To practice set up a mission with a Hawk SR, TR and Launcher. Your pod will see the Search Radar from a long distance and you can kill it before you come into range of the launcher quite easily if you have some altitude. It is a good way to practice.

I hope it comes to Steam

This is an Iranian news agency.

I would buy that straight away.

I made a simple mission 4 hours ago to practice IL-78 refuelling and that has been 4 hours of tough work! Needs even more concentration than a dogfight. At least in a dogfight you know that you win some, you lose some. If I mess up refuelling it's all down to me. Well, 4 hours in and a couple of (minor!!) collisions with the tanker and I've basically got the hang of it. It's hard though. I bet there's some automated way I'm missing.

I love the Mig-15, I think it's one of the most beautiful planes ever. I really hope it comes.

yes and I can't find any light or switch for the ecm either

Thank you very much!

Hi all, I have a screenshot key bound and the sim does a micropause when I take a shot so I reckon that bit is working, but I can't find the screenshots afterwards. Which folder are they saved to please? Thank you ian

Silly question maybe but I take it you do have the Combined Arms pack?

OK it was me. It works without TrackIR but not with. Sure enough, something in TrackIR I never use was bound to F7. Fixed, cheers.

But talking to AWACS worked in 129 and now it doesn't.

Er what? Can someone please see if they can contact AWACS or if it is a new bug?

Fixed but not in changelog: The A-10A RWR crash bug. Tested with the Tor, no problems. Broken?: Can't contact AWACS orEWR using the F7 radio any more. Anyone else? I still get BRA reports from them but I can't talk to them now.

He's not too bad in a Cobra (order your wingie to engage him while you try and get close for guns) but he was murder in an AH-64D!

Hi all, The current instant action mission sucks a bit as the opfor is a bit haphazard and the Hinds get it first. Here is a new instant action mission (attached). 1) It goes in your /missions/quickstart folder. 2) It doesn't work with kiddie mode (the old mission remains for that) 3) As it's not a normal mission, there's no briefing etc. Just jump in and the target is about 9km ahead. 4) Please give me your thoughts .... do you play instant action sometimes, do you want new ones now and then?? I made this mission for some realistic but fun airstart action and as a quick demo if you want to show the game to friends. cheers, ian Ka-50.miz

You are welcome!

Thanks for feedback Thank you all for the feedback - it's very nice to know people have given them a try and I'll learn from the comments. Uhoh - on mission 2 it's much easier if you hit them before they reach Achara.

Attached is a 4 mission set that takes you through various missions covering a convoy of peacekeepers and civilians that is making its way through hostile territory back to Russian lines. The missions are aimed at beginner - intermediate and are as realistic as possible without being overloaded on units. They are designed to be played from within the cockpit only. The action is not concentrated around predefined target areas. The player will have to keep his eyes open during ingress/egress too. I hope you give them a go and enjoy them.
