That was true in early YF-16 development - but not in the production models This from ex F-16 Test Pilot Joe Bill Dryden (Code1 Magazine): As the YF-16 progressed more and more toward an operational configuration, numerous small changes appeared in the stick and armrest/wristrest geometry. The first stick did not move at all, but rather depended strictly on the amount of force you were using to determine the desired pitch or roll rate. It was possible to fly the airplane very well with this fixed stick, but it was decided it would be still better if a small amount of motion was added. The stick still moves only three-sixteenths of an inch aft, three-thirty seconds left and right, and next to nothing forward. Although this is a very small amount, it is sufficient to give you the tactile cue of making an input. It also lets you know when you’re up against the limiter - something that was difficult to do with the old fixed stick.

From the information and photos I found at the time of putting them up - the B-57A and RB-57A have the same glass nose and goldfish bowl canopy as the Canberra B.mk2. There were 8 x B-57As which never entered service, although the RB-57A was the first production version and went into service - although they were withdrawn by 1970.

Rename the .ini file from MiG-21F.ini to MiG-21F_YU.ini - needs to be the same as the folder

F-16AM F-22A F-4F F-5E (Swiss display team) Su-22M2 (Polish AF) RNLAF F-16AM and AH-64 double act Vulcan B.2 F-16AM RNLAF ME108 Taifun (news to me) F-16CJ B50 (USAFE - SP) Su-22M2 ME109G-4 & Spitfire LF Vb Hunter FGA.9 B-52H AMX

All those planes above come with Yankee Air Pirate 2 with cockpits and side facing gun sights - its a payware add on for WOV created by a Vietnam F-4 pilot - consists of over 100 scripted real missions - see their website. If an aircraft you download from here has a particular bombsight set up they should come with a readme informing you which keys to use or to map. - if not then its just manual guesswork bombing. The games themselves are not set up for flying bombers so there is no inbuilt code to support them - its a case of using 'workarounds'. The B-57A in the SF2 downloads has a pit with a bombsight - but this functionality is built into the 3rd party cockpit that comes with it.

ooo nice

Cheers Nesher Would have been ace to see the vast array of classic jets available back in the 70s Mr Derk!! Heres one you might like

Am using Firefox 3.6.7 with flash player 10 and dont have not seen that issue - although I am on Win7 64. Does this happen with IE or any other browsers? - suspect it could be a graphics driver issue.

amazing work there looks fantastic

All the key commands for your game are in the options section in the actual game - or look at default.ini in the "controls" mod folder. Do you have YAP2 or something?

I expect that over the years the time required for burn through would decrease and the range of the weapon would increase. Potentially satelites and ICBMs could be taken out very easily - no wonder the Chinese have been testing it out over the years (well from whats reported). Weaknesses - probably radar guided at distance, and its a beam that goes back to its source. I see the patent for that countermeasure above was 1987! wonder what else is about. will be interesting to see whats comes of this over the years!

Happy Birthday to you

Incredible you got to speak to Douglas Bader - this year is the 70th aniversary of the BoB so the program had a big feature on the man himself - didnt realise he was president from 76 until his death in 1981. There was a lot there - although that shot of the F-117 and the Red Arrows is a sight to behold!! Some other things i didnt photo - (1. Battery ran out 2. no good at photography) Spitfire LF mk9 and Eurofighter Typhoon duel synchronised low speed display - amazing new A400M display Spits, Hurricanes and BF109/108s flying together. FA-18F (US Navy) display Gripen NG (Static)

Wow thats impressive
