Happy New Year!

The Tomcat can track 24 targets at once and can engage 6 of the 24 simultaneously if it has 6 AIM-54's available to it (in TWS-A and TWS-M modes, the difference is that in -M (Manual) the RIO designates which targets are to be engaged). Since the F-15 got its APG-70/APG-63V1 radar it can also do multi-target engagement with the AMRAAM (doesn't work with the AIM-7) and I don't know the limits of how many targets it can engage/track. The -16, -18, -22 and -35 I have no idea about but I'm willing to bet they can too. As has been said, however, this capability hasn't been added to the TW games. EDIT: Apparently the APG-70 can track up to two targets at once for attack in a mode called "Dual Target Track" or DTT and can fire one AMRAAM at each of the two targets. Also has the TWS mode which tracks up to 10 targets. Don't know how many fired missiles that supports, however. REF: http://www.f-15estrikeeagle.com/navigation..._technology.htm

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, guys!

Oh no! She didn't get turned into a Jill Sandwich did she? O wait, I'll read the link... (also an RE fan since 1 on the PS)

Merry Christmas all!

Well, Snort flew the Tomcat slower than the MiG for the guns kill using the "Big Boys" (ie he deployed the flaps, and flew at <70kts to gun track the MiG from 6-o'clock) which really illustrates your second point "its how one uses it that makes the difference". It seems like our Red Eagle pilots had an easy enough time flying the -21 down at incredably low speeds and at high AOA, but then these were some of the best guys available to the USAF, USN (including "Heater" Heatley) and USMC. Different pilots in the same planes yielded different results, like the "treeing" of both the F-14 and -15. On topic: Downloading FM tweak, will have to check it out a bit later.

I got this one. Amazing read, but as C5 said, it ranges from highly interesting to dull, depending on the subject. The engagements are pretty amazing and it really illustrates just how good the MiGs were with good pilots in them...well, except the Flogger...but yeah, a great read.

Great find, MiGBuster, I think you just made my week!

The one closest to the camera looks like an M-16 barrel attached to an M-1 Thompson frame. I have never seen anything like it before. I can't believe those things even shoot!

So...I take it the Tomcat has gained sentience and in the chance that its pilot is doing p*ss-poor in a dogfight, will come alive and literally tear its opponent apart and eat it?

Dude, calm down. It'll be out when it comes out.

Out-friggin'-standing! S!

Eh? The actual Kaisar HUD for the F-14A and B had aim cues, they appear as a little diamond in real life, just as seen in the above picture. Sidewinders use the same symbology as the gun (the gun-cross). If you lock the target, then select SW, you'll have the diamond and the cross on the same target. The HUD in my picture is the HUD that is included with the cockpit upgrade by The Trooper, so again, I have no idea why it's not showing up for you.

Though I get the reference, that sounds pretty wierd/dumb to me too. Never before in my life have I heard of an 18-wheeler referred to as "Optimus Prime."

If I had to guess, I'd say so. The thing is, you should still have the A/B HUD if you replaced the cockpit folder and avionics file.

Yes, but it depends on the skill level or experience or whatever factor affects air-to-air skill. Sometimes my wingies fire at the AIM-9's Rmax or close to it (~10nm), other times they wait until after the merge. So I guess that's technically BVR(10nm), also with the all-aspect AIM-9M.

You're definately getting closer, but out of a question are you running any other mods at the same time? The RWR and HUD still look different from the standard ones that come in that update.

Uhhh, I have no idea what's going on there. You should have side panels next to the VDI, the color should be different, you shouldn't have the G or Alpha signs on the HUD... How did you install it? Unzip, drag and drop or...??? EDIT: Oh, and did you change avionics60.dll to avionics70.dll?

Didn't you just post the exact same thing in the download thread?

Well, that's GS's info. Of course, that could be for the CJ, but it was listed under J. I'm guessing then that the original J's were nearly the same as the F-15A, but again, I haven't been able to find much myself. Link: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/japan/f-15j.htm

Been googling, and really I haven't found many individual specs for the [C]J/DJ. I had thought they were getting/had got the new engines that we're using in our E Strike Eagles (F100-P229). From GlobalSecurity.org: The F-15J is identical to the F-15C aside from some avionics changes. These differ from the F-15C/D with the deletion of sensitive ECM, radar warning, and nuclear delivery equipment. The AN/ALQ-135 is replaced by indigenous J/ALQ-8 and the AN/ALR-56 RHAWS is replaced by J/APR-4. So, I guess its specs are almost the same as the F-15C. That's about as far as I've got.

Would that I knew what those did...I'm guessing gives everyone's radar data in that a/c to the others in the flight?

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...amp;showcat=136 ^Hic est^ F-15CJ and DJ. I don't know how much they differ from the C and D, IIRC they have different engines, but may want to check on that (P&W-229's???)
