For the Autopilot to work in the A-10 you need the EAC, RDR Altimiter and the LASTE all working correctly to get it to engage/disengage...

You need to understand the ALQ-100 is not weaker, the freq range it covered was not as high. Power out and freq range of RADAR & DECM systems are the same. The difference between the ALQ-126A (Delta Mod) and the B version is a higher freq range and newer state of the art components. C/D Hornets right now are very hard to repair because of parts, (Avionics systems) obsolescence is a big problem, they just don't make them anymore. You need to remember the A-7, A-6, E/A-6B, carried the ALQ-126A too. The Intruder & Prowler could carry two of them, but usually used only one and used steal plates in the Turtleback for CoG purposes. VA-22 & 94 made the last cruises with A-7s at NAS Lemoore in 88. I taught the ALQ-126A & B the AN/ALM-106, and AN/USM-458 Test benches at NAMTRAGRUDET at NAS Lemoore.. This was from Nov 89 to July 93, I never had a student from NAS Miramar.

You can use the Sinai, Egypt, Jordan map along with the Syria to go all the way back to 1948, 6 Day War, Yom Kippur, just about all the Arab/Israeli conflicts to date. Only problem is the Syria map is all modern, (cities) so it can't be used for anything except current day scenarios. Shame!...

When I say it Transmits deception techniques on a pulse for pulse basis means as long as you leave it in Xmit/Repeat.... everytime a Fire Control RADAR xmits a pulse the deception repeater will recieve that pulse, determine if it's a threat, choose a technique, amplify the return pulse to bury the actual pulse in noise, and continue to do that while it's in the threats engagement envelope. It only stops once it's outside said envelope. As for Tomcats using the A model ALQ, there were never any techs on the boat from NAS Miramar to repair ALQ-126s (they had to provide techs, and NAS Miramar had no AN/ALM-106, which is the repair bench for 126As), they only came from NAS Lemoore, (A-7s, F/A-18s) NAS Whidbey Is. (A-6, EA-6B, E/A-18). As stated before, I repaired all the DECM that went in Naval Aircraft. The ECM shop (W/C 64B) was for ALQ-99s and is in the vans hanging from the overhead in hanger bay one. ECM, DECM, is not modeled with any accuracy in this "Sim", arguing about it is pointless. But I do get a chuckle or two reading them.

Out of the 20 years I worked on DECM gear in the Navy, (77-97) I never repaired an AN/ALQ-126A to be installed into an F-14, they all carried AN/ALQ-100s. AN/ALQ-126Bs went into F/A-18s. You would of been briefed when to switch your Countermeasures from Receive to Repeat or Xmit..... The ALQ will along with the RWR gear will detect, and display all RADARS on its display. But, it will not respond/xmit until the input signal strength has exceeded a predetermined level (range). And then on a pulse for pulse basis. DECM is designed to keep breaking lock long enough for you to get in and get out. Hoss

When its loaded don't forget to calibrate your rudder and brake axis with the MFG Configurator software gui.

I could see the South Atlantic map being used as a Norway stand in for Mosquito raids into the fjords.... on Nazi shipping...

I don't see any Warbirds...............

the 19th is Fathers Day............. best time to anger the missus.................

A-6, A-7, F-4, F-8, F-14...... The A-6 will need a big Buddy Store. ............. need a Vigilante, C1 for old C.O.D. SH-3.................. and an RF-8 variant too, a TARPS pod for the F-14 too... I would almost think I'm back out on the boat again.............. Oh, the F-8 needs to go BANG really loud when AB kicks in for CAT launch.

Hey, send me one and I'll take you out to VFA-25's hanger at the base........................... hey Skopro_PL, he said two (2) F-16 style sticks, which is in the A-10.. and F-16..

Korea, with bits of Japan, China, then Vietnam with Cambodia and Laos on it. With old, new cities like Marianas map.

+100

Still pulling for a B/C model, of course with Malcolm Hood. And the Razorback Jug........................... And a P-38 with boosted ailerons.

Probably side effects from the Philadelphia experiment............... Cheers

V1, V2, V3?

I've had the A model for awhile now and it works great in DCS and IL2. I have never had problems getting in touch with them. Maybe they are on holiday.

Get the one with the four sliders in the upper right side. Six axis'. It's the one I have. https://images.app.goo.gl/mraCv5mxn1me2qPr9 Cheers

I was on the Enterprise in 85-89, we got into Perth just when the first TopGun was being released. They filmed part of it on the Big E while we were doing work ups for that 86 cruise. They sent us a copy of the Movie through AFARTS, so we saw it before a lot of other people.

You can use the Korea/Japan map from 1950 onward with DCS. The developers just need to remember to make it with different era city density/modernization specifics, like the Mariana's map. The Syria map going down into the Sinai and Suez, with some of Jordan would be nice too, from 1948 (Six Day War) to present could be done on that map. Maps are just too short sighted for my tastes, some pretty, some not so much. Imagine French Carriers launching F4U-5 Corsairs, the RN launching SkyHawks off of a HMS carrier. Israelis flying A-4, Mirage's, Egyptians in Migs, Su's, and Jordans flying their mix too.

No doubt..............

Will take an Essex carrier, a Panther, Corsair, A1-D. And a Korean map please. An F-84, F-80, AI B-29..... Meteor, Seafirer's, Sea Fury. Life would be good.

Flight 420 to Bluesville..........................

An N model would be nice for the Pacific, had wet wings, the only Jug to have them I believe. Edit: Yeah!!!!.......it's been a bit, I know.... but Razorbacks were in the Pacific too. LOL... I had meant to come right back and do that edit that day...... but the wife and I had the great grand kids back then... I got busy....

Okinawa instead please......................... Iwo is too small, Okinawa had many more battles during it's course than Iwo did.
