Wow - totally amazing work!

An EM chart for an F-8 is what you need - you should get a better idea of what altitudes and speeds the F-8 may be best at if you compare it against the MiG-21F-13 one from Have Doughnut. Then all you need is a flight sim that does HF flight models of both!

See area51specialprojects.com/video/have_doughnut_tactical.swf area51specialprojects.com/video/havedoughnut_technical.swf Its still too much of a generalization to me - where is the instantaneous turn better? in the 0 degrees horizontal only?, at what speed and altitude? and if the MiG-21 has missiles under the wings and the F-8 is clean, the MiGs advantage might be cancelled out for example - in combat 2 platforms are unlikely to meet up in exact configurations. There is a chart in that lot for an F-4D (4 x Aim-7s + 50% fuel) vs Fishbed C (2 x Atolls and 50% fuel) - this is near the level of detail you want - however the performance changes if you change the stores and amount of fuel both have - so what 1 may be good at under one set of parameters - the other platform might be best under another set. For example over Vietnam the F-4D might have jettisoned its stores because a MiG-21F was about (with 2 x Atolls) - but the F-4D now has 4 AIM-7s, 2 x AIM-9s and a Gun Pod all creating extra drag and weight and thus totally invalidating the chart - because the MiG-21F is potentially far more agile against that than the analysis suggests.

Its traveled about 15 metres - there must be a lot to see!

Basic way to do that in DCS A-10 - you go to options, select A-10 sim and All to see the full list Select the column for the controller and and row for item you want to assign to. Press add to get the add pop up box - then press a button on stick

Facebooks buzzing though - thats their main portal to the world now

For the actual technical figures Yefim Gordons books are pretty useful. Figures by themselves arn't much use in determining actual combat performance - all the figures have to work together in a dynamic unpredictable environment. for example - Weight will vary with fuel and stores carried - which will also cause drag and slow it down. In a hot environment you also have reduced thrust (jet engines are better in the cold etc) which will reduce performance significantly. The VPAF were supplied with: MiG-21F-13 MiG-21PF(V) MiG-21PFM MiG-21MF MiG-21U/US/UM No answer really - depends on weapons used, IFF systems (used in 72), ROE, tactics used (still using fighting Wing?) experience of the MiG pilot (VPAF pilots got a lot of experience at that time - they flew for the entire conflict!), endurance. In a lot of cases the MiG-21 was used as a hit and run fighter - it would intercept a US flight (via GCI) at speed, fire its missiles, which would hit the unsuspecting flyers, then hit the deck and get back to base at speed.

Thought there was one built in to SF2V with others - have you looked under Single Mission -> Load Mission?

Well I went to the store - and yes the best you can do is get an SF2 title for $29.99 then a few DLCs (although FE2 is a steal at $19.99) If you went for Europe you would get: Player Flyable Aircraft A-7D Corsair II A-10A Thunderbolt II F-100D Super Sabre F-105D Thunderchief F-4C/D/E/F/M Phantom II F-15A Eagle Harrier GR.1/3 Hunter FGA.9 DLCs Mirage 5BA $5.99 F-8E (FN) $3.99 So thats not too bad really (mainly if you don't have other titles with those jets) - and SF2 does have going for it that these are all revamped 3D pits and 3D models to the same standard! (pity the terrain is **** but that can be changed for free.)

Just got to laugh really - surprised hes not in the Expendables

After successfully managing to compressor stall my left engine to the point I couldn't start it again - I had to make a 1 engined landing - which made me lose a wheel in the mud. Was unaware however that Yoda was a USAF mech and would somehow levitate my A-10 in the air repairing all the faults Tadaaaaaa - just like new - if only he could have found a way to retract the ladder as well - I might have taken off again to stress test the engines once more.

Hilarious

Reality is most are going no where - there is nothing out there with the variety and quick fix SF2 gives you - and a lot of the add on's still work (for the time being). Had to laugh at the people moaning at FC3 - 10 years old rehash with a new F-15C model and pit (non clickable) they say - sound familiar? But all the 3D pits and different types of Jets and terrains are what SF2 has over everything else - and I can still enjoy flying them. For me the latest patches are screwed up by whatever avionics60 is doing - so have left most of my installs at Nov11 and apr12. - and they will continue to live alongside Falcon 4 BMS and DCS A-10C - but whether TW still get my support depends really - if he wants to lock away the terrain files then he'd better come up with some good terrains to replace the **** that comes with the game.

Pah - I get them - and I'm not 40 - and cant they airbrush some of those photos - yuck

"hmmm - now did I actually pack the parachute?"

oh........well they seem to advertise it for min specs http://www.digitalco...product&lang=en is that official?

Check their forums out as a starter Thats still DX9 - so could be related to the version you are using.

If you are after WVR guns only with AI this is not the sim for you - stick to SF2 The AI was deadly in Allied Force WVR and BVR but it seems BMS are more about the Multiplayer experience - WVR the AI are no problem as you state. However in BVR you can get your ass handed to you on a plate - and they are pretty good at denying your radar lock etc. For me its a lot of fun setting up TEs 4 v 4 is especially for this - because using your radar and keeping up SA is what you need to be good at - you should never be looking to merge. The AIM-120s work very well (So do the R-77/73 and AIM-9X) The FLCS has been coded to the last line of the real thing - so you wont find a better sim in this regards. The avionics are spectacular - HMCS and being able to slave TGP to radar for A-A. And the campaign is just amazing whatever way you look at it.

Wonder why Ive never heard of that masterpiece!
