"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Great shots Chuck. Smiley
What happens when the missile impacts, is there an explosion?

Thanks Larry, I've only experimented a little bit but, if you shoot at an AI aircraft there is an explosion........unfortunately, the aircraft does not go down in flames Undecided
So far as I can tell, the ground ordinance produces no explosion......just an audible bang.

When you stop and think about it, that's actually kinda handy - you don't have to load up a fresh one  Smiley.

Awesome shots Chuck. Smiley

Also, one thing I've always wondered about this bird, what happens after you eject?  Do you lose control of the plane?  Or is the flight automatically ended?

After the ejection sequence the plane keeps going whichever way it was pointed. After a few seconds, the canopy, pilot, and ejection seat respawn and you resume control of the aircraft. So, you can do it as many times as you want without having to restart your flight Wink

Flip the master arm switch, (located on the left forward constrol panel, under the multi function display) then select AA (just above the master arm switch). You may have to push the "W" key (or use the multi function display) to cycle weapons to which missile you want to shoot. Now, whatever button you have assigned to "incrementally close flaps" is the missile trigger. You can fire until the current weapon is expended, then you must select another weapon. Wink
Hope this gets you shooting Smiley

Now that seems a bit unorthodox to me, using the flaps key. Why not the brakes, like several other designs, which has no affect on anything while airborne? With the inclusion of firing weapons on so many military models these days, it seems there is a need for a standardized key for guns. And where there is a switch to select bombs or rockets, the default drop object key would suffice. Both can be mapped to a particular button on a joystick.

Relooking at number three - what's that screen shaped device on the right wing - forget your laptop?  Smiley.

It's the cowl flaps key, which obviously has no use for a jet so, it kind of works......I think you can re-map it if you want.
