I have tried playing falcon BMS 4.33 with keyboard and mouse only because I didn't have my flight set up, but wanted to get the sim running. It is possible and I managed to fly a campaign mission from the ramp and successfully bomb a target and return to base. Yes it's possible but annoying and you have no precision of flight controls. It's all or nothing. You can easily get a simple joystick that's not a HOTAS and fly just fine and still be effective in combat. You just need to learn keystrokes or where the buttons are in the pit.

Does anyone know what the advanced mode auto pilot does? there are several mode i know of like Alt. hold and Att. hold. plus HDG or STR hold, but there is a green indicator you can click which puts AP into ADV mode and the plane takes to a 15 deg. nose down Attitude. it doesnt seam to be to advanced, but im not sure what its doing.

Sounds like a good explanation to me. i guess ill have to do so playing around with it and the terrain following mode and see if that is what it does. Thanks.

Ok, i got a SS uploaded. http://combatace.com/gallery/image/21019-adv-mode/ hope it helps.

I'm trying to get a Screen shot uploaded but for what ever reason its not letting me. I'm using the stock cockpit that comes with AF.

Thats the autopilot settings in the game settings and i understand how those work. im using 100% realistic settings. while in flight there is a clickable button that activates AVD mode on the AP that makes the plane take a steep dive. Im tyring to upload a screen shot of it but Cambat ace wont let me at this time. the button is just above the AP switches.

I'm flying in the Korea 2010 theater and on the 3rd Campaign. After flying only a few missions i noticed that my based was getting crowded and landing was getting difficult due to frame rate. Also just trying to get your spacing to land at the right time with other flight landing and departing non stop was hard. I changed airbases and managed to count the planes on the ground on my last mission. There were a total of 60 planes on the ground waiting to take off and several more on final to land. I got a screen shot showing a Line of planes crossing the runway and even going off the air port property. There are a total of 49 planes in this one line alone. Anyone know why the game is doing this. It make missions difficult because any flight out of that base is majorly delayed.

That was my guess as to what was going on. just wondering if there was a fix or someway i can change the number of missions being flown. Ill try to get more screen shots just the show the craziness of this.

As far as I know were pushing them. The area we occupy is much larger than it is at the start of the campaign and Im only in day 2. This issue is only at the one base and im just flying out of a different one for the time being, but its still messing with things a bit.

Hey, In order to get Falcon to work online or multiplayer you have to forward some ports to your computer. I forget which ones they are but im sure the next poster will tell you. Its just been a long time scene i've had to do that There are severs out there running missions and flights. If you go to http://www.veterans-gaming.com/vg-plugins/forum/forum_viewforum.php?45 you should find some active online groups with frequent flights.

Here is my problem. Its been like this since I installed the game Any ideas

I'm up for it. I have a Hamatchi server if you want to join and we can fly there if we ever get time to.

I'm flying in a campaign and recently got into the 9th day of combat. HQ has stopped planning missions for me. I have built a few of my own missions in the mean time, but i would rather fly mission made for me by the combat simulator. Anyone know why these missions have stopped. I have only seen one planned mission in the frag order in two days. My player rating is going down causing the opposing force to gain ground. Do I need to plan my own missions from now on in order to stay in the fight or what?

I've tried that. changed mission priority so we target more ground units or facilities. Had no luck there. also have been making my own random missions hitting airbases and army bases. been do this fro to campaign days so i passed the two mission mark. the campaign is getting close to ending because its been going on more 9 days. mostly its waiting for ground units to move. north has no planes left and we have a ton of them. i guess its just waiting then. will keep with updates

I've noticed this as well but never mentioned it because it didn't bother me. The original Falcon 4.0 allowed 3 mavericks while AF all allows 2. Some mavericks only allow one per hard point. I haven't seen any fix for this but i can look and tinker a bit to try to find a way for you.

I agree with Jedi. Don't use 16 bit color. It looks much better with 32 bit. Also use the Hal rendering. T&L which mean transform and lighting like to mess with your graphics card. Especially Nvidia cards. As long as T&L is off and you are using 32 bit, you should have no problem.

Is it possible to get the get the aircraft from Free Falcon 5 into Allied Force? It is ok if the answer is no, i was just wondering because it would be awesome. I've tried a few things as far as changing files, but had no luck.

I have done this and do fly several types of aircraft in Falcon. I wanted the models from Free Falcon, not just the ability to fly other planes. I know that that is impossible to do.

Thats doesn't seam like it would work to well. TrackIR uses Inferred to track your head movement. You have to wear a special hat or head piece for the software to track. Im not sure how just a webcam could do it, but I'm sure it can exist. Keep in mind it would be the free version and maybe just for demonstration. I've never heard of the free version personally. http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/ Here Is the link to the TrackIR web site

Your Welcome. I haven't seen any fix or mod for this so I am sorry i can't help you there. I do agree with the advantages of looking around quickly with the 3d pit, yet for me i still dogfight in the 2d. It might just be something you have to live with and i know thats not the answer you want to hear. maybe some here can develop something.

Are you using TrackIR? I know Falcon built in a look limit because a real person could not look past that point either with out looking up to get to the other side. I generally don't use the 3d pit because i can do more with the 2d and it still looks great.
