I was talking to USAFMTL about this briefly, and here's some more info:

Linka

In 1961, two A4D-2 Skyhawks (BuNos 148490 and 148483) were borrowed by the U.S. Army and modified by Douglas for evaluation in competition with the Northrop N-156 (predecessor of the F-5) and an Italian Fiat G-91, for operations from unimproved airfieds near front lines. Modificatons of the Army Skyhawk included large dual wheels on beefed-up main landing gear mounts; a heavier wing to house the larger landing gear; and installation of an A-3 Skywarrior drag chute. Flown by Douglas test pilot Dru Wood, the modified "Army" Skyhawk won the competition, but the project was cancelled when Army funds were diverted to helicopter procurment.

-----------

The N-156 was very well liked, and when it lost the competition, the N-156 aircraft was rebuilt into the YF-5A prototype.

----------

The Army also sent two pilots to the Tripartite testing program when the original Harrier Prototype was sent over here (the XV-6), and was interested in it; but the USAF blocked any further interest.

Bump on this.

Did you ever get my PM NGHENGO?

Any progress on this project? I have the urge to fly at FL90 and M3.0 over north vietnam

Stuart Slade:

The published figures for the B-70 are for AV-1, the first prototype, This had structural deficiencies and lower-powered engines that restricted it to mach 3.1 and 77,500 feet. AV-2 had more thrust and the fully-developed structure that gave it Mach 3.3 and 85,000 feet - only it was lost in an accident before it could be properly tested. AV-3 was the full-scale development prototype that would have been capable of the designed performance , Mach 3.4 and 90,000 feet plus. That's just about the limits by the way, no aircraft with conventional jets is going to exceed those limits.

I modified the stock campaigns which came with WoE to allow me to fly soviet and warsaw pact hardware, and I have to say it's quite fun flying a Su-7BM loaded with tons of bombs against the evil capitalist oppressors.

So I was wondering if anyone ever had the idea of a WP counterpart to NATO Fighters...

This is from The Manned Missile: The Story of the B-70 by Ed Reiss, published in 1960:

Finally White calls the Los Angeles Tower: "B-70, Zero Zero One, is ready to taxi." The tower clears him to Runway 22L. White releases his brakes.

 

To the white-coated ground crew from which the B-70 is taxiing, the plane is anything but a quiet cockpit full of instrumented nerve endings. It is a monster and a weakling, changing whimsically—and dangerously—from one to the other with the quickness of a suddenly sprung hydraulic leak or a short circuit in an electrical system. Now it is a monster, strong and awesome as its roar pounds into their stomachs and its foul breath fills the area with the stench of burned kerosene. In a moment, as the plane moves toward the runway and becomes smaller and its roar diminishes, the men feel a large emptiness. The great and beautiful bird they had worked on for so many months is no longer there; its concrete nest is bare. A strange and compelling feeling comes over these men. They know it was just an airplane that left them, but it seems like something more than metal. White taxis carefully. He feels as though he is sitting on the end of a giant steel spring; his gear is fully sixty feet behind him and three stories below, and each bump flexes him up and down gently but grossly. As he turns from one taxi strip to another he swings his cockpit well beyond the turn intersection and when he is sixty feet beyond, he swings the plane around. Now lined up on the runway, looking down the wide ribbon of concrete, White secures his brakes. He activates the automatic trim-for-take-off system, which positions his airfoils for maximum lift. Now he moves his throttles full forward-beyond the white line marked "minimum afterburner" to "maximum afterburner." The plane must go now: the brakes will not hold it and White releases them. The giant bird lurches forward as though startled by the fire in its tail and it begins to roll down the runway, slowly at first but with the impression of great speed. White watches his acceleration clock: in thirty seconds he must have a ground speed of 150 knots or his engines are not putting out full thrust of 180,000 pounds. "Clock's okay," says his copilot, and White next cornes up on the go-no-go point. This is the critical point in a jet take-off where the pre-computed equation of speed, distance, weight, runway temperature, and thrust says with mathematical certainty whether the plane will get off the ground before it runs out of runway. This is the point of safe abort, the moment when the pilot makes his biggest decision.

 

White now is flying only his cockpit, not the massive plane behind him or the billion-dollar program which is the biggest ever in United States air technology and the defense hope of the next decade. His world is reduced to the simplicity and the immediacy of one decision. One instrument tells him to go and six engines with one third the horsepower output of the Hoover Dam insist.

 

White rotates the nose slightly to ease the great stress on the nose wheel. White does not want to leave the ground yet: he wants to build up overspeed in case he loses an engine. At 150 knots he pulls back gently on his stick, increasing the wing's angle of attack to the air and giving it lift like a giant kite. He feels a slight rumble in the landing gear but he does not know whether this is low-speed gear vibration or runway vibration; he cannot be sure whether air or concrete is beneath his wheels. Soon the plane tells him; it lifts him off sharply. White must move quickly. The plane is accelerating at a tremendous rate and he must get the slow-cycling gear up before he exceeds the speed where the air flow would rip it off. He is barely off the runway and already his air speed is more than 250 knots. Now White reaches for sky; he pulls his stick way back to angle the plane on a sharp flight trajectory. Five minutes from the time he released his brakes he is at 25,000 feet. Now he trims the plane for real high-speed, high-altitude flight. Then powering himself into a 25,000-foot-per-minute climb he is soon up to 80,000 feet. He levels off in the strange, hostile, lifeless exosphere at the very threshold of space. Wisps of nacreous clouds hang above. Few men have been in this realm and those who have sometimes speak of the depression they felt when they reached it and looked down and saw geography instead of terrain, a flooring of one color and without contour. This is called the "breakaway phenomenon" by flight surgeons who believe it is the reaction to one of man's most deep-seated instincts, his atavistic fear of losing close touch with the only environment he has ever known.

 

White and his crewmen—copilot, offensive warfare officer, and defensive warfare officer—are alone at a frontier that can be found only fifteen miles from supermarkets and hospitals, schools and playgrounds. It is the nearest frontier to his doorstep, and the last one man is challenging.

 

The reason why this is so is not too obvious. The other frontiers could be conquered by uncommonly courageous men using relatively primitive equipment: skilled skippers navigated the oceans of the world in wooden sailing ships not much larger than the lifeboats of today's ocean liners; stubbornly persistent Forty-niners crossed the great prairies and the Rockies in rugged Conestoga wagons; Lindbergh spanned the Atlantic air in a Ryan monoplane less powerful than prewar automobiles; and Tenzing and Hillary conquered Everest with bottled oxygen and efficient personal gear. It was the men primarily, not the equipment, that achieved these milestones.

 

But the frontier which the B-70 is approaching, not the frontier of altitude but the frontier of the thermal barrier —the meteor-killing atmospheric oven—requires the most advanced technology and highest skills yet developed. Break-throughs in a dozen dark arts were needed so that engineers and scientists could think beyond and, eventually, Al White could go beyond the current "envelope of knowledge" and advance man to a new plateau of technical understanding and achievement. Raw, unyielding courage by Al White would gain little against this frontier. What was required, in addition to this courage, was the biggest single technical jump the aviation art has yet produced. What the Conestoga and sailing bark were to the frontiers of their day, the B-70 is to the frontier of its day.

 

Zero Zero One sits high above the earth, its wings resting on 95 per cent of its atmosphere. The thin air is as smooth as a poet's sea, and the mother-of-pearl cloud wisps are motionless. The morning sky above is weirdly dark, as wine-dark as the ocean of the ancients. And the patient stars shine. Looking out 350 miles to the hazy horizon, White can see Baja California and the Gulf of California to one side and Oakland Bay on the other. The sinuous shore line of California joins the two. The cockpit is dark and the sun's light does not fall in rays. There are no sunbeams in dust-free space; where the light hits directly there is brightness, but in the shadows there is darkness. It is so dark that the instrument panel must be lighted at all times. The cockpit is not quiet; there is a rumble from the ram effect of Mach Three flight. It is a rumble never heard by pilots before. The outside air is minus 70 degrees F, but it is not fresh air. The content of toxic ozone ranges from two to twenty parts in a million parts of air—many times greater than the amount that produces Los Angeles' acid smog.

 

The B-70 feels like any other large jet airplane, smells like all others with its sharp odor of metal and oil and electricity. To Pilot White the plane handles like other high-performance aircraft: it is alert and sensitive and powerful—perhaps a little more than others. But this is a different airplane, different in every important way. First off, it is different in performance—not merely better but different. From this spot in the California skies White could fly to New York in an hour and a half, to London in two and three quarters hours, to Karachi in three and a half hours, to Moscow in three hours. He would cruise at Mach Three, 2,000 mph all the way, and at altitudes between 80,000 and 100,000 feet. And he would do so weighing more than half a million pounds at take-off.

You can buy the flight manual online, I could try doing that and help you out with the FM.

Keep in mind this was a very hot rod aircraft. Combat loaded, it had a climb rate of 24,000+ feet per minute at full afterburner, meaning that you'd be at cruising altitude (75,000 feet) in about maybe 5 minutes, and from there on, you would cruise to the target at Mach 3. Please note, I say "cruise", as in the B-70's specific fuel consumption was actually a bit lower than the B-52s, despite it flying at Mach 3.

Apparently the -70 had a zoom climb capability to around 100,000 feet or higher, and could if you pushed the throttles up from cruise to max power, could get up to about Mach 3.4

Last year, I went to the US Navy Yard's Naval Historical Center, and scanned in about half the SACs they had available there.

What are SACs? Basically a couple of pages with each aircraft's performance data on them, intended to help in planning. Not as detailed or as intensive as the flight manuals issued to pilots, but good enough for our purposes.

I've included the HTML addy as a GIF in this post, since the forum won't let me link directly to the address.

Lets say you wanted to open the front bomb bay.

Both doors would slide back to reveal the front bomb bay (because they're on the same roller set)

If you wanted to open the rear bomb bay...

only the rear door would slide back to reveal the rear bomb bay.

mmm, the development as a weapon system ended in 1959, so who knows what could or would have been eventually fielded. I wouldn't worry much about modelling fancy stuff -- just a simple bombay is fine opening doors

The B-70's Bomb bay was sort of strange. It was one bomb bay divided into two.

From Jenkin's Valkyrie:

Although often described as a single 29-foot long weapons bay, there were in reality two separate 14-foot-long bays covered by a shared set of doors. The combined bay extended from FS1356 to FS1704. Using a pair of sliding doors on a single set of tracks instead of the usual outward-opening snap-action doors solved the problem of opening the weapons bay doors at very high speeds. The length of the track permitted only one door to be opened at a time. Moving both doors aft opened the forward 14 feet of the bay; moving only the aft door opened the rear 14 feet of the bay; the center 1 foot was unusable since the doors never cleared the area. This also meant that weapons longer than about 13 feet could not be carried by the B-70. In the closed position, the leading edge of the forward door was held tight against the step fairing of the fuselage by two interconnected hooks that engaged the fuselage structure. The aft door was locked to the forward door in a similar manner. It should be noted that the weapons bay doors on A/V-1 and A/V-2 were not powered and could not be opened in flight. The forward weapons bay contained the flight test instrumentation package while the aft weapons bay contained the air inlet control system equipment. A/V-3 would have had powered doors, as well as suspension and release equipment in the rear portion of the weapons bay for a single type of weapon for demonstration purposes.1

The weapons bay was sized to house a variety of bombs, including thermonuclear devices up to 10,000 pounds each, 20,000-pound conventional bombs, various smaller conventional bombs, chemical and biologial weapons, or up to two new air-to-ground missiles. The missiles were to have a range of 300 to 700 nautical miles and an accuracy of less than a mile; conceptually these missiles were much like the later AGM-69A SRAM. Other missiles (probably Douglas GAM-87 Skybolts) were to be carried on external hard points under the wings, along with additional fuel in external drop tanks.

A few SRAMs or maybe ALCMs, that would be sort of right for the era would it not? (if the B-70 had ever gone into production).

Skybolt ALBMs, SRAM-like missiles, and Pye Wacket Lenticular Defense Missiles...

Don't forget that the flight model needs to be right!

Mach 3 Cruise at 75,000 to 80,000 feet, with the ship stressed to 3+ Gs.

They're for GCB, but I can give them to someone when I'm done for them to be adapted into WOE/WOV/Whatever.

Completed Oliver Hazard Perry FFG

CG-47; I've done both VLS and Mk 26 versions

Albany Class CG in the working stages.

My want list in order of wantyness:

Su-24 (The Soviet F-111)

XF-108 Rapier

XB-70 Valkyrie

Avro Arrow

TSR.2

Weapons:

The Special Conventional weapons pod for the B-58 which was killed by McNamara. Basically, in the place where the Nuke was; there was to be a conventional rotary launcher capable of holding bombs, rockets, missiles, etc.

The new opening screen for the campaign

The new Base Screen for the F-16A unit...

Okay, I've pretty much finalized the next release:

Future Objectives:

Solve the problem I'm having with the Badger-G, Blinder-B, and MFG1 and MFG2 not seeing ships and attacking them.

I'm trying something new out; making base campaign screens for each type of aircraft you can fly in the campaign:

F-16A-10 Flightline

F-15A Flightline

MiG-27 Flightline

So instead of seeing the dull old blurry 3D terrain with F-105s lining up for take off, you'll see this before each mission as the clock typewrites on....

I've standardized the naming for this; so it shouldn't be hard for others to add their own:

Soviet_MiG-27_Flightline.bmp

German_F-4F_Flightline.bmp

USAF_F-15A_Flightline.bmp

etc.

I created the images using a special mission I made based off one I found in a "Static aircraft" download.

Cool.

 

I mayt have to get this one, as I added the "A" model Falcon as well.

 

It rocks in the WoE ToO...

 

The F-16A-10 is really basically a MiG-21 or English Electric Lightning, except that it's really really manuverable and with a CCIP HUD which makes air to air combat with the gun actually deadly efficient.

My first Air to air mission with the -16A, I get behind a MiG-27 manuver the gunsight pipper onto him, and let loose a short burst.......which hits him dead center, and he goes down in flames.....and this is on "hard" weapons delivery.

At that point I went

"Holy Sh!t! The HUD actually works!"

Now, you before y'all start the lynch mob over my decision to liken the -16A to the EE Lightning and the MiG-21; lets consider the facts:

1.) The MiG-21 and EE Lightning have crap radars; the radar emitter size is limited by the air intake splitter; so they're very prone to jamming, etc. As shipped, the A model's radar was very anemic.

2.) As shipped, the F-16A/B was the pure "fighter mafia" aircraft. It was basically a daylight-only aircraft which could only fire AIM-9 Sidewinders, or deliver general loads of iron bombs. The radar was really more for helping the pilot find his target in slightly inclement/cloudy conditions, and for helping the fighter's computer do the calculations and ranging for the Gunsight pipper, etc.

It was the C model which really turned the F-16 into a truly awesome fighter, something the "Fighter Mafia" Boydists bemoaned and bitched about:

"The F-16A's superb turning circle and manuverability has gone to crap since the USAF added so much weight to it for the C model!"

Nevermind that actually adding a radar that was worth SOMETHING, and the capability to fire the AIM-7, as well as lug around precision munitions, made the F-16 into something more than just a daylight-only fighter.

Well, seeing that 122 people have downloaded it; and I never can rest; I've been working on the next version of it:

-727 TBAP for Soviets made playable and flies the Tu-22K BLINDER

-Added Soviet Naval Aviation Regiments flying the Tu-16G BADGER from Kolobrzeg Airbase in Poland.

-Added Royal Netherlands Air Force with one F-104G Squadron, and one F-16A detachment flying from two new airbases. The F-16A Detachment is very small and chronically short in supply.

Been trying to mod a F-104G to carry it for ASM strikes, like the German marineflieger did; I've checked the mass of the weapon station, and the attachment type; but I can't figure out which "AllowedWeaponClass" the Kormorant is...

I've checked it in the weapon and gun editor, and it says its "Inertially homing", which I can't find the allowedclass for; and besides, the Komorant is an Active Radar Homing ASM anyway...

Go into your FB-111A_DATA.ini file and add the following to the weapon station types:
