Good tip, thanks.

with the 16k mod those condition will give your watch crew visibility to well over 15km away. Which makes a big difference....

You are running 8k... the farthest with that your crew will be able to see is about 5km... which means the plane will be on top of you before you can blink.

Yeah, I understand the advantage of the 16k mod. It's a pity that it takes a mod to allow your crew to react as they might have done IRL.
For me the question is whether my computer can handle the 16k mod. I
think I have the processor and RAM (P4 2.8GHz, 3GB), but my graphics card is a lowly ATI RADEON 9600 with only 128MB. Anbyody know whether this can handle the 16k atmosphere mod?

Crashdive here! Before you take any more damage.
IX's are slow Crashdivers... but... with the 16k mod, they might just about get under in time. At least... thats my experiences both from gameplay and testing.

Understood. I was wondering whether there was sufficent time to complete a crash dive between passes. From your answer I take it there is.
