Quick Story: I'm trying out the Simulation tutorial, and the trainer says "speak of the devil, messerschmits (sp?)!" and I'm like, "uhh....ok...where"
So i cheat and use the map, and still can't find them. Then out of nowhere I get buzzed by one shooting at me. So i turn around and see a glimmer as the guy breaks left, but I quickly lose sight of him. Then I'm lost again for like 10 minutes trying to find these Messerchmits. Finally, I see one turning hard behind me and trying to get on my six. I work and work and work, and get right behind this sucker and start unloading on him, but to no effect. I bring him in closer still, but nothing. He loses me as I overshoot, but I manage to get on his tail a third time moments later, this time close enough that I can shoot the purple circle off his wing, but it registers no damage...wait, why is there a purple circle on his wing?...DAMNIT. Yup, I had spent 10 minutes trying to track and kill my only ally in my first sim fracas.
So on to the tips and help: How do you track/find a target in Sim mode? I'm using the aviator so the situational awareness stick is nice, but still I'm suffering. Thanks much
