On Tuesday August 13th we had the pleasure of attending a special event in Gatineau Quebec. The airshow was featuring the Red Arrows plus a few other performances.
This was the start of the Red Arrows North American Tour.
The
weather was excellent and all the performers did a great job.
You can view some of the pictures we took of the static displays and performances here.
Sydy has produced some excellent dogfight videos using our recently released FA-18C Aggressors Basic Fighter Maneuvers campaign. If you are having trouble beating the AI bandits please watch his videos for some excellent one vs one guns only dogfight tactics and techniques!
These experiences will certainly help you especially if you plan to participate in the recently announced Folds of Honor Fight for Honor 2019 charity event.
Many thanks to Sydy for taking the time to record and publish his experience so everyone can benefit.
The campaign puts you in the cockpit of an FA-18C Hornet, as a new Aggressor pilot with VFC-12 the "Fighting Omars" on loan to the 65th Aggressor Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base.
Based on real world procedures you will fly as Red Air against Blue Air Forces. Upon arrival you will fly a familiarization flight around the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). Then you will face a series of challenging Basic Fighter Maneuver (BFM) missions against similar and dis-similar aircraft.
Your opponents include the F-4E, F-5E, F-14A, F-15C, F-15E, F-16C, F/A-18C, M-2000C, MiG-29G, CF-188, MiG-21 and Su-27.
Additionally there are 12 single player practice missions with in-air starts so you can perfect your BFM tactics, techniques and procedures.
There are over 1000 voice-overs and over 45 pages of briefing material including the RED FLAG Spins, Red Forces In Flight Guide, Maps, Diagrams, Custom Knee-boards and Mission Data cards.
