There is an excellent thread at combat sim written by a real fighter pilot. Even if it is mostly about Jet sims, it covers a lot of good ideas about padlock. I had a great time to read it

Great thread.

I've only read the first page (so far.) Did they mention SDOE's zooming padlock? That made all the difference in the world to me.

No, the thread sticks to FA/18 but it's still cool,I particularly liked early on he stated that the avionics in most of the sims he's flown(F4,FA-18)were HARDER to learn than the real ones!!lol!

The zooming padlock in this game is great though,call me a wimp or whatever but I fly almost all the time in padlock now when in combat,I just started doing that a couple of months ago,used to just look up,left,right and forward, a throwback to how I learned in AOTP and AOE.

Huge mount of insight from him and Andy .. I like the points about removing external views as the difficulty level goes up; padlock center of view; invisible in clouds or when your plane is in the way; VID changing with distance; and the custom pit hardware
