Thanks Yeti, I'll take a look at that.

Even with VA, its a bit of long command to keep repeating it to move the dish down!

Interesting ... was Jester's ability to follow targets automatically improved or are you referring to the altitude/range commands buried on the Jester wheel? Looks like it'll be horribly clunky to use!

Just simple stuff like radar scan up or down - stuff that Jester seems to do badly! Probably won't be necessary when auto-TWS gets implemented.

When I've tried the RADAR, there seems to be an issue: if you disable Jester, they work, but there is a lot you have to map, otherwise, if Jester is still running, the key gets triggered, then seems to reset immediately.

Great stuff Bailey, much appreciated, thanks!

I read somewhere that the idea is to slow the F-18 down in a horizontal turning fight, then take the fight vertical ... you have the power, he can't follow - well, that's the theory!

What utter twaddle ... You play the game how you want, I'll play it how I want.

This is really useful, thanks for posting! It would be great to see some additional back seat controls available to us single pilots!

Agreed ... all my screen saver pics are from my pre-VR days!

Anyone heard a 'watch the mountains ...'

Mine didn't work, even when I sawed the ears off the lense, and blue-tacked them in place. They fitted but were blurry ... but my glasses fit, although they keep getting jammed.

ED have given me many years of enjoyment (since LockOn) and I love that the planes I bought then and since, still work, getting better and better every year! Thanks, you're doing a great job.

Yes, this would be good ... not taken any good screen caps for a couple of years due to VR!

Agreed - its a real pain to have to wait to fill the tanks, then cold start (especially in the F-14 waiting for the INS to align) then take off, fly to the combat area and get SPAMRAMM'ed by an 18 carrying a ridiculous loadout! As you say, some of us just love the flying this fantastic sim and don't have a lot of time! JUST DOGFIGHT is a great server and worth a look, but can be a bit full on ... 3 v 3 gunzo is just mad :) I'd be interested in hearing of any servers too.

If I bind the eject action to a button on my joystick (the POV down on my TM WH), it triggers if I press it only once, not 3 times as via the keyboard or in other a/c :( UPDATE: For info, I use a modifier key in combination with POV down.

Thanks for posting the video - the AV-8B, while it still needs further work, is great sim and a fun plane to fly!

Many thanks Flighter ... perhaps I'm on the beta and just not realising it! I'll check next time I'm on.

No problem, I hope it helps.

Well, you are always going to be at a disadvantage because of its inherent weight ... what fuel load are you flying with? Try flying with a minimal fuel load - the big fighters need to dump fuel! I fly the 15, so can't really help with specifics. This is especially a problem when you jump in loaded with fuel and they've been flying a while and burnt fuel ... remember 2degs/sec is a significant advantage and being 6000lbs heavier might drop you 5degs/sec

Only way I've been able to do it reliably is with terrain masking or sometimes extreme manoeuvring to defeat the missile in the last few seconds, where its high speed works against it :(

From the tac_view, do you fly the 33?

So he is watching what you are doing and changing his tactics in reaction to you ... Basic BFM: 'manoeuvre in relation to the bandit', he is obviously no beginner. BFM is hard, no easy solution ... keep watching him for hints of what he will do and react - probably not a lot of help sorry. Not sure if you've read up on BFM, but try searching for 'aetcttp11-1' ... very helpful. Try watching some of the recent TopGun 2019 videos for other tips ... Stuge does a great commentary :) PS> We could do with a Tactics section on the forum.
