Few questions

[kbullet]

Hello,

 

I'm new to this game and im still learning bit by bit so i have several questions.

 

Well i installed the mod all flyable from combatace's website, and even Majesco's F/A18 mod but i cant seem to figure out how to get it working in a custom mission. The pilot section only has the AI options. So when the mission start I cannot fly it but the AI does. Though I can fly the F/A18 in the main menu section on the default mission. So how do i overcome this?

 

Another question is airial refueling, I've given the KC-10 refueling task and waypoint of refueling, but when i get close to it how do i request for refuel cause it wont lower its boom :( so i end up shooting it down instead everytime i try :/

 

Last but not least how do i create a mission to takeoff/land from a carrier?

 

I'm using the saitek Aviator AV8R-01 does anyone have a profile for this joystick that i can use?

 

I'm running FC 1.12b

 

Thanks in advance

For the carrier part, put the carrier somewhere, then put your plane on top of it, and change the waypoint setting to Take Off. It should change your plane's icon. Same thing for landing: put a waypoint on the carrier, then change the WP setting to Landing, and the icon should change.

Thanks pod, Though if put an F-15/A-10 on the CVN-70 it wont let me and it will move the aircraft to the nearest airfield, since i dont think they can do carrier takeoff/landings so how do i create a mission with a flyable F-14 or F/A-18?

 

much appriciated.

When you create a custom mission, you must set the player Skill to 'Player' from the drop down listbox for you to fly it.

I think you need to open your fuel panel. Press R to open it I think, then fly close to the boom and when you are close enough it will extend the rest of the way and connect. Let go and let it refuel till it's done.

I don't know this mod, but I assume if you want to takeoff from a carrier you need to have the F-14 or F/A-18 be a aircraft that can takeoff from a carrier in the game. Like the Su-33 I think?

Yeah that's the problem, it doesnt exist, it only got Good,Excelent AI skills no 'Player' :( The text is also not yellow like the flyable aircraft.

 

I'm sure i have the mod installed properly, i tried both modman and do it manually by just overriding xml file

You can only fly flyable aircraft in the game, so if you want to see 'Player' as a Skill in the list, you must select a flyable aircraft.

 

I assume your mod overwrites the files for an aircraft like the Su-27 so that it looks like an F/A-18 on the outside, but not in the cockpit. If that is the case, then you would select the Su-27 in the game, and then set the Skill to Player. :smilewink:

ah oki i get it now, i thought the all flyable mod, made all the aircrafts flyable, guess i'll just have to use individual mods for certain aircraft

 

thanks alot
