- 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... - Dead Link need updated information if available
- 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!
- Fly any aircraft in Campaign, TE or Dogfight.
- Takeoff Timeout, being bumped back to UI.
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.

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.
What WW2 Fighter pilots say about Angels and Airspeed:
"Nice job of getting down to the basics - love your choice of a cover!" Col. Clarence 'Bud' Anderson
"I have enjoyed reading angels and airspeed, it should prove good reading for all interested in combat tactics and their application related to the fluid air environment and state of technology in WWII years. All the best as you make it available." - Col. Charles McGee - Tuskegee Airman
NEVER ENGAGE STUPID.

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.

Falcon 4 Manual downloads from F-16.net It has what I think every manual you can think of to help even the experience out.

- 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.

Q-9 is all you have to do. AFterwards you can just fly home, most of the time on "Guard" you may hear the SAR guys respond with "1 down pilot spotted..." or something similiar

Look in your C:\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\Config and look for a file with your callsign.lbk That is your logbook.

I've updated the original post with up to date links for some of the files. The ones that I could not locate, I deleted or found a suitable substitute for it.

That was a bug in the program - it likely wont ever be fixed in AF.

What's the problem with BMS? If you have any questions, I know a couple of other guys that visit SimHQ as well and among us, we can probably answer most of your questions. I used to fly AF but that was years ago.

Thx MigBuster. Could you elaborate on "if you are worried about gfx then you are out of luck with AF" As said above really - its stuck in some pre DX 9 nightmare - the only way that would change is if any old LP members were still working on the source code and released a DX9 - 11 version for modern hardware - I wouldnt hold my breath on this. From 2005 to 2009 LP must have been working on something not only AF patches - wonder what happened to all that work! BMS also has far more modern avionics/weapons - in AF you only had LGBs, dumb bombs and the old limited AAQ-14 LANTIRN - so its doesn't really go past 2000 in that sense.

Did that help? Was it wrong? Was it right? This must be the fifth question in a row I've answered in this forum where the person asking the question never acknowledged the response. Maybe I've been shadowbanned, and don't realize it. Because it's a shadowban.
