F/A-18 Interceptor - Mission 6 - how to end it

[Angus]

That's right you just need to re-arm.

If there is a bug, its the one that allows you to re-arm on the enemy sub.

Its funny that Falcon had so many advanced features in the weapons and displays but flew like a turd, while F/A-18 Interceptor looked like WB 1.3 but had so much better
flight dynamics.

------------------------------------------------

I have to differ. F/A-18 was a lot of fun, but was always a bit choppy on a 68000. I remember seeing Falcon for the first time in our local shop. While looking out of the side of the {bleep}pit and pushing to the side with the stick, the speed at which those hills rolled was something new to me. And in F/A-18 the dogfighting was more about chasing the target reticule than chasing an aircraft. In Falcon you could get in really close and watch those MiGs try to outfly you. Landing in Falcon was pretty tough too. I think the best version was the first mission disk where you were up against the MiG 29 Fulcrums. But it was always more of a sim than F/A-18 which was more about easily accessible fun IMHO.

I guess the scenery, aircraft, and pilots perspective with airspeed always seemed out of sync and unrealistic to me.

A good friend of mine feels the same way, he's a big fan of Digital Integration's F16 Combat Pilot, which I never quite amnaged to get into..... yet.  

Like he says, the best flight-sims have their good points, I love the close up dog-fighting, (which is one reason I love Star Crusader) he loves the mission planning, night missions and general depth. Certainly F/A-18 is a very cool game (see my review on the AGDB!).  

Its a shame neither TFX nor Tornado were RTG.

Are you using the WHDLoad version? I know Jean-François Fabre put in a lot of work so the install ran properly on the 060 etc, and gave a correspondingly smoother framerate.

Marvelous job I thought.
