Wow. Thank you. I used to fly the 4000 in SF1 many years ago before my Win XP computer gave up the ghost. Absolutely loved the cockpit. As it said in my SF1 review from way back then. Recently, I stole the cockpit from SF1 and rammed it into another aircraft in SF2. Worked a treat, or would have if the other aircraft didn't have so many problems of its own.

Then I suddenly thought, the 4000 was in the SF1 What if section.  And I thought What if it's in the SF2 What if section. And sure it was. So thank you. I'm going to have fun with this.

I got this in order to have the permanent external weapon racks removed, and they have been.

I noted that in one of the readmes, it says that it was decided to drop weapon count from the HUD because it wasn't functioning well enough. I'd like to know what the problem is, because I've added a weapon counter using the standard entry, and so far it's not been problematic.

I would have preferred a wider range of weapons. I realise that this model strives for accuracy, but you can't go up against Russian aircraft in Germany or those brilliant Phantoms in Iraq and expect to survive. You need Aim-120C4s at least, because air to air stealth is not modelled, and the only thing that gets you from being creamed is having longer-range missiles than the bad guys.

This cockpit is beautiful. I particularly like the waypoint distance meter and would love to unbolt it and add it to all the other aircraft that I fly.

Because I don't understand kilometres, I re-calibrated it for miles, and it works a treat.

Well, this is brilliant. Beautiful external model. It was a stroke of genius to use the F-4E cockpit, because it feels just right in this aircraft. Amazing amount of fuel it carries, and the aircraft handles as though it is really heavy, which is perfect.

Thank you for this terrific aircraft.

My apologies, but I noticed that the side mirrors show the fuselage missing, so I fixed that in the data entry.

I also noticed that some panels in the cockpit file had cyrillic lettering added, but they didn't show in the cockpit. Was that something that was going to be done, or have I made a mistake in downloading?

I got out my cyan eyeliner and just touched up the cockpit panel, so it looks a little more Russian. Sorry about that. I couldn't help myself.

This would be okay if the black blob fuel tanks could be removed. This is clearly a glitch.

At last, an interceptor with a radar display just below the HUD. Magnifique!
