Okay if you want a full on Simulation as well and don't mind WW1 airplanes try OFF you will CFS3 and then OFF installs onto that... Most people barely survive 10 hours flying time before they need a new pilot... There is a Board in here just for OFF as well... I fly it and damn is it hard no aids switched on and flying along fat dumb and happy and out of nowhere comes a pack of Albatrosses and shoot seven shades of death out of my plane...

Take it your looking for a Flight Sim... if so they are thin on the ground. Other Option is to go for DCS but I don't think you can edit that as easily as Thirdwire. Personally I like the SF2 series and I have noticed that they do seem to be a lot better than the SF1 series at dogfighting I have spent some time trying to get gun kills with an A-4 against Mig-21's in SF2 Vietnam... as I found WOI a bit too easy with having all aspect weapons... but you need to download the SF2V mod here to make it sporting with Flak and SAM's etc...

Eurofighter just as good as F-22 if not better !
Slartibartfast replied to Veltro2k's topic in Military and General Aviation
Have to say this is fairly old news though this is from the Luftwaffe as the RAF defeated them at an earlier encounter in close in fighting with the Eurofighter before the 6G Limit was added... the Euro does have some advantages in the close in combat as it is not hampered with its Stealth as the F-22 is... also another advantage over the F-22 is the Pirate IRST which could happily pick up the jet exhaust from the F-22 at certain ranges... -
I will second that one simply because he's a Jarhead... and we need someone to mind the door on a Friday night

Over-G in SF2?
Slartibartfast replied to harryleith's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Yes this does happen... I have done it plenty of times with Hornets and Vipers... the rest is a work in progress best advice for that is to kill the burner on the dive in and pull out you should have enough speed to dodge most things with a dive onto the target with LGB's... -

DCS/FC2 goodness
Slartibartfast replied to streakeagle's topic in Digital Combat Simulator Series General Discussion
I skipped the Helo and went for the A-10 simply as I like the A-10 now flying it is not the challenge its fighting with it setting up LGB's Mavericks etc... must admit I need to spend lots of time practicing maybe when Winter gets here I will get the time as for 6 weeks I am not going anywhere due to a knee operation... -

Soviet invasion of Afghanistan install?
Slartibartfast replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
Also the soviets did use other air to cover for the Helo's Mig-21/23/27 as they did use it as a testbed for weapons as well... -

I have only had DCS A-10C for a week and I am trying to learn how to fly the thing... correction flying the A-10 and firing the gun is simple its all the other stuff... that I need to figure out...
