My Fing ID

Thank you, that was totally it. I was trying to engage a slow moving cargo plane, and was well underspeed.

I'm assuming it's the AoA anyway. I'm flying the attack version (the one with an onboard cannon) and I'm can't get the gun to fire. I'm assuming it's because the yellow AoA indicator is constantly on. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get it to shut off. I'm tried flying level, up, down, sideways, nothing gets it to turn off, other than occasionally it'll shut off seemingly at random. That random time period is rarely when I'm behind a plane that is shooting out flared to disrupt my missiles, so I keep having to force myself to land rather than ram it while continuously clicking the trigger. So, any ideas?

Figured I'd just leave this here: It's a lot of me talking but the engine is louder. The only thing I really heard from myself was "this would be scary in real life". Anyway you only get your first attempt to start and fly an aircraft once, and this is the only one I succeeded at. Old vid, hope no one was looking to this to learn how to fly the damn thing. Does go to show what a bunch of flight simulator experience can do though! [ame] [/ame]

I don't know for certain but much like the BFV I'd assume separate magazines. I'd also assume that the HE mag is set to fire with an elevated barrel due to the weight difference between the different rounds.

Unfortunately I'm not help but I am going through this too. I bought Blackshark years ago from Direct2Drive (now owned by Gamefly) and the serial number doesn't seem to work with Steam. The Blackshark 2 upgrade doesn't want to work either (of course that whole ordeal was a nightmare to begin with). If I have to I'll just wait for another sale and pickup Blackshark 2 for 75% off (my cat eats cords so my flight gear unfortunately lives in a closet most of the time thus no rush) but if there is a quicker solution I'd love to hear it!

Ah, see this is what happens when you push strange buttons lol. Got back in the thing, man what a great sim.

OK, just found the answer a little bit further down the page. Delete this or leave it so next time someone searches this will pop up. Anyway I guess the answer is to delete saved files. Following thread has the info. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=70966

If go through the motions about the time you're lined up on the runway and ready to take off, that switch is ready to go. What can I say, every mission is THAT important that I cannot wait... or be bothered to ask for clearance.

Hey all, finally got rid of the beta and into release! If this were any other company I'd add an obligatory knock about how now that it's out of beta I can't get into the game but I have a lot of respect for ED. Anyway when I try to assign, or even clear an axis on the axis assignment list and then hit "ok", I get a big LUA error and things go nowhere. I can post a screen shot if that helps but if anyone knows of a quick fix or if I'm doing something stupid please let me know. With my computer upgraded and release finally on my system I can't wait to get up there and drop some ordinance!

Rockets are fired by the weapon release button which fires all weapons other than the gun. To select weapons use your left MFD. Can't recall which button it is but just keep pushing buttons on the bottom until the weapons management screen comes up. Click the button next to the weapon you want to select and have fun. Remember to make sure you're on the correct weapon mode before you deploy weapons. It's one of the joystick buttons. You still need to go through the manual though. Look at the buttons on the stick and throttle and map as many as you can. You need the DMS and TMS hats (whatever they're called) for certain. You'll also want to map the mouse on the throttle because you're going to use that a lot with your map system and targeting pod. I think it's the 'master switch' or something like that, you want that too. Obviously you want weapon release and 'fire cannon' as well. The first stage of the trigger stabilizes the plane but I don't think you need that. Helps a ton though. Anyway read and work on one weapon system at a time. You'll get this plane down before you know it.

What better way to get past a SAM!

My Fing ID is easy to remember. All I have to do is think "gee, what's my f***ing ID..."

cool ty. Sorry I didn't even notice the patches part lol.

FFXIV sucked me in and I haven't been flying lately. Is there a patch or is it full download only for the upgrade. I also assume something has been done about the limited registrations, right? I heard Mavericks are in action so I can't wait to play with the JTAC and blow up some sh, well you know the rest.

Yep no going back. Once you use the TIR you'll feel like an idiot every time you try to play without one because you'll be moving your head around and wondering why the screen doesn't move with you.
