Has everyone tried turning on the advanced flight in the options menu?

Yes, as Mike described it really, but I find the camera quite blurry doing quick turns (showing my age?).

And I agree with McDuff on the evasion stuff, make it part of how you fly, not a button on the advanced setting.

i must say that the flying is awful ,its very slow and sluggish ,makes it impossible to do tight manoeuvres through small gaps at high speed

Had another go, it was just me! Starting to get to grips with it now the swarm missile requires a hold the button then release style, but the other missile auto locks - is that right?

Hey Gang

thought I'd put in my two cents.

first off I'll just say that I'm very impressed with the game so far. I just hope they make some changes before release.

my main issue with advanced flight at the moment is the dodging maneuvers. They are disorientating and to me it seems like they have just added the automated dodging from normal to pro to create the advanced flight. they should leave the mapped out evasion moves for new guys who are practicing with advancede flight but they should also make it possible to evade like in warhawk pro flight.

other criticisms - rpg fire is impossible to shake. also the weapon selection on the d-pad for the hawk is slow and clunky. they should also add some kind of guage to show which weapon is selected like warhawk.

you can also select "hold fire for missile lock"in the flight options menu

all of the missiles autolock unless you uncheck the box in the settings personally i dont like the autolock. the advanced flight feels horrible to me, i cant stand the auto dodge and dont even think they work that effectively, cant turn whilst boosting therefore always seem too slow. it feels to me like advanced flight should be the new normal flight and kept a proper full control pro flight, or perhaps had three options for the people who complain of motion sickness.

for me the whole appeal of proflight in warhawk was the ability to shake missiles and track a target smiultaneously, now thats gone along with the fun of flying. im enjoying being a noob on the ground though.

There's a US beta forum as well I think, but I can't access it. Might just be me though, I haven't been able to view the US public forums ever since they changed it a year or so back.

Im enjoying the game but sadly the Idea of flying just doesn't interest me. You should copy and paste the Warhawk flight code ...is that how it works?
