OK during a flight thru the mountains I found this out..neg. Gs effect on pilots: and this is the view from the RIOs seat( I fly a Phantom):

OK a few quick tips on dog fighting the F-4..first off Don't get suckered into a turn fight,F-4 isn't a turn fighter,second-use your wingman(if you have one)fight as a team.Remember this is a POWERFUL jet..use the power to extend if you have to,then re engage.the main advantage of the Phantom over alot of jets is it's radar,learn it,use it,live to fight another day.besure to bring gun pods(Phantoms don't come standard with guns).learn to fly low and fast,use the terrain to your advantage,It's very temping to stay and play with migs...DON'T ever do this,Migs can out turn you and they have guns AND cannons.I'll be posting more on thisa soon as I'm still learning this great fighter.This is for MP as human pilots do things the AI pilots never thought of(so to speak).In single player mode the AI isn't that good so you use these tactics for practice or use the ones that seem to work best for you.

I was in a shallow dive..no neg. Gs and I was low on the deck.I'm wondering if the MK-82 500lbs are snake eyes without the brakes but using their FM?I haven't tried that before but I will be tring it again,as I just read the MK-82 500LBs are the snake-eyes in the game and that the FM of the "snakes" makes it a bad thing to do to drop in a dive,shallow or not.

By all means...any help is always appriciated.Also to automatically try to lock up your visual target the default keys are Shift-Insert.Also don't forget that terrain can mask your target,and alot of times once you lose visual contact you'll also lose radar lock. Also not about the radar but when you fire a Sidewinder don't forget these are REAR aspect missiles and WON'T track unless fired at a target from the rear..also they can be fooled by things like flares,and even the sun.

I guess I've been one of the lucky ones and haven't had any trouble,so far.But heres what I do before starting a game I reboot my system and close ALL back ground programs...my virus scan and everything is shut down. I do a defrag and scandisc about 2 times a week on my system,and make sure my drivers are up to date and NO beta drivers.This might help some of thte troubles I see people having...maybe

I noticed that the Hyperlobby client is looking in the wrong directory for the exe file when you go to launch game you'll need to type in or better yet just copy this in: C:Program FilesStrategy FirstStrike FightersFlightsim.exe I think I got all the stuff in that.if that's not right just open your SF folder and get the properties from the exe file.Hope this helps. I edited this so it would also show the correct path.Thanks for pointing that out.Thanks Gray Ghost for pointing that out...my bad

Just a wish for a mission editor where I can place my flight and other assets.and it would work for both single and multiplayer missions.My wish list is short...make the drag chutes work,make the snake eyes available,and add USMC and USN ranks to the campain :D . Other than that I'm pretty happy with things.

Hey Target..First off enjoyed the game at HL,Thanks. Yes it's not the key map but it's Shift+Esc for eject. just FYI if you fly a bomber then Ctrl+O opens the bomb bay doors.These can be remapped in the options section of the game.

heres the way I do it...first once a target shows up then use the HOME button to select this target,You can increase the range to pick them up further away,then once you have your target selected then use the INSERT button to aquire and bracket the target.If your target is right off your nose I suggest using the boresight mode,give it a few mins to lock as the old radar isn't nearly as fast as that in other sims,ie. F4 and the Janes flight sims,but it's really a hoot.If the target won't bracket then try to close the range as this helps...I've had to close to 1.0 miles before it locks sometimes.The sidewinder is a heat seeker so radar isn't required for it..just a good tone and close range,you'll be just outside gun range for a heater. Oh yeah also remember that different planes have different radar capibilities,and modes.

will they ever add...

I don't see them and looked for the loadout ini file to see if it was on there and just disabled but I don't see this,if you know where I can find this I will look and see if I can find these. -
I'm not sure why but this thing is a hoot! It's slow and sluggish,but I guess most any plane would feel like that after flying the A-4,but I was curious and tried to see if I could fly them in MP so I clicked the MP button selected host then had most of the planes in the game ready for me to fly! Migs are fun,but C--130 is a beast and fun.a couple of points gear won't work and the flaps onced deployed won't retract. I also like the 0-1E Bird Dog.
