Its been released. Look for it on the Skunkworks forums. You need to do some file work, but it looks OK. I am currently downloading it.

Well, wasn't the B model Vig meant to be an interceptor or long range fighter? They planned to remove the bomb bay and add a third engine, right?

Dude, Todd, welcome to my world. Every time my physics teacher mentions anything about flight, its like the entire class groans and says, "Talk to Sam. He knows about planes and stuff." The same thing happens in JROTC, sadly.

Thanks, I'm gonna take a look at it right now. Maj., Sorry I didn't see the link in the Radar Mission topic. Can't wait to do some A2A in the O-1E, :D.

So, there isn't a publicly available mission creator yet?

Where can I find this mission generator of yours? I've looked, but evidently not hard enough.

God, Snakeyes are great. Toobad they're missing from SF :D .

I think it was me, but I was talking about all the clouds EXCEPT the overcast ones. I meant that the broken and scattered cloud cover was impossible to fly through. They are just kinda 'painted' onto the background. At least, they are no where near the level of Il-2 (My current benchmark for all things flight sim). Nobody get in a huff or anything, :), I like SF, and I don't mind the clouds. I just wish the scattered and broken were 'real' so that you had to fly above them and do ground attack through holes in the cover.

Mission editor? Can somebody point me to the link?

If you don't want to go messing around with *.ini files, you can download most of the MiG's directly from Marco's site. For the other aircraft, though, you will have to do a little work.

Oh man, I cannot wait. Good 'ol CAS.

Aliens?

MadJeff, LV426? Where is that exactly? Its not a ship, is it?

The best thing about the quality of the A-10 is that it looks like a proper replacement for the aborted Jane's A-10. I can't wait to do some CAS in it.

I like the look of the cloud cover, no matter what the percentage, but its too bad they are just eye-candy, and don't really serve any purpose. You can't use them for cover, they don't restrict your vision, and they don't block the sun. But, I suppose its better than clear skies, all the time.

Try reading Escape from Colditz. Its a great book, especially if you liked The Great Escape.

SpaceHogg, I've been playing WWII Fighters since it was released, and I have to say its only gotten better with time! Namely, cuz I now have a system that can run it properly :).

samdirickson@yahoo.com Can't wait to see the screenshots. BTW, will you be able to model the built in rocket pods? It'd be pretty neat to be able to use them.

Oh, I can take a MiG-19 in a head on pass. The problem is getting on the MiG's tail, and staying there, especially at high altitudes. If the 19 driver decieds to start a climbing turn, there is no way in the world you can catch up with the F-100. Unfortunately, that seems to be the only thing the MiG-19 pilots want to do. Is the F-100 really supposed to bleed speed as bad as it does? I can understand that it is a proportianatly heavy airframe when compared the thurst of it's engine, so accelerating back up after a turn may take a little bit. Its seems kind of axcessive, though.

Thats awesome! Do you have any cockpit images yet?

Those are the aircraft used in 'Hotshots' right? Man, they're tiny.

I went to the Wings OVer Houston Airshow back in October. They had some MiG-21's on display from the Colliers Foundation, I think? Anyway, it shouldn't be too hard to find some civilian owners of a MiG-21, although they may not know too much about dogfighting with it :).

Well, I learned something valuable tonight. Do not go against a MiG-19 with a Super Sabre. I couldn't, for the life of me, get behind the MiG, or even in a favorable position for a missile shot. The F-100 just wouldn't keep it's energy, and the MiG-19 had too much energy. This completely kills any attempt at dogfighting with the F-100, at least until the patch. I consider myself a pretty competant sim driver, so I do not think it is too much pilot error on my part. This is just absurd.

The lock box is showing up for the hard difficulty settings? That shouldn't be happening.

I wish they still sold the Suncom HOTAS. I kinda want one. Seems like its a bit better than an X-45. If I get rudder pedals, of course.
