Correct me if I am wrong, but Fox 1 is radar guided missiles. Fox 2 and Fox 2M are for IR shots... Also, as a point of interest, do the British say Fox 3 for guns instead of Guns! Guns! Guns!?

Can some kind soul upload this to onion (provided it is not commercial of course). I spit blood every time I accidentally hit my airbrakes twice and leave them on in the heat of the padlock view. >Tornado looks good - I saw a message on here earlier complaining that slow, >high AOA fly-bys were practically impossible in F3 due to it switching into >complex model at <300knots - Tornado works great, and experiences some great >spins too (requires correct spin recovery methods). Such a pity it isn't ``Electronic Battlefield''-ised. Have to swallow my patriotic EC-pride and play with the Mig-29 instead I guess... On that note, does the '29 add-in contain any European campaigns? It seems a gaping hole to me that with shooting wars all over the ``old continent'' these days SH haven't included a corresponding campaign. There must be more than a few F3 players in Europe who'd love to hug the dirt through some familiar scenery. Lots of opportunities for tricky campaigns under rules of engagement. On another european note, British readers looking for Robert Shaw's book may be interested to know it it is no longer published by the USNI in the U.K. and the title is changed to ``Fighter combat: the art and science of air combat''. The content seems identical to the original USNI edition I tracked down in the local copyright library though. If there's interest I'll mail ISBN (and check the precise title).

I would be interested in getting the EMM386 Parameters Ur using, as I have trouble with my current setup (Qemm 386 V6.0 : ACER 1000 Series Board with 386-33 : 4 MEG RAM : MS-Mouse & SMATRDRIVE Loaded High, TB-Scaner Loaded High, Stealth Off, Stacker Loaded High, Sound commander Fx (SB COMPAT.) ). I don't use High detail (slows sim down too much *I think*), But I would like to go back to using EMM386 as FOXPRO2 For LAN crashes with on of it's fabled processor exception errors *QEMM* when I run it (Excpet under windows 3.1 *puzled*). Your Absolutely right about TORNADO It looks like it will be a cracking sim. John Harrington. Queens University Belfast. 'Bandits 4 O'Clock High...
