USAF - First Look

  Mission Builder: UME

Depending on the install you chose you will find a very powerful mission builder tucked away in your \Resource\Missions directory. I haven't had time to experiment much, but it looks possible to create some very sophisticated missions using this resource.

USAF F15C Outside View with HUD

News and Views

USAF has a fairly flexible view system, and you can fly with fixed cockpit, virtual cockpit, and no cockpit view with HUD. You can also fly using an outside view with HUD, a nice option for those atmospheric but less dangerous moments.

The padlock view seems to work well, and you also have options to padlock your target or your wingman. Again, these are fairly standard features but sometimes are missed in the rush to get a product to market. The virtual cockpit slews very nicely, and the reflections are in full color!
