    There is no spoon.

     

    Or to quote a certain superhero, SPOOOOOON!!!!!

     

     

     

    I'm so used to my TIR4 now after like 2 or 3 years, I forget which, that I find flying without it almost impossible. It's like having blinders on.

    Whether I'm in my kite over Verdun, or blasting Jerry over the beaches, or dueling in MiG Alley, or dropping napalm in Route VI, or fighting off Fulcrums over Seoul, or trying to get that damned Black Shark to fly in a straight line, I NEED my TIR now!!!


  3. I believe most RWR/TEWS machines have recorders so even if the crew never gets an indication in their cockpits that something is up, on return to base the techs can access that and see what happened.

    Only if the antennas are totally wrong for the freqs used would they get NOTHING.


  4. Most planes with MFDs have analog backups. They may not be in the most convenient locations, but they're there. The only exceptions I think are the very latest fighters which rely on the computers so much anyway that it hardly matters. One of those "if the MFD is gone chances are so is the rest of the plane anyway" deals. I've never seen a plane with only ONE MFD that had no backups. Those are the ones like F-35 and RAH-66 that have multiples, so even if one failed you could look at the readouts on the others.


  5. This sounds kind of like the A-10C upgrade...pretty much 100% cockpit/avionics based, things like airframe and engine are left alone. Sounds like they're achieving some economy by using the same equipment that the Jaguar and Flanker have, always appreciated by the logistics guys. :wink:

     

    I will say this though...that cockpit looks 10x better, not least for getting rid of that lousy turquoise!! :biggrin:
