Sorry actually this is my mistake in not reading the manual! Terrible I know
but thats what you get when you have a PDF thing instead of a 'real one'.
Anyway I heard the controller say Taxi to runway and hold short which I did.
Then I asked for take off and the controller said 'runway position and hold'
which I assumed was another way of saying hold short. But it was actually
telling me to get onto the runway and stop. So it was my fault all along
that I wasnt taking off correctly. Seems this isnt a bug after all. The
flying blocks in the sky when you shoot planes are definitely a bug though
unless the Borg have suddenly invaded 2005 earth and I never noticed!
I also got a bloody CTD last night as well when I was trying in vain to find
out what CFD button I pressed to mess up my instruments and the game
obviously didnt like me messing around with the cockpit and the game CTDd.
This isnt a good sign as the whole sales pitch for this game is that it is
rock solid stable - which it obviously isnt. And neither has it been
particularly well tested either. Still it is nice to be playing F4 again
despite the quibbles.
And also very nice to get the game in a box with a manual etc! Shame there
isnt a keycard but you can just use the FF3 one which is very similar.
My final comment is that if anyone wants the game you cant beat Simware for
ordering. I ordered online from the UK and received the order from Brussels
in two days! Mind you the box was crushed and the case was smashed up but
hey you cant expect everything!
