I open Equipment/Maps, click "traffic", see the two aircraft "Jones" and "Cooper", track them down with the UFO, they show proper smoke trails, I shoot at them, I shoot them down. It works! | |||

Here is where you spend hours researching real F-15s, flying against the AI models with the UFO and other aircraft, tweaking parameters in the -bombableinclude.xml file, and so on and on. | |||
You're just getting started. | |||
