Is anyone doing the campaign? I was reading the kneeboard and looking at the briefing pictures but the numbers given for beacons didn't work. Are they not NDB freq's?
The single player campaign is great fun. It's quite unique doing transport missions, chopping up rivers in the morning sun and landing at LZ's during peace keeping missions.
As much as I hate to admit it those stick movements do look exactly like what I'm doing when I fly. It seems you CANT learn how to fly the HUEY perfectly in a day. :megalol:
You can control the ground units (most anyway). Others you order around like a realtime strategy game. You can also order around air units but you dont directly control them normally.
Or you could directly control an air unit like the SU-25t and enable 'pilots control ground units' to order them around.
Combined arms simple mission:
I have another mission where I fly the black shark and use the map to move ground units somewhere...
I did the training to cold start, then took off: wow this is a handfull and nimble!
I flew around town and skimmed a few tree tops and then landed: wow a handful again but no damage in my first flight. Screw parallel parking this thing!
X-Plane 10 has awesome FPS and amazing scenery by default. It's heaps of fun with the economy plugins that let you take jobs and buy aircraft etc.
EXCEPT WHEN A GODDAMN BIRD RUINS YOUR FLIGHT AND YOU HAVE TO LAND ON A FREAKING HIGHWAY AND MERGE WITH TRAFFIC... ARRRGH NERD RAGE!!!!!
