You gotta love the fuel dumping trick the F-111 pilots did, dump some fuel - ignite the burners!! 8)

Thanks a lot guys! :D :)

This is also an AlphaSim model, but don't let the name scare you, this is one of their better models. As you can see it's a very nice model(s), acceptable flight dynamics and a very nice VC. The only thing I can really think of, is that the HUD is waaaay to small, it's really useless.

It's all about the angle at which the shots are taken. ;)

If you take the shots straight from the side, you can get those "spots" of fire, but if you take it at an angle, it can't be seen.

Also, try flying at about 300 knots, not faster, that will help a lot too.

Sorry if this was already asked, Lars but which scenery is that? Looks better than the plane. :)

That would be FlightScenery - FlightZone 01 - Rhode Island scenery, it's huge package, mesh for the whole of Rhode Island, and 4 airport sceneries like this I believe. :)
