DoctorQuest

I still think SF2 with its many mods is still a worthy historical combat flight sim. I'm not going to get into why I am not as enamored with DCS as others. To each their own and YMMV. I don't have ONE favorite sim. I still fly Janes F-15 and F/A-18. Hell, I still fly Microprose Strike Eagle II and F-117. I'm also a big fan of Falcon 4 BMS. I still fly IL-2 1946 and CFS3 for my WWII fix. I feel bad TK decided to move on. On the the hand that is the perfect definition of a "champagne problem". My life or the world is not going to end for lack of a flight simulator.

It has been CombatACE as long as I've been a member. I don't remember how I originally came across the site but I have owned about every iteration of SF ever released. This has always been my go-to place for that sim. I even treated myself to the all-in-one install for my retirement. I won't be leaving here any time soon. Finagle willing.

Young whippersnappers.......................

Agreed. The advantage of having a "complete install" is you don't need to worry about prerequisite requirements for the various mods that are available.

Remember to genuflect.

Something along the lines of NATO Fighters Mods?

Like riding a bike. ;)

That would have been cool to see. I don't think I've ever seen a foreign demo team IRL.

I have seen this, too. I don't recall if it happens with all planes. Like Wrench says, I usually end the mission at that point. I've never taken the time to really research it.

What I have seen is that bomb bay animation is triggered by CTRL O (OH). Cockpit animation is USUALLY set to SHIFT 0 (ZERO). That is more of a CombatAce modder standard than anything else. Hopefully any README files for a given aircraft will detail the animations and proper trigger keys.
