Is there a way to adjust EMG missions so that enemy AI planes keep spawning and actively seek out targets to engage? Currently, they tend to only go for the initial objective, then either return to base and vanish, or circle high above their airfield without attacking other objectives. I'm hoping to make them take off and pursue objectives until they're all eliminated.
In YouTube videos, good players do not use it, so I suppose it is better when aiming at enemy planes.
I've just come across to this game on tiktok and am wondering how different it is than Warthunder.
As far as I know in this game more than a year a person can control a tank or an aircraft and I think it's also a FPS shooter game like you can get out of the tank and actually shoot people (?)
If it's sim, I don't care because I really like playing Warthunder in sim mode.
In the game, I shot down an enemy, got attacked from behind, ejected after entering a stallspin, then parachuted to safety.
In the replay, I'm shooting at thin air, the kill I get is shared (unlike the game), bullets come at me from thin air, and then my plane crashes into parachuting character and kills player.
I'm using VP Modpack for 4.12.2 mega patch + graphics extender.
I for the life of me cannot get the gear or flaps mapped on the thq vertical panel. Everything thing else is mapped to my liking I think. Software is semi confusing anyone have any tips. Combined with the confusing CoD mapping interface it’s been kind of a nightmare. Any help is much appreciated!
Ive been playing on a server without icons and a friend has been complaining a bit about it being difficult to spot the enemy. I was wondering if anyone knows off hand where I could find some historic aces mentioning how difficult it was to spot aerial targets? I did some searching and in an old forum post I found someone mentioning that Erich Hartman spoke about this topic in his autobiography and I have since started reading through The Blond Knight trying to find it.
Does anyone else have any other leads for me to look into? Would like to compile a collection. Will update with what I find in the meantime.
Sorry if already asked, but I was flying a quick mission and managed to shoot most of the right side stabilizer off. There was still maybe a third or less left close to the fuselage.
The 109 retained controlled flight. Not dog fighting but still under control.
When the Spitfire gets a few holes in the elevator, it starts to float and just be like a balloon.
Any thoughts?
Where can I download the non-oficial campaigns? And which one’s are the best?
Hello everyone. Im new to this game just biught few days ago. I just bought it because of the tank crew i just wanna try the airplanes. So. I need helo cans someone comment the steps of control i should press before my plane take off. Last time i played the engine turned on and the propeller is turning but i can make it move. Im having a hard time. Thanks!
I just keep the buttons in default. Need to know its basics first before changing
There’s a way to get the gunsight more brilliant?
I feel mine is so wiped
Hey there, after years of only playing 1946 becuase i had a poor PC, now i'm finally getting into Great Battles, and got pretty much all the major expansions (except normandy) on sale.
I just wanted to know if you guys had any clans or groups to find people to fly with, as flying alone is often a disavantage in MP servers. Thx!
Hi everyone, i downloaded the game and i don't find the command to control the plane with the " wsad " in the keyboard. if someone have the solution he is welcom :)
Would be greatly appreciated.
Getting back into playing this game. While doing a low flyby by a carrier or an airport. The game crashes.

Would appreciate some help with this if anyone can give some advice. I enjoy creating new campaigns for the vanilla Dgen and want to have the player squadron operating out of particular airfields.
I came across the following feature mentioned on simhq but have never been able to get it to work:
"---Ian Boys on parked planes This feature was made at my request for Murmansk. It works as follows: Place a single plane of the required type at the base. It can be any nationality of the same side Red/Blue. If the plane appears at >1 base, DGen will pick a base at random among the available bases. You can place more than one plane at the base if you wish. Example - in Murmansk 1941 we want Hurricane IIB's to start only at Vaenga. By placing static Hurricanes here only we ensure that all Hurricane campaigns will start from that base and nowhere else. Example 2 - we want JG54 to withdraw into Kurland and not East Prussia in 1944/45. By placing the Fw190's in the north and Bf-109's in the south for each subcampaign we can ensure JG 54 withdraw into Kurland while JG51 withdraw across the southern part of the map into Ostpreussen"
I have tried this and never find the player squadron spawning at the intended location. Does it only work on certain maps? I have followed the above steps but no success. Any advice appreciated!
