Same thing for the Mig-21. I always use the fixed sight for both. A stable pipper is what I want. ..

Land a jet on the runway with wheels up, turn round, take off, lower the wheels, turn round and land back on the runway, without anybody noticing. ..

Tornado of course! On their farewell tour of the South of UK, today. ..

Thanks chaps. :thumbup: I'm working on another Dive Toss scenario, similar to another one I did a few years ago with Mig 21. in the mountains. In the meantime, here is one to see if I can deliver, in the face of those pesky SAMs, Snakeyes using CCRP low level. My Memory Aid vid. AAA and SAM protected bridge is the target. OSA radar range is 16nm, so it's essential to get down into the valley as soon as possible after locking the target at 24 miles. Loadout is 12 Snakeye at 12/1/004 (40') but 150' would have been better for this 1800' bridge. Ip is red roof at edge of town to line up. Don't exceed 200' AGL after exit valley. This also works with CCIP. ..

I just remembered, there are Snakeyes on at the moment. Change them for slicks or Rockeye, either will do, Rockeye with a closer lob and more chance of a hit. GL..

Hello. Disable the 2 OSA SAMs for a dive toss, 1 on the island, 1 in the convoy, or a low level approach will be necessary. GL .. RAF Harrier .miz

When you're in a bad place, imagine you're somewhere else. At least it's given you a chance to vent. The Harriers a great plane, but I wouldn't watch the next one if I were you. :lol: ..

I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime, I'll do stuff and you can sit around and wait. ..

@ Sadist Cain For a convoy I use clusters, as you don't need to be quite so picky for accuracy. In this case, the target is the bridge and only 1 bomb hit is required for success, hence the diagonal approach. The convoy is just a cherry. So what is the alternative. CCRP with a buggered ASL. WW2 style bombing at high alt. with less accuracy than a Lancaster. CCIP Light Brigade, in a death slide into a hail of bullets and missiles. LGB, Mav etc. Not my thing. The only thing this lacks from a real CCRP Dive Toss, is an, in range cue, so I can live with that. Trying to find the sweet spot for accuracy, is really good fun and is the kind of thing I enjoy. Falklands style, hands on. TBC. ..

My version. My memory aid procedure. The Harrier doesn't have this form of bombing implemented, so I'm using an alternative, less accurate version, used for attacking AAA and man-pad defended targets, without overflying. CCIP would be suicide, (AAA is disabled for this attack). 005, should read 50 ft spacing. CCRP replays don't work, so AIH cockpit view only. ..

Game options "Dot Only". I've been trying my own previously modded labels, but without success, so it's, dot only, for now. ..

That's half way down the side and there are portholes below it. You can see the waterline on the port side. It has the same starboard list that it had on the surface, before being sunk by torpedoes and that's after falling 3 miles. Good enough for me. ..

Looks like you've just started one. Here's the last time I flew the Sabre. ..

She's actually sitting on the seabed, as if still afloat on the surface, ready to fly off planes. ..

That is correct. i.e. For an 8000' runway. Mk 82. 14 x 1 @ 055, (550 ft), should do it. ..

Maybe CBU would need a large, measured, spacing, (not DCS ones). On the other end of the scale, 14 82s with 005 spacing, used in Dive Toss, sounds like a Gau 8 firing, when released. :) ..

This is the most responses I've had to a post, since the last time I FU'd. Have you tried 14 houses 9990' apart. I still say there's not much call for it. ..

Yes you are correct. There is a call for a 9990' spacing. I miss-read the calculater. :doh: ..

Nice demo! I was about to do one for the Harrier. I'm using CCRP Dive Toss, but the principle and results look the same. ..

The way I read it, the Harrier pilot is talking about flying with an asymmetric load (a common practice), not about dropping 500 lb off the end of 1 wing. Flying at 400 kts S&L and dropping a bomb from an outer pylon produced a slight wing drop, which was easily corrected with trim, then the aircraft flew as the pilot described. ..

Huey, if you want the real helicopter experience without AP helper interference and light weapons. Mi 8 for stabilized helo transport and heavier weapons (best all rounder). Shark for specialized, stable weapon platform (the most difficult to learn). Gazelle..... I used twist grip for 4 years on the first 3 and a year on the Gazelle without detriment.Pedals are a more realistic option, but it took quite a while to convert. ..

Except, take off and land vertically. ..

That's true, but so should a boot full of pedal and it doesn't. (Gyro/AP off of course). Violent inputs don't upset the balance and they should. Lower collective and drop vertically from a stable hover at 5000' and land at zero speed, without using the stick. Then jump in your R22 and do the same and see what happens. Throw the stick out the window first, to make sure you don't cheat. :helpsmilie: ..

I've asked this question several times before, but I never get an answer, so here's another go (simplified). Why can I fly this machine without using the cyclic? ..

"There is also the weird rolling behavior when you move the collective lever in the DCS Gazelle".... When this behaviour was first introduced, you could drop the collective to roll the Gazelle inverted and remain there. At least that's gone now. In fact inverted flight is now not possible due to the rotor breaking apart, (I'm glad to say).
