Just came to request this. I fully agree, we just need a very basic terrain representation of the terrain south of Afghanistan so we can access the ocean for carrier ops.

People have posted pictures of their t-shirts on Discord and on Reddit. So they have started to ship them.

RF-4 full module, yes please!

How the F-104G radar worked. A nice article written by a former Norwegian Starfighter pilot. https://www.starfighter.no/radar-e.html The site also has some other nice articles to read to get the Starfighter hype up and running. https://www.starfighter.no/life331.html https://www.starfighter.no/hi-alt.html https://www.starfighter.no/dagmy-e.html

The Norwegian F-104's got ALR-46's in the end of the 70's

From what I've read from the Norwegian Starfighter operations the catamaran launchers were Mach 2 capable, while the wing pylons maxed you at Mach 1.6. And therefor the preferred way to carry the Sidewinders. At least on the QRA aircrafts. I believe all (Nato at least) users did have the catamaran launchers.

I love the G version, and nothing would make me happier, but I wouldn't mind a F-104S or ASA/M with the Sparrows either.

I've only worked with F-16's IRL, but I believe it's mostly similar in the F-4, but when the jets are on QRA duy they "pre align" the jets, so when they scramble it only has to spin up and be confirmed. This of course has to be done again if it's moved or have been stationary for so and so long.

Not sure if it's a difference between analogue and digital BIT, but I am pretty sure the speed brake is not opened by the BIT. But the pilots does a manual cycle of the speed brakes during the startup process. Just before the SEC check if I remember correctly.

I would definitely pay for a F-104G, or a F-104S.

When was this? Never saw that one. The SUU20 was out of service when I was working up there.

In the Norwegian air force. For ground ops the lights are steady when it's safe for ground personnel to approach the aircraft, flashing when it's unsafe.

Back in the days, ie. until around 2000 the Norwegian F-16s practiced short field ops every year. Usually from Stokmarknes, Skagen airport in Lofoten. Runway length just under 900m. The only other regular traffic was Twin Otters and GA. Loudouts needless to say was light, usually just the centerline tank and a pair of sidewinders I believe. I've heard early deployment of the drag chute was a common procedure.

RSVR is correct. And yes it's reservoir.

Would be nice to have a fictional 334 sqn RNoAF. They also focused on anti-ship. And the Viggen was for a short while one of the contenders as a new fighter for Norway, but we went for the F-16.
