EDIT: Hmmmm..... ok...... followed your instructions, Slipball, and when I loaded up the mission, the plane was set to external view and promptly took off and landed whilst I was putting the kettle on. LOL How do I make the plane player controlled and not AI?

EDIT NUMBER TWO: Don't worry... it suddenly works now. LOL This is such a weird bit of programming.... I'm convinced this game is possessed by satan.

There is a "player" checkbox in aircraft properties (RMB click >> Properties >> aircraft tab).

You can also press ALT-F1 in game while watching any aircraft from external views to enter it as a pilot. ALT-F2 to exit. Aircraft switching must be allowed in difficulty/realism options.

Cheers guys! Very much appreciated!

I'm wondering.... is there a way, yet, to record and use radio messages? Something I have noticed is that there is a severe lack of tutorial missions out there that guide you through flight with full CEM. Once I have the knack of it and can pull off some nifty stunts etc, I thought it would be rather fun to create some for a few of the planes where the "Instructor" tells you what rpm you need, when to close your radiator, climb to a specific height etc.....

Another question (My curiosity has been sparked! Thanks Slipball!)... if I set AI enemies, do I need to turn their aggression on or will the attack etc on sight?

If the moderators feel they need to move this clump of posts.... feel free, of course.

Cheers again SlipBall

I dunno.... they say the AI is bad at the mo but I have noticed that the British forces are using some cunning advanced secret technology of some sort! Everytime I see more than 6 of their planes, my plane grinds to a juddering halt.... Microwave technology perhaps?

that would be true only if you can see the popcorn popping out of the popcorn bucket in your cockpit
