I am VERY interested in this add-on, I really hope you can answer my questions.
Every video I have seen has been staged in a Military enviroment.

Is there anyway to use weapons in the free flight world?

Like take off from LAX and shoot down a 747?
I know it sounds crazy, but it would be soo fun. LOL.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it can be done. I have done it. Weapon for FSX can be added to any aircraft (the Virtual Cockpit HUD is another matter). I added Weapon to an ultralight (Aerolites Falcon) and shot down have shot down A321's and 737's (no 747 in my AO) many times.

WOW!
Thank you Markoz, I just didn't want to be limited to flying in 10 predetermined warzones.

Sorry, ONE more question :P

Do the commericial planes destruct?

I know there needs to be a predetermined damage model..right?

and right out of the box these airliners aren't meant to be blown up.

That is the beauty of it. It is not limited to a specific area. I cause most of my destruction in the Victoria, Australia. :D ;D

Just purchased it!
Doh, it's 12:30 am, not going to bed anytime soon :/

How do I lock onto aircraft with the missiles?

I had to shootdown a plane with rockets lol.

Also, do you get more ammo when you land/refuel?

To lock onto a target, select the AIM9 Sidewinder Missile, then press Ctrl+Shift+8 (this makes the target circle (Reticle?) larger), fly towards your target (make sure that you are looking straight ahead in the VC), once the target is within 10 miles you will start getting the locked-on sound. Press Space or Joystick Button 1 to fire. The missile will then track the targeted aircraft until it strikes it. Large aircraft take more than one hit to destroy. IF the target is heading on the same heading as you, the missile could fail to reach the target. In that case, fore from about 3-5 miles for a good chance to hit. With some missiles (most Air to Ground), if you get to close, you can't fire at the target.

Hope this helps.

Keep asking questions, we will help in any way we can.

[edit]I reload with armament (missiles, bullets etc.) by reloading the aircraft (ALT > A > A > ENTER). I have set a keyboard command to reload, CTRL+R. It also pays to refuel the aircraft at the same time.[/edit]

Wow, I would have never known that combo of buttons.
LOL.
I looked for some type of manual and nothing was available.

Also, a little off topic.

Do you suggest any big AI plane packs?
I sick of seeing the same 3 planes fly around the world. I want some variety..to shoot down  :D

LOL, thanks!

The only one that I have used, is FTX AI Traffic (free), but it only covers traffic in Australia (maybe New Zealand too).

I did trial Ultimate Traffic 2 a while back and it looks great. A demo is available at the bottom of the page. I almost bought it.

Is there a license somewhere in the folder I can drag and drop.

I had to do a fresh install, I dragged the captain sim folder into my root folder and now when I try to get the "weapon control panel" selected it won't come up.

Please help  :'(

Fixed :D
