Fighter Aces! Adolf Galland – The Expert! The new Addon from Desastersoft

[ChocsAway]

^^^

Running on Autopilot means you'll almost certainly not come across bandits in my experience. I quite enjoy the search for the enemy to be honest and I've had some success by following the vectors provided.

My biggest problem has been with not being able to get my wingmen to engage the enemy via the radio commands menu even though the enemy are in plain sight and my wingmen are in close formation. This leads to them trying to follow me everywhere rather than engaging the enemy. The option to engage either bombers or fighters never seems to be available for some reason or just doesn't work.

The following text is from Desastersofts manual for Adolf Galland:-

Order your wingmen to attack enemy aircraft:-

Always remember: You should have sufficient altitude, around 1.000 m respectively 3.000 feet.

After taking off you should close up your ranks a bit.

1. Open your radio menu

2. Choose option 6 - Formation

3. Choose option 2 - Formation – and set it to Close

4. Head to the target area

Once you encounter enemy aircraft you should

1. Open your radio menu.

2. Choose option 5 – Air Targets. There you see five options. As long as option number 5, Attack my target, is dark red you cannot order your wingmen to attack enemy aircraft. Should this be the case close the radio menu again until you see enemy aircraft nearby.

3. If all five options of the Air Targets mode are bright red choose the option you wish to choose. Only when all five options are active you can order attacks by your wingmen.

Should option 5 be inactive you need to assemble your unit again:

1. Open your radio menu

2. Choose option 6 - Formation

3. Choose option 2 - Formation – and set it to Very Close

Should you encounter enemy aircraft you should be able to order attacks on them. The order to attack depends on two key premises: You need to be able to see your opponent and your unit needs to be able carry out the order to attack.

No joy with the above so far. Any ideas anyone?

The 303.'s campaign starts at the end of August 1940.

Is this okey?

For sure its OK! The first kill was in 30th of August before 303 recived offical combat readiness (Ludwik Paszkiewicz - Bf-110).
Squadron was formed 2th August 1940, Northolt.

BTW.
I have a problem with NEXT button. Not always its active. Looks like a bug. I rememeber with WvsD (firs version) was too same. Patch solved this problem (if You use other languge than English on Steam).

Finally downloaded Fighter Ace, fifth time lucky, although I had to turn down my firewall and real time scanning, which I haven't had to do for any download ever. That said I want to thank Desastersoft for their help and prompt responses.

YoYo, I know it is. Osprey has some problem with this

Having you here YoYo - BTW.

What is the reason one must switch the autopilot on while takin' off (as the manual states)? Does this have anything to do with commmunication with the rest of the flight? Any idea?

As I remember it can be two things:

1/ in betas was a problem with engine on the ground (from the beginning was to hot so You can overheat engine without start), dont know now its a fixed, perhaps yes (near 2 months dont fly in Cod), turn on autopilot solved this problem
2/ AI problem - start in formation (auto solve this problem)

but Im on Your side, no autopilot ; > and any facilitations .

lol, yeah, I want my money's worth and I'm not happy about missing 6 weeks of action! They should've used No.501, they could've started it from France in May and gone the whole way through to October on the front line

You can't knock Ginger Lacey I'm afraid

I don't want to miss flying with the best of the best for my money That is why I can do without some six weeks of anything

No idea about Ginger, I never fly for the Luftwaffe (and we usually don't shoot at each other with Ginger while flying hurris). But as the JG 26 campaign starts in mid June you may meet him theoretically I presume
