Yes, this is meant for this forum. What I was asking is that if enemy planes land and take off? I haven't yet seen this? Also, when you go to land, do your wingmen do the same without you telling them to return to base? Or do you have to tell them to land? If you don't tell them to land, will they just fly around forever?

I am looking for the most realistic flight sim possible. I want to see enemy planes taking off from their airfields. Is there such a game? It would also be interesteing to see them complete their missions and return home, and this applies to allies as well. I have SuperPro 9.4, does enemy AI take off and complete missions, and then return? All in all I am looking for something that has some realistic flavor to it, unlike Lock On which has a very predictable and ridiculous AI. I want to see enemy and allied pilots alike make real time decisions and take precautions and exhibit, passive, defensive or aggressive behavior. Is there such a game?

Does this game have the enemies taking off from their home base, complete a mission, and return home and land?

Ty for the fast reply:D So in other words I should aim at the little circle instead of the t.d. box to get the best range and accuracy?

I also seek an answer to this question.

When I load some missions it tells me I msut load an (x) aircraft carrier file before starting the mission; how do I do this? Also is it normal for my aircraft to always tilt down and not being able to fly straight?

I am extremely confused... I recently installed usaf on my vista and have seen something called Superpro, it looks almost like an add-on or something? Can anybody explain what it is exactly in relation to normal usaf?

I am currently playing Jane's Usaf with Superpro 9.4. Great Game I might add. I was wondering whats the farthest distance you can be to kill a target using an aim-120. And how exactly do you kill a target from a far distance with it? I played the tutorial but it didn't make much sense to me. How do you know when to fire, like is there some sort of shoot cue? And are there any tips to improve my distance kills? Also what signifies Beyond visual range? How far away does a target have to be when you blow it out of the sky to be considered a bvr kill?

Yes works on vista. Drop downs will work after you dl and install the superpro 9.4 xp ui fix from GulfKnight's site. Anyone need to know my method for installing it? Got it working on vista absolutely flawlessly.

What I am doing is a sort of 'community battle', if you will. I am designing a mission to be flown, maybe several if I get enough participation, using community members. To participate is simple, just reply to this post with your callsign, (Ex. "MadDog") and specify the team you wish to join, and pick your fighter from the list. There are two teams, United States, and the Soviets. There will be two teams, 2 squadrons per team, and 3 pilots for each squadron, making for a total of 12 pilots. There will be one flight lead for each squadron who is responsible for mapping the course your squadron wishes to take to complete the specified objective, and also to specify the plane to be flown by the squad. I need 4 leads, 2 for each team, 1 per squadron. These spots will likely be taken up quick depending on participation so be sure to check posts made before yours to make sure there is an open position. For everyone else, just chillax. List of aircraft: U.S.A.: F-5E F-14A F-15C F-16A F-16C F/A-18A F/A-18C Soviet Union: MiG-23MLD MiG-25PD MiG-25RBT MiG-29A MiG-29S MiG-31 SU-27 Here is the map to be plotted specifically by the Team Leads and emailed to me, Pokeytrev13@hotmail.com. When plotting be sure to specify take-off point, waypoints, and landing point. If you wish you can specify altitude and air-speed if you wish, otherwise I will determine it for entertainment. A great program to map with is MSPaint; or whatever you should choose. The line-tool is invaluable. The Mission is a fighter sweep, total air superiority. When emailing me be sure to entitle the topic as "LOMAC Battle". I will then take the teams waypoint sheet and plot accordingly. Be sure to include, Callsign, callsigns of the members in your squadron, aircraft selection, and of course the edited mission image. Currently Signed up: U.S.A: Squadron A: Lead: Flight 2: Flight 3: Squadron B: Lead: Flight 2: Flight 3: Soviet Union: Squadron A: Lead: Flight 2: Flight 3: Squadron B: Lead: Flight 2: Flight 3:

Here is an example of what the squadron leader should e-mail to me when his team is assembled. All it is, is a simple edited image of the desired waypoints he/she wishes for the squadron to take.

I strongly encourage participation. I will take several screen shots after the battle has commenced and will post the best ones. You can rejoice when you shoot down another member of the forum and have a screen-shot to prove it. If this works I plan on continuing with more missions, and more complex mission types. All flights will be flown by the computer, I cannot determine the results. At the end of the mission I will also give a detailed analysis including kill tally and stats. Also I got the idea from a member of the something awful forums. The name escapes me.

I do know that if you press the 'J' Key you turn on your f-16's jammer. In order to confuse a missile you need to place the site launching the missile on your jammer beam. Here's my question. Where is this beam located? And How do I know if I am placing the beam on the site launching the missile? The manual said something about the beam being on your 3 or 9 aclock position, which isn't enough description to make sense to me, can someone please explain? Also post any tactics on how to dodge missiles, it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, great analogy indeed. Here is what I understand: When the enemy spots you it may be a good idea to turn it on as to avoid a radar guided missile hitting you. Is it then true that when you are done fighting the enemy you should turn it back off to avoid them trailing you?

So tell me this... Why not just keep the jammer on at all times? Or does it have some negative effects if you leave it on?

I am currently playing Usaf and my fpm always seems to move downwards no matter what... Is this common?

I was wondering what is currently, and what is projected to be the worlds best fighter jet? I have heard the f-22 raptor and some seem to think a new Sekoia. Opinions? Reasons?

True, I just bought a 7 day pass to gulf knight and am downloading it now... Is it compatible with vista?

1st one seems to be a default steerpoint display. Second one seems to tell me when i need to get there, im assuming thats what tos is for. And also eta is the estimated time of arrival? What is the 1st mode used for, and what about the second?

Ty so much DirtyBird, you have been very helpful. On the sweep missions, when is a good time to return to base? When you and your flight are out of missiles and guns and have no way of destroying or even scaring the enemy?

Ty both:D One more thing, when do I want to use those nav modes? Do I want to keep the tos one up all the time or just keep the other one up? Also, I try to take out mig-29's first, and/or other fighter aircraft. Now that you mention it I suppose I could have my wingmen attack some of them before I even think of it, which may have seemed obvious:( Furthermore, let's say I do run out of missiles on a sweep. Should I finish the nav points and land anyway regardless of the time and if awacs wants me to hold on because they wont relieve me? Or should I jsut kinda fly around bleeding time until the landing eta is met?

No question about that, there is no best, main;y because there are many factors; however, I am looking for input... Anybody care to put their 2 cents in?

Good suggestion however I do not intend on using an unlimited ammo option. Is the campaign still winnable? Basically I will be doing a fighter sweep and shoot all my missiles, which doesn't take long with the concentration of enemies. As such I do not believe the mission is passable because of the time alloted, which is way too long. What do I do at this point when I am out of missiles on a sweep? Am I at a misunderstanding? Also about the tos thing... I was just wondering what they both meant and when to use them.

Also one more question, how do your re-arm when you run out of missiles? Is this possible?

Check this pic out. Notice I am flying strtaight and my hud seems a bit to the right, is this right? Perhaps I pressed one of the many buttons on accident and caused my hud to shift? Check it out.
