Viggen

Dave's pony?

This must be a local British issue, because I've heard nothing of it in the US or even from the BBC.

Navy should have held on to the Viking. Humble aircraft could have continued in the tanker role and had a modernized ASW suite. Revive the Shadow too.

Wow. That's pretty cool. What terrain is that?

Well, I know what I'll be flying!

Looking forward to the Su-33 PFM.

Decided I would give this fun little kite a back story. By 1965, the Swedish Government had realized that Saab's upcoming fighters, the Viggen and the improved J35F Draken, would be more expensive than expected and that fewer aircraft would be able to be purchased than planned. Claiming this was unacceptable, the Flygvapnet proposed the idea of the purchase and/or licensed production of an off the shelf light fighter with acceptable performance. Although a competition was never actually conducted, the aircraft considered were the Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter, Fiat G.91, and the Dassault Épervier 1C. Crucially, the Épervier 1C contained a radar unlike the other two aircraft. The Épervier's delta wing was also a consideration, with the belief it would help with cross training to the Draken or Viggen. An initial order for 20 aircraft was made, which would be produced in France. These would be designated as the J36A Sparvhök in Flygvapnet service. The first five aircraft entered service with F11 Wing in 1966. Upon arrival in Sweden, the unpainted aircraft's avionics, including the Cyrano radar, were modified to work with Swedish weapons. Pilots and mechanics alike were pleased with the Sparvhök, and in 1968, Saab was granted a license for the production of additional aircraft. From 1971 through 1974, the surviving J36s went through a minor upgrade program, which included receiving the new splinter camouflage. Upgraded aircraft became designated J36C. The aircraft soldiered on in Sweden until 1991, when the light weight fighter was retired from combat service due to a diminishing Soviet threat. A few Sparvhöks continued to fly as adversary aircraft until 1994. There was no two seat model, as pilots would receive fast jet training in the SK 35 Draken. The Royal Danish Air Force was the only export customer, operating a handful of heavily modified J36s in the anti-shipping role from 1976 to 1988 in conjunction with their F-35 Draken force. A total of 66 aircraft were built.

The Polish and Czech squadrons in the campaign data.ini might be set to a low RandomChance. I've usually only seen them towards the end of the campaigns. Check their start dates too.

What's the point? We're gonna lose again anyway.

Looks good. I'll probably grab it when the Mirage is released.

Not buying it for a minute. If it's the same video of Tomcats escorting Bears that I saw, than that footage was while over Iran. None of the F-14s were armed. Not even carrying fuel tanks.

Received, thank you!

Anyone had any luck making a version of the Falklands terrain to serve a post June 1982 scenario? Tried my hand at it and somehow I messed up the ground textures when all I touched was the frontline, targets, and dates. I didn't touch or rename the data file so I really don't know how this happened. I'm using the Falklands terrain from the all inclusive mod as a base. I'd post screenshots of it but I'm posting from my phone because my duty place is away from internet right now. Needless to say there's a tree in the middle of Stanley's runway and HMS Invincible is sailing through ground.

Awesome! Glad to hear that the Spanish hookers are giving their escorts gunships a struggle too. You probably spent more time flying in the back of one on that single air assault than I have in three years as a mechanic on them!

I'm looking at a couple ground objects that have multiple guns, like the AAV with Marines and they're all hooked up to the same weapon system. Oddly though, the [Weapon System] entry on a couple ships I've looked at is empty. I'm gonna do more digging there, because maybe that's where we can find what you're looking for. I'd like to find a solution to this as well, because I agree, in 2015 it is a bit of an immersion killer. That and I want to finally try and be a little helpful in the community.

You guys jump out of Chinooks at all?

Bad ass. Know how it goes with the female crew chiefs.

That's why I'm hoping this is closer to release. As much as I'd like a new map, I'm skipping Nevada. Probably will do one of those desert seasonal texture conversions for Crimea until Hormuz is released.

So how long will this terrain take to become public?

Apparently the cooking and toilet thing on the Fullback has been over dramatized. It's just a water heater and the "toilet" is closer to a bedpan than anything else. And that whole being able to recline the seats thing isn't true either.

Can you add the gunner as a separate weapons system aligned to the same detection system as the actual gun?

Since you added it as a missile, would the Max/MaxPitch or Max/MinYaw have anything to do with it? They're both under [Weapon System]
