F-16 Fighting Falcon Flight Simulator

Hold onto your hats when pushing the throttle forward on this baby. This F16 simulation add-on to Microsoft Flight Simulator X has speed to burn. The aircraft external and internal views are exceptional. The flight controls are responsive and smooth. Fully integrates into flt Sim X full scenery package. Recommend that you have a fast computer so as to be able to turn up the scenery options. This is an add-on simulation to flt Sim X that everyone can enjoy from rookie to expert arm chair pilot.

Plus - easy install, nice variety of liveries, most of the buttons work.
Minus - hud and mfd's are frustrating. They would not work if you simply select the plane from the free flight menu. The only way I could get them to work is to select my default cold and dark Cessna in the free flight menu, hit fly now, then start the Cessna, and finally change to the F16 in the drop down menu. So it's a little dated, I'm more used to Captain Sim when I just load up the plane in the free flight menu and I'm good to go.

Overall - I liked the plane but as usual in an aerosoft product, there is a little quirk which isn't doesn't match exactly other developers standards. Maybe Microsoft should have produced a guide for developers so everyone could follow the same standards. I spent a couple hours just getting the HUD to turn on by discovering this work around, and given the cost, this should have worked out of the box. I wouldn't spend over 15 for it, 10 would be better.

Once A Fighter Pilot (Paperback)

Review
"The best personal narrative of a start-to-finish career of a fighter pilot I have ever seen." -- Sanfelici, Arthur H., Editor of Aviation History Magazine

"Those more interested in modern-day, traditional fighter memoirs should take a look at Once a Fighter Pilot, by Little Rock's Jerry W. Cook, who now flies the Stephens Group Inc. corporate jet. Cook flew 400 hours on combat missions in Vietnam. Once A Fighter Pilot (McGraw-Hill, $22.95) is available in bookstores. He spent 10 years in the U.S. Air Force and was a brigadier general in the Arkansas Air National Guard before retiring in 1986." -- Thompson, Doug, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 10/13/96 --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Product Description

* Provides a rare insider's glimpse into the world of the flying elite, detailing their education, training, emotions, and day to day experiences
* Poignant, sometimes funny, brutally honest, always exciting, and an eye-opening look at one of the most tumultuous eras in U.S. history.

As an enthusiast of modern day aerial warfare, complete with its thrust-vectoring, BVR engagement, pin-point bomb delivery, and missiles that actually work, I had some reservations about reading this book. Adding to my apprehension was the timeframe, set early in the Viet Nam War while valuable lessons were still unlearned, and the mere fact that it had anything to do with the Viet Nam War. Though I was born as Saigon fell in '75, I feel such intense and conflicting emotions when reading about it. Anyways, let me just say that General Cook quickly laid to rest all of my apprehension. From page 1 onward I was hooked. "Once a Fighter Pilot" is a chronicle of Cook's Air Force career from enlistment, through training, and finally his deployment to, survival of, and return home from SE Asia. His recollections of his combat experiences are very vivid and involving, especially for the amount of time between the experiences and the writing of this book.

Most impressive was Cook's "anti-Maverick" attitude and admission of feeling real human emotions such as fear and sorrow, a rare quality among fighter-jock autobiographies. Most sobering were the General's accounts of losing close friends to accidents and to the enemy. Cook allows those of us who were born after the war to feel the pain and frustration of the generation that lived through it, feelings that bring with them an understanding of why that pain and frustration continue to be felt today. I had to refrain from giving this book a 10 simply because I wanted more.

Though Cook acknowledges that many memories have been forgotten or are so blurred to render them untransferable to the written word, I still felt like this man had many more stories of bravery, heroism, high-spirited wit, and sorrow to tell. I highly recommend this book not only to enthusiasts of military aviation, but to critics of those who put their lives on the line in Viet Nam, as well as anyone with an appreciation for good stories about the ups and downs of li! fe, especially stories that are as well-written and easy to follow as Cook's "Once a Fighter Pilot."

You want 3 photos of the refueling port showing exactly how it folds down as well as a lovely phot of the interior of the port? It's here. Want 4 photos of the new stiffners added to the fuselage? It's here. Want 12 pages of photos of the -A cockpit, 6 of the -C, and 2 pages just covering the ejector seat? Here you go. Want 2 pages of the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, another 2 of AAQ-14 Lantirn pod, and many other armaments including a full page of artwork showing all the things you can hang on a F-16? Yup, it's here. Does it have plans, you ask? Not only does it have plans of the plane, it has 6 pages of plans for the cockpits showing every knob, switch, and what have you.

This is a fantastic model reference. With books on the F-15, F/A-18, and F-14 either out or soon to be released, modelers of modern American fighters have little to complain about.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

The story looks simple at first. One Mirage 2000 is stolen and two French air force fighter pilots try to stop it. The stolen Mirage keeps showing an intimidating move, however, doggedly following one of them, so Captain Marchelli (Benoît Magimel) shoots it down, disobeying the order from the ground. It turns out later that his decision might be wrong.

So far so good, but after that point the film begins to introduce too many things one after another, leaving the puzzled viewers far behind. Before any hints as to the stolen Mirage is given, director Gérard Pirès (responsible the original `Taxi") throws in anything that could be used as excuse for showing the flying sequences - air exercises, The Cannonball Run-like race and national security problem. Except for the shots of the air force fighters (including that of the camera inside the cockpit or the aerial cinematography over the city of Paris), there is nothing suspenseful or thrilling about the film and its conclusion is really anti-climax, nothing that would satisfy anybody.

F-16 Fighting Falcon Units

Product Description

The F-16, called the Viper by its pilots, has been the most prolific fighter in US and Coalition operations in the Middle East for over a decade. Since the 1991 Gulf War, it has been the workhorse of the UN-sanctioned operations in the region, working in "Wild Weaselâ™, ground attack and air superiority roles. Operations Southern Watch and Northern Watch required daily and continuous combat patrols over Iraqi territory for over a decade â€" a task that was made simpler by the bountiful supply of F-16s in USAF service, and the fact that the jet has always been able to assume multiple roles and uses. When US President George W Bush ordered his forces into Iraq in March 2003, the F-16CJ was the second aircraft to enter enemy airspace-proper, sweeping the skies for electrons in a bid to find, identify and kill Iraqâ™s comprehensive air defence system. With the mission fulfilled, hordes of other Coalition fighters followed, including F-16CGs, which were used with great success to strike numerous targets.

Reach for the Sky: The Story of Douglas Bader, Legless Ace of the Battle of Britain (Bluejacket Books) (Paperback)

A "gut" book in which intestinal fortitude is the answer to a life without legs. Douglas Bader lost both of his in an airplane crash, nearly died in the operations following it, determined he would walk on his artificial legs without a cane - and did - and managed to return to the British Air Force. When the Air Ministry "retired" him, he made the best of civilian life but when World War II broke, Bader was back in a flash and quickly built himself a reputation which eventually carned him his own squadron.

Flying, fighting, his example was an inspiration to all the men, his score of Me's mounted and when he was taken prisoner, his spare leg was flown over to him. He managed one escape, and with the war's end has continued his career in the clouds.....It's quite a story and it never forgets the amazing and sensitive support given by his wife, Thelma, whose understanding complemented his courage and determination. Something. (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Douglas Bader was a legend in his lifetime. After losing both legs in an air crash in 1931 and being dismissed as a cripple by the Royal Air Force, he fought his way back into the cockpit of a Spitfire to become one of the great heroes of the Battle of Britain. This inspiring biography of the famous World War II fighter pilot, first published in 1954, has a following of faithful readers who come back to the book time and again to re-read, share with their children and pass along to friends.

Not many books have made such an impact on people's lives. Bader's story is so extraordinary that no one would dare invent it, and Brickhill succeeds in matching the excitement of Bader's war deeds with the triumph of his greater battle over a severe handicap. Told he would never walk without a cane, Bader learned to dance, swim, golf, and play tennis. Told he would never fly again, he became not only one of the RAF's top combat pilots but a squadron leader and innovator of fighter tactics that helped win the Battle of Britain. Among the thrilling incidents chronicled in the book are Bader's first successful encounter with an enemy plane, his own shoot down, and his succession of escapes from German prisons.
