Perfect Su33 and Su27 upgrade pack. But I see that F15 is having problems to keep up with Russian planes!!!

 

Hell yaeh :thumbup:

No problems with the F15 here, maybe you need to fly against worthy opponents! or go online.

New FAQ entires as posted here:

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=866249&postcount=4

 

Q. Why is the Training menu empty?

A. Training is currently available as streaming video on the official Flaming Cliffs 2 website (http://www.lockon.co.uk). The site can be accessed directly from the Training menu of the game by pressing the “Download” button. We plan on making the videos available for download in higher resolution format soon and if possible, integrating them directly into the Training menu. There are currently no plans to make the training lessons available as tracks due to their tendency to break easily and playback incorrectly.

 

Q. Why do the radio transmissions in the F-15C campaign have no audio?

A. The F-15C campaign does not include recorded voiceovers for the triggered radio transmissions and only subtitles are used. You will still hear the normal AI-generated radio calls.

 

Q. How is re-arming and re-fueling handled in-game?

A. Re-arming and re-fueling is performed by ground personnel and accessed through the radio communications menu ([\] key by default). Note that ground support is only available on friendly airbases. Your home base will always be friendly. Other airbases can be friendly, neutral or enemy, depending on the coalition of units positioned on or around the base. Airbases can be “captured” by a coalition if at least one ground vehicle is present with 2 km of the base.

 

Q. It is possible to lose tower communications by destroying the control tower?

A. Yes. However, communication can be maintained by specialty vehicles positioned on the airbase. For Russian vehicles, this will be the CP SKP-11 ATC truck and for western vehicles it will be the M-1025 HMMWV. As is the case with the control tower, destruction of these vehicles will lead to a loss of communication.

 

Q. Is there a way to ripple-fire two “Vikhr” ATGMs from the Su-25T?

A. Yes. Press [LCtrl V] to enable Salvo mode. Make sure you hold the trigger down until both missiles are fired.

 

Q. Is there a way to permanently disable the “head roll” function in the cockpit?

A. Yes. Make sure you have a code editor such as Notepad ++. Open the view.lua file located in the \...\config\view folder. Change line 223, “head_roll_shaking” from “true” to “false”.

 

Q. Is there a way to map the controls for all planes?

A. No. Each plane needs to have its own profile, with the single exception of the MiG-29A and MiG-29G, which share all of the commands in common.

 

Q. Is there a way to save my control profiles so I don’t have to remap them after re-installing the game?

A. Yes. Your controller configurations are saved in the \...\Config\Input folder. You can back this folder up manually. Note, the entire Config folder is not deleted and remains intact when uninstalling the game.

 

Q. Why does my frame rate go down when I have the A-10A or Su-25T television monitor on?

A. With such a display active, the simulation is having to draw and update the world twice as often and this is a huge drain. To minimize, you can set your RES. OF COCKPIT DISPPLAYS setting in OPTIONS / SYSTEM to 256.

 

Q. My Saitek X65F throttle is not working correctly, what do I do?

A. We are awaiting copies of this HOTAS from Saitek so that we can diagnose the problem and fix it.

 

Q. Why am I having sound issues in the game?

A. There may be a number of possible issues. Here are the most likely problems and solutions:

 

1. I have no sound in the simulation, but the editor sounds ok.

The problem: FC2 uses sample rate of 44.1 kHz, instead of card's default and many Creative/EMU chips support only 48 kHz.

Workaround: locate "Config/autoexec.cfg" file in the installation folder and add the following line to the top of the file: sound.samplerate=48000

 

2. When in the cockpit, outer sounds are very low in volume or not audible at all.

The problem: When you're in the cockpit, only low frequencies of outer sounds are heard. Depending on your audio output system, the percieved volume may be too low.

Workaround: TO BE POSTED SOON.

 

3. Does FC2 support surround output?

Not yet. Only stereo output is supported at the moment.

 

4. Which audio card is best for FC2?

Any card will suffice. FC2 sound engine does not use any specific hardware feature.

 

5. I want to tune/replace the sounds and/or make my sound mod.

All sounds settings are stored in "Sounds/sdef" folder of the installation path. SDEF stands for Sound DEFinition and describes settings of the in-game sound sources. ".sdef" file without name contains detailed documentation. Please note, at the moment, support requests for user modifications will get lowest priority.
