  1. Sorry to hear - RIP
  2. The colour in those photos looks amazing! Is that a PT-76 at the bottom - only know it from the top view
  3. cheers guys - I got quite a few really close up shots of those JF-17s - interesting how 99% of the writing on them is in English! Yes I was a bit surprised to see a Seahawk getting ready for takeoff - it did a dual display with the Seafire - that photo of it was a low pass in carrier landing config. Forgot this

  5. 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.
  6. 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never entered service, although the RB-57A was the first production version and went into service - although they were withdrawn by 1970.
  7. Rename the .ini file from MiG-21F.ini to MiG-21F_YU.ini - needs to be the same as the folder
  8. 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.
  9. 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

  11. 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.
  12. amazing work there looks fantastic
