More virtual concrete to pour for you

We have two values int he data for external (drop) tanks: Mass= - the total weight of the tank itself and the fuel content MaxFuelAmount= - the fuel content in kg There are still many droptanks around which have a Mass value less than the MaxFuelAmount - thats an error. If the weight of the empty tank is not known, then a rule of thumb is to assume 10% of the fuel content for the weight of the empty tank.

Appendix 4 is the interesting part of the "Ault report" :)

Un F1 muy temprano para SFP1, lo recuerdo bien. Intente ajustar el valor del diámetro de la rueda para solucionar el problema de alineación.

Yes. A 2nd Fw 190 D-11, "Red 2" Eduard.com reference pdf Plus more of yet unknown type, Red 7, no photo evidence yet.

HOTAS layout-wise, its a change from F-16C to F-15 MSIP / F-15E.

I have added the AIM-7E series and the AIM-7F. Basic edits for AIM-120A to C-5.

Still have 14A pit max backed up somewhere, and Ive also sent it back to ToS some time ago (years..). He had planned to make a D pit (and/or B Sparrowhawk?), iirc.

SDE2

It was one prototype with Gardenya ECM, and the other prototype was with SPO-15 RWR (project rejected by the RuAF) and that evolved into the enhanced project of MLA to MLD upgrade.

pix!

According to Russian sources/photos the radio altimeter is "Reper-M" ("N" is probably another case of Letter mis-ID) on the ML series. Two prototypes with internal ECM, the MiG-23MLDG with Gardenya jammer and one other.

They need a new carrier for the big jet

Re: helos and tail rotor damage - it is probably caused by the overall layout of helos and the associated damage boxes. With the heat-emitting engines in the high center the missile could pass through the tail/tail rotor damage box. The DamageRating assigned to the tail rotor Component is important in this case, with "Destroyed" the helo should go down (?) I also remember that some (older) helo dates (e.g. Marcfighters Mi-8) have damage box configs which put them offset from the 3d.

I have this in my notes for altimeters, posted by another CA member some time ago

" ValueUnit=MPS " - MPS is not a valid entry. MPS (meters per second) is in fact the default Unit for vertical velocity if no ValueUnit= is specified. Value Units from the ObjectData dll: KG METERS FEET FT YARDS MILES NM KM FPS KMPH MPH KNOTS LB FPM DEG

"Reper-N" is the radio-altimeter. Antennas are mounted in two bulges under the fuselage, at the rear where the leading edge of the ventral fin begins. I do not have the new edition of the Y.Gordon book, but when it really contains such basic errors.. uh oh

I better stock up on CBU, ARMs and ECM... and Weasels.. must.. have.. Weasel!!!

Found the pics in the Life mag archive some years ago. Probably hand-outs for the press. The three HUD pics, two of them were scanned/filed away upside down. MiG-23 pics are not directly related to the 1989 HUD camera pics.

More on the J/N/P variants AIM-9J (original version), 1970-1983 (approx. date of conversions finished) AIM-9J-1 (original version, USAF improved variant introduced in 1977, then renamed to AIM-9P in 1978 Will only be available as AIM-9P in game, from 1977 (I try to simplify as much as possible..) AIM-9J-1 (new version) from 1979 with new optical fuze AIM-9J-2 new upgraded version with SR116 motor and old influence fuze AIM-9J-3 new upgraded version with SR116 motor and optical fuze I set the start date for them to 1980, thats about the time when supplies the new components became available The availability of the new motor and fuze lead to a complete new set of new and upgraded J/N/P missile variants. Existing stocks of AIM-9J could be upgraded to AIM-9N (Danemark N-2, Belgium N-3, more for other NATO members (Spain)). The 9N has the same variants like the new 9J series, but the Guidance and Control Unit (GCU) was updated with all solid-state electronics. That made it better than the 9J GCU, but still not as good as the all-new 9P GCU. The new-production 9P series - again same variants as 9J/N, with the additional AIM-9P-4 with all-aspect capability and improved seeker range(1986), and the AIM-9P-5 with a further improved GCU/seeker for better range/guidance(1989). P-4/P-5 are the only versions with the electronics for SEAM mode and seeker look angle feedback. All E/J/N/P series GCU's have electric-powered cooling, P-4/5 inclusive. To be continued.. EDIT
