Hmmm maybe I wasn't to clear on what I meant. I understand the squadron controls when your flying, but I want to know what you can do as The leader of the Whole squadron on the ground, IE aircraft assignments, and who is flying what mission and stuff. If I remember Red Baron 3D the on ground control on your squadron before the actual flight time was pretty elaborate, I just can't remember what everything was you could do. The only game that I know that beat out Red Baron 3d in this aspect was The WWII Bomber Sim The Mighty Eighth. B17.

Just ordered this game, and a copy of CF3 also to play it since I can't find my old CF3 CD anywhere (long gone it seems). Anyway my question is this since I really don't remember CF3 all that much or its features, but my most favorite game was RB3 for WWI combat. What I like most about it was the control you had over your squadron if you were the leader IE the people you bring on missions the amount of people flying etc. Does OFF have a simular system like RB3? Ie what can you control in the squadron if your the leader of the whole thing? I can't remember all the features of RB3 but I do remember it was pretty epic in its control of off mission features like squadron control and stuff. Just wondering because I can't wait, and need to keep my mind busy. I also have Track IR 5 so hopefully it works good for OFF. Also have windows 7 so hopefully that won't be a problem. I see it runs under VISTA without too many troubles so Win 7 should be even better. Anyway thanks. :)

Just wondering do you ever get new squad members in FE? Just played a campaign and I made it through 6 missions until I died (stupid intercept bomber mission) Anyway the very first mission I lost 3 squad members and at Mission 6 they had no replacements. Do you ever get new squad members in a campaign? Next time I go against an intercept bomber mission... I'm taking the whole squadron (whatever I have left) 2 vs the back firing of those bombers sucked. LOL.

I take it you can use the Target Reticle in the Hud as your refrence point to keep the Lock on with the Sparrow?

When bombing how the heck to you know what your hitting? When I use the \ key to select my bombs or Rockeyes or whatever. All I have is caged Target reticle. I have no idea on how to hit something. Doesn't any of these planes have a target assist piper, or some sort of Release level flying automated computer? Feels like I'm flying a million dollar WWII plane with Jet engines. Also the Aim7 I know the thing was a pos in this time frame. But I mean I think I have only hit a plane once out of 25 shot so far. Whats the secret to this thing? I figure that once you see the yellow box surround your target (after you put radar into bore mode) that means its ready to go right? What am I looking for, or do wrong. The AIM 9 has the nice sound to tell me when to launch. The Aim 7 has nothing it seems. Getting a little frustraded with this.

Can you use these packs with strike fighters 2?
