No club on the islands, atolls and such ? A " dry " Marine Corps ? Not in my Navy ! CL

SEAC Roundels ? CL

Hey group, I've been messing with my weapons groups, weight and diameter limits in an attempt to duplicate the ordinance load outs the Navy used on A-1H and Js in the Vietnam Conflict. It appears most loads where symmetrical. Heavy to lighter inboard to outboard. Large diameter weps like LAU-3s and BLU-10s (Fire Eye ?) were mounted on the outer wing pylons alternately. Although the outer wing pylons , 1-12 had a 500 pound limit 500 lb bombs and 500 lb Snakeyes ( More then 500 lbs in Data ini ) were mounted on every other pylon also. Sometimes a 250 lb was placed in between the 500s or LAU-3s but this tweak doesn't support that and to cover all loadouts I've seen in pictures we would need at least 9 weapons groups and an Air Force Sandy Low Lead would need more. I left Gun pods on stations 6 & 7, Group 4 for fun. While trying to cover most cases I'm probably barely covering only half of all the loads on piactures Here a few that this does support. Early conflict. HVARs outside, 250s and large Nape inboard. We need the red 1000lb nape tho. SAR, HU-16 Escort. With or without bombs. MK-82 Snackeyes and LAU-10s Toilet Bomb on station 12 but no joy for the rest of the loadout. When somebody builds us some AN M-57A1 & AN M-64A1 cone tails I'll do a tweak for the Sani Flush. // Weapon Stations --------------------------------------------------------- [LeftOutStation1] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=1 StationGroupID=1 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-5.90,-0.09,-0.63 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=119.250 DiameterLimit=0.36 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [RightOutStation1] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=2 StationGroupID=1 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 5.90,-0.09,-0.63 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=119.250 DiameterLimit=0.48 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [LeftOutStation2] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=3 StationGroupID=1 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-5.49,-0.06,-0.67 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=254.03 DiameterLimit=0.36 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [RightOutStation2] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=4 StationGroupID=1 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 5.49,-0.06,-0.67 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=254.03 DiameterLimit=0.36 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [LeftOutStation3] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=5 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-5.08,-0.04,-0.71 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=119.250 DiameterLimit=0.36 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [RightOutStation3] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=6 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 5.08,-0.04,-0.71 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=119.250 DiameterLimit=0.36 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [LeftOutStation4] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=7 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-4.67,-0.01,-0.75 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=254.03 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [RightOutStation4] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=8 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 4.67,-0.01,-0.75 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=254.03 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [LeftOutStation5] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=9 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-4.26, 0.02,-0.79 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=119.250000 DiameterLimit=0.36 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [RightOutStation5] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=10 StationGroupID=3 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 4.26, 0.02,-0.79 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=119.250000 DiameterLimit=0.36 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [LeftOutStation6] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=11 StationGroupID=4 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-3.85, 0.05,-0.83 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=254.03 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,GP,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [RightOutStation6] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=12 StationGroupID=4 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 3.85, 0.05,-0.83 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=254.03 DiameterLimit=0.44 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT,GP,RP AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=10.00 PylonDragArea=0.01 [LeftWingStationInboard] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=13 StationGroupID=5 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-2.94,0.44,-1.06 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1360.78 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RP,FT AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=31.75 PylonDragArea=0.03 FuelTankName=Tank300_A1H ;FuelTankNodeName=droptank_L [RightWingStationInboard] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=14 StationGroupID=5 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 2.94,0.44,-1.06 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1360.78 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RP,FT AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=31.75 PylonDragArea=0.03 FuelTankName=Tank300_A1H ;FuelTankNodeName=droptank_R [CenterlineStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=15 StationGroupID=6 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=0,0.81,-1.14 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1621.62 LengthLimit=5.0 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,FT AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName= PylonMass=63.50 PylonDragArea=0.02 FuelTankName=Tank300_A1H ;FuelTankNodeName=droptank_C CL

Nice Thank you. Get well soon . CL

Napalm, 1000 LB, Red, One Each. It looks dark pink to me tho. CL

KDX-200 with an FMF pipe and muffler CL

Is the club close to the ramp or do we have to take a jeepney ? CL

I can't wait. What is the time window for this incident ? Am I to early ? Should I strap on another fuel tank and orbit for ah..... while. CL

Most splendid ! And Thanks. CL

And some photo documentation. CL

Perhaps they where "built" in the southern hemisphere and those are actually the floors. CL

Oh ! Its the Air Force trans continental version of the AD-4N with galley, staterooms, strato lounge and theatre. Cancelled due to protests from an ornamental house plant rights group stating that the ferns in the lounge were treated inhumanely. CL

Shown here on this RF-4 : Thanks Gruppe. CL

Affirmative ! More VMCJ birds please. CL

Thanks KB. Pretty allusive info on this pod huh ? I suspected the 81 and 83 were used in pairs. By low level are we are talking about quality of the threat or altitude ? Also I'm seeing some with and without "antlers" at the front. CL

A possible AN / ALQ-81 on an A-3. CL

Light Gull Grey and White ? CL

Yah I get Chaff. I was interpreting this as an active decoy whatsit. I hated that pod on my Helo. I don't remember a single time on spot 3 that thing would punch a few out on the flight deck. I could launch flares but not chaff. Blame the enlisted Aircrewman anyway tho. CL

Radar jammer expendables ? CL

More common as a ground object then flying in reality / history. CL

I wish I could do that. CL

Good Eye. I never noticed they where different. CL

It appears the black whale with the light satiny sheen looks closer to the pictures I've seen Mjr BK. Both are very nice. Black, Bare Metal and White always seemed to me the hardest to use for modeling. Hey Yak, do you have this sheet in your skin collection ? CL

How about the all black one ? CL

We definitely need more Whales. CL
