Another T4

Panelling work is going veeeerrrry slowly (boring stuff to do)

 

 

I borrowed the photoflash flare from Pasko's Mosquito and discovered that, when loaded in the wingman bomb bay (as a rocket pod) it bugs the AI (...intelligence )

To start his pass, the wingman deploys the airbrakes, climbs till 12000ft, stalls and crashes...

Everything went ok when I deleted the flares RP in the loadout.ini file.

 

I made up a bomb sight for the BI8 with a camera.

Do 1500ft AGL and 350kt are right values for a bombing run?

 

By the way, the amount of fuel of the B2 internal tanks is :

512 UK gal in the n°1 tank

317 UK gal in the n°2 tank

545 UK gal in the n°3 tank

In the loadout menu, 100% fuel gives 10450lbs.

Scrambled eggs right on time for lunch break

37 sec to fall...

From 30000ft it becomes impossible to keep the course, because I lost sight of the red square too long before dropping.

45 sec to fall :)

Looking forward to this one. Time to think up some "Colonial Difficulties" for the RAF.

[+Cliff7600 1,148]

Last week I had some concerns about the idea of using a camera as a bombsight.

The first tests were with 500lbs bombs and when I tried some 1000lbs bombs I realised that it didn't work at altitude.

 

In fact, at 10000ft slowing down by 5kts for a 750lbs M117 (345knt IAS) and 10kts for a 1000lbs Mk13 (340kts) makes it.

Add 7kts (357kts) for a 250lbs bomb.

 

 

 

(...still panelling to finish)

(and find a way of using the original B2 bombsight, editing altitude and speed.

Why bombing at 250kts when you can do it at 350?)

 

...350kts IAS, 10000ft AGL, +/-3.1NM...

I guess radar bombing mode is doable, by editing the GroundMap radar setting in the avionics file.

But not for the B2 lol

At 54000 ft, while testing a new mach meter gauge with the T4

And it's only a Canberra lol

Hey, great result, 13 1000 pounders for 1 fuel truck

 

(good performance anyway for to be honest, I NEVER hit a moving fuel truck with anything but gunfire, a salvo of unguided rockets or a cluster bomb..)

It wasn't moving so I could aim at it.

 

The BI8 is much better for that type of target but, with the B2 a salvo of 6x500lbs should deal with it (no room enough for 13xMk13 lol)
