Dear Jane,I am sorry dear, but it has come time for us to part ways. I have found another love. She is smart, beautiful, and man can she fly! I have tried and tried to get you to handle my 8G turns, I have tried to keep you from stalling. Alas, I can not worry about such things anymore. And please, lets not even discuss your ridiculas hardware requirements! I mean, I know you gals like a fast CPU, but you won't even do 25 FPS for me. All the "other" ones do. I have been with you from the beginning, and although we had some good times, the bad times outwiegh the the good. My new love has a name, it's Falcon 4.0 Maybe one day if you get yourself in shape, get some friends, and stop wearing that piggishly slow flight model of yours we can work things out. Until then I will be booming and zooming into real world battelfields, going into the vertical (without hearing your annoying stall horn every 5 damn seconds), and dropping bombs without my wingman shooting me in the back. Good Day.

Well JFA-18 has been long removed from my HD. The reason? Well I'm not sure really. It got to the point where it wasn't fun anymore, and at that point continuing was purposeless. I guess the things that most annoyed me were (in no particular order)A) The bland FM. Not that I'm saying it's wrong, just that if it's right then god help the USN..... Severe under-power, and a dreadfully short range. No thanks. Oh, and the same ability to conserve energy as a damp loaf of mouldy bread. B) The mission became repetative- the inevitable 4:1 ratio of aircraft against me, and they are usually MiG-29 or SU-27/35, thus resulting in an early and extremely cold bath for my entire flight. As I say, this sin't fun. C) The crippled performance. Ok, it wasn't all that bad on my Athlon 700, but it was still occasionally frustrating. Things I really liked:
A) Under most circumstances the graphics- awsome! With the exception of the terrain. B) The systems modelling is second-to-none. Oh well, maybe when next I upgrade I'll have another look, but not soon I fear. Cheers, WUlf. ------------------ Make sure the enemy is willing to die for his country. Then you both have the same aim in mind!

HAHA, HAHA HEH HEH!!! Aw Wulfrick,, you just cracked me up good..what do you mean the 4:1 ratio got to you!! The ammount of enemy aircraft in F-18 with the exception of user created missions is much more realistic then most sims.. take Falcon 4.0 for example, try a ratio of about 10:1 at times
