SOLIDKREATE

We have two of them just 25min down the road from me. We also have the only Type I Ki-43 in the entire world, and it flys.

Can't wait man ME ~~~~~>

It's not ready yet brother. It will be Soon (TM),

F-105 EWO Interview with Tom "Bear" Wilson

Added va new 'WEAPON SYSTEM' video.

No worries man, even if I dont get it until Christmas, it's cool. I have the F-4E and J-17 to learn now. I got both of those during the sale.

Sorry, just now seeing this. Yeah I can do that.

Enjoy my friends @IronMike @Grinnelli @GrinnelliDesigns

Check out 1:58 and 2:43. I think the smalle rectangle display works like an ILS. It has too it is the only thing that makes sense now. I'm actually getting very excited and happy as I type this. Check out 38:08, no f----ing way they had that back then? Take a look at 21:32 as well.

Just bumping this for any new people who have joined DCS.

Yeah mine too. I uninstalled my driver then did a fresh install. And just left everything alone.

They didn't elaborate either (the article) but I like your ideas

@Blaze1 F-105G EWO Speculation v1.1 - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YfV0-FuAQpEaUhkdXQyib-J7wM3qfgC-/view?usp=sharing (Example of change)

It probabaly is. I think they did this for future damage model updates. I'm SURE they got something good cooking.

I did describe AZ° earlier but then I thought 'Range'. I did this because what I described as the "B-Scope" already gives you AZ°. I added the faux sweep animation because just below the right side of the display it says "Sweep Rate". If it really doesn't have a sweep persay, then the dot would still have a target trail and most likely pulse with the sweep. Then the EWO just adjusts the inclination on the ANT and give the pilot course commands "Turn left", "Stop Turn", "Fly Heading Two-Three-Zero" ect. This is what I did as an EWO based off of my equipment. *ADHD side quest* - I dod remember one piece of my gear was the AN/ALR-66(???).

@Blaze1 PDF Presentation of how I think it works: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10je2By2eTCpCkbA8fPzQUmha7eR4OFJS/view?usp=sharing Based on what the scoped screen looks like (color), I changed the asthetic to what a vintage oscilloscope display. It's like a semi backlit phosphor card with lamps behind it. (EXAMPLE)

You'll see the shadow of the crosshair on the right horizonta screen is parallaxed to the white lines.

Thank you man! I'm drawing up another one right now. I saw another photo and the horizontal screen cursors dont appear to move at all. I think it is some sort of phosporecent paint that glows when the scope is lit. I think the goal is to get the signal spike in the center ring. For example if the spike is dead center, but the tip is above the center mark, we'd point the AGM-78 antenna down until it is. In addition I believe the left and right extremes of the centerline are range of that band freq. When I gte done I will make a PowerPoint and upload for everyone to see and discuss over.

So, today I just read the USAF is killing the A-10C with no replacement for a CAS aircraft. They will instead rely on the incoming F-35A, F-15EX, and far future F-47. I think, personally, the A-10 could be in the 'X' program and move to Rev 'D': New engines, CF34-10A upgraded to MILSPEC. This engine puts down 17,640lbs of thrust each. It is only 5in larger in diamter and actually (2.5in each side of the DIA), and shorter. This would allow much heavier loadouts, better fuel econmy, fast climb rates, faster speed, faster acceleration ect Longer wing span, about 1.5ft each side Bubble one peice canopy Ability to carry SiAW (derrived from AGM-88G AARGM-ER) Ability to carry AIM-9X Ability to carry new weapons like the Anduril Barracuda, and Altius PANTHR (LAD) Large Area Display 2X more hard points

Going back to my third sentence, what I mean is this: EW = EARLY WARNING, FA = FIGHTER AIRCRAFT, BA = BOMBER AIRCRAFT, SA = SURFACE TO AIR SOVIET FA - 300 ~ 350MHz NATO FA - 340 ~ 400Mhz SOVIET BA - 200 ~ 340MHz NATO BA - 170 ~ 390MHz SOVIET EW - 100 ~ 220MHz NATO EW - 120 ~ 210MHz SOVIET SA - 500 ~ 700MHz NATO SA - 550 ~ 660MHz Then our faux EPL would have this: MiG-29A - 331MHz ~ 336MHz F-16C - 347MHz ~ 366MHz SA-2 - 551MHz ~ 543MHz Just as an example and not fact. After we get your freq, we'ds try an dreac h out to you and do a MODE 4 Check. The thing is the mission maker would have to program the Cipher key when he/she makes the mission. I dont think we have this?

I think we can 'fake' it now. I beleieve if they or a MOD team scratch built new SAMs, we'd be okay. I'm sure an add-on could be made to give all the RADAR's on every plane/ground vehicle a unique frequency. Then provide a kneeboard checklist of freq's that we can classify RADAR's to. We already kind of have this with the RWR which is way more advanced in this game. I cannot speak to something like that actually existing. I never saw anything we had that just "knew" it was a friendly F-15/6/8 ect. What we did see on the indicator was 'FC' 'SR' ect. That would be 'Fire Control', 'Search RADAR'. I had to use my Mode 4 Interrogator to do that. ED does not have that modeled in here and what we have is wildly inacurrate. I like freedom so, I can't get into that. Coincidentally the PAR (Precision Approach Control RADAR) is an old Fir Control RADAR. So, we got practice with those and using our EPL book. The only other thing is that someones microwave in their house reads a an FC RADAR too LOL. For an old girl she was a powerful bird (P-3C). I know what you all see on Wikipedia, but we can carry way more exotic stuff that that. The we'd have to have some way for players to take a slot to perfomr 'M.I.J.I.' as well.

Hey Magintude! First off thank you for the module. I have a bug to report with the texture layers of your model. I think your damage model is linked to the 'Bort Numbers'. I was typing in my ID number but I made a mistake and backspaced takling away one of the numbers. This is on the export version of the F4U-1d. I have not tested yet if it is present on ours. When I did that an entire panel disappeared on both side of the plane. See images below for clarification

Yeah his was a 1992 model. Thta thing had rear wheel steering too. It's the model year I still want. The later ones I believe didnt have half the feature as the OG. Going back to the XMiters, each crystal is very unique. It's not that our equipment really knew how to do this. We had good intelligence brought to us by the CIA and boots on ground (SEALs, Rangers, ect). What do you suggest? If both models are not good, what is your solution? What brand has the best model?

Oh yeah we all knew that one. Most likely why the P-8 wwas fastracked. My instructors always said if we had another major war again, it would be with them or Iran. That was in 2000 when he told us that. Fun fact, he owned a 3000GT VR-4.
