Hi gents, There is a bug in the terrain, the coordinates are in the screenshot, I think the screenshot is self-explanatory, there is kinda a wall or call it a 90°-slope in the terrain. Apologies for the quality of the picture, this is the best my rig can provide. Cheers

Fuel cut, engine shut down, activated the fire extinguisher (however i do not know if it is sumulated) and made it back to base.

uh, u mean the Hornet is on Link16 which aint available on the Tomcat?

Hi Amarok, hence there is not even a collision model for the deck crew i ll doubt that they will do it. Cheers

@WildeSau44 Hi mate, do you use TACVIEW? TACVIEW helped me alot to analyse what I was doing wrong during dogfights and helped me alot to understand the mechanics. I attached a mission where you can train a 1:1 dogfight, the F10-menu will spawn an enemy fighter on your 12 o'clock. The mission is an edit from an F15C-mission, regrettably I do not know who designed the original mission. Hope it might help you! Cheers Moose F-14B - Caucasus - 1v1 Guns.miz

@Silhou Hi Silhou that issue is still not fixed, the player's Tomcat is still spawning in a parked one. Cheers Moose

Hi Abahji, the worst emergency where i was able to save the airframe was an engine fire.

Hi gents, maybe someone could help me out. We were playing a mission, where my Tomcat got "only" Jester as RIO (however he is doing a good job for me, the team-building workouts helped alot!), we had no AWACS and only a Ground EWR. A fellow Hornet received Datalink-information from my AWG-9, however i have not received any data from his radar. I had Jester requested to use the "Tactical Datalink" and later tried "fighter2fighter". Cheers and thanks in advance!

Hi Red_Camarada, Hi AdrianL, I am too scared to ask the topdogs of this forum and molest them with a permission. And I am sure they got far better docs than i got. Below some pictures of "telephone pole"-strikes and some links, send me a message if u aint satisfied. The S-75 / SA2-missile had a huuge Frag-HE warhead of 195 kg (430 lbs). The 2-stage (solid fuel booster and a liquid fuel upper stage which burned toxic TG02-fuel) missile itself was called "flying telephone pole" by the US pilots in the Vietnam theater. It had an accuracy of 65m (210 ft), hence the huge warhead. One SA2 system could engage only one target, however the radio command guidance of the missile system had 3 channels, therefore it was possible to have 3 missiles in the air against one target. Here is a nice pic of a S-75: S-75 Dvina A Thud being hit by a V75 over Vietnam RF-4C being hit by V75 over VN Another pic (National Museum of the USAF) Here are some sources: Персональный сайт - Главная История техники ПВО,ЗРК С-25 БЕРКУТ,С-75 ДВИНА,ДЕСНА,ВОЛХОВ.С-125 НЕВА,ПЕЧОРА,С-200 АНГАРА,ВЕГА,их боевое применение.Только документы и еще чу 0710weasel.pdf Operation Spring High: Thuds vs. SAMs Jane's land-based air defence Pls let me know if my post is against the rules or if my post or parts of it are bull<profanity>. I am only a pylote, eh? Cheers

Holy cow!!!

Hi gents, according to wikipedia: "the warhead has a lethal radius of about 65 m (200 ft) at lower altitudes, but at higher altitudes the thinner atmosphere allows for a wider radius of up to 250m" Wikipedia got also an impressive picture of an unfortune RF-4C getting caught in that blast. I also have some other docs available, however i do not know if i am allowed to post them here. Cheers

Yeah, the AWG9 and TWS are doing their job! Thanks for the fix!

Dear Naquaii, Dear The_Tau, Thank you for your help and thank you for the detailed explanation. I just notice how deep the Tomcat is modelled, i am just scratching the surface! Cheers

Dear DSplayer, thanks for the reply. Is there any way to change the loadout to "flares only" via the rearm menue? That slider "Chaff / Flare" did not work. Cheers Moose

Hi Chaps, is it possible to give the Tomcat a "flare only" loadout and replace all chaff with flares? Have a nice Thanksgiving!

Evening gents, when i am pressing the keybind for switching the tape i hear a "click" noise, however nothing is happening. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I also wanna hear "guns kill"! Cheers Moose

@draconus Thank you mate, that solved it!

Morning Chaps, The player's Tomcat in the Heatblur Tomcat Mission "Alert 5" on Persian Gulf is spawning in a parked aircraft. I loaded the mission 3 times, result everytime the same. The object collision is causing the player's plane to "wobble" around. Attached a screenshot, sorry for the bad quality. Cheers Moose

@Badger633 Nah mate, that skip option is also nice for weekend warrior loosers like me who kinda get stuck in a mission and cannot proceed

@dporter22 Hi mate, I quickly did a screenshot for you to find that "skip" - option. cheersnull
