    F-15E UFC poll

    So Razbam is making a suite 4+ 2002-2003 airframe. Razbam is also planning to make a newer version as well.... but they can only make one UFC? That’s bullshit. Make the Suite 4+ have the older UFC (as it should be), and then make the Suite 5/6 or 6/7 have the newer UFC. Then everyone will be happy.
  2. I knew some of the present day flying P-47’s didn’t have a working turbo... do you happen to know which ones do and do not?
  3. FFB2? Is that short for force feed back?
  4. You think we’ll get a cable that we can unreel that has an anchor at the end? I think I read somewhere that (if memory serves me right) Robert S. Johnson wanted to be able to inflict more damage to the enemy on his way home. He invented a spool of cable that he could release. On the end of it was a type of hook/anchor. His idea was he could drag the hook a few feet above the ground and it would snag and rip power lines and possibly communication lines out along the way. He told his mechanic about his idea, and together they built the contraption. When it came time to field test the thing, the hook snagged hard and apparently almost pulled him out of the air until it finally ripped loose from beneath the airplane. I guess it just wasn’t very effective! Lol!
  5. Me too. I’m having pitch sensitivity issues that’s causing pilot induced porpoising.... I’m trying to figure out a curve I feel comfortable with that doesn’t make the plane slow to respond. Definitely doesn’t fly like the preview videos. But I AM flying with a $20 Logitech extreme 3d pro so maybe that’s my issue?
  6. Wing pylons are removable!!! I wonder if you go any faster though?

    F-15E UFC poll

    Older UFC: I’ll buy immediately for nostalgia’s sake. Newer UFC: I’ll hold on to my money... watch reviews and be extra picky about the flight model... if it has enough features implemented and everyone raves about it... I may pick it up when it hits 50% sale.
  8. Is it nuts that I already want an M model? Lol!
  9. But what if your trying to save mouse clicks? ;)
  10. Damn... just bought the P-47... planned on buying the map next paycheck. I wasn’t aware of the bundle. Oh well!

    F-15E UFC poll

    Nothing like reading paragraph after paragraph of logical reasons on why the older UFC makes sense.... followed by 6 or 7 “digital” posts! Lol!
  12. I wonder if another contributing factor to the “blue-er” water is the year? In 1943/44 would the blue be more prominent due to less pollution... even in a war-time state? Just speculating... I have no idea?

    F-15E UFC poll

    Isn’t a F-15E Suite 4 a 2002-2006 (ish) timeframe? Wasn’t the newer UFC installed on American F-15E’s in 2010 and after? Why would you want to simulate an incorrectly configured aircraft?
  14. Extra points to you for finding the dive recovery flaps and the extra paint schemes!

    F-15E UFC poll

    Razbam should offer the old UFC for historical re-enactments.. and then for $10 more you can buy the new UFC with small diameter bombs/racks for newer/present day ops.
  16. I seem to remember having read that the pylons really didn’t cause a lot of weight or drag penalty. I think the P-47M’s came without the wing pylons so that they could be even faster... but after research, the removal of pylons benefits were negligible.... better to have them available for wing tanks. Most M models had the pylons reinstalled. More options are always better though!
  17. I want to see some A2A engagements and I really thought Growling Sidewinder would be the one to do it. Hopefully he’ll dogfight some FW-190’s or some BF-109’s and then use tacview to show how to boom and zoom in the P-47.

    F-15E UFC poll

    If I’m flying the mud hen, I want to fly desert shield/storm missions and what-if scenarios where Iran was drawn into the fight. Were the newer digital UFC’s available during desert shield/storm??? That’s what will influence my mind the most!
  19. Without the dorsal fin would have a little more yaw instability. No one has previewed the dive recovery flaps yet!!! Just realized!
  20. When a couple GR crashes into each other and Cap had to crash land it looked like the normal stopped propeller was still displayed along with the bent propellor. Did anyone else notice? It was the part when Cap landed on the cliff of Dover and then slid down the cliff. May just be a multiplayer issue.
