I used to have a problem with the "uber" AI also. There was a a thread on here somewhere about how the AI needs to be tweaked and "unlimited energy". Slowly more and more people began posting on how they got the bugger and tips on how they did it. He is no pushover but he can be beat on a regular basis. I am no pro by any means but here are tips i use to down him. -The AI is pretty predictable, after dying a million times I noticed a few patterns, such as: when you are out turning him he will go to the vertical and use his unlimited energy. -Patience is key! When he would pull to the vertical I would get anxious and immediately fallow him up. Instead i learned to let my energy build before fallowing him up, A little prop feathering goes a long way also when you are trying to pick up speed -Im a horrible shot! So I continue to pursue him until i have a clear shot. One time I had went through every bullet i had as he crossed my nose thinking I would never get a good shot on him. I continued to fallow and be patient and before i knew it i was so close i could have shot him with my side arm, although my first kill had to wait for another try at it. -I try and aim for his wings, seems like I have to dump a lot of lead into the fuselage whereas the wing falls apart fairly easily. -Finally load him up to max gross. Like ED said, the AI still needs a little tweaking so i tweak it myself. I tried to post a .trk of me getting the kill in about 4 turns but i keep getting a error. Good Luck

Dang! I was just getting ready to go to bed and then I go and read this post. Now I have to fire up the ol' Mustang for a few circuits! Thank you sir :sleep:

Just gonna jump in and stir the pot. An a airplane is chained down loosely on the ramp. Holy crap! 50kt steady head wind. The wing is now producing lift. Wind dies down and vuala! The wing is stalled. Not an engineer so I'm into sure if this relates at all. I agree with what is posted above. A stong tail wind just pushes a plane faster over the ground thus keeping the IAS the same but a windshear near stall speeds can cause the wing to lose lift.

A little background, Dos Gringos is a band made up of two viper pilots that moonlight as a folk/rock band. Most of their music is aviation related with a fighter pilot sense of humor. The music is ok but hopefully the vocolist is a better pilot than singer. Still very funny. http://www.dosgringosrocks.com/

pot stirred :music_whistling:

Thanks for helping display the video properly. Agreed the combo of vapor, rumbling and sound when it is pullin g give a great sense of the speed.

Not sure if this has been posted before. its one of my faves. Everything from this guy is pure gold. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9uGD2upNGE&feature=BFa&list=HL1334285321&lf=mh_lolz

USAF usually plays this kind of thing close to the chest until all the facts have been sorted. However they are always quick to point out that it was not hostile fire for obvious reasons.

Very sad news. He was from my home town http://www.kboi2.com/news/local/Mtn-Home-Airmen-killed-in-F-15-crash-in-SW-Asia-144734305.html?m=y&smobile=y

Not the A2A 'stang but still pretty nice.

China hat aft short will center ur soi

Thnx for the reply. I usually drop them at about 1k feet in a nose down attitude using 2/3 in Ccrp. Btw i was a 2w1 myself. Loaded hundreds of airs on the b-1 at dyess, just havn trouble getting them to hit targets

What is the proper way to use this weapon. When i drop using CCRP they land about 20m short? Sorry in advance if this has been addressed, using the search function with iphone is brutal
