I'm not having a great deal of luck with these forums/threads etc. I'm new to LOMAC - yes it's 2008 and I only just got it! 2 questions, at least for now...How do I record a sequence that I can playback and watch??? In easy parlez please, and finally, using a Microsoft Sidewinder Pro, when trying to land (as i've slowed down obviously) the nose bobs up n down wildly and my joystick becomes ultra-sensitive??? any suggestions PLEASE!

You can record a track and play it back by:

Ctrl+R to start the flight- instead of the FLY button. Make sure you are ready to go (weapons & fuel correct, etc)- like in the payload screen. At the conclusion of the flight- you will be asked to save the file and have an opportunity to name it. Do so and click save or OK at the bottom.



To playback- from the main menu:

replays button
find the track you want to see
fly



As far as the nose porpoising- you are on auto pilot- ALT hold mode. This is typical when taking over in a track. The indication for this mode varies by plane. Which one are you flying?

It's the SU27 I think, i'm attempting the visual landing in training and it happens when I'm just coming to land on the runway...any help would be appreciated...cheers Kon, sry if it's only a basic question but only got the sim a coupla weeks ago - anfieldmarauder..using Microsoft sidewinder jstick if it helps

Sorry to be cheeky Kon, by the alt+hold do you mean that this alt+H?? cheers bud - anfieldmarauder, can't find it in the manual or key card but will look again

You are in the Su-27, you can see if you have any autopilot modes switched on.

Your SPO-15 radar warning receiver is situated bottom right of your instrument panel. Above it are a block of rectangular indicator lights, a stack of 6 lights, a stack of 5 and a stack of 2.

If you have full autopilot ON, you should see the bottom of the 6-stack lit green AN, and also the bottom of the 5-stack lit green ABTO. Press A to toggle full autopilot ON/OFF.

If you have Altitude hold ON, you should see the next to the bottom of the 6-stack lit green
NPNBEA
K rOPN3.
Press H to toggle Altitude hold ON/OFF.

If you have speed hold ON, you should see the bottom of the 5-stack lit green ABTO.
Press J to toggle speed hold ON/OFF.

You may need to retrim the aircraft after switching the autopilot off, press CNTRL/T to quickly do this.

Obviously I don't have a Russian keyboard, so the text for those indicators is the nearest I can do on my UK keyboard.

Su-33 indicators are identical to the Su-27.

MiG-29 has its indicators as green bulbs in a small panel to the left of the landing gear indicator. If you try out each autopilot function you will see which lights come on.

In the A-10, you see PATH HLD in the HUD for full autopilot and ALT HLD in the HUD for Altitude hold. Dont fly the F-15 much, so cant help you with that.

Unfortunately in the F-15 you get absolutely no AP indicators what so ever! Wonder what the real F-15 offers in terms of AP and AP indicators.

Really? Not even in the HUD? Daaaa-hahammm.

Thanks a bunch lads, info will be brilliant....nice to get a 'noobies' question answered so well - keep in touch
