The RAF Harriers GR.3 that operated in the Falklands conflict had major issues with getting thier Inertial Navigation Systems to align and as a result their navigation and attack systems would not function correctly. More often than not they had to fly their missions by compass, stopwatch and a map. And just the back up manual aiming system displayed on the HUD. They called it the revisionary sight and it is fixed but the horizontal arm of the cross could be manually depressed. This information can be found in books written by RAF GR.3 pilots about the conflict. I have recreated that here from my research on what it looked like. It makes using the GR.3 in the game much more challenging as without the CCIP on the HUD you have to manually dive bomb with the fixed revisionary sight. I have set it up so the horizontal arm of the cross will depress automatically based on the selected weapon. The position is based on the tactical dive bomb profile that needs to be used. There is also no moving map without the Nav/ Attack system. HUD Nav mode: Basic flight data and no navigation/ waypoint/ heading information. HUD Air-to-Air mode: De-cluttered with fixed revisionary sight only. HUD Air-to-Ground mode: Basic flight data and fixed revisionary sight only with horizontal arm adjusted based on selected weapon. No moving map at all.

One of them (can't remember which) is linked to the air-to-ground gunsight. Why, I have no idea but it does.

Try this: GunBoresightAngle=-3.5 In the [FlightControl] section of the data_XXX.ini And if you have a HUD: GunBoresightAngle=-3.5 In the [HUD] section of the avionics_XXX.ini

My understanding is IRST systems don't necessarily display an IR image but show azimuth and altitude (no range) of a detected target on the Radar scope. Can be used to cue the radar range gate to sweep out in a narrow beam towards it from range 0 until lock on.

I haven't touched it since it was released and I'm sure it could benefit with some updating from the recent amazing Phantom releases we have seen lately: https://combatace.com/files/file/13512-israeli-aerospace-industries-iai-f-4e-kurnass-super-phantom-2000-for-strike-fighters-2/

I have an "air to air template" single mission saved that puts 2 groups of aircraft into a neutral merge at 15,000 feet. All AI ability settings are equal etc and there are no SAM/ AAA. The AI group has 10 aircraft and the player controlled group had 12. This allowes you to order your single wingman to return to base (after you time compress to the merge), then order the squadron to engage air targets and eject yourself before the merge. I then speed up time until all the fighting is over and then end the mission. The kill to loss ratio (minus the loss of yourself from ejecting) gives a good DACT simulation of one aircraft type against another. You have to remove your wingman as his AI doesn't behave like the rest of the AI aircraft after you eject. And aircraft without an internal gun need a 'gun pod only' loadout. I have a variation with a greater distance after the time compression to the merge to run simulations of BVR engagements as well. I use the same steps as above to ensure it is an even AI v AI match with only the aircraft/ weapon systems being different.

I agree and find I fight with the D more successfully for the same reasons. Sometimes I think the slatted E seems to dump a ton of airspeed/ energy when you pull sharply into the vertical and the slats deploy. Same during the initial higher speed turns during a turning fight.

Try "LookAroundChance=0.0" and see if that helps? Currently it is 10.0 It is under: [Mortar] SystemType=GUNNER .......

Ahh just noticed the fin flash on the No. 14 Squadron 'Middle East Airforce' starboard vertical stabilizer is back to front lol

Idea for some 'what if' aircraft/ skins: the Israeli Air Force in the 1973 Yom Kippur war without ever receiving US export aircraft. France continued to be the primary aircraft and arms supplier to Israel. That being said the IAI Nesher would never have been invented/ produced as the Israeli Mirage 5J order was never embargoed by France. I imagine an order for Mirage 50 in the early 70's might have been highly likely? It's to early for any Mirage F1 to be in service. So by 1973 the IAF would have still been a primary Mirage 3/5/10 fighter/ attack force. How would these aircraft have performed against the SAM and sophisticated air defense network in place by the Arab nations? Any other good educated guesses guys?

Sounds like there are going to be some ex RAF Tranche 1 FGR4 Typhoons going cheap in the next few years.....

I'm interested in what the problem was for. Years ago I had the same problem but how I fixed it other than my previous suggestion to you I can't remember.

You can't move them if they are part of the aircraft lod

This is looking amazing and really imersuve! Looking forward to it

Level of tint depends on the time frame and/ or block number. All two seater models only have the front half of the canopy tinted. Some A/C models have all of the canopy or just the main front part.
