Start with the props, then work you’r way up to the Jumbos. Will take some time(took me two weeks) but the rewards will be worth it.
For combat flight simulators start with simlites(any Novalogic sim would do), gradually shift to medium difficulty sims like Jane’s IAF or Jane’s USAF(I don’t know of any new ones) then try the almighty studysims like Falcon4.0,Falcon4.0 Allied force, LOMAC, Jane’s F-15 etc etc. Of these the Falcon4.0 series is the most fullfilling. It has a huge fan base which means plenty of sites providing free support and add on mods. BTW I got hold of a great strike eagle mod for Falcon4.0 on a cd from a friend. I’ll try and find out which site he downloaded it from.(Think Jane’s F-15 with better graphics in Korea)

Irst/Flir combo assembly proposed for the Thunder. Only the FLIR is Sagem’s the gray boxes are PAC IFF equipment as fitted to the ROSE series of upgrades.

Lying and blustering is not unusual for the country in question.

Pakistan has no role in the plane other than applying a coat of paint. It’d be cheaper for RMAF to buy it from the source – China. But given that MY wants to have appearance of good relationship with other Islamic countries, they may throw Pak a bone.

Mods, if this is not flamebait or insultive behaviour then what is? 😡

experience has shown that its very hard if not impossible to put well prepared airbases out of commission for more than a few hrs. all countries have well drilled repair crews, machinery, quick setting concrete and utility helos for such situations.

Its easier to defeat flying fighters than seek them out hiding on the ground unless one has 101% air superiority like the US did in recent campaigns.

Wrong! Ask any pilot and he’ll tell you that the best place to take out enemy fighters is on the ground not the other way no matter what you’re air superiority level is.

Just add some sweep to the K-8’s wings and it would look like a Hawk.
Btw I’ve noted that the Hawk, Alpha Jet, K-8, FMA Pampa and the Super Galeb all share basically the same design. Any comments on why is that so?

One F-5E was captured by northern vietnamese and tranferred to the USSR to evaluation. There were several combats against Mig-21bis and Mig-23M, and F-5 won all combats. Source: Kondaurov, test-pilot of Mig.

The TigerII(F-5E) was not even in the developmental stage at the time you are reffering to.The only F-5 variant serving in Vietnam(and in existence) at that time was the Freedom Fighter(F-5A/B).
