Sukhoi Su-7BM "Fitter" - Hellenic Air Force, 1968

At high altitude Flying inverted Draken go high!

Have this problem for long time but don't know what causes this. Some aircrafts such as Mirage IIICZ (by ludo) or the Mirage 5D (by paulopanz) appear with two external fuel tanks by default even though I haven't selected them in the loadout menu. Mirage IIICZ appears with two 625 drop tanks and Mirage 5D appears with two 1300 drop tanks by default. The point is that in the loadout menu I don't select them (empty center station) plus they can not be jettison. An another problem is that only stock Libyan Mirage 5D fuel tank skin appears normal. Fuel tanks for EAFCamo or LARAFCamo2 are completely black. Any ideas? Thanks.

Mikoyan-Gurevich Mig-21SMP - Soviet Air Defense Forces (PVO), 1971 Since the introduction of the Mig-23M along with the R-23 (AA-7 Apex) missile was about to take place around 1973-74, it was decided in 1968 that a fighter with medium range missile capability and with performance comparable to Mig-21S, should enter service. Existing PVO aircrafts such as Su-11, Su-15 or Yak-28P could carry R-98 (AA-3 Anab) missile but they were dedicated interceptors with poor maneuverability. PVO decided that a Mig-21 version with the ability to carry R-98 should be built. At the time, Mig-21S to Mig-21SM upgrading process had already started. The main aspect of the whole project was the radar compatibility with the missile and Mig-21SM was equipped with RP-22 (Sapfir-22) radar which could not cooperate with R-98. An improved radar was in need and it was decided that RP-22 should be upgraded to be compatible with the missile. When the first Mig-21SM aircrafts became operational in 1969, it was decided that a number of Mig-21SMs will be further upgraded with the addition of the new radar. Work on radar began in 1969 using a Mig-21PFM as a testbed. The new radar was the RP-22P with maximum search range at 28 km and maximum track range at 14 km against a fighter size target, performance which was considered good enough for PVO requirements. R-98 was much heavier than the R-13 (AA-2 Atoll) and the Mig-21SMs that would carry the missile got back to the factory to strengthen their underwing resistance. In 1971 the RP-22P was ready and fitted to Mig-21SM. The airframes which were fitted with the new radar became known as Mig-21SMP.

Flying lower than 1500 ft in SF2 means that you're quite safe from SAM threats (not MANPDAS). Maybe you can be tracked but there will be no missile launch. In most SAMs minimum track altitude is set to 100m or 300m but these limits seem that don't work. You can actually fly at 400m (~1300 ft) but still no launch or even no tracking. Any ideas on how to lower this limit, so that a SAM radar can track and launch a missile at lower altitude?

Short range SAMs like SA-13 or SA-15 indeed can engage enemy aircraft at very low altitudes but do you get a launch at 500 ft from SA-2, SA-3 or SA-6 ?

Usual AGM guidance can be modified via weapons editor but in ASM the type of guidance cannot be changed. So, any idea on how to convert a conventional AGM to ASM ?

No, CGR is for Radio Command Guidance and this type of guidance can be selected via weapons editor. I want to convert conventional types of guidance (like the CGR) to ASM type of guidance and vice versa (keep in mind that this type of guidance was introduced in SF2NA). Stock K-10S, KSR-5, Kh-22 have ASM guidance and if you try to change their type of guidance via weapons editor you will realize that you can't.
