I'm sure the Chinese will give Gates some PF Changs gift certificates while he's there for his retirement gift as well as cancelling the Raptor.

My suggestion... Don't get a Saitek stick. An old Atari joystick has better motion for a flight simulator. Word, Cotton. It's amazing that we've found that $20 sticks that are something like 10 years old have worked the best for some of our guys. Saitek just blows. Remember they're owned by a compa...

My favorite was the Diamond 360 they did (part of the low show?) because all 8 engines hit afterburner at show center and I ALMOST had to cover my ears for once, haha! Burner 270! Diamond 360 in Blues nomenclature is the "Pass in Review" for the Tbirds. It's part of a "Flat Roll TUB" or "Flat" show...

If it says "US Air Force" on it it's actually an F-51. She's painted in Korean era markings. (Sorry, I'm a Mustang nut!) :D

I think it would look a lot cleaner if the #4 went into the slot right after takeoff as opposed to over the top. Just my opinion.

Have you tried this in FC2 with correct fuel settings? Seems a bit difficult to say the least.

Tried it.

Put the flaps out on takeoff, then get above ~270 they retract.

Also, tried an MRT (entry at 450, full burner, full backstick) and by 180 degrees into the turn I was down to 250kts, so there is some more bleed than before.

Flaps also add drag now.

Had a chance to talk to him on Facebook for about 2 minutes. He can only type one handed but just knowing it was really him on the other end meant all the world.
