          Love this! I would love to see some avionics dev for it, even if we are not 100% sure how it works. Some hints of how hud, mfds look like would be great!

                    What basis did you use for the AFM ? F16 one ?

                    Could you publish the EM charts of your model please ?

                      Yes I used the F-16 as a baseline for the afm.dat. The ofm.dat has been developed from scratch. I initially trialed with the M2k baseline as it felt more appropriate from an aerodynamic point of view, but it was indeed working more satisfactorily with F-16 data.

                      I validated the FM against performance data in defined conditions. Haven’t produced EM charts for it. @TOPOLO had kindly helped with some feedback on an earlier version of the FM and I have considered his feedback and implemented it. There is definitely room for improvement, the energy bleed rate needs to be increased and I need to smooth out the curves.

                          will the tacref update files of ccc1tw work with this version? In other words is this tacref based on the ofm one or is it customized.

                            It is ccc’s tacref update. I primarily focused on updating the EF2000 entry and removed some entries not relevamt for this package.

                              @Scorpion82 Ok, but because i saw the f-5f did not show up and the names are not alphasorted. ccc did put a update file here that worked on the ofm version. Before i use it on this one wanted to be sure. Nice work on the theater btw.

                                I would have to take a look at it and it might be that the F-5F was among the aircraft removed, because it’s not relevant for the EF2000 RETRO theater/scenario and timescale. Tried to streamline it a bit in this respect. There are some compromises in this direction, but in general I tried to keep it sleek.

                                    Greatly appreciated! It reminds me when I was a child, dreaming to fly those innovative and futuristic aircrafts! Now I recognize I’m quite old, but it is always a great memory! Happy Easter

                                      Unbelievable!!! This is a dream come true for me!!! I played this to death, including its predecessor TFX and Total air War. EF2000 was the best though IMO. I also loved the soundtrack.
                                      Will fire this up ASAP!!
                                      Thank you all so much for this. You have made a 60 year old boy feel like a young lad again.
                                      INCREDIBLE!!!

                                      PS. Now if some one could just do the same with TORNADO!!!😄

                                        @drillerman52 …Tornado is still alive and is currently still being modded.

                                        Dogs of war 👍 😁

                                          Was indeed surprised that Tornado is still alive. Another great classic!
