Anyone off here going? Cant wait, counting down the days!

Ah the famous operationally proven and legendary F-35B, good choice! ;) Maybe in 40 years when it finally enters service.

They may well do, trainee RAF pilots always insist they fly jets aswell but I cant find it in myself to describe the Tucano as a jet regardless of what type of engine it has.

Things with spinny bits strapped to the front of engines dont count as jets :p

Is there any other planes that get a closer merger to helo? Oh no thats right... :) The systems would be fun, nozzle control, always close to your JPT limit, duct pressure, hover performance, water flow/content, sniper, brimstone, carrier ops... etc

How about the Carbon Fibre Death Provider like in your avatar :)

Perhaps ED could supply him with one as he is helping and furthering the community/game ;)

Ive got a basic Android app working, gives basic info nothing like these ios ones so far though! Ill post some screenies when I get a layout that isnt all over the place :)

GG does the damage model decrease with distance from impact or is it simply a set amount of damage within a set sphere?

Harrier is similar you need to manually drain it, screwdriver and rags around your arm.

Most jets I've worked on will sit at idle until certain temp is reached, its like cooling your Turbo on a car before shutting down, otherwise you will get tons of heat soak. Prop planes often give it a quick blast before shut down to get some cool air down the engine (grove tutor and tucano anyway).

Im on early evening usually but I work shifts so gets a bit random sometimes.

your an old fart.. :P

Ive been working on an Android version of something like this for a few weeks ;)

That's because the tonkas are always u/s! :)

The Spanish, Indians or Yanks might buy up the Gr9s yet.

Fuel pumps

F4 had a dynamic campaign that was pretty cool, when it worked! Hint hint cough cough

probably why I cant hit anything with gbus! haha

Carbon Fibre Death Provider! Harrier would be mint :) a TM Harrier would have a quality throttle, lots of levers :)

Explained better than I ever could!

Remember that a Maverick is a pretty expensive piece of kit, carrying 6 is an expensive load! Its much more cost effective to drop a bomb on a tank when there is no AA threat. Its a shame in missions you cant limit the amount of weapons, I liked that in the F4 campaigns.

Im working on something like this for Android phones and tablets. Nothing too fancy but has all radio frequencies and the likes for easy access.

Come in from behind them at a nice angle, I think the damage model is basically hit points rather than a dynamic thing so unfortunately you cant get lucky and hit some ammo in the tank :( I think in RL against convoys A10's would use the wingman and make a couple of runs each from different angles so not to attract all the return fire. I'm pretty sure short bursts from 2 miles will keep you fairly safe.

I dont get run time errors but I dont get range or bearing info either as a client :(
