Yes its fine - install the DX package from Microsoft. SF1 will not use DX10 or 11 only DX9.

Will let you know if I get around to playing it. I guess proving how much of an advantage the AI has is the difficult thing. what you have descibed above makes it sound no different to the previous patches tbh which I was rather liking.

Yes I believe he did

Happy birthday and many of them

haha good find

Some great shots there - pretty cool seeing the A-1 Was at RAF Fairford today - the F-22A was doing its stuff - has to be seen to be believed - truly amazing low speed high alpha performance - all to the ending tune of the Transformers film and an enthusiastic USAF commentator Met a USAFE F-16CJ pilot in the burger van queue - of course I asked him if they still practised guns only Dog fighting!!

TK says it is the last for gen 1 on his page - the next Exp packs will be sf2 only

Change the <jets>_data.ini to Availability=RARE and try - that used to have an effect

Fascinating story

Yes its surprising how little trail they leave behind - although suspect the rocket motor has been upgraded somewhat since 1979 - will see if there are any 1980s launches to compare. With the DX10 graphics we should also be able to see the launch flash in lower light compared to how it was in SF1.

depends on the sidewinder model In game after 1978 you would want to keep jets with sidewinders at a distance - before then they will be rear aspect so it would be a case of not flying straight in the combat zone for too long and checking your 6 constantly - they should be easy to avoid then. Viewing missile launches from jets is not easy in this game (even with a trackIR) compared to some others - and IRL is probably easier if you saw the MiG-29 shooting down the UAV (with probably an R-73) - left quite a smoke trail - reminded me of a Falcon 4 scenario Id seen too often! The same problem exists for IR MANPADs (SA-7/9/15 etc) launched at you as well - if you decide to add any in.

Are you forcing on AA and AF in the graphics card settings? Also does that mobile low power graphics chipset you have actually do DX10/11 - or is it DX9 only?

Target last radio call with um ctrl + R or something - check your control options. do that then padlock with F4 - which will turn your head towards that site - there is no way to target an incoming missile itself that Im aware of.

Are there any lenses that can give protection against this?

forgot about that! - actually the AA-9 probably did as well - does the SF RWR actually pick these up? - cant remember ever putting AHMs in game.

None of them are a patch on the F-16 - and where's the Spitfire - sorry no vote

The RWR will pick up airbourne radars - although in SF1 its VERY basic compared to whats in SF2 . Also note that it will only pick up RADARs - thats the radar on another jet or a radar on a SAM /AAA site etc - no radar guided missiles in this period have their own active radars so cant be picked up. in the MiG-25x_avionics.ini file check for similar to this [TextureData] RadarTexture=Cabina/RP-21.bmp RWRTexture=Cabina/RWR.bmp ....... [RWR] Type=3_RING AirSearchTexture=Cabina/RWR1.tga AirTrackTexture=Cabina/RWR2.tga AirLockTexture=Cabina/RWR3.tga GroundSearchTexture=Cabina/RWR1.tga GroundTrackTexture=Cabina/RWR2.tga GroundLockTexture=Cabina/RWR3.tga SearchPosition=0.0 TrackPosition=0.4 LockPosition=01.3715 SearchSize=0.01 TrackSize=0.315 LockSize=1.0 SearchFlash=TRUE SearchFlashRate=0.4 TrackFlash=TRUE TrackFlashRate=0.2 LockFlash=TRUE LockFlashRate=0.1 TrackSound=MiGTrack.wav LockSound=MiGLock.wav [RWRTrackSound] Priority=HIGH 3DSound=FALSE Looped=TRUE NumBuffers=1 [RWRLockSound] Priority=HIGH 3DSound=FALSE Looped=TRUE NumBuffers=1 In the MiG-25x_data.ini check [DetectSystem] ...... HasRWR=TRUE <---------- Good luck - but dont feel too down - you have picked probably the hardest jet to fly in combat - in reality its avionics and missiles were no match for the IAF F-15As - thats one reason it was such a turkey shoot for Israel.

Haha - havent got one of those yet - would like the Spitfire one tbh - would be an improvement on my old Ford Fiesta manuals that I spent hours covering in oil!

Congrats Spain - Guess I was right after all! The ref probably missed the karate kick - the Ref also had a dilema of not sending off too may players in a WC final after booking nearly the whole team in the first 10 mins

You are kidding me - gonna have to try that out

Its been said before: Yeah, all you f***ers wish you flew the Viper Probably since the time you wore a diaper We got every mission that you do And we fly 'em all better than you Yeah, all you f***ers wish you flew the Viper 'Cause we're single seat, multi-role We can fly right up our own asshole Yeah, all you f***ers wish you flew the Viper
