Total Air War is a great sim, with the annoying bugs that usually accompany a first release. Here is the latest info from DiD on the patch in progress:

Patch Additions:

• Taxi bug when your flight number > 255. This should fix the problem of taxiing not working later in a campaign.
• Removal of 'Nose con 5 message' when getting ready to taxi.
• No need to tell wingmen to 'push one'.
• Fixed AWACS skip-it bug.
• Removed player heli supply missions.
• Removed player to plane collision on the ground (not in the air).
• Fixed engine spool up sounds.
• Added union reality patch.
• Can now drop tanks in ENCOM 1.
• Added help message when trying to send messages in ENCOM 1.
• Cannot say 'yes' 'no' in ENCOM 1.

GAME.CFG flags:

Putting the following in your game.cfg will enable these options:

• - START_ON_RUNWAY = 1 This will put the players flight on the runway at the start of any campaign mission (just like a scramble mission). The player can then just takeoff and start the mission. You don't need to wait for any messages from the tower.
• - OTHER_FLIGHTS_IN_AIR = 1 This will put you in the world when the other flights in your mission have taken off. If you set the above flag also you will be able to get your mission underway very quickly.
• - REARM_WINGMEN = 1 This means that when you land and rearm you wingmen will also be rearmed. This will happen even if your wingmen are in the air.
• - LAND_AT_ANY_BASE = 1 This means that you will get a mission success for landing at any allied airbase. The completion events will still state your real home base however.
• - MORE_CANNON_ON_HARD = 1 Gives you 1750 cannon rounds on hard difficulty .
• - NO_COLLISION_ON_GROUND = 1 Disables plane to plane collisions on the ground.
