MP Free Falcon 5 with hotfix
Anyone from subsim willing to fly together?
Perhaps with teamspeak if you don't mind my funny english accent as english is not my native I rarely use it in conversation. . I'm on GMT+7. I welcome everyone

As soon as I figure out how to launch AMRAAMs again I might well join in, I've had some success with Gunzos but my missiles don't seem to want to budge. Still, that's part of the fun, stumbling around in the dark trying to work things out. Tis for me anyway
Speaking of stumbling around in the dark, I'd better start brushing up my World at War skills for part two against Comrade Raptski. |

I need to do some refresher rides, then I'm good to go. I'm very familiar on how the Viper is operated in F4AF, so a few extra lessons should hopefully bring me up to date with FF5

There's a nice ramp start guide with voice over in Open Falcon. That's where I learned it. If you can start the Viper in Open falcon you can start a real Viper and if not for one missing button interface(to activate wheel steering) you could probably steer it to the runway and take off.

@Taskforce here's a guide to rampstart in FF5(a little less complex than in OF)
You must look for the mentioned button It's all done in 2D cockpit
Happy hunting

So anybody up for a flight together in FF5. For Vista users you really need to disable visual theme right click on shortcut, select properties, on compatibility tab tick disable visual theme and don't tick anything else.
In SP campaign mission and probably MP too we can only fly a single mission then we have to exit the game and come back in other wise there would be black screen or screen freeze. We can learn as we fly as well. I'm not that expert but I can teach a noob one or two things if he's not familiar with Falcon 4.0. I mostly just click on the cockpit. Memorizing keys is not fun and it's definitely not cool. Only have to memorize what's not there in the cockpit interface. Of course I fly the Viper(the F-16) almost exclusively in game.

I might be available at random intervals, for my schedule these days is a bit strange
If you want to today, I could probably play at some point over the next 7 hours

I think we have already established the fact that a quick hand to push Ctrl-E is infinitely more valuable than knowing how to land the plane intact...

Pffft I could land alright in Open Falcon 4.7. But when contacting the tower asking permission to land in FF5 they told me to set TACAN. I don't know how to set up TACAN. lol. Bloody air traffic controller..... Anyway setting up the campaign level at rookie is a guarantee that 60% of the time I would be shot down, 70% of that on ingress towards objective by SAM, 29% on ingress towards objective while being encumbered by payloads snatched by some enemy planes, 1% because of my stupidity to save on the fuel that I entered into a flatspin *&^*&%#!when trying to evade something. Actually 71% of me being shot down is because I want to save on the fuel, flying too low and too slow...if only I flew the Flanker.
