I can't get the Bombardier view. It says press the H /Hook key, but it's no joy. 

So has anyone actually got the Bombardier view to work?

If you land as per the Flight Manual,  with main gear touching first, slightly nose up so front wheel is raised off deck , cutting power before last few feet, it will trap with old settings.

You need to add LP to this line in the DATA FILE

[CenterLinePyl]

AllowedWeaponClass=FT,EP,RCN,NUC,LP

Then you can load Pave Spike to see what your Paveway is targeting.

Thanks

Is there any way of you being able to flip between the four variations of RDR and RWR whilst sat in the cockpit? I have tailored RDR and RWR pop-ups for different aircraft, but I have to remember to select the right one in the file system before I fly. It would be really neat to be able to press a key and cycle through the various version whilst flying, or from the opening menus.

Actually, that looks like the cockpit I'm using in the B-1B. I'm sure it came with the B-1B. Terrific cockpit anyway.

This is one of those things that you think is too good to be true. But it is true. It is astonishing.

I copied the WOV that I had on an XP computer and pasted the whole folder onto a Win10 computer. It ran in XP compatible mode at 20 fps with medium graphics and no cockpit. 9.5 fps with cockpit.

So I downloaded the file specified in this tutorial and just did part A. With everything in graphics turned up to maximum unlimited, mirrors and all, the fps was flashing at 58 because it couldn't show any higher figures.

I'm waiting for something to go wrong.

This is amazing.

It's a terrific visual model. Lights and meatball a real bonus. But the deck aircraft drop the frame rate hugely. I would also like to know how to remove them for greater frame-rates.

Excellent models. But has anyone figured how to get the C model GunPod to work yet?

This terrain is absolutely breathtaking to fly. However, I have flown from at least one airbase that is in a forest and the runway is covered in trees. Would you like me to note the name of the airbase next time it happens, just in case you wish to update later?

Sight Depression should be 40, not 50.

Now the bombs go where the pipper sits, with either Freefall or retarded bombs.

Bomb run is 1000ft, 66% throttle (around 600Kts)

That darn Gunsight has two entries in the B-1B data, one of which wasn't there. It's hidden away where you don't think to look, so if it's missing, you're up that creek sans paddle.

Anyway, I got that working, and I can now deliver bombs using CCIP and get good accuracy.

Radar is fine. You have AA, which is warning only, since you have no AA weaps; and you have AG, which is pretty, but actually doesn't do anything really.

I've been delivering bombs from 2000 ft. Mission profile is supposed to be 200, but until I get some damper figures (please bop1701), I am not going there.

Big question: when I do a single mission, why are there 20 other B-1s flying with me? And how do I limit that?

I'm used to flying Intruders: You know, alone, unarmed, and a teeny bit frightened. And I'd like to fly solo missions, or wingman only.

Did I mention it's a gorgeous plane?

You have to watch the bomb-bay doors open and reveal the payload; you have to watch the gear fold away; and you just have to love the way that radar screen folds out from the cockpit panel.

Sheer genius. xx

Anyway, love some advice.

I'd like to know what figures you used for pitch and roll damping, because it does behave a little like a Cessna.

But what a beautiful aircraft, and such a fantastic cockpit.

I love it and intend to get to know it better.

The lack of radar is down to the fact that it uses 70dll avionics, which are very different to the old 60dll avionics.

For instance it doesn't recognise "Ground Mapping"; it now expects to see "GM".

I tinkered about a bit today and got the radar working; and included a HUD which is to my taste but not everyone else's.

The TV works for GBUs.

I'm just in the throes of depression, because although the bomb fall line works, the bomb sight isn't showing, and I need to experiment with the bomb sight depression.

That's as good as it's going to get today, folks.

Most of the information on how to fix the avionics is in the knowledge base, but I feel that the knowledge base is a little long in the tooth now, and needs an update.

And since everyone else seems to be on SF2, I don't expect that will happen.

But we can try...
