Gr.Viper

Beware, you're about to discover the joy of a head-on guns-only attack. 37-mm, not Spandau

There's always another way to target Mavericks. Point camera at target area, zoom in, press "lock target in centre of screen". Works unviersally for all EO and laser weapons. Actually a nice method to target tanks with TIR - you look at them, lock them and then the seeker focuses on them (it's not instant in the latest game versions). Any 2 keys of +/- or a joystick axis. Harrier pit That's GR.3

Fast approach, missed the wires, hit the brakes, rolled, fell off, ejected... Pilot wounded, plane lost until replacements arrive (if any)

Just google for power supply calculator and voila http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp Turns out I use about 230w peak. With 300w PSU.

Didn't TK mention somewhere recently that highly-skilled AIs get a missile accuracy bonus and that he's planning to remove it some time? Could explain why flying versus blue is that much pain - higher average training levels boost missile accuracy.

My, isn't she old Happy birthday!

I've seen my wingman on an undamaged stock F-15 pull this stunt in SF2E. The abandoned plane had plenty of altitude and recovered itself...

Если за базу взят тот мод WoI о котором я думаю, то с ним надо очень осторожно. Туда включен контент из SFP1, WoV и WoE. По сути рипы прошлых игр вложены в WoI. Ссылки на него здесь как-то выкладывали, но потом были последствия в рамках борьбы с пиратством.

That's what I did. Also pulled out Three and Four. Two already went down by that time. No kills, mission failed. Still, if we weren't there a low-flying flight of A-4s in the area would be wiped out completely. Funny, how head-on engagements with Frescos start with the words "I can't shake him!" With other planes it usually takes a minute or two

Sometimes you just know you can't win

Well, as you said the troops are doing their job. The better they do it the safer they are. At the same time it's not the troops who decide that some war is necessary, it is someone at the back, while the troops are supposed to follow the orders. It seems quite natural to be against the idea of putting lots of people at risk for a goal you don't find reasonable and to wish them success and a safe and sound return. When there was a hostage situation here in a theatre in Moscow, the reporters announced the beginning of the police assault and have shown squads entering the building. Live. Since then they've got a bunch of restrictions stuffed up their backside.

The simplest way to check whether or not you're going to see any parked planes in campaign during flight is to look at pre-flight map. The airfields with squadrons will have parked planes, the empty have none. Moreover, if you have good intel and make frequent flights, you'll see that the strength of the squadron goes down after strafing, and destroyed buildings remain wrecks for a while.

Oh, go play TAGAP http://www.tagap.net/ Or if you prefer the other side of the lines, try The Seal Hunter (penguins inside) http://www.acc.umu.se/~asker/

Then wait until Israel arrives There's always something to wait for about TW sims isn't it...

AIs take off as normal airplane and so should you. Maybe with a little boost at the end of the run to get in the air faster. If you really want to do the VTO and hover, you sholud practice hover landings first. Then the plane transits from stable level flight to unstable hover gradually and you'll have the chance to get used to the handling without blowing up on the spot.

Just in case somebody makes separate installs. As a side effect, they use 3 different Save Games folder, so 3 separate mod-pack setups can be created without extra ini edits.

Growler, you copied shortened links with "...". Either copy them from address bar or via right click, to make proper copy to paste.

Weren't there some FM problems with later engine versions in Falklands mod?

And went they to the holy Downloads Section and converted the flock of aircraft from the old ways to the new ways. Amen.

Why all 4 engines are running?

Yes, that major site needs a major password you'll get if you register there.

I reckon the story boils down to "forgot handbrake"

Wonder if TK will ever add those into his sims. But the plane has no combat record, does it?

Vampire?

Weight added by the radar (200kg) could be the reason Also 37mm cannon was switched for 23mm,
