YoYo, I really like the video - it feels like a trailer! I like videos that tell a story.

Thanks YoYo for the start up video. I saved it as a tutorial for my efforts at cold start. The music brings back memories and the desire to check out "Top Gun" again.

The Tomcat has aged less than some of the other characters in that movie..


Sometimes time flies even faster than an F-14..

YIKES!!

 

[delta_lima]

Seriously?

Yikes what, "gents"???

I'm guessing we're all going to be ravishingly gorgeous Adonis' at age 57, right?

Childish at best, sexist at worst, and low class any way you look at it - we can do way better than this ...


********************

Back on topic - thanks for the great videos, Yoyo.

Just a clarification for us non-TacPac (yet, at least) types - to what extent can the A2G weapons/TARPS be used in the sim? I know they can be loaded, and "fired" as per the manual - but the manual's focus is more on the A2A weapons (and I understand that) - but just some info on what is/is not possible with the A2G weapons, esp in the absence of TP, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

dl

Really??? It was a light-hearted comment made in jest, as was Ferry VO's original post. She's undoubtedly changed quite a bit since her starring role. There's nothing "sexist" about it. "Childish" perhaps, but no more so than any other attempt at levity. And yes: the same comment can be made about any of us. No harm was intended. Good day.


Anyway - yes....back on topic - I'm looking forward to some IIAF/IRIAF repaints for the Tomcat.

Anybody know how to stow the ladder before takeoff?

Jim, I believe it's tied to the FSX wing-fold command. You'll have to map the command via the FSX control assignments menu if you haven't already done so.

Good luck!

 

[jim]

Your right!! Found t. Thanks much.

Yes, it will be.

Some people really need to relax.

So lighthearted a jest that I'm sure you'd have no problem saying it to any middle aged woman you had seen as attractive many years prior, in person? Of course not, and rightly so. Nor does it matter that Ferry made the same joke - much as I appreciate him.

I'll grant that it was probably without malice - and I'm all for a good joke - but it's very telling when someone indignantly insists on defending the "right" to make sport of what I guarantee they'd not have the stones to say to a person to their face. My assumption was that our community had some discernment, respect and dignity - all while keeping it light.

She looks pretty damn good to me.

As another gentleman posted earlier, "sir":

Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.

To everyone else - my sincere apologies for getting this thread derailed into an impromptu sanctimonious morality lecture.

Unreal...

Fantastic! Looking forward to them, YoYo. Thanks.

Sorry if people got offended by my post, that sure wasn't my intention!
I myself was just ten years old when Top Gun was released, guess browsing through the cast at IMDB and seeing how old they are now made me feel old as well! I still remember that time, just started reading books about aicraft and building and playing with my own 1:144 revell model kit air force (And that inluded a Tomcat.).
At that time every 'boy' (Aged 10-99) wanted to be Tom Cruise, not just because he wanted to fly the Tomcat, but for Kelly McGilles as well!

Now please back OT, as this Tomcat deserves it, I will definitely be buying it next month (Spend way too much on the Christmas/Thanksgiving sales already!) and relive my childhood with it.

Well, even if I don't own this bird or Tacpack, I can suppose with 99% percent certainty that in FREE FLIGHT you can't destroy targets with'em apart of dropping the weapons & probably see the effects of explosion on impact (ie, same as with the free weapon pack4).
But : for any plane in FSX that can drop weapons (guided or unguided), you can place & destroy targets in FSX Missions. I'm pretty sure that without TacPack, only through FSX Missions you'll get the result you want as per your question....
This is the reason I enganged myself in FSX Mission building at first place anyway. I doubt that Aerosoft has included at the "Scenarios" any "Ground Target Pounding" scenario (ie, targets being destroyed by the weapons through weapon proximity triggers to targets... And that's exactly how in FSX Missions can be done, for destruction not only of SimObjects but also Scenery objects...)
