Great shots. I'm having a blast with the F-4 and Thud stuff. Man, this game could be AMAZING with a few more features; Multiplayer, air refueling, slightly better FM, the ability to look back with track IR, etc.

I'm not sure but I think you can edit some sort of config file so you can look around behind better with track IR.

You have to go into the XXX_cockpit.ini file for each aircraft you want to change and change the values associated with "YawLimit=" or something like that. The number is the degrees from straight ahead where you can no longer look any further. IIRC there's a + and - value.

Ya. Here is one example:

Quote:
...
MaxYaw=152
MinYaw=-152
...


So 180 and -180 would let you look all the way behind you from either side. I don't know how realistic that is strapped into an ejection seat with a helmet on, though.

Yeah.. MP and refueling would really round it out pretty well.. I agree..

I can't wait to fly another mission.. Real Work is getting in the way of my fun!

If you complain even just one more time about not being able to play flight simulators because you have to fly in real life, I'll report you to a moderator!

I'm loving this more than anything I've flown I think. It's really brought me back into flightsims. I'm 4 missions into rolling thunder 65 flying the scooter. I've yet to encounter any sams but I've taken two migs out wink

So sad that TK/thirdwire is not making SF series anymore, now they just make those stupid android/ios #%&*$# frown

Bit more tuning and SF series would be perfect med fidelity sim,

-Ability to slew mav and tv weapons (that hit e to cyle trough tanks is bit too simple even for light sim)

-Bit better dot system so enemy fighters would be visually bit easier to see from far without labels. (this was weird thing to make light sim, harder to spot targets than DCS or BMS ?? )

Which mod gives you the SAM exhaust trails?

The exhaust in the A-6 screens is from the SF2V Air and Ground Expansion Pack. I would be surprised if the latest version of Stary's effects doesn't have something similar as well.

Yeah.. Love it when I see an SA-2 launch.. It's nice to finally be able to see missiles coming at me instead of what happens in most sims where I just get smoked (realistic I'm sure) without a clue.. <g>
