• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

An amazing system, years ahead of its time. Long on my wish list of things for FSX. Freeware strategic weapon systems that do something, and missiles that blow up stuff. Well. It flies, though I've got to see if I can slow down the acceleration a bit, the attach points seem to work. It makes a lot of noise when it lights off, and the world whites out when you hit the contrail. Maybe too much! Cant see the missile from the launch aircraft- realistic; perhaps, but I want to see the missile climb away. I have no idea where it come down at, or if it goes off(should, the attach points work) as I`ll have to follow one down range-it shows on radar, too! First launch from the AVRO 730,M2.69-42000ft over Edwards today, aimed at Tonopah missile range.
left to right. Drop, booster ignition, accelerating, climbing out.
