new commands into the Edit Profile page they will show up as (for example) "Action Check In" or "Action Fence In." It creates a little extra prep work but allows you to be completely hands off on the radios...I am pretty sure the manual outlines the process.
