I noticed a lot of people are having problems on mission 2.1, Fire In The Sky. I am writing a mini FAQ to help anyone with this one.

This mission is not hard to get 15 stars on if you know what to expect. It is also not hard to fail the mission if your not fast enough so pay attention.

When you start the mission, you will have to destroy 3 enemy craft. Fortunatly, your plane can fire two missiles at a time if you tap circle twice fast. The first enemy is already targeted for you, he take about 3-4 missiles to take down. Just fly around targeting them and firing missiles. When you destroy all three craft, hightail it to the base and hover there for a while until a green landing pad apears. As soon as it apears, land and reload the new AAM's. These AAM's can fire further than the previous set.

When the next wave of lifters apears, light your six and hightail it over there. Not long from then, a wave of fighters apears to take down the lifters. These ones take about 2 direct hits from your new AAM's. activate hover mode and target the fighter that is closest and/or attacking the lifters. Take him out and repeat the prosess. If you are too far away from the fighters to fire missiles, move in closer. as soon as you take out these fighters, a new wave'll come. just follow the same proceedure.

India wing will show up as soon as Delta wing lands and lifts off. Just do the same as you did in the previous wing. NOTE: more fighters will apear so be quick about protecting them.

When India wing leeves, some bombers will apear and attack the base. Compared to the other part of the mission, this is a peice of cake. Just shoot down the fighters with the blue mark around them.

hey write an faq for that mission i want.

Don't worry. I'm writing an FAQ for the entire game. I'll let you know as soon as I am finished. It's also just a matter of luck, skill, and speed. If I were you, I'ld stay away from hover mode during that mission.

pm me or post a message when you have finished writing that faq cheers^_^

I will. And is it just me or are we the only two people on the forum? Anyway, my FAQ is going to have EVERYTHING! almost. UPF character bios, vehicle descriptions, controls, blah, blah, blah. I am taking a break as school has my hands full.

take as long as you like im busy playing toca race driver:D

I completed mission 2.1 on the third attempt. It has been a long time since I played this game but I'd like to say that this mission (and some others) require the correct use of the afterburners. Use them for about 10 seconds or so and then let them cool down for about the same amount of time and then use them again. If you keep using them until they overhead you'll have to wait longer for them to cool down and your average speed will be lower. In mission 2.1 you need to move quickly, switch to hover mode/land/take off and return to battle between waves of fighters - if I remember correctly.

Learn to master the controls and in particular switching flight modes and tactics quickly and you'll find the game much easier - until the last campaign and in particular the last two missions.
