Happened to me acouple of times, I mean the game just minimized. I thought it lost focus because of the shortcut launcher that I use. Hasn't happened last few times I've run the game.
Is it possible to change the camera position in assistance off mode? It's awfully awkward trying to manipulate the plane from a side camera. "C" didn't work.
Also somehow my mouse actually controls the plane (pitch, roll) instead of the camera as stated in the controls...is there a way to correct that?
Bummer there is no trace of aerodynamics in this game whatsoever. Just some basic stuff to make it feel a like a plane at all could help. Still enjoying it, quite fun though
The only way i can enjoy it (and i am) is in expert mode on - elite level . at least u got less ammo and can be stressed to try not to be hit more than once
At least they could had left some landings, c~mon sometimes landing on a carrier by night with the bird oozing smoke allover is more fun than splashing some mindless drones.
all in all good game, needed some more options for the less-arcade-crew after all the hard part was done.
hope u like the mission were u go hunting radars with a 700 meters ceiling and a time limit, i did.

Had the most fun running out of missiles at all and with still many airborne targets to shoot. Had to gun them down...took me some 20 minutes
I wish they could at least allow us to fly unassisted all the time with normal camera views...could add some challenge.
i tried playing this game but rapidly lost all interest after 20 minutes of play. for some reason, i can play microsoft flight simulator for hours but not this game. i dunno why.

Have either of you two got the new Skype 4 installed? Skype's new UI has a known bug that causes full-screen games to minimize to the taskbar.
I play it on elite because i found it funny (as strange) to have tons of missiles on board (what is this- a fighter plane or a battlestar )
Took some time to get used to the ass off controls but it's worth it in dogfights, for all else- ass on
The graphics & effects are nice, the world detail is quite good (i've heard that in the most flight simulators the terrain is mediocre at best ?- not that this is a simulator by any way but.. )
The bad things are that i don't find any difference in the planes aside the missile types.
The ingame voices are somewhat hard to hear, but cares anyway about the plot
And i absolutely HATE that in the briefing videos there are TONS of videos from End War- a 'game' that i'm trying to forget and force my brain to think that it never existed I am still trying to think of the Tom Clancy's series as something good..
Oh another thing- not much of a complain but an observation- i tried to go close and inspect an aircraft carrier, wishing i could land on it- but up close my plane was bigger than the carrier itself- same goes for every other model

This is because they had to have a small field of view and camera distance. I had the same problem on my , and ended up having to blow the world huge, which cost performance I suspect they couldn't afford. So compromise it is, and it's not that bad really for most of the time, certainly much better than any recent sim (yes, FXS and XP included, which might look more accurate, but run as slow as pigs on high end hardware).

Sabin 1981 no i have not got skype 4 installed but for some reason every so often it goes back to windows anyone can please get back to me thankyou all....
How the hell do you do the Tokyo mission.
I can't keep up with the dozen fighters and choppers that come in to rape the carrier when its leaving.
Try to direct your wingmen to fighters that are a problem, I've noticed that they(wingmen) travel a hell of alot faster, even when they have the same plane as me.
Yeah, they are capable of traveling at 5x your speed, however they can't seem to able to hit shit.
Choppers come from two different directions and accompanied by frigates, travelling pretty fast, and if they get close they make pretty quick work of the carrier.
Don't know what else to tell you. It did take me two tries to get through that one. Not sure, but I think it had to do with the type of armament I had onboard. The second time I equipped the 4-in-1 missles(have no idea what they're really called ) and that seemed to help alot with the choppers.
Good game afterall, starts out slow but later there is more variety (well protect this and that), too bad every plane feels the same but that's arcade for you.
i have dj dotcom1 version of hawx and i dont know how to enable directx10, in game menu says that game launch icon has it with a right click but it has nothing. running detectionui_r checks my system and it has directx10 checked but other than that i cant enable directx10 from anywhere else. if u know how to do it please tell me, ill love to see godrays in this game.
