CAS Mission
Otrman - I have made a simple CAS mission for you.
You will strafe Japanese troops and light tanks.
Mostly uses default objects. You must download and install one thing:
Iwo Jima Boys (US and Japanese troops). You can get it here:

USN Missions
Thank you - I will try them. I have seen mention of something called Mission Builder but I do not see anything in my CXF2 folder. What am I missing.
Otrman
There are at least 2 stock USN campaign missions that are ground attack. Copy the USN campaign missions from the Campaigns folder and paste them into your main Missions folder to find them by name. Also, I have an old ship attack mission that I made years ago that uses all stock objects. I can send it to you if you like.

Open the CFS2 folder and find the cfs2.exe file. Right click on it and select "Create shortcut." Right click on the shortcut created and select "Properties." In the top of the window that opens, under the title "Target" edit the ending to read: ...\cfs2.exe" /BUILDER. Pay particular attention to the fact that there is a space between the cfs2.exe" and the /BUILDER Save and close; and now the shortcut itself will open MB for you. Mission Builder is a very useful tool in learning CFS2.
If you think of dabbling, Cody Coyote's Mission Building Handbook is a must read. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=49&id=3972

What makes this Sim special is it mission builder and the ability to fly all over the world.

It has over one thousand plane and hundreds of Ships from every Nation that participated in Word war two. It has many Scenery and a great community. It has its limitation but it has more going for it than limitation. There is no perfect World war two arial Simulation that Satisfy every player but do enjoy this one.

I recommend you start the game. In the first window hit Settings, Then hit Controller Assignments. There you can find the keystrokes for these and other functions. While there you can program buttons on your joystick to program things like select next/previous targets. While flying, hit alt to open the menu and/or in the windowed mode at the top of the window select View and turn on/off the indicator cone or adjust the tactical display to air, ground, ships, vehicles or off. I believe T is the default keystroke for changing tac display target types and I turns the cone on/off.
Tactical Display and 3d Cone
I am still learning to fly and and setting up controller assignments both keyboard and joystick.
There is mention of a tactical display and 3d cone that points to an enemy but cannot seem to find a way to get them displayed on my simulator screen.
Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Hiya Otrman,
The tactical display is toggled with "SHIFT+T".
The default tactical display shows air targets.
Clicking the "T" key will cycle through other displays: ground targets (g), surface targets (S) and, I believe, vehicle targets (V).
The enemy indicator, 3D cone , is toggled by the"I" key.
By default It will point to the nearest target if no target is selected.
If a target is selected it will point toward the selected target.
Next and previous targets are selected using either the "TAB" or "SHIFT+TAB" keys or whatever joystick buttons those functions have been assigned to. In my case "Button 3" and "Button 4".
Selected targets are hi-lited in the tactical display.
Have fun!
MR
PS: "CTRL+SHIFT+T" will cycle through tactical display ranges- how wide a view (for example: 5 miles, 10 miles, 20 miles, etc.) it will display.
PPS: I believe the tactical display and enemy indicator are only available in QC and missions.

Cfs2 and Logitech x56 rhino hotas controllers
Is anyone using the Logitech x56 with Cfs2. I purchased it hoping to use it with X Plane 15 only to find out I need a serious upgrade to my system first.
Right now I am learning to fly using CFs2 with a Logitech joystick and making some progress and might start using the x56 if it will work with Cfs2..
