MFG62 Joker

Hi there, like we say in Bavaria: "ja, is denn scho Weihnochdn?" ... feels like chistmas, no?! We recenly formed the German Squad MFG 62. We are still in a forming state, with 4 Pilots aiming for combat readiness. With great pleasure I see what is planned here, it seems to be a perfect fit to our vision of gameplay we aim for. More information about us is: Welcome to our squadron's German website. https://mfg62.de/ A brief introduction: We fly aircraft from the golden era of the Cold War in DCS. Our core values are an authentic, honest and reliable personality initiative team spirit flying skills and the will to achieve good airmanship humor is when you laugh anyway, especially at yourself If you are keen to constantly improve your own knowledge and skills as well as those of the team, you can find an aeronautical home in MFG62. Our motto: boyz 'n' toyz. How it works here: The founders have formed the staff that deals with the formation, operation and further development of the squadron. The further organization is planned to be flat, not hierarchical. Roles are determined by the staff based on proven skills and operational conditions. The scope of the game: Our current flight is the DCS community mod “Douglas A4E-C Skyhawk”. Training takes place as part of the Mediterranean air fleet in Cyprus, more precisely at the RAF base Akrotiri. Consequently, the “DCS: Syria Map” is the only purchase module required. For our carrier training, the US Navy has provided us with our “mother”, “the FID” - first in Defense, “CVA-59 USS Forrestal”. Here we hope to achieve our “Carrier Qualification”. How are we doing: Our plan is to complete the airfield-based training by the fall of 2024, including weapons training. Extensive training documents and mission scenarios are in the works. Then our baptism of fire will take place on servers such as the “Enigma Cold War Server”, which is now operated by Heatblur. The primary goal is to achieve operational objectives with as few losses as possible. In the future, we plan to use additional modules such as the Northrop F-5E “Tiger II” and McDonnel Douglas F-4E “Phantom II”. We work with the Skyhawk until the baptism of fire to achieve the various qualifications, each of which is completed with rated “check rides”. A passed check ride then qualifies, for example, for an air-to-air refueling mission or a SEAD mission. Who do I need to contact: Please address applications to the staff, Joker and Batman are the right people to contact for onboarding. To do so, register in the “simwings.de” forum and send us a PM. If it doesn't work right away, the admin will activate you at the next opportunity, then it should work. A probationary period will be served before being accepted into the squadron. During the probationary period, you can discuss with the staff what other organizational matters need to be considered when joining the squadron. Just come by and write to us. The MFG62 team

Hallo Lino, ... long time no see ... ist schon alt, aber kann man die Datei noch irgendwo herunterladen?

Great Mod, can anybody please advise on the discord server, with the last link I get this:

great, thanks sLYFa here https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/128006-how-it-works-mi-8-ice-protection-system/ I found this detail, great stuff!! When the ICING signal is generated, the vibrating head of the ice detector is heated for 8±2 seconds in order to remove ice buildup. •After this time delay, the heating of the ice detector head will cease. If the aircraft remains in icing conditions, ice will once again begin to build up on the ice detector head. •At the same time that the ICING signal is generated, another timer lasting 140±40 seconds is initiated. For the duration of this timer, the “ICING” annunciator will remain illuminated and automatic anti-icing will continue.

Trying to understand the purpose of 8, 9 and 11 in the picture: I understand that the radio-isotopic sensor РИО-3 sends signal to different parts of the system. The switch (9) does what? Is it supposed to stay down or up? What is the purpose for the pushbutton (8)? What does the indicator lamp (11) tell me? What is the procedures around these 3 items? Any hint to documentation will help. The only documentation I found now is about SO-121VM detector type.

... you can count me "in". :thumbup:

I was ready to mount the initial version today ... everything printed and refined. So I`m really happy that I waited and checked the thread before drilling holes in my Warthog. FD if you share the stl's for that one, I really owe U a drink.:thumbup::thumbup:

Yeah if you ask me I would opt for the solution just like the F18. Everybody who dislikes the additional detent button could choose not to activate the feature. This way everybody should be happy.

I would like to suggest to add axis for flaps since now its only fully retracted or fully deployed. And: is the DLC thumbwheel an axis IRL? ATM it does not allow for permanently driving the LE controls to a certain state. It deploys an retracts the spoilers which results in a momentary effect. Maybe this is the real thing but I‘m not sure here. Anybody knows how this works IRL? Key/button settings for Throttle Mode ‚Auto‘ and ‚Boost‘. There is just no time in the downwind or in the groove to fiddle with the mouse in order to set throttle to auto.

This I missed also. How am I supposed to control maneuver flaps without being able to control the lever position aside from fully up/fully down :helpsmilie:

At which PD are you?

+1 Especially when using VR this is a killer! The reduced resolution of what you can see in VR (which is not HB‘s fault I admit) + museum-like weathered and hard to read labels in the cockpit + fiddeling with the mouse to get the correct click spoils the immersion. You spend way too long with your head down to be able to really control the tomcat. Mostly then the cat rides you instead of you joy-riding the cat. So please have a Look into that.

Great news, I hope to get one soon. Please ensure I‘m on your list.

Very nice product. Will be interested to buy as soon as it is sold.

For KC135: —> Advanced waypoint —> perform command —> activate TACAN Questions: A) For KC130 no option „activate TACAN“ is available. Anybody really managed to get TACAN A/C working on KC130? B) For KC135 Is there a loadout option to set a pylon with basket refuel system in order to let AV/8B gas up at a KC135?
