By the way RUN, how do you post an image. Do you have to send images by e-mail or some other method?

Rapier.]

Just send it by email, and write inside the message where you want the picture.

5, Yes, the F-15 and SU-27. The F-15 is a fantastic aircraft and I am sure John will tell you that it was not easy dogfighting against one of these. The SU-27 is an amazing piece of kit. It was awsome to watch at airshows, it's a real crowd pleaser.

Sure the F-15 is ok, but the F-15 jocks don't like to get to close & when we manage to sneek past their AMRAAMs, they normally loose the close in dogfights. Especially if we are low level, where the F-16 has an advantage.

Hi Run,

Yep, I have to agree with you on the close combat situation, but I still think that the F-15 is really good a BVR combat, I think that was one of it's important design parameters. If you talk to an F-15 pilot I am sure they will tell you that it is a dream to fly, I dont know if you have had a go in one at all but I'm sure you'll be impressed if you did.

By the way RUN, how do you post an image. Do you have to send images by e-mail or some other method?

Regards

Rapier.

Hi Rapier
First I play flightsims especialy Falcon 4.0 which I bought it 2 months ago.
I think it is the best flight sim I have ever seen.
So I presume you play Falcon 4.0 too.
If you have any questions for me regarding Falcon 4.0 and F16 please let me know.
Thanks for the answer anyway.

Hi Tiger,

I know this message was not for me but what the hell. I dont know if you play any flight sim's at all. You seem as if you have because you ask RUN some interesting questions, anyway here's my setup in Falcon.

1, I use two AIM 9L on each wing tip and two or four AMRAMM inside of them for A-A combat setup. It's important to set the weapons up on the F-16 with an even weight balance or you could find that the aircraft will want to lean over, especially when using a bomb setup.

2, I always carry an ECM it will give you a much greater chance of not becoming a human missle.

3, I have had to eject a couple of times due to my aircraft exploding if I did not.

4, Yes I have had a Flame out on final approach in Falcon. You must Jettison all weapons and make your aircraft as light as possible to give you a better chance of surviving a crash landing.

5, Yes, the F-15 and SU-27. The F-15 is a fantastic aircraft and I am sure John will tell you that it was not easy dogfighting against one of these. The SU-27 is an amazing piece of kit. It was awsome to watch at airshows, it's a real crowd pleaser.

6, Not many, none to be precise but it would be a dream to have a go in real life to see how all the flight sim action compares to real life. I am sure most pilot's would be shocked.
