View File F-102A Delta Dagger Cockpit (Field Modified) V.5 This is a field-modified Convair F-102A Delta Dagger cockpit for Veltro2k's beautiful F-102A based on Pasko's F-106 stunning cockpit. It has been modified over time by crews in the field as newer equipment came in and older equipment broke down and needed to be replaced. Apparently historically after time, almost no two F-102A cockpits had the same equipment in the same places as the others. This is based on Pasko's beautiful later Convair F-106A Delta Dart Cockpit. Tape gages were eliminated. Round gages were added. The moving map was removed and the radar display was changed and made a historically correct orange. The radar hood was made into a F-102A version. Lots of other detail work done was from actual color cockpit photos. It is much "greyer" and simpler than the later F-106A cockpit. Thanks to Pasko for his fantastic F-106 cockpit included in the complete later F-106A Delta Dart that you can download at CombatAce. If I forgot anyone, I appologize and please tell me. I finished this cockpit about a year before the Veltro2k F-102A was released and I lost track of things. Apparently some USAAF Viet Nam pilots jury-rigged a mini-gun into the F-102 for some extra buzz. Version History: V.2 You can now see the wing tips and wing tanks from the cockpit...thanks for Lexx_luthor's suggestion Thanks to Dave to point out the goof I made that it was Pasko's F-106 cockpit and not Dave's that I based the model on. V.3 Added to the bottom right instrument panel: 1) an AC voltmeter and 2) a master warning test and reset switch which some photos show and 3) more detail to the warning light panel as per color cockpit photos making it even more different than the standard F-106 cockpit. V.4 Added the huge signature F-102A red nav indicator light to the middle of the panel. Changed the colors of the artificial horizon to F-102 specific colors and markings. Changed the colors of the Radio direction instrument to F-102 specific colors and markings. This is probably the final version. V.5 I now included the very specific F-102A artificial horizon this time with gray-blue top, gray markings, black bottom with blue markings which I left out in V.4 by mistake. If you compared the photo with the current F-102A artificial horizon, you can probably see the difference. A visual thread showing these additions: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=39881 =========== Instructions: 1-Backup your files! 2- Unzip the F-102 cockpit to ...SFP1ObjectsAircraftF-102A. 3-When prompted, overwrite the files.

If you want to add realism to your game, I find that using models is a really great enhancement. It makes the game come alive for me so that I can compare a Yak to a FW-190, Bf-109, etc. especially in this large scale. This is the first-ever Yak-1 in the large 1/32nd scale that I have seen and I have waited my whole life for one in this huge scale. Use your search engine if interested. Supporting them will hopefully mean more versions coming out in the future.

I know it sounds stupid, but it was in the news quite a bit a while back (1999)...it might also be coincidental. However, one Pensacola cadet apparently did extremely well by mocking up Pensacola, and the T-34 in off-the-shelf M$ Flightsim 98 before doing primary flight. Apparently, he was so succussful, if true, that the Navy copied his basic program. ie. You might want to look into M$ simulator for pretraining. He had a stick, throttle, rudder pedals as well. The original articles in newspapers are long-since erased but some follow-ups still remain. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa38...907/ai_n8858226 http://www.baseops.net/flightsimulators/ http://archives.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computin....idg/index.html http://www.openp2p.com/pub/a/p2p/2001/08/2...war.html?page=3

I am an ERAU grad. I was highly impressed with the education...it wasn't "ivory tower" crap but real-world oriented. I've been out since about 1990. ERAU grads keep getting mentioned time and again in my life. I highly recommend it for an aviation career. They were good about having links to jobs as well. I worked my ass off though while there...but it was worth it....but expensive. But yeah, you need to consider if the money is worth it. You don't want to be in debt until you are 40. Talk to a community college advisor first to try to get a sense of what you can do. But, I really loved it and don't regret it at all. I praise you for asking questions like this when you are young.

It is already there. It is called the Corsair 1. You can download US skins for it.

Hmmm, so Kevin, I'm confused. Is there a place to download the F-80 pit? I seemed to hear "yesses" and "noes" all over the message?!!! Thanks, Richard "Pitts2A" Ordway

I also buy extra copies to help out...as you said there are so few flight sims any more being produced. Remember, the art patrons of the 1700s-1800s which allowed timeless works of art to be produced.

Thank You! Fantastic. I've been waiting a long time for this one. I didn't realize how huge the F-101 was until I saw it in a picture next to an F-4.

"Since this is my first campaign any feedback is more then welcome." Berlin crisis is a great idea! But the information given so far does not make me want to download it. Most modders include in the download description what the plot (story) is and when it is taking place...is it in the 1970's-1980s or 1990s. Please just edit your description and provide the plot and the time it is occuring. Thanks for your hard work.

Hmmm, maybe I am wrong, but I recently (last month or so) read on a defense forum that BVR is almost useless in reality because of friendly fire concerns. In the opening salvo of a war where you know it's only enemy "over there" it usually works (unless neutral or friendly neighboring countries might have enemy aircraft types). However after the war starts, it gets almost impossible to know and coordinate where all your friendlies are including Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine air units and Allies, helicopter, observation, recce, drone, close support, transport, all over the place. The defense forum stated that even recently in Iraq with the most advanced military and AWACS systems on the planet and complete air superiority, the USA was still killing its own air units by other friendly air units. Maybe the IFF breaks down on a single aircraft/helicopter. Maybe there is combat damage that disables the IFF. Maybe an emergency rescue mission is needed or a sudden fire support mission is needed to stop a base overrun as in Viet Nam, etc. Maybe the best trained AWACS operator in the world screws up (like in Iraq) and you got a friendly fire incident that actually happened in Iraq. Another concern is emission radar identification missile technologies. In it, the seeker warhead can detect the emissions of a certain aircraft based on shape, engine waves, etc, a SU-27 for example. Your Allies or neighboring countries might have the same aircraft types. India has SU-27s. Australia is contemplating getting Russian SUs also. It increases doubt of a friendly fire incident if you fire BVR. So the defense forum stated that in reality, unless you are the nutty Chinese or Russian empires and don't care about friendly fire incidents ("the whole is more important than the individual") ...it just won't happen in reality very much. So we are back to visual range rules in most cases in present and future combat. Just a thought.

Wow, what an achievement! It is beautiful!

Thanks for suggestions!

F9F Panther cockpit almost finished-based on the Thirdwire scooter cockpit.

Nice, I've always liked this sim!

Version 2.0- Added eight round amber and red warning lights to the vertical windscreen braces as per photos.

Yikes That's nice!!!

Thanks, I remember well reading those in Tours!

Thanks Mk 2! This site is literally one of the wonders of the Internet!

Thanks! I lived in Paris for a year and fell in love with the Dassault aircraft family. When training in French in the United States, one of our required courses, was to listen every night to French audio tapes about an espionionage story about Dassault fighters and factories...and then we read the French aircraft series Tanguy et Laverdure...high times!

I just did my part...and added a new cockpit!

It's released now. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6890 Final release photo

Dassault Super Mystere B.2 cockpit early-to-mid series production version almost ready. This is based on CA_Starys beautiful cockpit with his kind permission. It is taken from three color photos, has tremendous detail and includes the more normal earlier black artificial horizon. It has a working round afterburner indicator lamp. In many ways, it was an evolutionary cockpit derived from the Mystere IV cockpit. It was France's equivalent of the supersonic F-100 Super Sabre, but smaller. The Super Mystere saw much combat with the Israelis. The aircraft saw action in the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. They reportedly shot down two Mig-21s as well as least five other Arab aircraft.
