Corsairs on high CAP, Seafires or Firefly on medium CAP and Avenger on GA form the basis of attacks on Formosa and Sakishima airfields. 3rd part of this excellent analysis of the British involvement in 1945, by Drachinifel. ..

Yes they are 3 lug, 2 American, 1 British and should fit. ..

The British 250 and 500 lb MC MkII should fit the bill, but I don't think there is a 1000lb MC in stock MC is equivalent to American GP. ..

The most useful fuse so far, for low level drops is the Mk 244 mod A1. How low can you go? 50'? 30' is the lowest, to enable the fuse to arm. 4 sconds delay. The correct fuse for this type of work, is the AN M116 5 sec tail fuse, but it doesn't work. This one will do.. ..

Low level 500lb at 90' 1000lb at 90' ..

I tried more fuse combos today but they all exploded on contact. Plugs made no difference unless used N and T, when no explosion will occur. The correct use for a 5 or11 second delay tail fuse AN M116, is for very low level and the nose plug in, but it explodes on contact. The only one that provided a usable delay was nose fuse Mk 244 mod 1, (anti submarine), which gave 4 secs with switch in N/T psition. Oh well, keep plodding on. The M135 A1 and M136 A1 air burst fuse actually works! This timed nose fuse was a thing before radar alt was used. Minimum setting 5 secs. (should be 10), Never used by the Navy, but could be a fun thing to try. ..

I tried the AN M64 bomb today with a AN M116 5 sec tail fuse and nose plug, dropped from about 300' and it exploded on contact. This fuse is designed to be dropped from mast height, say 100', hence the long delay of 5 or 11 seconds. Something wrong here! ..

Fast and low is the way to go. Pity you can't make 'em bounce. ..

Pedal software maybe. ..

The strange part is that in Control Panel it shows a perfect linear ribbon. The jump also occurs in all other flight sims. All my jets are set to non slider, so the jump to 50 input equalls 0 output, further resulting in 100 input and 100 output and therefore no problem is encountered. The slider will produce a 50 output at 0 input. That sudden jump will put a tail dragger on its nose in DCS, so the large deadzone is required, or just use non slider and reduce the total output. like this, Add a dash of curve to taste. Braking will start from centre. No noseover. British aircraft are unaffected as I use the slider on the throttle, which works normally. ..

You have a choice of fuses up to 11 seconds,10 mins and 1 hr, set in the Mission Editor/Payload screen. Click on the orange triangle next to the bomb to get a choice of nose or tail options. ..

The 5060 has 44% more performance than the 3060 and is slightly under my 2080Ti I run DCS on full settings on a 1440 monitor. So the 5060 will be the better of the two. ...

I'm following the manuals curved approach. pretty scary stuff when you first try it, around 250' in the circuit. But it means with flaps down you are already at the 3 point attitude and with plenty of power on, no wollowing and full view of the deck. Cross the stern at 200 plus, cut power and it will plonk on the deck. Better than freelancing and very satisfying. ..

Default position is at zero. What you're seeing is with my foot on the pedal at the point of instant jump to 50. I've eliminated that useless part with a 50 deadzone. If I leave it as a straight slider then 50 input would be an instant 50 output on the brakes which is very undesirable. This works very well. ..

I'm now using this for the Mustang. 50% input gives 0% output. with max 70% to prevent nose-over.
