*** Posted by FAULKEN *** I have been waiting because I was unclear as to when the seeker head went active and wanted to ensure a good kill on the bandit. Is it a set distance from the target, like say 10nm or is it truely 1/4 the distance from the time it leaves the rail?? [Hi Faulken, Why are you waiting until the missle hit's the target? ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi Faulken, Why are you waiting until the missle hit's the target? When you get lock, fire and break away with some chaff and lock up another target. The AIM120 is a fantastic missle it has an impressive hit ratio. It will active about 1/4 of the distance to target after it is launched. I think they have modeled this

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hmm..I am surprised at this, with my stick it moves at least 2.5 inches in all directions, does this not make the F-16 difficult to handle becuase it must be very sensitive with so little movement in the stick, basically I think it would be so sensitive that even the slightest movement would make a nice response to the ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hello Faulken, The weapons delivery system in F4 is very similar to the real jet apart from some points. Firstly I want to point out what is missing in F4 as opposed to the real F-16. Firstly, in the real jet the pilot can simulate a weapons delivery check and other checks to make sure his weapons and systems are ...

*** Posted by FAULKEN *** At what range does the seeker head go active? To date my 120 tactics in F4 have been to acquire - lock - fire 120 - and then remain locked until the missle hits the target or over shoots. Very dangerous at under 20 miles to target. I would like to use multiple target/multiple launch tactics, but will need the info ...

*** Posted by FAULKEN *** This question is relates to the ground radar in Falcon 4.0 and how it compares to the real thing. Does locking a target in GM or GMT mode place some type of symbology on the HUD of the real jet? I have not seen this happen in F4, but would assume it occurs in the real jet. The symbology on the HUD would ease CCIP ...

*** Posted by run *** Yes, that's correct. [The stick can only move 1/4 of an inch maximum in all directions?]

*** Posted by Rapier *** The stick can only move 1/4 of an inch maximum in all directions?

*** Posted by run *** -The stick can move approximately 1/4 inch in both axes, and is rotated slightly cw. Maximun noseup and nosedown pitch commands are genrated by 25 and 16 pounds of input, respectively. Roll commands are generated by a maximum of 17 pounds in cruise gains and by 12 pounds in takeoff and landing gains. -The throttle can be ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Run, How much force do you have to use to move the stick and throttle in the F-16 roughly taking a guess? With regards to the stick (electronics)is it able to understand how fast the stick is being moved as well? Thanks Rapier
