More photos from digging for MiGs https://aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/fighter/mig25/pics03.shtml

The probably widely-known photos of the dug-up MiG-25 are of the 25107 https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/138759/american-forces-unearth-hidden-aircraft-in-iraq/

Walnut ...

thats interestng The indications are indeed different. The aircraft symbol is rotating to indicate the bank angle/roll. While the horizon in the background rolls up/down to indicate the pitch against the aircraft symbol. Mago's MiG-21/29 cockpits have the coorect setup for this decades

The TW Lightnings introduced functions for instrument directions to the selected waypoint. Interested modders should have a look in the Lightning's cockpit ini files

Used in TW F-4 cockpits Radar-guided missile selected and radar mode = boresight/ACM results in "Interlock Out" switch indication. IRL function: missile can be fired by overriding certain Fire Control System checks (like ASE dot position, closing speed limits etc) which would inhibit the launch

Good work

Really

Furthermore, the WEAPON_SHOOT_CUE function is also "tied" to the weapons max launch G value. If there is too much G on the ac = no cue The shoot cue can be hidden with other function types to have the cue displayed for certain weapons only ~

The 30 mil 60° segments centered vertically - heres how Im interpreting the description: - remove red-marke dlines - add the 2 orange-marked segments, for 30 mil they are positioned halfway between the pipper and the outer 60 mil circle each segment covers a 60° arc Regarding colors: some sights installed in night fighters have had a red-colored filter. Another method was to turn the filament lighting way down for a very faint illumination of the reticle.

This F-105D (stock TW ac ) sight mod I made some years ago has revised sight settings for gun/bomb/rockets. For dive bombing from 12k ft .. iirc. Rocket settings - I dont remember anymore. Sight reticle has accurate shape

See also The depression values need to be adjusted for the specific aircraft type and are generally valid for one delivery profile only

Yep no function for it in SF2, and podded ECM isnt functioning for AI planes anyway.

Block 10 - check tailplane size, the enlarged version that came with Block 15 has more area on the leading edge too and not only the bigger trailing edge This (large-area leading edge) is wrong on the TW F-16A, iirc - fuselage pylon, there are two - 1 for tank/bombs, a shorter and shallower pylon for ECM pods (missing on all F-16's iirc) - wing weapons pylons - only 1 type (size/shape) for all 4 wing positions (the short one on the model is correct) The longer pylon presently on the innermost position is for large 600 370 Gal tanks - both tank and pylon are jettisoned as one unit EDIT large 600 Gal tanks have their own pylon, its a export F-16C thing - Block 10/15 have only the 2 rearmost C/F dispeners, not the 2 extra on the LH side

IIRC the TMF ac have the wingtip launchers OK but the wing launchers are at 0 angle.. dont know about the wing pylons (tanks/bombs) And the 370 Gal tanks should have their own integral pylons

You missed an uncountable number of new helo models

But its good to see you again kreelin !

"Fox 3" is the old teminology for "firing guns", from the time before active homing missiles entered service.

Happens when the Hurricane hits the paint shop - a big mess

Good place for research: https://www.sipri.org/databases/armstransfers The data is not 100% accurate but gives a very good overview.

AIM-9B was still the "export standard" item back then. AIM-9E and AIM-9J (the original variant, often offered as rebuild/upgrade of B and E) for few customers. E.g. Iran got E and J, Saudi Arabia as well.
