Not I.

 

I have another 9 hours at work before I can check it out...

 

[EricJ]

Well I'm doing the clean reinstall anyways...

[EricJ]

Confirmed, selectiing "Airfield" puts you rght above the airfield in flight. Perhaps another bad download?

I'm uninstalling Exp2 until this stuff gets fixed. It broke more than it gave. Msn Editor or not.

What does it do Eric, Im not tracking.....

[EricJ]

Well STORM it solved one problem

 

On a very serious note Dave, you simply appear when you start the mission above the airfield. Kinda like if a C-5 was taking off your airfield, and instead of the lumbering roll it magically appeared in the sky and flew off.

What do you have your settings on, start in air or start on airfield? Is this a user made mission?

 

I'm failing to see the problem....maybe I'm dense.

[+Dave]

EricJ Call me.

[EricJ]

You need sleep, wilco

[FalconC45]

Confirmed. I got my settings on "Airfield" but I'm starting in the air.

 

Falcon

[+Dave]

Confirmed too now that I understand

[+daddyairplanes]

[Wrench]

I'm waiting for Delta, as that hovering in the air bit being described is a serious show-stopper

in my little world.

 

I never start airborne, and never EVER near target...

[+Dave]

Anyone tried a campaign?

Confirmed, SoCal terrain at least

[EricJ]

Props too

[+Dave]

Props work!

 

Thank god...

[+CrazyhorseB34]

This thing is a freakin joke. DO NOT INSTALL THIS! It will only allow you to airstart and completely screws up carrier missions. Ground object secondary fire effects is fixed for me, also props are good. But, at the price of making the game completely garbage. The airstart only does not cut it and I am pissed.

 

DO NOT INSTALL THIS!!!! UNLESS YOU DONT LIKE TO TAKE OFF FROM THE TARMAC OR FROM CARRIERS!

[+Dave]

As usual, as of late 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. If the Tomcat sim is like this I am not buying it. This is a freakin' pain in my ass. I'm not spending another dime. I'll close this damn forum down and 3rd Wire can go into limbo for all I care. 8 years of being a fan and this is getting to be BS. Get some damn beta testers dammit.
