Hi, Question 1: As a newbie using Falcon 4.0 Allied Force I've started the campaign. When I encounter a problem I try to read the manual and fly the mission again. I've searched a lot after information on how I can identify enemy aircrafts at Beyond Visual Range. I've tried to ask AWACS to tell me the picture, and they do, but I do not know if there are friendlies among those that are enemies at the position given by AWACS. Once I was tracking a target I told my wingman to engage it. Then "I" called out to him: "Attack SU-25 at bearing, altitude, distance". So it seems "I" knew what target I was tracking in the sim, but I did not know. Other times you might want to attack that MiG-29 and not the Antonov. But if they are in formation and you have only one missile left. What target do you shoot at? How do I identify what target I am tracking? Question 2: I've been looking at various add-ons. As of now I have only found three that seems usable: HiTilesAF Icarus' F4AF sounds Walmis's updated munitions In addition I've seen something called Free Falcon 5.5, but I'm having trouble knowing exactly what it does, even at their FAQ pages... Also some users seem to complain that is very unstable and the cause of lots of CTD's... Are there other add-ons I should consider? What is Free Falcon 5.5 in short terms? Thank you for helping!

Great answer! Thanks.

Migbuster, Thank you. Yeah, I've run through the training missions, and know fairly well how to use the radar in various modes. I also concluded that I wanted to use the realistic modes, and that is why I had problems identifying what targets appeared on the radar. I tried your advice, to contact AWACS asking them to declare the target, and that worked pretty well! But what do you do when there are no AWACS airborne? Usually there is one, but two missions ago all fields relating to the AWACS was greyed out, and it was not possible to contact them at all... Anyway, I guess usually they'll be there, so that solves my problem of identifying friend or foe :) About the add-ons. I've visited thegamerstools.com but can't seem to find any files in their files list. The list sais for example that there are 13 files in Sounds, but I'm not able to see any... The www.JanHas.net page was very good! A good selection of files there, however I'm a bit unsure if I need another add-on to run them? This is from the readme files: REQUIREMENTS: ------------- This patch requires that you run at least Falcon 4 with an add-on. What add-on do they mean? Thanks again.
