Hello all,
Got the game last week and have spent each evening since learning it. Is a bit hard with no manuals or guides I can find to print out and read like (a 'normal' game), but persevering and hopefully will be fun when I learn the in and outs of it.
In the first instance, it would be nice to have some kind of cockpit diagram for each plane. I'm flying a Camel and have to use the GUI dials cos the guns cover the virtual dials ingame and can't seem to find a way to use my mouse to look about and get a better view of things.
and sheesh, I can't keep up my altitude and speed with my wingmen when they leave the area around the airfield and having to resort to 'x' to catch up with em.
Anyway, enough blathering, I encountered a game killing problem tonight and I need help. I'm flying as a fighter and survived a few missions in my campaign until I got asked to bomb an enemy airfield. I set my 'release ordnance' to my preferred button, and ENTER is also still the default too. 4x25lb cooper bombs on my camel. Finally get too target, in good aim, press my bombs away button - nothing happens. Press ENTER, nothing - still got the bombs.
Died soon after :( Started a freeflight sesh with bombs and no button I use releases them. The only thing I can think why I can't drop my bombs is cos I'm a fighter pilot and not a bomber. Is this the case? If so, as a fighter in the campaign, how do I get around the bombing missions?
Any advice much appreciated. Also, if there's some guide for new players (never played cfs3 before either), please let me know how to get it. Love the genre, this game is impressive, but I need some real advice on a n00bish level, thanks :))
