Nicely done Beach, Ive spent most of my campaign swapping between squadrons and flying the different types, just because well you can !

Good to see the Beach format applied to a different type a masterfull report Sir.

Now I want to see a report from a C5 squadron flying a bus full of nurses around South of the DMZ

[stereotype]
What? The F-111's wings sweep automagically instead of manually, like the REAL plane??
I've no use for these arcadey GAMES.

Great BeachAV8R. Glad to come back to flying again, and see your mission reports.
Excellent work.

I have to add my 2 cents. Great report Beach.
Now comes my ?
How can I 1st. Get multiple cockpits to run in Falcon? I have all the Aeyes pits downloaded. ANNNDD. How do you switch what type of aircraft you fly?
Thanks.. I hope?
And again.. Thanks to Beach for all the effort. I have a hard time getting a screen scape to show off to my brother (who got me hooked, but has yet to run all the patches and updates) soo I like to rub it in his face. Cant imagine pulling together the reports Beach does.. GREAT WORK.

Thanks guys..

Crash n a lot - Nice handle! I should change mine to "Shot down a lot"..lol..

Generally I just follow the install procedures on Aeyes site. Before I touch ANYTHING though, I back-up my entire Falcon directory to another hard-drive so that if I end up porking something I can go back to what I had. At 70+ missions into the campaign I'm deathly afraid I'll screw something up and lose the whole thing .

Once you have the pits installed you have to go into the BMS or F4 Config editor (I think I use BMS Config Editor exclusively) and find the Aeyes cockpit folder and select what you want to show up in the game. After that, the pit appears automatically when you select that type of plane in the game. One note though..some pits of his are different resolutions..so if you try to hop into the F-111 pit at 1600 x 1200 you aren't going to get the F-111 pit. (That MAY not be the case with newer versions of BMS/FF3/SP4..there is something called a cockpit auto-sizer or something, but I'm totally unfamiliar with how it works or if it works with all of Aeyes pits). In order to get into the plane you want to fly you just browse around the airbases in the main screen before you enter into the campaign. You can change squadrons at any time during the campaign, just highlight the airfield and then browse through the squadrons at the airfield to find the one you want to fly. If everything works correctly and you have the resolution set to the right pit size, you'll arrive in the pit of that aircraft (if not you'll still be in the aircraft, but you will only have a F-16 cockpit).

Hope that helped a wee bit..I'm not so good at explaining the "hows" of Falcon...I'm more of a "what happened" guy..
