I also need help with this, IDK if any of you guys are gonna be able to answer this seeing how that would mean you have to stop playing Flanker 2.5
I have to say I'm pretty clueless on how to fly the MiG29K, if anyone post very specific instructions on how to do this I would be thankful

PS. after I installed 2.5 none of my training missions worked , they say that the "?.trk" file could not be opened, does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

That was not very resourceful on the part of the Flanker team. Everybody is dying to get this upgrade primarily because of the new Mig-29. Unfortunately, there is no mention of the plane in the game interface (or it very well hidden) and no help in the readme file (????!!!!!) I will go to bed tonight after half an hour of fruitless efforts trying to locate the plane. I hope we'll know by morning.

Just go to the mission editor.
Build yourself a new mission (you have the manual of course )and choose the MiG-29K as your aircraft. Start up the mission and you will find yourself in the MiG cockpit.
Nothing difficult in that gentlemen !

Grrrr....the mission editor. I'm a part-time kamikaze, not a mission creator. If I wanted to play with mission editors I would have become a programmer.

Well, actually I love to edit my missions in campaigns (as long as the game has a cool campaign engine) but Flanker 2 editor always irritates me because it looks like my word processor at work. I know, I know I'm being irrational but games are highly subjective things as you might have discovered yourself. Anyway, let's try that editor.

I still have no clue what I'm doing in the editor but here is the anticipated Mig-29. It's a snappy plane and makes me black out constantly. Hey, there is a plane up there. Let's check him out...

You seem to be doing just fine there MonsterZero. The MiG is a beautiful machine that seems very light and responsive compared to the SUe (that will get me flamed I guess ). Haven't used F2 for a while and now I keep scraping my burner cans on the ground when I flare the MiG

Monster,

It's not hidden. Try out the Close Air Combat or the Kh-29 Laser guided training missions. Both feature the MiG-29K. Either that or go into the editor with an existing Su-27 mission, declassify if necessary (don't type anything in the password field), and change the player plane to the MiG-29K. I did this with the "Falcon is Served" mission.

Just a note:

There are specific 2.5 missions listed in their own folder... I'm sure 1 or more of them have the Mig29k as the main plane.

I need a setup with a separate stick and throttle to play Flanker and EECH. CH Products have dissapointed me. Their Pro USB throttle was delayed and I don't want to wait another 6 months. Screw it.

I'm very tempted by the appearance of the X-36 system from Saitek, but many people say it sucks like a tornado. Is it really that bad?

I used to have one and loved it, but I couldn't get all the buttons programed to save my life. I had to run it as a 4 button controller - bummer. Siatek's interface and customer support sucks.

Watch out with some usb joysticks,there seems to be a lot of posts ive read where people using usb cant get the throttle to be recognised(myself included,Microsoft Precision Pro 2)cant get it to work no how with Flanker 2.5,it worked on 2.03.Im just about to go and buy Saitek cyborg 3d usb,works great on my friends comp and it seems every bit as good if not better than the pro 2 stick(2 extra buttons and lots of various adjustments on Saitek stick)Noticed on there web site as well new beta software which my friend said has fixed a slight niggling drift to left in some games.He doesnt play flanker though so still not sure about throttle being fixed though.Did read a post from ssi guy though ,Matt ? i think,they are aware of usb problem,new Flanker 2.6 update anyone.

No way! The Saitek is my first HOTAS and I love it! (I mean I didn't know nothing)
Sheesh! when you edit a profile, you don't even have to remember to save it, it does it for you!
The interface is a snip to work with, very user friendly.

Mind you, can you wait for the TM stuff to come out?
Now that is gonna be interesting!

as for F2xx? No probs at all, it does just what it's supposed to, everything works fine.

I think it's called HOTAS 2000. Maybe they'll change the name to 2001?
Anyway, redesigned F-22 and TQS sticks, now USB, all metal, adjustable spring tension, comes with programming/loading software by James Hallows of Fox Two fame, and apparently will be sold at what James calls "a ridiculously low price."

Well, the original stick/throttle setup TM released went for between $250-$300 for the pair, depending when and where you got them.
I'm GUESSING he means the pair will go for $150 or so.
