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 :(

Not sure about tonkas but, on Harrier if the mfcds weren't working then the hud will be off too as it just a mirror of data sent through the mfcds. Normally you will just lose one system such as the tad or tgp page rather than the whole mfcd, if your air data computer was hit and u/s you would lose all flight info but the display and Hudson would still output what it has available, plus a load of cautions and other issues!

I've seen Harrier mpcds drop out due to one pin in a plug not fitted correctly, it doesn't take much to mess up display units

I think green line tape deserves a special mention, on behalf of the dog lovers ;)

I seem to remember GG (prepared to be corrected!) mentioning once that they were trialed but never put into service with the A10?

Does this on BS when you approach a farp doesnt it?

Fly past pics from the last day of flying, cant figure out how to add thumnails to forum :) http://picasaweb.google.com/Rob.Munro81/HarrierFormation?feat=directlink

has anyone tried playing with the lua files on A10C to allow it as a loadout? You could let aircraft use sniper on BS but dont know how it would work with a player aircraft!

UK saves 1 billion by scrapping Harrier, would have saved 7 billion by scrapping Tornado. There is no point in not building the new carriers as it will cost more to get out of the contract than it will to build them. UK needs F35 as a Harrier and Tornado replacement. There is no Nimrods with an air worthiness certificate, wont see them fly again. Same with Harrier, BAE were hoping to keep a few flying to use as demos for prospective buyers but that's been put to an end with no worthiness cert. All the flyers are being stripped down ready for road move and storage.

Enjoyed a bit of Mountain Divide yesterday! Good work! :)

Most Falcon users might like the idea of a dynamic campaign more

How does the WH flying controls function in RL? Are you rods/cables directly to actuators? Do they use hyd servos to give the curves?

You can have all kinds of funny shaped bellcranks and pulleys that give the control surface whatever range is required by the designers. Quite often you will find an aileron goes down further than it goes up, using the same amount of stick input.

Where abouts you at mate? I'm in Oakham. Rutland will never sound the same again!

Strangely enough if it was upto the head of the army we would be buying super tucanos from Brazil to use for gcas... Its a massive loss and pilot and engineering skill and experience. Its a fairly basic jet but the bits that allow it to hover take some getting your head round coming from conventional fast jets.

I think they were suppose to be flying over Lincoln cathedral? The sound of the four of them winding down together was pretty eerie We still managed to make plenty of noise today with a bit of tie down action ;)
