Many, many thanks for your help in the above post. I managed to drop bombs but being at about 15,00 feet I did not see them explode. So I will try and do a low level attack on a runway to watch the result. I was successful firing rockets, I prefer the smaller SNEB type variants and also managed to set off a Sidewinder by mistake.
My second flight last night I managed to get a radar lock on a small Cessna but that is still something I need to master, along with A/A refuelling.
Following that flight I headed out to sea and seven passes later managed my first carrier trap on wire number 4. Forgot to activate the vLSO programme for the call outs.
I did check ithe pilots cockpit and the trigger and pickel buttons are recognised so at least that is working.
My Sim version is MS-FSX:SE. I have the deluxe edition with the SDK but somebody has 'damaged' one of the disks so after custom building a PC opted for FSX Steam. Some quirks have been ironed out but also DTG have added a few of their own. Trying to fly the JF Canberra can cause problems if you don't know how to get around them - thankfully the internet came to my rescue there.
Back to the Phantom it is very demanding but does provide great satisfaction if you do everything correctly and I do forsee many hours of 'fun' ahead. A pity I am spoilt for choice of military aircaft in ny virtual hangar as to decide what to fly.
I have watched your latest video which I also found very informative and most helpful.
Does the carrier tractor come with the Phantom package or the Midway package? I ask because JF currently have both on sale at 50% off until tomorrow.
Once again thanks for your help I do appreciate it.
