Trying a bunch of things with this old bird

Making a decal --> fail! I had to paint it on the fuselage.

 

Ajusting the MiG-21 pit, making all lights working for "something" whatever it is... xD

(mixing landing gear and oil pressure to get hydraulic pressure)

 

Editing the landing gear, making the upper airbrake work with the big tank under the belly.

 

Having thrust-vector input for 2 actions! >:^.

(canopy open from cockpit view when on ground + underside airbrake in flight)

 

Activating the auto-pilot, pretending there's a qualified flight instructor in the nose, while enjoying the view.

 

Not pushing too far the engines (they tend to blow up...)

 

Not getting myself lost while staring at the Machmeter...

 

Being in short final when the fuel tanks get empty :^@

 

Improving my glider pilot skill quickly because I wasn't in final at all... ("What could be the best glide ratio speed of the MiG-25?")

 

Really fun :^)

Well... I made it back safely. I made three passes and claim for two kills.

Maciejowski lost his nose wheel, and made a crash landing with a badly damaged aircraft.

Same for captain Gnys, lost the nose wheel too.

Koc kept his landing gear complete, but his plane was badly damaged too. He made it back ok.

I told the chief not to worry too much about the missing nose wheels, because we discovered during debrief we have a bunch of spares !

I was asked to prevent friendly fire for missions to come.

Yeah, I wish it was ! We would had blown up something at least...

 

(Target was a flight of B-52D, not a scratch !)

On a test day, to evaluate my skills as a (maybe) future A-4 flying instructor.

 

Front seat at first

post-46431-0-05482500-1453770937_thumb.jpg

 

Have to be really good !

post-46431-0-76710200-1453770950_thumb.jpg

 

Yeah, nicely done :^)

post-46431-0-31211300-1453770966_thumb.jpg

 

Then... from the back seat :^/

post-46431-0-63487200-1453770979_thumb.jpg

 

Let's go !

post-46431-0-83371500-1453770993_thumb.jpg

 

First attempt, doesn't look that bad...

post-46431-0-06243800-1453771063_thumb.jpg

 

...was bad :^( Go around !

post-46431-0-23469200-1453771074_thumb.jpg

 

Second chance... (my instructor in the front seat doesn't seem too worried)

post-46431-0-76532500-1453771089_thumb.jpg

 

Yeah, good one !

post-46431-0-13340200-1453771101_thumb.jpg

 

:^) Done ! Not sacked today xD

post-46431-0-42763700-1453771114_thumb.jpg

 

(Funny thing, I lived that situation in real life, instructor training, but not in aviation ;^)

And then I worked a while as an instructor trainer. Not an easy job... it requires a lot of patience xD)

2nd landing pattern, the 1st was too low in final

post-46431-0-17637600-1454013619_thumb.jpg

 

The 1st was too low... remember?

post-46431-0-82433000-1454013640_thumb.jpg

No you cannot switch between front and back seats. It's preset with different ini files before launching the mission.

 

It can be done with an animation in the cockpit 3D model that has to be created by the 3D modder before the LOD is exported.

And even this way, only the cockpit moves, you keep the same view of the 3D aircraft model.

I know it's alot to ask of this ole girl {game},, to run more than one cockpit veiw,, I got spoiled with Janes F-15 ,, what I was looking for was a bombadier station other than no cockpit view with a bombsight,, of course I have to refer to another game free falcon 6 has a nice bomb station for the B-52 but I guess I can live with what I got.

it had just dawned on me the cobra helicopters could switch back en forth but that's neither here or there.
