Well, the Mainstay tracks one well off-the map. As to whether or not it actually vectors its escorts after you (which share network entries with the Mainstay), is open for debate. I did find, however, that if the escorts go off on their own, questing ahead of the Mainstay, they'll come running back if you try to attack it.

Oh oh..........

Phase 1 complete, moving onto phase 2...

Someone who's skilled in the use of a hexeditor should open up the the aircraftobject.dll and see if TK has added radar frequency and rwr entries (check for keywords such as VECTOR or TEWS). If so, then you will have access to some the advanced avionics features of the SF2 series.

If my 1968 Chevelle SS 396 could not overpower it's silly four wheel drum brakes, how is a 4 or 6 pot toyota with half the torque output going to do so with massive (by comparison) four wheel disc brakes?

I would imagine that some training and test rounds are left smokey on purpose, Lexx. The AIM-9X and AIM-120 are supposedly completely smokeless.

All external tanks in SF1 or Sf2 feed equally. There's no way to select tanks, or sets of tanks.

The default Third Wire aircraft have them all compressed into the objectdata.cat file. You must extract them and place them in their respective aircraft folders, for editing. You can use either of the two cat extractors that we have in our SFp1 downloads section, under utiliies/editors. Directions on how to use them are in the Knowledge Base.

To the best of my knowledge, AIM-9Ls and 9Ms leave a minimal trail, at best. Watch the sidewinder launches and intercepts towards the end of this video: http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/Guest/5/

Perhaps they were illegally parked, hence, they were ticketed and towed by the Third Wire Parking Enforcement Bureau.

What patch level? I've even started to see Veltro's Beriev A-50s parked on Soviet airbases with the June 2010 patch.

In that situation, he doesn't. He just gets shot down.

As it was a green laser, it was purposely done to incapacitate. The human eye is most sensitive to shades of green, and makes little or no effort to block green light. All "dazing" weapons are green for that reason http://www.laserenergetics.com/dazerlaser.htm

Your RWR entries are fine. You must learn to accept the fact that the MiG-25 is not a dogfighter. It is an interceptor. Every airforce that's made that error, has lost MiG-25s.

Corn...........................used to be a buck an ear......................

The AA-9 was semi-active homing. And, unless TK "hid" something new in the various avionics.dll files of the June 2010 patch, the answer's, unfortunately, no.

Really? What about the AIM-54 (Phoenix)?

Are you sure that your OS is installed in 64-bit mode? This line, "Total Physical Memory 3.25 GB", suggests otherwise. A 32-bit OS has that limitation. Also, the maximum physical memory that a 32-bit application (such as any TW game) will utilize, is 1024 mb, and that's irregardless of whether it's running on a 32-bit, or a 64-bit OS. EDIT: I stand corrected, a 32-bit app can only utilize 2048 mb (2 gb) of physical memory under a 64-bit OS, not the 1024 mb / 1 gb that I had mentioned earlier. Perhaps this article may be of some assitance to you: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/vista-workshop,1775-7.html

There is no such thing as an "air-to-air" or "surface-to-air" missile RWR The acronym "RWR" (Radar Warning Reciever) itself should provide a clue as to what its function is. And that is, obviously, to warn the aircrew of the presence, and the mode of, any radars in the area, whether they be ground-based, or airborne. You're undoubtedly getting shot down by IRMs (InfraRed Missiles), which one must acquire visually in order to avoid.

High Flight, Lufwaffe style....

It appears that there are certain conditions that have to be met, first: Your flight must be engaged, the enemy must have a numerical or tactical advantge over you (you're outnumbered, or you've lost members of your flight through attrition. Your flight is tasked with a strike or a bombing mission, and is not loaded out for A2A).

Wrench, The last time I recall seeing "High Flight" was during the Spring break of my freshman year in high school...easy to recall, as by then (1973) the NYC-area network affiliates (ABC, CBS, NBC) didn't sign off on weekdays until after 3:00 AM To those of you who weren't around during the 60s, most networks signed off for the night between midnight and 1:30 AM, except on Fridays and Saturdays, leaving one to stare at a test pattern, like the one below....

I've always thought that the USAF made a mistake in not ordering a few for further evaluation.
