Hi All: This weapon has me stumped -- I am baffled as to how to use it. Every time I select a ground target and fire a Bullpup at it the missile simply plows into the ground well short or well long of the target. If I manage to hit anything, it is solely by accident. The mission log states "Capt Pilot fired AGM-12 Bullpup at (unknown)," which seems to suggest that I haven't properly selected the target. Could anyone provide some tips on how to use this weapon? Thanks, Eric L. Howes

Silverbolt: Thanks, but those are exactly the procedures that I've been using from various altitudes and distances from the target, all with no success. FWIW, I did finally get it working. I changed the "Weapons" difficulty in Gameplay Options from Hard to Normal -- magically, the Bullpup now behaves as expected, tracking to the target instead of plowing into the ground as if completely unguided.

Folks: Quick followup: in my testing AI pilots don't have much more success with the Bullpup than I do, but they do seem to be able to select targets. Mission log reports their attempts with the missile as: "Lt. Rasimus fired AGM-12 Bullpup at Bridge End," and so forth, not "(unknown)" which is what I get. Eric L. Howes

Folks: Thanks for the replies. I understand that the Bullpup had a number of problems and was not a favorite among pilots. Nonetheless, several missions in YAP1 (and, presumably, forthcoming missions in YAP2) use the Bullpup, so I'd like to get a handle on it. I've now tried firing the missile from higher altitudes and greater ranges from the target -- same problem as before. It plows into the ground without tracking to the target, and the mission log reports I fired the missile at "(unknown)." I'm starting to wonder if there's something else I need to do to select the target so that the missile recognizes it. Any ideas? FWIW, I've been testing with the YAP F-100D, but I've seen the same results in the F-105D. Thanks, Eric L. Howes

CA_Stary & Brain32: Thanks for the info -- very helpful. Best, Eric L. howes

Hi: I've got a question about two of the custom settings mentioned in the GreenHell v. 2 ReadMe: DetailMeshSize NormalSceneClip Where are these settings? Which INI file? I can't locate either in VIETNAMSEA_data.INI. Do they need to be added, or are they in some other INI file? Thanks, Eric L. Howes
