MigBuster

Do you mean the ability to change the pitch angle of the antenna independently?

haha - With the real thing you had to go into a "low powered glide" at about 20,000ft then guide the thing down with a little joystick - while doing this you were a sitting duck. best advice with this one is take 10 x Mk117s instead :)

Many congratulations on the continuation of an exceptional project

handles well in the snow too!!

Install the latest patch unless you have good reason not too?

Are you using Vista by any chance? Have you patched the game to latest version? if not go to thirdwire and download the latest patch

The skyflash although used the body of the Sparrow had a pretty advanced seeker head on it - which may or may not have made it comparible to the AIM-7M - unless they were compared under similar test fire conditions theres no way to compare them.

A touchy subject - as there is limited information on the real accuracy of each missile against flares. just put the AIM-9L to the same params as the AA-11 using the weapons editor - sorted

Dont feel to down - the MiG-17F is a superfighter in WOI - it follows an F-15A up to 700 +kts and turns with it no problem at those speeds - which just wouldnt happen with the real thing that didnt have powered flight controls- but hey it keeps you on your toes. On The other hand the stock MiG-21 series needs a bit more agility it is out turned far too easy by just about anything IMO.

Theres a load on here: F-104 downloads The flight models probably havnt been upgraded for most of them - so try them out they might be alright - and they might need a few tweaks here and there.

Im happy with getting feedback tbh :)

1 way If your back is turned is - get down low - put on your ground radar on and avoid any white dots till you hit freindly territory

How realistic would you want it though - it was a pain to implement it in Falcon 4 - and LP changed it about 4 times between 2005 and 2008 also. I rarely use it - its not always required for campaigns and its fun for the first 5 minutes. The player would need to manage where the tanker was placed to make use of it - any auto placement would see it flying 80 miles away when you need it (as happens in Falcon when you dont set its waypoints) Something TK would have to address is a stable KC-135 if he put it in - with an automated boom - and maybe on easy mode an autopilot would take over and do it for the player - still quite a lot of work there!

Yes they are fantastic - you can zoom in with your head too in these games. I wouldnt fly without one - takes a bit of getting used to - also make sure you have the sensor on the monitor pointing away from sun light. I have tweaked the viewlist.ini file to give a bit more freedom of movement - so just say if you want that when you get it.

Last time I played the stock RT 1965 they came in from 1965 - in the real thing the first F-4C was lost to an SA-2 on 24th July 1965 pretty sure that had no RWR either. Having a tracKIR i used to listen for the SAM calls and spot the inbound direction - the early SAMs are easy to avoid if you keep it in your front 180 and change altitude by a few thousand ft - this is without any ECM/RWR/ countermeasures To help pressing R when a SAM call is made will target the Site - you can then use F4 to give the direction of it. One thing I used to do was put back the SA-2F start date to 1968 because they were death rays even with ECM - although I think these have been toned down in later patches

Havnt played Rolling thunder for a while - the SAMs should come in from 65 though I think - cant remember without checking - and they are only the SA-2C version at first

Well i'll drink to that mate

1. Does it happen to the game when there are no mods installed with the Oct 2008 patch? 2. if not then install a fresh copy and carefully add the mods back in - because one of them is causing the issue you will need to test the game out as you are installing things back into it.

yeah your stuck with the flare thing - but guess its good to have some feedback - you wont get that info from the pits in most cases

towed decoys :) - you might have to do it like the refueling drogues on the A-4/A-6/A-3s in Yankee Air Pirate??

Nice one TMF - superb work on these babies!

thar she is - looking ace!!!

That should sort out those flippin birds

Find your advanced settings on the graphics card - and I cant speak for ATI cards but you should be able to set up a profile for WOE/WOV etc etc blah in each profile you should be able to up the anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering - which will make a difference - you will need to experiment to find the best settings though - to much of the above will slow you right down!! as for issues with ATI cards try a search basically unless someone here can advise - its likely you should get non shimmering trees with ATI cards??
