Immortality won't work (FC2)

[winz]

Onlu SU-25 and SU-25T uses AFM...

Ok....so I'm just now being told that only the Su-25 uses "AFM".....I thought AFM applied to all ground-pounders...no one has bothered to tell me what the bloody hell AFM stands for.

 

And why was this "feature" considering immortality not mentioned in the documentation that came with the game?

[Konovalov]

Yep only the 25's have AFM. It's a little clumsy that you can set immortal however it is overridden if you fly either of the 25's. Can't say I have come across this being mentioned in any of the documentation but at least I know now.

[Jinro]

It seems a bit clumsy to me that only two aircraft in the entire game are so drastically different from the other 5.

Jinro,

Back in the original Lockon not a single aircraft had the AFM, at least that is what I think was the case as it was quite a few years back now. It was only with the unofficial Flaming Cliffs addon disk that the AFM was introduced into the Su25T/SU25. Yes it is a shame that the AFM wasn't extended to other aircraft within FC2 but that is the way it is. I guess ED were working on DCS A10c and/or other priorities. I still think there is plenty of content and mileage to be found in FC2. And only now am I getting into it having sorted out my computer and I'm having a blast. Just need to get around to programing my X52Pro. :joystick:

[Jinro]

I really haven't bothered programming my x52. The only "programming" I did was through the in-game settings. I would get much better mileage out of FC2 if AI SEAD would do it's job and my Su-25 wouldn't get shot down by SAMs....which are impossible to see due to the Su-25's horrid visibility. I may just have to edit the missions to my liking, which has been taking up 80% of my "play time" recently. I've spent less time actually playing this game than I have just trying to get it to work right.

Next time, instead of being a :smartass:, ask what it stands for. Will save you the embarrassment of being found to have been ignoring the answer to your own question all along.

Sorry but missed this when replying with my iPhone yesterday.

 

AFM stands for advanced flight model and it was introduced in the Flaming Cliffs addon and continued in FC2 with the Su25 getting a better 3d model I think to match the T variants level of detail. It is as mentioned previously only for the SU25 vanilla and T models. I don't think that the AFM is up to the level of DCS Blackshark but I'm sure the developers could confirm that.
