Well yes all A-G - however a pilot does state he strafed an unknown IrAF aircraft sitting at Balad.

Flying at M3 / 80kft with a massive afterburner plume out the back of it I suspect the F-12 would have been as detectable as the SR-71 (aka very). Then at that altitude detecting smaller very low flying targets in ground clutter is a massive issue despite the pulse doppler tech that had come about. You might have had to put radar and IRST on the bottom of the jet to keep any lower targets in sweep considering the closing speed etc. Easy to see why the YF-108/12 was scrapped because the concept could only be used for recon or high altitude bomber interceptor (also see MiG-25 v Iran & Israel in the 80s). In OIF in 2003 most of the aircraft in theatre used their guns (even F-14s). The 77th EFS (F-16s) fired over 7000rnds - some of that was literally when they were out of other ordnance - so they are still used - although suspect a show of force can be effective in some situations for a/c without them.

Somebody has claimed to get it working with a dev model I assume: Just in case anyone is interested I have managed to get all the SF2 series games working perfectly with the Oculus Rift with only very minimal hacking! You basically need 2 bits of software, Opentrack 2.0 which is free for the headtracking and Nthusim HMD early access build which takes care of the image split, Nthusim site here:- http://www.forums.nthusim.com/viewforum ... 62b71521fc It only in 2D for the moment as Nthusim are still working on the 3D side of things but the experience is really immersive and very playable, flying the Lightninig and Hunter in VR is something I've dreamed of doing for years! Only hacks I had to make were in the options.ini to set the Aspect Ratio to 1.00000 (this is due to a bug with the latest build of Nthusim) and I then hacked the head motion yaw and pitch limits for each aircraft so you can turn your head wherever you want which feels much more natural, I used the following limits:- MaxYaw=210 MinYaw=-210 MaxPitch=180 MinPitchFront=-90 MinPitchRear=-90 If anyone is interested I can do a full write up of how to get it all working, it really is very easy though and I can also upload the hacked aircraft files to drag and drop if anyone really want them? Enjoy! Des PS I also got AeroflyFS and Xplane 9 & 10 working with the Rift now!

Are you saying it was rolling to one side like it wasn't trimmed properly (or had more weight on one wing like a single drop tank?). If its only this jet then - was it rolling for the entire flight? Could be FM error Could be you were hit by flak did you have any stores Could be an old bug - jettison stores used to fix it (there is no trim in this)

Did they or is it just releasing a lot of flares?

Okay is an Su-27 in the photo (Russian Knights paintscheme?) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2587292/Turkey-says-shot-Syrian-fighter-jet-violating-airspace.html

Yes you get good and bad drivers - especially with older games - I still use an older driver for Falcon 4s benefit - newer ones will work but its often a case of trial and error.

You mean CD? - no TK went totally download only for SF2/FE2 The SF2V exe is about 490 MB for example - not too bad - but TK will refund you if you cant DL it

Ha - yep that's just the mainstream press for you (thought it was a MiG-29 personally)

File Name: HD Menu Screens for First Eagles 2 File Submitter: MigBuster File Submitted: 09 March 2014 File Category: First Eagles Hanger, Menu Screens HD 16:9 menu screens for First Eagles 2 (1920 x 1080) created for myself This is a set of Images only - no ini files or changes Click here to download this file

You might be able to change some of it If you see this lower res set http://combatace.com/files/file/6686-guitarclassic55s-replacement-menu-screens-no-movie/ you will see the menu is moved around and replaced with Bitmaps.

TK rearranged the cat files at some point so I expect some of the files that were used in SF and WOE are not included.

A very Happy birthday to you

It will need to be at a certain level first - when you try to install the patch it will moan and tell you. So Mar 2012 - but to get from where you are will require certain other patches - but I cant tell you what you need. If you brought SF2V via the download you will be able to get the latest version directly - if you have the email receipt & password.

I have an SF2V May 2013 exe that I downloaded a while back - so I would say you must be able to go to 2013

I thought you could go to SF2 July 2013 - but am thinking now whether that's just for a merged install. http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads.htm

Depends on the majority - wasn't aware the Majority had enough knowledge to know either way? 1. There are some things you need to consider - in the mid 80's you had the AIM-7M (not the AIM-7D/E). You have to ask how many Su-27s would have been operational and trained up (F-15 was 1976 and already had combat experience). Also just 6 years later in ODS the ROE allowed BVR using AWACs & NCTR - so in the mid 80s things were already vastly different to Vietnam - only need to look at F-15 operations in 82 to see how good the missiles and radar had become. Also even in Vietnam if you consider the later AIM-7E-2s were used for kills WVR - the AIM-7M would have probably been a very good WVR weapon. Now what scenario are you talking about? - for example In a WW3 conventional conflict there would have been a lot of merges simply down to the amount of aircraft on each side and the limitations of SARH missiles on both sides (hold lock on a single target) - there was no way to detect or take out all of the opposing jets before getting in close (due to the speed things happen) - even if you allowed BVR. So really it would come down to the side with better training, tactics, formation and situational Awareness you could maintain in such a melee. 2. I'm sure they would be flying F-22s if they could - I've not seen anything to suggest they have a choice in this matter.

If you look in the original MiG-15 download - was there anything you had to drop into the effects folder?

Many happy returns Paulo!

The Wing area and length of the F-106 make it look bigger Empty weights from the respective SAC documents suggest F-4B is actually bigger in mass: F-4B = 27,897 lbs F-106A = 24,038 lbs F-15Cs at Lakenheath

They needed to be part of the ship 3D model like you see in YAP

Everything on max hard with limited supply Have done DID before - depends on time and mood
