I'm sure your right. It's a bit lacking in immersion though. It seems more like a lot of set piece battles rather than a campaign. Thanks for your comment.

I'm on the second chapter of the Georgian Oil War and I seem to be stuck in a repeating loop. I am tasked to do two missions and these alternate between defending a forward line of friendly troops, that are threatened by a breakthrough of enemy tanks and air defence units, and a recon mission where I have to fly up the coast, go to TP3 and TP4 and knock out 'high value targets of opportunity'. I am puzzled as to what is going on here? I have, as far as I can tell, just completed the first of these by knocking out the breakthrough tanks (If I hit the @ key I have the 100% mission success indicated). I order my wingman back to the FARP, we both land - but nothing seems to change. I appear to be not making progress. Apart from maybe the enemy line on the map is being pushed back. Is this what should happen? Thanks, any advice appreciated. Edit: OK, I have now discovered that I am making progress and I'm sure that the overall campaign is moving forward. I presume you could go in the other direction? By this I mean If you loose too many of the set piece battles you could loose the war?

Thanks miguez. It will take me sometime to digest this!

I know this is a very basic question but how do you do a 'Navigation position fix'? I have looked in the manual to no avail (if it is there I can't find it). Thanks.

OK. Thanks for your comments. If it happens again I will re post.

Mmmm! Difficult to say. It's only happened a couple of times. Both in the middle of a fire fight with lots happening. Eplosions, gunfire, radio chatter etc.

Thanks for the prompt reply. My sound is onboard, RealTek HD Audio, on a Foxconn P35AP-S Mboard.

Help please! I was playing through the second mission in the Georgian Oil war - with no apparent problems - when my PC locked up completely. Sound was still working but the game (and my pc) had frozen. Only way out was a Ctrl-Alt-Delete followed by task manager and 'end program'. From memory this has happened once previously in the Deployment Campaign.

Thanks for the comments. Appears to be the norm.

Phew! Just finished my first mission in the Georgian Oil War. I discovered that I had succeeded by pressing the @ key to check on my progress. My question is: I did not appear to get the usual message informing me that I had succeeded (as in the previous Deployment Campaign). Is this normal or just a glitch? Thanks again.

Thanks for this. It is probably the answer. I like the idea of setting the pitch slightly forward to get the nose down. I suspect that most of the instability comes from repeated attempts to fire guided missiles when the nose is too high (i.e. I nudge forward to align the target recticule and as a result introduce instability into my hover). Thanks to all for comments.

I have an occasional problem (but too frequent for comfort) where I get myself into what appears to be a stable hover. I go about my business of targeting and knocking out the enemy only to find myself drifting away from the target area or sometimes spinning. I usually have to stop what I am doing and waste precious minutes getting myself back into position and restarting my attack. Usually the lost time/effort works against me and I end up compromised once again. My question please is are there any techniques for stable hover that I maybe overlooking (while targeting). Thanks.

Thanks for the D-link suggestions I will see if it helps. I am glad that someone else thinks that this first Georgian Oil War mission is a 'bitch' Edit: OK, I'm getting into this (what a great game!). Almost there but no real idea of what the 'success' criteria is. Do you have to knock out all of the enemy units to gain a ‘success’ At present I'm flying around without really knowing what I have to do to succeed?

Point taken barra733. Maybe it's time to make my wingman step up to the plate.

Ok, I have recently completed the Deployment campaign (but still feel very much a 'rookie'). After a couple of days off I have now started the Georgian Oil War (version 1.1). A question please - Is this campaign a step level increase in difficulty (or is it my imagination)? I have had 5 attempts at the first mission and have yet to make it last more than a few minutes before I get toasted. I am ingressing at not much more than ground level but it does not seem to help - I get more ordinance/SAMs' fired at me than I can handle. Any advice appreciated.
