Hi Rapier
Thanks for answering.
You shouldn't try to keep constant speed at max G. What you said 450-500 kts is the speed where the F16 can keep the speed constant. Remember the Ps curves of the F16 show that you have to keep the speed between 2 limits that are found on the top of the diagram.
Study very carefully the diagram and then do some training exercises.


[Hi Tiger,

About corner velocity. Try this in F4. Go to 480 Knt's and hit the overide switch and turn hard. The speed comes down but if you balance the throttle (440 - 450 knt's) correctly and master turning without dropping off too much speed you will be deadly when dogfighting. Remember a dogfight is not just on a horizontal plane so experiment until your comfortable with acheiving the best turn rate you can get without blacking out. Another important point Tiger when turning is to keep the F16 within 100 feet to give you an exellent turn radius. turning while pointing the nose up will loose you too much speed so compensate by pointing the nose down slightly and then regaining your normal 100 feet turning rule. You need to experiment with this Tiger until you know it by hart. This is only done by practicing this. This is explained in the manual and you will find later on when doing missions that what you have learned is useful
