  1. I hope the never release it and keep teasing us every few months with videos and pics. Am I serious? Yes Why!? Because to me it's like foreplay...:joystick: (also because I like seeing the consternation on everyone else's impatient face)
  2. Thought about that, and did not fully calculate the weight of the full center-line tank. But I'm flying with this...and have my sensitivity set to where it functions like a hair trigger. In dogfights I usually have to be careful not to over-stress (usually modeled as severe buffeting and stalling in game). But on the positive side all I have to do is lightly roll my wrist and it gives me a rapid and almost god-like response. I normally dampen it down and open up the dead-zones when I'm flying aircraft with straight mechanical or non-electronically boosted flight controls. Had this setup for years, but been debating if I should switcher over to Thrustmaster after my trigger broke a few months ago. Hate to give up my controller's sensitive twitch response, it feels like I'm just thinking the aircraft onto the target at times.
  3. Refuse to touch Tonopah Air Base or Groom Lake with a 10 foot pole. I'm not having men show up to my house in black suvs and suits. *My uncle ran into a similar problem many years ago one cold December morn. It took 12 U.S. Marshals and three state police officers to get him under control. I thought about taking off too early, I know it takes the F-5 a while to spool up in comparison to the mighty Eagle. Also use to doing a vertical climb or high-angle chandelle in the magnificent F-15...also known as The Eagle. Normally the dampers are already selected when doing hot starts in the F-5E, but it has been a while since I flown it. I should have punched the center line, but I was fighting what seemed like stuck flight controls and a oxygen system malfunction on the way back. Wasn't going to try to make it to Nellis or Indian Springs (Creech) and Fallon (home base) isn't on the map. Also did not want to be ritualistically flogged, imprisoned, and then executed, so no Groom Lake or Tonopah.
  4. I'm trying to get back into flying the F-5 Tiger II after being away from it for so long. My reason being is I want to something to go up against all the future (sometime in the winter of 2019-2020) would be F-14/Turkey drivers. A mean and trolling adversary full of piss-n-vinegar on the servers. I thought to myself, oh the look on their faces when in about a year they finally get their precious F-14 and I come through blasting ass in my Mig-28 or A-4 Super Echo Mongoose. I'll show them for being impatient, I'll shoot every last flapping turkey like my name is Myles Standish and my village is starving on Thanksgiving. Then this happened....not once but twice....FML
  5. VF-32 is my favorite F-14 squadron But love the "adversary" scheme of VF-74 before they were disestablished VF-211's scheme looked bad-ass on F-8s and F-14s, just seems kind of out of place on hornets.
  6. I do regret not having a camera with me whenever I visited Va Beach and would watch A-6s and F-14s do touch and gos at Oceana. You could feel an F-14 when it took off and the A-6 had an ear-piercing sound.
  7. I can't recall the hours I spent playing ATF and later Fighters Anthology. Top aircraft were always A-6, B-52, F-14, and the F-8. Later with Strike Fighter series all I flew was the F-4D, F-8E, F-105, and the F-14 community mod. Top Gun Fire at Will for PC had more replay ability than PS1, but the PS1 version was more challenging for a one-time play through.
  8. Hot dayum it was glorious time to be alive in those days!
  9. 1990s Continued... Top Gun: Fire at Will Playstation(PS1) Fleet Defender: F-14 Tomcat Jane's U.S. Navy Fighters Jane's USNF 97 (U.S. Navy Fighters 97)
  10. Please feel free to add-on to this as you like: 1980s After Burner After Burner II Top Gun Top Gun: the Second Mission Sonic Fury (Action Max VHS Game) 1990s G-Loc: Air Battle Lock On Tomcat Alley Top Gun: Fire at Will (PC)
  11. Fighter Fling 97 There was no 91 due to Operation Desert Storm
  12. Good shot for shot recreation!
  13. Dumb-bombs, theoretically a lot, operationally 4. Also agree with everyone else about trolling someone, when they "don't know what you think you know." I never understood that attitude about some folks, when they could have just as easily moved on and said nothing. The easiest thing you can do is nothing. A better thing is tell them the answer or share your opinion. The best thing to do is give them the answer but also show them how you derived that answer.
  14. Thanks! A new BUFF or Lancer model would be nice, I was glad when we got the KC-135, though I miss the KC-10 from Lomac days.
  15. The F-14 did almost everything in it's twilight from deep strike, to CAS, to FASTFAC.
  16. Works fine for me The only problem is that you can't place static objects (meaning on-aircraft) on the carrier deck. But helos and planes work fine. More in the video description.
