having a digital RWR kinda spoils the proper experience when you've got guidelines to contend with

Yeah, but there were newer and cooler jets around. What fighter pilot doesn't want to feel like he's got the hottest ride?

While I can't disagree with personal preference, I'll venture out on a limb and say that most people would prefer to play those versions of iconic fighters that best represent them at their peak - the F-4E that was the world's leading distributor of MiG parts, not a bomb truck 20 years past its use-by date.

I'm wondering how fitting this system is for Vietnam-era scenarios. Having a microprocessor-equipped RWR on board seems like the kind of capability that breaks most of the early 70s scenarios.

Thanks, I think I've got it now.

Hello, Can somebody please explain the trimmer logic to me? I've been messing around for a while and while I can somehow tinker the chopper into going roughly where I want, I can't for the life of me figure out what the trim button actually does. Does it add my current joystick deflection to the existing offset? Does it lock the current joystick offset as the new 0? Does it try to maintain heading/attitude? Because at times it seems to do any one of these and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the pattern is. For example, it will turn towards the heading I was facing when I pressed the trim button except sometimes it will spin around in circles instead. Is it trying to conserve the existing rotation rate? Sometimes when I push the nose down and press the trimmer it will go back up to seemingly conserve the speed I was going, more often it will just go back up a bit and settle in some other attitude. So on and so forth. I am aware that I am likely not the first person to ask this question, so if anybody could direct me towards an explanation of the trimmer logic I would be very thankful.
