Honestly I just kept on repeating the shooting mission in the training tab. The only bit of advice I could give is to map the joystick to how you like it. Oh and just turn on auto hover and take your time, these guys don't shoot back.

Okey dokey. I have passed my basic training...well sort of. :) A big thankyou goes out to the people here who have helped me. It's refreshing to find this on a site instead of the usual "read the manual" crap that you have to put up with at a lot of places. Yes I have studied the manual every night for the past few weeks. I now know how to shoot things, flying for me is the easy part as I'm a pilot but the gunnery range was a learning experience. Now I have to learn the datalink gear but I have a yearning to go and kill things so that can wait. :) Anyway I just thought I would thank those who have helped get into the game by helping with the basics. Hopefully soon I can get into multiplayer and we can go and kill things together. :D Now I only need to find out how to change skins, update graphics etc... The learning never ends.;)

Time to read up on your physics. :book:

Are there any tutorials on the mission editor? I can get a KA-50 but I can't make it flyable. I have read the instuctions for it but that's more for setting a campaign than making a chopper on the pad scenario. Yes the rudder isn't stable in the axis tune tab. For some reason I can't calibrate the G25. I think that's a logitech/windows problem. EDIT: Fixed, I have found the fly mission button. :) I find that occasionally the documentation gets too in depth at times. I'm aware there is a reason for that but I think sometimes they could add a stripped down section to explain some of the simpler things.

You've never seen a dump'n burn then? It's quite impressive if you've never seen one. It is accomplished with a massive fueldump into the tailpipe.

Very true, a good friend of mine died in a Jetranger due to an icing related flameout. It could be that you pulled too much power and sent the engine temps beyond limits attempting to unstick yourself. I was playing around during training the other day and my machine exploded after I ignored an engine vibration warning on #1. :pilotfly: I have found in this game you ignore warnings at your peril.

Yeah I got that thanks. I did get it to work but once I activate movement left or right the rudder then stays in that position. I need to find out how I can setup a free flight scenario where nobody is shooting at me so I can set my controls properly. I'm currently reading the manual to try and work out the mission editor. :book: Flying the machine is a doddle for me, it's the rest I need to catch up on. :) +rep for your help.

Hi Nemesis, thank you for your post. I have tried your suggestion, which is how I was doing it anyway but I played with it a bit more this time. What I have found is that I can select any button on the G25 to operate the rudder but no axis selections work, even if I try the wheel or the pedals no axis gets assigned. It seems to me I am missing something. Is there a setting I need that changes between buttons/axis for the controllers? Thanks. EDIT: As far as I can tell the add assignment screen only has provisions for buttons/keys and nothing for axis.

Hi guys, I have just purchased this game after I found it on the net. I have never played lockon or games from this company before so I'm not really familiar with how things work with their software. I jockey around all day in an AS355 so flight isn't unfamiliar to me, I bought this game for the shootem up aspect. :) Getting my head around munitions/targeting systems will be my downfall.:book::lol: First question is, I have a Microsoft sidewinder usb FF2 joystick and I've had no trouble assigning functions to it, but I also have a Logitech G25 racing wheel and I thought it would be nice to assign the rudder pedals to the G25 pedals but when I select the G25 in the setup screen and try to assign the rudder to them I get no response when I push the pedal. I know I can use the twist function on the joystick but that is really unfamiliar to me and would prefer to use the pedals. Can anyone help me set this up please? I hope I can get my head around the shooting aspect and join many of you out there. ATM it's training, training and more training. ps. The trim function in this sim is nothing like I'm used to. In my machine it centres the stick to take the constant load off. Usually you would select it in straight and level cruise and switch it off for manouvering, here it seems to be intertwined with the autopilot. EDIT: Is there a tutorial on how to replace the skins? I watched the airshow replay and really like the skin that's used there. I would love to get it and from reading through the MODS section I get the impression that changing skins isn't easy. Also is there a section on KA50 skins I haven't seen one? Sorry I have so many questions already.
