Hey. I've been on this site for a few years now but never introduced myself til now. I've been playing Strike Fighters 2 for only a few years but it's one of my favorites.

Oh yeah, and the guy giving us tips before we went in just told my wife to spam the Sidewinder button even though you still have a limited amount, and didn't explain that we also had AIM-120s at all. You don't have to work the radar and the weapons don't need to obey launch conditions cuz of the difficulty but come on, at least be like you have more missiles! It's also funny that the pre-pod "training" is taking out nearly stationary IL-28s and then they throw you into an actual dogfight when you get in there.

https://www.museumofflight.org/visit/tours-and-experiences/flight-simulators I thought someone might be interested to learn that the flight pods there run on bespoke installs of Strike Fighters 2 or First Eagles 2 depending on what you fly. There's a choice of WW1 stuff I didn't get to see and a P-51 Mustang, because me and my wife chose the tandem option where one person flies and the other shoots. They just put us in an F-15 instead of a Phantom which is one of the other options you presumably get going solo. I know the Fighting Falcon was a choice too. No Tomcat, though, I guess they don't have North Atlantic. It was ridiculously short instant action stuff so maybe not worth the price of admission but getting to do dogfight manuevers, flying upside down etc. is extremely fun when you can actually feel it, so whatever...I will tell you that the straps solution for your feet is wholly inadequate, hahaha. Proud of my non-aviation nerd wife for downing three MiG-21s with Sidewinders though, even if they've got the sim set to easy!
