Thank you

Two things make me happy : - I am not an ennemy of the US - I am not a US taxpayer

I only have a Q6600 with 4 GB of Ram

I know that I also experience some performances problems, but texture reduction improves things

My grandmother was wautress for a very old woman who had a cat. When the old woman died, the cat slept on her and died there. Actually, the case of the cat is very complex and scientifically fascinating : Basically, unlike the dog, the cat is a solitary animal so its social behaviour can only be based on its behaviour toward its mother, brothers / sisters, kitties. So a cat, when dealing with human, will mimic one of those or sometimes a mix of those. Cats and man relations are around 3000 years : it is a symbiosis relation when agriculture arose : Cat was eating all sorts of birds / mice / rodents and therefore protecting men's harvest. Men protected and cured cats (from parasites ..). Then Drawin comes into play : domestic cats started to adapt to men and create relations with men. Some cats have a specific language when they communicate with men, you will notice that they try to reproduce some of our speech (of course with some limits). This is normal because communicating with men (and gaining men's affection) brings cats an evolutive advantage (especially control and protection of the Kitties) The difficulty is that you have both wild cats and domestic cats mixed, therefore the natural evolution (Darwin) does not affect them the same way (let alone that the speciy evolution is not fully fixed, unlike dogs) and when you get the cat, it is hard to know whether it is an "evoluted version" or a "wild version" or a mix of both. Note that dogs mimics with man their usual social behaviour. Basically, you will have "alpha" dogs, which will try to dominate you and other dogs, which will more easily obey you. It can be detected, if you lie a (young) dog on its back : if it tries to stand up violently, it is likely you will have an "alpah specimen".

Add Mirage F1 and 2000 (it's a little later : 1984) Both good to play or as "agressors" : Irak vs Iran / Western coalitions .. Su-24 (mainly as agressor) Mig-25

That's better and better !

Yes, that's why SF2 campaigns are interesting. For instance, I love flying a VN Mig-21 in a sky full of yankee air pirate and plan carefully my "ambush". In SF2E also, you have to plan carefully your egress to avoid being ambushed by an ennemy. I had a lot of funny missions in all sorts of campaigns because the hunter can always become the "hunted"

I am really looking forward to fly this Mirage especially over Europe !

It looks great.

'Oh My God" would not neither

That's very impressive !

According to what I read on Acig : The Mirage F1C and Mig23MLD have basically the same maneuvrability (Mig better in vertical, Mirage in horizontal, but not by much either) The F4E is also within the same class (but I think it is a "slatted wing version"). As to the comparison between Mirage F1 and Mirage III, some french pilots were not very enthousiastic and would have rather had a Mirage III with more fuel, more thrust and a better radar. Check also here : http://www.acig.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=527 From Air Fan, n°96 (November 1986) on the Viggen J-37E : Mach = 0.7, load = 2 sidexinders Sea level : radius = 3350 m 6000 m : 6.3 degrees/s The Saab 37E was the variant for the 1975 european bid (french name "marché du siècle") variant. As a comparison : for the F16A seal level : 1370 m radius 6000 m : 10.7 degres/s (with 2 sidewinders) Another information on peformances : the AJ-37 takes off in less than 400 m at a speef of 290 km/h and aOa = 13 degrees, with no load except central fuel tank. About teh viggen :

Some info on the Mig-23MLD performances : http://backfiretu-22m.tripod.com/id16.html I have somewhere the complete flight manual (in Russian) ...

Good luck, hope it will not be too uncomfortable and my wish for full recovery to you !
