H o w - T o Flight Model modification for Jane’s WWII Fighters
	Thanks to Steve “Judge” Dickson’s Sqzip extraction utility, fans of Jane’s WWII Fighters now have the ability to extract and modify the flight parameter files of the combat planes in the game. Joe Hong takes us on a technical overview of this complicated, physics-riddled, and mathematical world of flight model editing. Flight Model modification for Jane’s WWII Fighters


T r a i n i n g SDOE Mission Making Tutorial - Part 1
	Good missions are an important part of a good game. Even more so is understanding how to make good missions. SDOE came without an effective tutorial on Mission Creation. Contributor Scott Verge took upon this task to create an in-depth and resourceful SDOE Mission Making Tutorial. SDOE Mission Making Tutorial - Part 1 SDOE Mission Making Tutorial - Part 2


Feature: Target Area Mechanics
	John "Zambo" Zambie has written an excellent article about target area mechanics based on his experience as a Harrier pilot in the United States Marine Corps. Zambo has been an excellent source of information in our forums, and he's been kind enough to share his knowledge of real world tactics with his fellow simulation pilots. Target Area Mechanics


Aircraft Systems Training by Bill Hewett A2A Radar
	The Multi-sensor integration on the F/A 18E takes target information from various sources, correlates them and displays the result to you as a fused MSI trackfile. These files are displayed on the A/A Radar page and on the Situational Awareness (SA) page. Radar Modes in the F/A-18E

Air Combat T a c t i c s by "Spectre" and Dave Pascoe Falcon 4.0: SAM Avoidance and SEAD Debriefing
	SAMs, as most of you well know, come in three distinct and deadly flavors. Radar guided, whether its CW (continuous wave) or TVM (track via missile), IR and Optical. Optical guided SAMs are not really a separate SAM type but more of a back-up. F4 Survival Guide F4 SAM Avoidance F4 SEAD Debriefing F4 Index


Air Combat T r a i n i n g F4: Various Writers Formation Flying, Bullseye Calls, IFR, Building Gorillas
	Real pilots attest to the fact that they are trained on formation skills long before they go into advanced topics such as dog fighting. Here too is a training article on Bullseye calls.

Air Combat T r a i n i n g by Joseph Hong and Leon "Badboy" Smith Energy Management and ACM
	Sim pilots will usually know the corner velocity and the sustained turn velocity of their favorite fighter planes, but have only a rough idea of the flight envelope of their favorite mount. A tool that real fighter pilots use to analyze an aircraft's performance is the Energy-Maneuverability Diagram, or E-M chart. Using E-M Charts E-M Charts II Energy and ACM
