Thanks, supose its better than nothing (the not being able to trap part) Craig

http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.aspx?pId=15 if you scroll down to the bit about game details it states that the K is player flyable, I'd never heard this before and don't remember seing any missions for it anyone know more on this subject? I wouldn't mind bringing this bird onto the Zuznetzov

I'm pretty sure I've seen shots of Hornets hooked up to an S-3, though I have no idea if they were AI or if any fuel was actually transfered, heres hoping it can be done though

I've been trawling through the forums and found mods to fly the F/A-18 and F-14, though I havn't tried to get 'em to work, after having found these I went looking for some missions but didn't find anything. I'm not really looking for anything complicated, maybey just some training missions around a carrier with an S-3 tanker upstairs... that is if its even possible to use the US carrier Craig

I've ran into trouble with the Su-27 training missions, speciffically the radar training, no matter what I try the F-16 (s) will lob multiple Ammram's at me an toast me. The best I've managed so far is to kill the F-4 and down the Falcon at the same time it got me Anyone have any tips on evading these buggers Craig

well I gad a HD Crash so figured it was as good a time as any to do an upgrade... 1GB Ram Radeon 9600 256DD 3.2 Ghz (not installed yet but will be soon) still aint tried anything out yet though, got too much rebuilding to do Craig

to be honest I had no idea what I would need as far as a graphics card went, looks like its gonna be about 6 months before I can get this up and running thanks guys

I picked up Flanker 2.0 a few weeks back and was pretty impressed and would like to give lomac a shot, however I know it will cripple my system, anyone got any advice on what is required to run this sim at a reasonable level. I'm on a budget and I can live without counting the leaves on trees while passing bye at 500 knots :) you guys think 3Ghz, 80GB, 512mb would cover it? Craig

I just picked up a copy of flanker 2 for peanuts however its the DVD case with no manual, I figured someone around here may be familiar with the game and I'm looking for pointers. The learning curve isn't so much a curve... more of a brick wall Craig

I was reading somewhere a few days back that some guys were working on a way to implement photo taking as part of recon missions but that it couldn't be done yet. How about modded pits, say no radar screen and simply a hole with cross hairs. I don't know if this could be done and since I'm litterally 20 minutes into 3d moddeling (sidetracked at college...) I can't do this myself. Just a thought guys. Craig

If you want huge furballs try the F-14 missions uploaded a few days back, they are TK's (they came with the F-4J and A-4) but moddified to fly from carriers. The alpha strike is nuts, 20 or so Migs 8 F-4's and 16 A-4's. BTW love the second shot, looks like something out of Top Gun with everyone so close Craig

ok new problem... now none of the new missions work, in the selection menu they show up but the aircraft selected does not apear in the information window nor does any other information bar the title, this is after nothoing has been altered since last playing them. Even the unedited missions for the F-14 dont work

thanks guys, I appreciate it Before I tried this I edited the mission to use the Victorious and an FAA F-4J, I've been waiting for a game that would let me do this kind of flying in this era for years and after downing 4 Migs and evading a few SAMs then trapping on my first approach I have the biggest, and probably dumbest, grin I've ever had img00004.bmp

I've been able to launch F-4's, A-4's and A-6's in other missions so I don't know what I could be doing wrong. Is there maybey a way to increase the strenght of the catapult?

I just tried the new F-14 mission set available here, the thing is I can't launch from the Forestall, I reach around 80 knots and then go swimming Really wish I had a better understanding of what makes this game tick

thanks got it working now

what are you gus using to watch this? I'm using Win Media 9 and everytime I try to watch it I get a message telling me that there was an error downloading a codec... so I've only got sound Craig

Fair enough. Thanks for this bird, love buzzin around on the deck at 600knots Craig

Ok I know I've seen screens of it with the canopy open but I can't figure out the key combination, didn't see anything in the Readme and don't see anything in the commands option list... anotherthing, anyone know why I can't load nukes in the bombay of any 111, even though in the Data.INI it says NUC at this station and I can gt them on the wing pylons? I really love this bird, especially trhe 9 SQN RAF Craig

Got everything going right now... only thing is its steaming at 58 knots in another mission I edited with the waypoint data in your copy... Think I've got it sussed now though. thanks much Craig

I'm kinda new to this and was wondering what I would have to do to set up a simple one off mission allong the lines of the Movie, "Mig-28's" vs F-14's. Any one got any tips or know of a tutorial? Craig

tHanks I've got the Skyhawk working fine now Still the ship dosn't seem to want to go anywhere Craig
