Help with dragon misson ( I die within 1 sec!)

[Lange200]

Help - I am a novice at this!

I have downloaded the misson Dragon and Dragon 2 by Steve Baugh as I wanted to fly hellcats and land on aircraft carriers etc!

I have not only followed Dougs advice on the tutorial all seemed to be going well!  

Firstly I had only downloaded Dragon 2 and found I needed 2 planes from the first version and downloaded this campaigns and all as I thought the more the merrier!!  However...

When you start the mission before you have even realised the cockpit is up in front of you and your dead and it moves on to the next mission.  At first I thought it was me doing something stupid so I continued, however it appears to be doing this on every mission.

Anybody got any ideas, solutions etc.  This is my first attempt as only bought the game a few weeks ago and noticed you could add to your campaigns etc online and this is not going too well!!!!

Thanks

Thank You so very very much!!!  It is nice to find a forum aimed to help that actually helps!!  Thanks for decoding the jargon and making your instructions make sense!

Do you know any of the fs or cfs games that come with an aircraft carrier mission/campaign and possibly a hellcat?  That might be a way round it!!!

Thanks once again

Glad to be of help. You might like to try the Korean War campaigns I did with Mike Eustace. Valley Forge has carriers (but no Hellcats) & all necessary files are included in 2 separate downloads. It should work straight "out of the box". http://www.simviation.com/cfs1missions7.htm

Please read the simple install instructions carefully & tell me how you get on with it.
