<font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Finally got a chance
to play around with this a bit. Pretty interesting stuff, but
the learning curve is very steep. Unfortunately from what I
can tell the manuals cover the operation of each of the
different missile systems, but fail to talk at ALL about the
basic operation of the program. This led to much wasted time
playing around in the "practice" mode which, amusingly enough,
does not allow you to shoot any missiles. "Live practice"
does, however.<br>
<br>
Another major drawback of the manuals is they jump back and
forth between talking about how to operate the sim, and the
history/technical information on the SAM being simulated. I
actually threw the manual into Adobe pro and removed all of
the pages not related to actually operating the sim to make it
a bit easier. It would have been nice if he organized the
manual a little differently, segregating the information.<br>
<br>
Once you get the hang of it, though, it's quite interesting to
experience. A few of these SAMs are in use out here in my AOR,
so it's quite interesting to see how they are operated. From a
pilots perspective (even sim pilots), SAMs are just this
deadly thing that suddenly flies up at you. ;) It's kinda cool
to see the intricacies of operating it, even against a
non-jamming, non-maneuvering target.<br>
<br>
It would be REALLY cool to be able to integrate this sim with
a flight sim... but alas I doubt that would ever happen.
Sounds like an excellent flightgear project, though. ;)<br>
