USAF Mission 01 Mission overview " You are Lt. Col. Bruce H. Hinton, of the 4th Fighter Intercept Group, heading up to escort a flight of B-29's over North Korea. The '84's who have come over this way have been very badly surprised by the new Communist jets. Let's see if your new Sabre can help to even the score. " My diary The first thing I noticed after takeoff was the distance to the first waypoint - over 100 miles! The manual says that "warping" to the next action point was disabled because of problems the Microsoft Combat Flight Sim 2 game engine has with faster aircraft. There is a workaround to re-enable warping but for this mission I decided to stick it out. Anyway the Sabre zooms along nicely at around 500 knots and the climb to altitude gave me time to admire the clouds and fiddle with the graphic settings. That's the only drawback of having settings so easily accessible in the Microsoft sims - you're tempted to fiddle fiddle fiddle ! I was pleased to see the wingmen hanging in there. Yay! In Korean Combat Pilot they had rarely made it to the mission area. Whatever the problem was, it's been fixed, as they hung in there doggedly all the way to our first encounter, which was not with MiG's but a gaggle of B-29 Superfortresses. I say a gaggle rather than a formation because - as you can see at right - they showed formation skills only marginally worse than my own! Read on Fixing the problem - I had needed to select "unlimited fuel" in that add-on. |
