Back in February, "Badboy" and "Boxer" wrote a wonderful article comparing the F4 doghouse diagrams for the Mig 29 and the F16. The insights are really neat and applicable to our flying tactics.
Badboy/Boxer...any chances of getting another installment, perhaps with the Su-27 or the Mig 23 or the Mig 21?

Hi Ghost
Regarding the Su-27, that analysis has already been done, just hasn't been published. I just checked the curves and the F-16 has a Ps advantage over the entire envelope. Certainly I think the MiG-29 v F-16 engagement was the most interesting Viper comparison.
However, isn't it true that folk can now fly any of the aircraft in Falcon4? Because it might be interesting to compare some of the other match ups, like the F4 Phantom v some of the early MiGs. It would be interesting to see how that stacks up against what we know today about how they performed back then.
I began further EM analysis for the aircraft being worked on by the F4 Model Group but they only got as far as the F-18 before the group died, and the resulting F-18 (the work of a guy called Hedgehog) was porked. So if I published that analysis it would look slightly strange
Other than that, the only further work on Falcon4 that I had considered doing was a series of articles on flight modelling, that I hoped would be helpful for folk trying to edit the Falcon4 aircraft.
Having said all that, I'm still tied up with another sim' project, following that I have a commitment to AH that I need to fulfill, and I must find time to help another author analyse the P-38 for his work. I'd really like to do more with Falcon4 but I'm spreading myself pretty thin... Seems there are more things I'd like to do, want to do, and would do, if I only had the time! I figure that if I didn't need to sleep, I might just catch up with it all
So what's the deal with Falcon4, are there still many folk playing it? You really think further work on Falcon4 would get many readers?
