RE: 3-to-4 Weeks
Well crap, its finally time for me to buy a new computer, since this will not run on my current potato. I can only spawn and fly out over the ocean and play or else its a slideshow. But holy crap does this look great, thanks a million all involved.

RE: Are there any planes in this sim up to the level of the F-16?
Floggers are real hot rods in terms of acceleration. They are very sleek with their wings swept back, and have a lot of thrust. High thrust + low drag = hauling the mail, quickly like.
But this is true for most swing wing aircraft, like the F-14 and F-111. Make a TE fighting both of those jets and see if they can outrun amraams in the NEZ. For that matter, try it against F-22s and eurofighters. If they cant outrun a slammer but the MiG can, you MAY have a point. But anyway, I just chimed in to say that the flogger is known as a very quick jet.
Oh, and while I agree they can move pretty good, if you cant gun up a su-25, you just need more stick time. Really they are only tricky if you let them make you overshoot. High yo-yo is your friend.
I have no comment on the destructive power of an AIM-120 and or the toughness of the SU-25.

RE: Read the Manual eh?? = useless so far… because I did not look hard enough
Dude…you need like 20 buttons mapped to a joystick to play this game. The rest you can just click on in the pit with the mouse.
-DMS up, down, left ,right
-TMS up, down, left, right
-radar cursor up ,down, left, right
-weapon pickle button
-fire gunsJust map those buttons and hop into dogfight mode. When the time comes you get bored with that, and you wanna learn to drop jdams and LGBs, then its dash 1 time, or youtube time.

RE: Iff you could have one thing in the next update it would be. (Archive)
“Iff” I may put this thread back in the right context…and beg everyone’s pardon if this has already been addressed. No time to read all 40 pages of the thread…
What one thing I could have in the next update would be the removal of that “D-bag” narrator who says “That was a real goat rope!” & “Ya know the airlines are hirin’!” after dogfights! (Sooo freakin’ annoying!!) :mad:
If you dont know who the best fighter pilot is, it aint you.

RE: Read the Manual eh?? = useless so far… because I did not look hard enough
Seriously though, if you just watch training videos on youtube you can learn enough to be able to do everything important. I was kicking the crap out of the AI in a few weeks to months, tops, just from youtube vids and sparse reading of the manual . If you can only learn from a text format for some reason, then have fun with the manuals, its all there. But Ive had enough textbooks in college, else I might be in a real viper today, so youtube it is. You can learn enough to be competent from the videos, krause’s to be specific. TMS and DMS are the only freaking buttons you really need anyway ( hotas rules, thanks general dynamics!).

RE: A Navy test pilot suggests that the F-16 pitch FLCS is not a g-command system

This author ( who flew both ) says they both auto trim for 1 G flight also.
