Eurofighter Typhoon - Dogfight Mission

A demonstration of the "dogfight 2" multiplayer mission on Rage Software's Eurofighter Typhoon game. This mission can actually be played cooperatively or by a single player (in this case), and is not part of the single player campaign. The music is from Ace Combat 6.

Watch this space though, as I'm around 7am on day 4, so I'm not too far away from the final missions from what I remember. As several people have asked about the final missions, I'm planning to run through them once to refresh myself, then create videos for them. Perhaps after that I'll create videos for all scripted missions, and maybe the basic mission types too (CAP, airfield denial, ship kill, etc.), but these will take a long time if I decide to do them.

Bad news first - I installed the patch, started again, and I had the same problem. Good news - I got so frustrated with them not landing that I decided to use unguided weapons and deliberately miss most of the sea skimmers and hovercraft. Finally this allowed the invasion force to land, though only four sectors. I thought I had deliberately missed the invasion force when playing on Vista before, but perhaps not. Anyway I'll try missing even more next time and see if they gain more sectors.

installed the 2.1 patch for this and now my X52 wont work properly with it.

@routhoula I didn't even know there was a patch. As my joystick doesn't work with it anyway, I might as well give it a try. It's a shame that all the info I can find on it says "fixes a number of problems that have been found in the game", rather than listing specifics. If it makes the campaign actually work on Vista I'll be happy though. I can only hope.

@routhoula Just downloaded a patch that contains a second file (typhoon_registry_fix.exe). When opening, it says:

"You only need to run this file if you have installed the latest Typhoon patch and selected Yes to install the registry entries and found that your joystick still doesn't work."

So if you haven't tried installing that registry fix yet, it may get your X52 to work with it again.

Nice job!

Is there a way to redefine joystick controls? I have a bunch of buttons on my joystick but I can only use like 2.

[demolition09]

@clerlic I also had this problem - my sidewinder controller used to have software for key binding, but it lost support with Vista. I found an app called Xpadder, which allows you to add your own bindings. However, even that doesn't seem to stop the first two buttons from being assigned to fire weapons, but at least it allows you to use the rest of the buttons on your controller as you want them.

Hey, I was looking for this game for soooo long. DO you know where can i get it from? Pleaaase!

[Chaostos]

this game kicked so much ass...

...escort missions \ bombing ground targets \ destroying submarines\ships \ air fights .... takeoff and landing...basicaly free run - pick missions what you like with different pilots.

sick game.

so much stuff, many new flight games just suck by comparison.

@demolition09 don't worry after a lot of searching ,I have found my old copy with the guide thanks anyway! :)

[demolition09]

@blackeagle041 Unfortunately ever since I have run it on Vista, the invasion force never lands, so the campaign crashes out eventually at one of the scripted events, so I can't really do a decent walk through just from memory. However, if you have the Operation Icebreaker expansion, they provide an extensive strategy guide in the installation folder. If you don't have it, message me your email address and I should be able to send over the guide.

Could you make a walktrough for the campaign?
