At about 1:35 in the video you are just over 200ft AGL. In the event of a rope break at that height, your suggestion to turn back 180 degrees may be a little questionable from a safety point of view.
When you designate a target on the HAD it applies a cursor slew. The cursor slew carries over when you switch steerpoint. If you want to clear the cursor slew so the steerpoint icon/Spi returns to the steerpoint, press CZ (cursor zero) on the FCR/TGP/HSD page. This is correct and how the F-16 works
Very Cool video, to make it more realistic. I think you should used the IRIAF Iranian F-14A skin to make it more realistic as those are the F-14s that will engage Israeli jets… If they do fight.
