The rules of engagement are to not fire unless fired upon but, after evading the missile, the aggressor has closed to within visual range. It is then that you decide to handle the situation using the greatest economy.
Leaving Seattle for a zippy, low-altitude hop to Portland in TorqueSim's Cirrus SR22TN G3, basically to appreciate the Orbx TrueEarth adventures of both Washington and Oregon. Come for terrain, stay for the mountains.

Leaving Seattle for a zippy, low-altitude hop to Portland in the TorqueSim SR22TN to appreciate the HD scenery from Orbx.
Looking to get back into flying air-to-air online. Any DCS pilots care to help an old dogfighter shake-off the rust?
Recreating a real-world hop from Spokane to Montana, I take the opportunity to review Just Flight's Piper Warrior II.
Starting the Piper Archer III with a flooded engine.
Shutting down the Piper PA28-181 Archer III's engine.
From the Piper Archer III Pilot's Operating Handbook, here's how to start its engine normally. I say normally because there will be a companion video on starting an engine that's flooded.
Reducing between 250 miles between Spokane, Washington and Portland, Oregon, to a few scant minutes in Airfoillabs' King Air 350. And somewhere along the way, I become really impressed with this plane.
A sunrise hop into turbulent skies above central Pennsylvania where both xEnviro and XPRealistic are behaving :)
This is a cross-country hop in the beefy Beechcraft Bonanza G36., from pastoral Bristol to metropolitan London City.
Zipping high and fast across Washington State in TorqueSim's Cirrus SR22TN w/Avidyne Entegra avionics, supplemented by Reality XP's GTN 750 and GNS 430. Weather by xEnviro. Video to follow.
Put that turbo normalization kit in the Cirrus SR22TN to good use in flying high above solid xEnviro overcast AND take advantage of an 85 mph tailwind. Got from Detroit to southern New Jersey in just over an hour :)
