Switching Planes and Pilots?

SEE · #1 11-05-2009, 04:26 PM

Some of the SP missions are 'Tactical Control' with limited attempts but, according to the manual, you can jump into another cockpit if you want to but the method is described using the standard gamepad. Has anyone worked out how to do this using an AV8R stick (Xbox)?

Have to say I really like this game despte the 'flack' its been getting from some peeps. I would be more than happy if the only fix from a future patch was to award points/kills for inflicting damage to an oppenent that caused them to crash and Mid air collisions didn't count as a kill for either player or are considerd a kill for both teams. This a great game and my favourite, no regrets buying it....................

Using the 'hat switch' on the bottom of the joystick doesn't work?

Cheers, sussed it! Map Button, select pilot from list and then use the trigger - not the select Target Camera (Button A) as in booklet. Can screw my plane up and use one of the useless wingmans instead as these are in pristine condition due to lack of action..........

Where did you see this in the instructions? This game has the most useless instruction book I've ever seen! If it wasn't for this forum, I'd still be trying to figure out how to play the online games. I can't even find cheats or faqs for this game.

The second stickied thread is a Faq. And Cheats??? How about unlimited ammo and unlimited lives..............

Thats not what I meant by cheats. I just meant information on details of the game. I do understand what you mean though. By all rights, once you get killed, the game should self destruct and you should never be allowed to play again, seeing how you are dead. That is why the devs make difficulty levels. I applaud them for trying to make us both happy! So some players can have fun one way, and others can have fun another. Truly, I can't find a single player on realistic or sim. If that's all this game had, nobody would play it. At least not the scores of players I know. Its just how serious a player wants to take a video game. I've seen several fights erupt over Madden.
