Mine has this great pit installed: http://combatace.com...combat-veteran/ Otherwise, totally stock. Works like a charm.

Ya that fixed it.

Looks great, flies great, sounds great etc. Very nice work yall! New model is very nice. One problem: I did notice that the plane is invisible until you're only about <0.5 mile or so away. Ok I admit it. I was trying to shoot this baby down with a Yak-23 the other day...

July12 seems ok to me. I've played it thru a few various campaigns with no major issues. Still getting plenty of misses with older missiles, soviet naval SAMs still knock me out of the air if I don't evade properly. A little stuttering while launching for a carrier, but I am using 3rd party visuals. Q8200. 4GB RAM. GTX560 latest drivers. Win7 64bit.

Thanks for releasing this one. Do you know what year this paint scheme introduced?

Nice Lo-viz! Oooh I wants it! MS:

Is that the stock F-15A skin? Mandatory screen (love the new ANG liveries BTW) :

An older shot, but one of my favs...

Bear intercept, North Atlantic, 1975

Thanks yall. It's nice to have some perspective on this weird hobby. My RL friends will never get it, nor do I expect them to. Grandpa flew P-51D in WW2, and had some amazing stories, so I think that is what sparked it all. Like Malibu, I grew up in the '80's (born mid '70's) so the teen fighters were all I cared about other than WW2 stuff. Built tons of Revell models and generally geeked out on planes. C64 brought Strike Eagle, F-19 Gunship and others. I used to take those Microprose manuals to school and study them, especially those line-drawing diagrams and specs. Living in central NC, the only military planes I usually saw were A-6's from Cherry Point, I guess. One flew over at a low enough altitude about once a week. Not buzzing the treetops, but low enough that I could tell it had a tan nose. Going to Myrtle Beach was always a treat because of the A-10's stationed there thru the 90's. They would cruise down the strip at <1k feet, I remember the distinctive whine of the big fans. They were dark green, and the first time I saw one painted grey, I was shocked. Once on the ride home (backroads, out in the sticks), I saw one doing (very) low altitude maneuvers, literally at treetop level, making banked turns over cotton fields and popping up over the wind-breaks. Awesome. A couple of times one summer while I was at Hyco Lake, floating out in the water on a weekday, an F-14 would come screaming over the lake at a couple hundred feet, wings fully swept. Flew right over me one time. That was an amazing experience. Anyways, SF2 is were I belong.

Cool, thanks for the review. Good Lord man! writing all that on a touchpad? You are a masochist! Since I'm reading it on wife's work iFad (thanks Migbuster), I'll be trying it out on that one day, I hope. Duke University won't mind having such a cerebral game on their machine I'm sure... Hey! F-104. I guess this once and for all dispels that rumor about the Lockheed copyright problem.

What do yall expect me to do? Learn how to dive bomb? ;)

Along the same lines, the F-8J is supposed to have wet pylons according to WikiP, but I have found no photos of them carrying tanks in a (limited) image search. But, I sure wouldn't mind a little extra range when flying the Crusader...

Bullpup capable?
