A quick fix is to press 'left shift' and 'num pad minus' together, then type 'flush' and press 'enter'. ...

It should start itself when you get near the boats. It's more of a cosmetic thing purely to unlock missions - you don't actually control it.

Right click on the game in your Steam library. You should see the 'game key' option on the list. Enter this key on start-up. I don't know if Steam will let you play it on different computers though. It may be worth contacting their customer support.

Is there only 2 Asia side missons. I've done the 'Provide CAS' mission and the 'Drop Pamphlets' mission but that's all I seem to get! Is that it?:confused:

I've just fitted an external camera to my light heli but don't know how to use it! I'd like to be able to map the movements to my joystick hat. Can it be done? Thanks...

With a Nvidia 8800GT on a vista 32 bit - fully patched, running the Steam version:(. A quick fix is to press 'left shift' and 'num pad minus' together, then type 'flush' and press 'enter'. This should then reload the game at the point where you lost it. I know this isn't ideal and a released game shouldn't do this but I think a future patch may address this issue.

This is similar to the error I was getting with the German boxed version. I took it back for a refund.

...It took a while for me to get it going (the German boxed version I bought wouldn't load - I returned it and downloaded it from Steam instead) but after a night of playing I thought I would share my thoughts and ask a few questions: 1. I love the story and overall immersion of the game. It really sucks you in - I ended up caring about the company! 2. I love the fact that BI seem to want to suppport the community and am really looking forward to up coming mods. I'm also looking forward to the community mods (please please make a UH-1 for the 'Vietnam' type missions). 3. I think this has already been asked (but with no soloution) but is it possible to play in 'expert' mode but with the guages turned on? 4. Is there a 'basic pause' button which doesn't drop you back to the options menu? 5. Can I change the default seat poistion in trainee mode. I think the position is too far forward and to the left. I've seen a mod to the code but it only seems to work in expert mode. Thanks BI for a great game and thanks in advance for any answers or soloutions.

I tried to install again on a freinds PC but with no joy - leading me to think that one or both of the disks are corrupt. I've returned it to the shop and got a refund. I've now downloaded the Steam version and am currently playing happily.

1. I bought it from MediaMart, Bielefeld. 2. I've tried numerous reinstalls but it either fails to install (see reponse to thread below) or installs and then fails to load as stated. 3. I'm having problems opening the disk up for inspection. It crashes my computer repeatedly.

further to my response below I have now managed to get through the install without any error messages - however now when I try to launch from the desktop shortcut I get this error message: datafile too short 'addons\united_states_h-data-layers_02_02.pbo'. expected 391833669 B, got 143530159 B My specs are: Operating System: Windows Vistaâ„¢ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6002) Service Pack 2 (6002.vistasp2_gdr.111025-0338) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

The demo worked great and the first time I installed it worked ok but I could only fly 'free flights'. I have the German boxed version (I live in Germany) bought from a local electrical store.

I've also got the German boxed version and I get about 3/4 of a way through the install and I also get a 'file not found error' - the install then aborts! I played the demo with no problems at all (even with all the sliders set to max) . The game did install the first time but I could only fly the 'free flight' and the campaign wouldn't work.
