Some of the Challenges are definately harder than others and some are dead easy. Some requre too much thinking for my lazy liking and some you need to think outside the square >nzflag<

What do they want for the first answer, the name of a city that isn't shown on the aerial photo? Jesus, I can't even figure out number 1 lol.

I entered in, "yes", then "no" then "what the hell do you want?"

I now wait for 24 hrs till I can try again hehehe

I recieved my Special Ops Pack from my Squadran Leader today and now have my mission control center set up next to my laptop.

I have chosen to accept this mission and I am going to bring the soldier home.

Man this game is addictive!

I stayed up till 2am this morning completing all the challanges

So far I have completed career challange 1,2 and 4 (quite proud of myself for figuring some of the answers out!), and also 5/5 spot challenges! (Lucky I had a photo of me with an RNZAF pilot on my PC :lol:

)

I won't tell you how many points I have... you will just have to look out for me on the leaderboard... watch out pieman!

BTW, what scores did you get for the fighter pilot test game (challange 2), I got 34 seconds after about 45minutes worth of attempts!

Also, what is with the parachutist's location page? I thought the whole aim of the game was to find out where he is hiding, but it says "Location Released: Baldwin Street, Dunedin" :?:

I think he is going to be in several different places through the country and move up through the country. I got 37.8 seconds on the pilot challengeand i dont think ill be able to get anymore than that as after 37 seconds they like go at light speed

I no what you mean about addictive there though Trolly :lol:

Can anyone give me some clues??

by **AlisterC** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 11:16 am

haha it wasn't until I signed up I regretted my name choice :lol:

I've not yet managed to get a photo of me with someone in uniform (doubt I'll bother) nor will I be able to get the logo on tv anytime soon I don't think

It's damn good fun though! Even got me thinking about joining the AF >nzflag<

I found a photo of me in a Red Checkers RNZAF plane at the last Ardmore airshow with a pilot leaning over pointing out what all the instruments did. I sent it in and bingo, I passed the challange!

It's damn good fun though! Even got me thinking about joining the Airforce

LOL, well it is just a glorified recruitment drive after all, but still, the RNZAF are clever by doing it. They have captured a very large audience with this game!

Mission update #3 and 4 new career challenges have just been released today!

by **ardypilot** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 7:59 pm

Here goes my third post in a row then:

After reading the latest mission update, I've discovered that you are meant to make your own airforce advertisement for spot challange #4, so I set about recording my RNZAF C-130 in fs2004.

But, because I have a real crappy 2.4ghz celaron powering my PC, I got real bad stuttering when trying to record with FRAPS, Camtasia and Wisdomsoft, and in the end, I set up my digital camera on my desk to record the screen :lol:

. It came out rather crap, but looks alright compressed down, and should earn me my points for the challenge.

You can watch it on Youtube if you'd like here. Please don't make fun of my effort, I was only using Windows Movie Maker to edit my recordings, and it is no where near as good as the other sim videos posted on NZFF!

Any ideas about that flight steward one??

Any ideas about that flight steward one??

If you mean the 'what is tour codename?' one... find yourself a map of the world like the nice lady says... from that point, it should be fairly easy to 'connect the dots'

by **ZK-KAG** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 3:01 pm

Ah got it, at first I thought it was an elephant! haha
