Hi Panther. Great video clip. You're some flyer! I'm returning to F4AF after many years (been hanging out at TAW2.0) so I'm going through a crash course again. I have some general questions for you if you don't mind:
You use Track IR?
The video is operating from within the 3D 'pit? (I'm assuming that because, like me, your TrackIR won't work in the 2D 'pit)
You are big on the visual (something about "loose sight, loose the fight"), but you must initial know where to look. How? (Remember haven't got beyond TM10 so it might become clearer later)
Because of the missile smoke trial, its easy (sorry, easier) to see the missile. What if had a non-visible trail? (In fact if I was design missiles I'd look to manufacture hard to see missiles, or produce multiple trails to confuse the pilot)
My approach elsewhere has been just to go defensive and "beam" it. I don't think that's what you're doing?
Don't take offense, but I assume you are flying in "Ace Mode"? (I don't even see any labels. )
Thanks.

Yes

I'm using my recon of the area, RWR, and visual. Given that this video was done using a TE, I already knew where it would be.

Good thing every SAM missile has a smoke trail.

I never had any luck beaming a SAM. I would much rather fly against it. Make it turn to change it's flight path, which will cause it to slow down.

Panther: Good thing every SAM missile has a smoke trail. Wombat: There's an opportunity here for some bright Engineer or at least programmer [Missile Trail On/Off]

Panther: Always 100% realism in Falcon 4. Wombat: Thank you. Keep it up Ma'am. [Funny. had trouble spelling "Ma'am". Its a reflection on our culture that we don't have to use it often enough]

Not at this time. BVR engagement and missile defense is rather easy with the Doppler notch. WVR heater defense is not so much. You really need to be looking for the heater shot and use a lot flares.

When the video was done, I was using a FSSB R2 modded Cougar.
I was looking for something like this
