- To cancel Dogfight or MRM override modes, press [c].
- To activate nosewheel steering, press [Shift+\].
- The key command for the Idle Detent Switch is [ALT+i], not [SHIFT+i] as stated in the manual. The idle detent switch can also be activated by clicking on the left-hand pinky on the throttle grip.
- Radar Contact flashing red? What it means...
- You see a black screen when launching F4AF and the Intro movie is not visible. - Fix located HERE
- My Weapons loadout and/or TacRef screen is black, HELP! Issue is with ATI/ nVidia and Anti-Aliasing. Read how to fix the issue HERE! or HERE!
Lead Pursuit: Lead Pursuit Website Lead Pursuit FAQ LP Third-Party Add-On Agreement: Allowed modifications are: - Models and Model Textures
- Terrain Textures
- Tactical Engagements / Training Missions
- Documentation
- ACMI
- Squadron Patches / Pilot Pictures
- User created content originating from and created by the FalconAF executable
If approved, they'll be distributed via the autoupdater. We hope everyone understands that a centralized and organized system of modifications is the only way forward. We cannot stress enough that Lead Pursuit remains totally committed to maintaining the highest levels of stability in both single player and multiplayer, and of course maintaining levels of realism too. People wishing to submit modifications need to download the TPAA form from our downloads section, fill it in appropriately and send it back to us via fax only at +1 512 275 3808. We're confident this is a great way for community developers to become engaged in the simulation and start to get those creative juices flowing once again. We're also gathering questions on the TPAA to prepare a FAQ so that everyone has access to the questions and answers so they too can participate in this opportunity to make their mark on Falcon 4.0: Allied Force. Please email questions to tpaa@lead-pursuit.com.

- CTD when using easy avionics and a contact leaves the radar display
- Intro movie is not visible sometimes when certain antialiasing levels are enabled - Fix located HERE
- Cockpit mouse cursor disappears when antialiasing is enabled
- Keyboard commands for rudder may not work when a joystick rudder axis is present
Known Issues: - TrackIR functionality in the 2D cockpit is odd. A good solution to avoid TrackIR use in the 2D cockpit is to pause/disable the TrackIR in 2D and unpause/enable it in 3D; this can be accomplished in a single button press with a programmable joystick or HOTAS.
- Additional NICs must be disabled when flying multiplayer on a PC with more than one network interface

Additional NIC's must be disabled Otherwise you will have connection issues as a client and the game will stutter horribly as a host.

I finally remembered to link this thread (and it took me a while to find it!) If you're interested in campaign management, depending on how hands-on you want to get, this thread is an excellent resource. My thanks to all the contributors herein: Nugget No Longer, or How the Campaign was Won

Ricardo ( http://f4-jock.com/ ) has discovered that the F-16 MLU's have internal jammers, no need for an external ECM Pod.

- Is it possible to land on a carrier? Neo has provided a nice writeup on his experience with a successful carrier landing and takeoff. I tried this myself but didn't manage to stop, so I turned it into a touch and go. You can see the video from my attempt in the 72nd VFW\'s Gallery . Just click on "Carrier landing attempt - by Coder" under the "Movies" section. - Is it possible to start a mission from a carrier? This does not appear to be possible at the current time. Perhaps this will be added in a future patch/expansion pack/etc.

Out of curiosity, [and not making a new thread] how easy is it to mod this game?
As in making a new jet with its VC and FM then import it into the game.
