Rambler 1-1 9 Posted August 26, 2011 Hey guys, I'm back! Just arrived back from beautiful CFB Comox, where I spent the previous six weeks with the Air Cadets, learning to fly! Almost ten hours total time (three and a half solo) under my belt on the Schweitzer 2-33A now, and I can't wait to get more. The best part is, I'm only a corporal in our squadron, but since I've got my wings pinned on proudly, whenever it comes to talking about flying, I'm the authority! Sort of. Anyways, I have a week of free time before I start my AME course at the college here, so I've dusted off the joystick and pedals for some fun on SF2. What's the Phantom's best glide ratio again? PS- has anybody figured out how to plunk the SFP1 desert map in SF2? I know you have to change a few things in the .inis, (thanks, KB!) but I haven't had any luck in actually getting it to run yet.

Wrench 9,426 Posted August 26, 2011 the desert map is stock in SF2 (no suffix letter) keep up the work -- keep flying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rambler 1-1 9 Posted August 26, 2011 Sorry, SF2:V. Just found the rest of what I need in the KB, I'll give it a shot tomorrow. And thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted August 26, 2011 Errr Gliding the old Phantom... tried it once and had to go for the E Ride out... Glides like a brick in other words STRAIGHT DOWN... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ezlead 42 Posted August 27, 2011 The glide ratio of the Phantom is about equal to a heavily varnished brick!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rambler 1-1 9 Posted August 28, 2011 yeah, that's about right. Doesn't sideslip quite the same as a 2-33 either, but on final, set the attitude and modify your airspeed with speedbrakes, and my landings have significantly improved! The flare is just a little different... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
