I had read in a post that the RWR, unlike as it happens in reality, doesn't detect the lock on of the AHM missiles (like AIM-120 ANRAAM, for ex.) in SF1/SF2. Is this also valid for SF2 NA ?

I had thought this topic was about the Swedish guy "Ghost Rider" protagonist of several videos on his escapes in motorbike at 300km/h from the police ... https://youtu.be/kc-J53XKF_k .... or the movies character "Ghost Rider" ..... https://youtu.be/awOyqGBOHJY .... LOL !!!

Thank you.

Always a pleasure see the flying legend Gen. Chuck Yeager, the man who took us in the supersonic era.

Lt. Col. Fred "Spanky" Clifton gives us detailed informations about the performance of these fighters. And his opinion on the current situation of the air forces. (The first half is on his training, some might find it boring ........) (Excuse me Lt. Col. Fred Clifton ). http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/how-to-win-in-a-dogfight-stories-from-a-pilot-who-flew-1682723379

So, basically you had already posted this article ...................... I couldn't know. Yeah, he had slightly changed his opinion about the F-35. Since different features, mainly avionics, of F-22 and F-35 are still classified, perhaps not even he can have an accurate understanding of the situation. (I also have the impression that the F-35 is really a trap in close dogfight).

Yeah, understood. Nice explanation, Caesar. (I already knew the behaviour of the AHM, but it's good for people who doesn't know). PFunk : yeah, I hate "surprises", perhaps I'll convert all AHM missiles to SAHM.* *Does somebody already done this ???? Did it worked well ???? BTW : Sorry for my english. If someone knows about a good english-italian course, please tell me. (I forgot a lot in recent years).

I tried to use this RWR symbology on EASY AVIONICS in SF2, but it didn't work. Any idea to how to make it work ?

Wow, .... I thought to know pretty much all about the Tomcat, but this video shows really interesting details of the Tom feline. What a wonderful machine it was !!!

RIP

...... He was probably more serious than most politicians already in office ...........................

I have found these two videos about dogfight maneuvers. They are about basic manuevers ..... but I think more than someone will be interested to watch them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5laDQe0w6w ..... And because we are talking about videos .... I'll add one of my favorite videos about dogfights : Dogfight of the Middle East :

Yeah, ...... I really like personality like Ran Ronen, ......................and also Robin Olds ! I have recently seen a documentary about Olds, ......... yes he was more than "someone", ..... as I hurriedly defined him in a post some months ago .................. ( .... Anyway, it was a really silly topic .......... because men like Gen. Patton, Colonel John R. Boyd, Gen: R. Olds, Chuck Norris or "Sly" Stallone are all great men, one in a branch, one in other .... ).

Thanks for the info .................... an interesting deepening ......................... Carrier landing at night = Nightmare ! But, for what I know (... I'm not a fighter pilot ..), the G force tolerance of an untrained average human being is more than 3.5 G, at least 5 ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force Also I have recently saw a video of a jet-fighter enthusiast, who had never flown, who paid for a flight in the back seat of a Russian (private) Mig-29 two-seater, reaching several times more than 7 G. The max G recorded was 8 G. He didn't seem to strive hard, but anyway he lost consciousness once. ( The guy was not particularly strong, he was not a macho ........... ). BTW : Congratulation for your job ! Thanks for your service in defense of the free world !

Very nice !

I have noticed that increasing the speed of the bullet the gun becomes much more precise, and ease a lot of the aim. I tried to create a gun with an higher bullet velocity, 1500 m/sec, but the computerized sight is still set to the previuos bullet speed of 1030 m/s. ( I used the gun editor, copying the "20MM_M61A1", changed the speed from 1030 to 1500 m/s, renamed "20MM_M61A1X", saved, changed the name of the gun in the "data.ini" of the chosen aircraft, "GunTypeName=20MM_M61A1X" ). Does someone know how to set the computerized sight to the new bullet speed ?

I know that a blue messages means that is directed to another friendly squadron, yellow at someone else in your squadron, and red directly to you. But I had NEVER read "You got a bandit at your six o'clock" (... or similar) in red, only always in yellow. But somentimes it's followed by "It's firing" in red. This makes me think that some "You got a bandit at your six o'clock" were obviously directed at me, even though they were in yellow. Is it right ?

.... I was just planning to do an USA skin for this bird, .......... no bad colours.

... If is a tanker to tell me this ........... I believe it. BTW : Thank You for your service in the USA Army.

Thanks. But with all this efforts ....................... perhaps it is more fast if I study how to build a real new faster and more precise cannon for real, build the prototype, test it, perfect it, patent it, and try to sell it to the Air Forces of the free world, ................ and make a lot of money ........ lol.

However, the best thing would be if, both tower and fellows, as probably is in real life, say your name before the message. As, for ex. : << Cowboy 11, bandits, 2 right o'clock, 50 miles >> << Cowboy 11, you got a bandit at your six o'clock >> << Cowboy 11, missile inbound >> etc. ...

The official response was mainly because the YF-22 was more manoeuvrable, .......... and watching the two prototypes I also have this impression ...
