Just checked out those Harriers. You're correct. They are very, very nice. Smile2

I think the Buccaneer is ugly in real life so why would i want to fly it in a video game lol. Nothing against the guys who built it for this game just my opinion on the aircraft itself.

Yes. I made the following ini edit to the roll dampers which has cured this to my satisfaction.

In the aircraft data.ini, comment out the clp entry for the wings and replace as follows.

[LeftWing]
//Clp=-0.0142
Clp=-0.0468

[RightWing]
/Clp=-0.0142
Clp=-0.0468

[LeftOuterWing]
//Clp=-0.0519
Clp=-0.1286

[RightOuterWing]
//Clp=-0.0519
Clp=-0.1286

This B-1B is really good, the pit especially. Can't figure out how to drop unguided ordinance (accurately) with it though...

Yeah, but you can't see it while you're flying it. At least that's what I keep telling myself about my ugly motorcycle.

On the subject of the Buccaneer, I finally got around to flying a campaign in it. The pit is so good.
The autopilot switch: it works.

Look at those detailed throttles, and that Tail Plane Angle indicator, even that works. Unbelievable.

With my interest in naval aviation and love for the HMS Ark Royal, the Buccaneer itches me right were I scratch the detail alone for this User made plane puts it right up at the top of my list of favs on the same level the Apache is a work of art. the fact is if you what to know what the best is just look in the my aircraft folder, its so hard to decide because they all have that little thing that makes them special.

There's lots of nice stuff out there, and yes, the aircraft mentioned are top notch.

But the F4D-1 Skyray Ultimate Package rules over all others, LOL!

I don't know who made it, but it's a breathtaking thing that just oozes fifties Cold War...je ne sais quoi!

Go download it right now. You'll thank me.

Cheers!

Julhelm over at CombatAce made it. He's currently employed by Dice. So you see where the talent comes from wink

Oh really? Will check it out. Methinks a 1950's scenario involving Iceland would be a great place to try out all those "forgotten" Navy fighters like the Skyray, the F-3 Venom, the F-11 Tigershark etc.

EDIT: Got it. Thank you Rick!

Another vote for the F-14 by TMF.

And the Skyray isn't bad, either.
