be able to see how pretty bad footage it is in some instances , there was no CGI back in time
A lot of footage was also staged just for the movie , almost useless video for any references

Of course it is so!

BG-09 I don't think it is an antenna cable, if it were so to what would it be connected? Also at 6:49 there is a similar fluttering strand that appears to be connected to the front edge of the windshied going on an up angle. I suspect that both strands are hair or something similar caught in shutter mechanism of the camera.

Edit Both strands can seen in this screen shot, (arrows only added).

BG-09 I eat my words and apologise. I snatched this at 9:49 and it is very definately a long wire aerial and is connected to the insulator at the top of the fin, (and you can see it moving!). It is not at all clear where or to what it is connected at the forward end. In this view it appears to be well above the rear cockpit cover, but logic says that if it were connected thus getting in and out would be very awkward.


All a bit academic really, it certainly carries you point to Oleg well.
Again my apologies.

Mystery solved. I should have looked at the start of the videeo clip. The long wire antenna is connected between the fin and a radio mast forward of the cockpit and is centre fed to the radio bay by the wire on the starboard side.
I can go back to day dreaming now.

Amazing screenshots.

Nice update Oleg and team!

This is the game i am going to buy a new hotas system for! Throttle, stick and pedals that is. I had an older version but i need a new usb version for this game...

Because the game will be soo good, you'll cost me serious money Mr. Maddox...And team....

I had a bit like a déjà vu while watching that clip.

Well , I just did stupid comment since it was not related to this exactly
antenna point you were refering to and antenna wiring can be used as reference .
I am sorry BG-09
