I used to use that but not any more - but its best to find out the distance of the Migs first if you can from AWACs - under 20 miles in 2010 I would consider not turning around incase they had R-77s. Under 5 miles then run to your nearest F-22 / F-15 flight - because turning quickly will burn your speed off, theres no easy way to aquire them unless you have labels on (or use padlock)- and you will just walk into their missiles. On the other hand they may be on a CAS mission or out of ammo - so you could get lucky!!

Havnt played that so will take your word for it If I play F4 consistently my landings will improve to the point where I not only land straight but can keep the nose wheel up - still with plenty of time to stop. If I dont play it for a few months - then it will mean lots of dodgy landings till I practise it again!

Why did they have to paint the nose like that! someone in the paint shop needs a kicking

Thanks man Has the width been reduced on those pics? - the F-22 looks more stubby than I thought it was

F-15 Baz
MigBuster replied to Stick's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Only ever seen 4 AIM-9 stations on the wings max - probably a reason for this -
Heres one way start at about 2000 AGL - keep the FPM on the near end of the runway to keep a shallow decent - keep the speed about 190kts Flare when you are near the ground as normal - dont lift the FPM above about 12 degrees otherwise you land on your a*se. As soon as you land hold down k - put throttle to zero - and if you are not straight get the nose down and put the NWS on (while holding down k still) - keeping it on the runway and breaking are priority. Theres no foolproof way - even now the final landing can be touch and go for me sometimes - u just need to practise - the SF series dont quite prepare you for this nightmare!

Read the post above then you will find out Dont take the manual word for word - a lot has changed since it was released Treat the manual as a rough quick start guide - you will learn most things from forums and online flying Also you can change the key mapping if you really want to use the Y key
-
This is for both Air and Ground engagements If its just your wingman press W to get the menu then press 4 for weapons free If its one of your element press E then 4 for weps free If its everyone in your flight press R then 4 Before you do it blindly check if they will just be flying alone head first into 4 SU-27s Yes you can also use the TAB key to access all the menus too You will see if you keep pressing the W,R, Or E key you will scroll though all the commands for the wingman menu - there are loads - good luck

Campaigns...to runway start or not to runway start...?
MigBuster replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
(WOE) I always take off and land - and use time acceleration to x16 over friendly territory - then switch it off as I hit soviet airspace. On the way back I often get back to friendly territory - then if I think I have enough fuel I will use ALt+n to go back to base - or just land at the nearest base if im low on fuel. Suppose you could just alt+n and pretend you did some A-A refuelling on the way back :) -

Wings Over Israel [Official Thread]
MigBuster replied to column5's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thats been there from SFP1 days - best to just use it as a reference for your real drop point :) From what i remember - when dive bombing in Flight Of the Intruder (an old game) you would set the MIL setting depending on dive angle and altitude which would move the sight to a more accurate location when bombing - so I assume its trying to represent that in a very basic way. As for rockets best to strafe - im sure the sight may be acurate for a spit second at a certain altitude/distance depending on the speed you are travelling! -
Nice work - looks stunning

Wings Over Israel [Official Thread]
MigBuster replied to column5's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
There are no bombing aids like LABs, DIANNE, Dive toss etc - mostly you have to work out your own dive bombing and level bombing approaches - however CCIP is implemented in the later jets such as the A-10 - so some one nice would have to modify the HUD to get it working. -

I havnt seen bouncing planes for years - and that was only in 3rd party add on jets that hadnt been upgraded Was that happening with 3rd party or the original stock planes? What version of SFP1 are you running - have you installed the latest Patches? http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_sfp1.htm -
