With the C172 coming we need the CWG map to expand all the way to Moscow.

you're welcome, another good resource to use, to hear how US ATC works day-to-day is liveatc.net there are a few military sites on there as well, but its mostly civil aviation.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!! great work. I have a few notes (for reference I'm a 23 year tower and radar controller at both civilian and military airfields in the US). ->The ATIS information we don't say QFE we just say "Altimeter Two Niner Niner Two" All altitudes are read as single numbers ie One Four Thousand for 14,000. ->Runway taxi instruction phraseology is "Runway ## taxi via taxiway X X X [hold short or cross runway if needed]." the pilot will hold short of the runway themselves. also only when giving a progressive taxi instruction would you use turn left Charlie right alpha or something similar. it takes a lot of time to say those words, and in our world seconds count, so the less we have to say the better. ->Single pilot fighter aircraft takeoff clearance is: "c/s runway XX, wind XXX/XX, change to departure, cleared for takeoff" (personally I say change to departure after the takeoff clearance but that's what the book says). -> In the US Flight Levels don't begin until FL180, below that its One Two Thousand One Seven Thousand, Two Thousand Five Hundred, etc. -> When giving a radar vector and not using turn left/ turn right heading, say "fly heading" It looks like some of these things were corrected later in the video when you were inbound, such as fly heading and removing the QFE and QNH phraseology. -> The overhead sequence from tower should be "report initial (3-5 nm from runway), then give break instructions ie left/right break, at the approach end, mid-field, departure end, etc. for sequencing in the pattern. -> The runway exit instructions (since it seems to know where you're parking) are "Turn left/right next taxiway, at the end, or [taxiway name]. I wrote these notes as I watched the video. again this is great work, just some things that would make it a bit more polished. Ref: 7710.65AA Air Traffic Control Handbook (used by both US Military and Civilian ATC). The tower section is Chapter 3, Radar is under Chapters 4 and 5.

The Krews of Jazz and Rex will be throwing death and destruction like so many Mardi Gras beads.

You absolutely should never go to your grave with your body in pristine condition. Glad to hear you're on the mend.

Any chance for a VH-3 (aka Marine One) model?

Will it be able to fold up on the carrier deck?

So what you're saying is, it's going to make a man out of us?

Does this mean we are finally getting DCS E1-E3 addon for the Super Carrier? Where we have to try to dodge every terrible duty on the boat why we desperately try to learn the actual job we signed up for?

It would win, as anyone who dared to pass them would be dead.

I'm just excited to have a natural home for the F-5E, F-16C, Viggen, and F/A-18C. As well as most of the Russian/Soviet catalogue.

Where? Both the Hornet and Tomcat only show green bombs for me still. Are you sure you're not using a mod or custom livery? Damn it!! You're right, somehow that sneaked into my mods and I didn't notice. Oh well, one day we'll have it for real.

Grey bombs!!! we finally have grey bombs. Disregard, it was a sneaky mod I didn't realize I had.

There's a checkbox on the CAP H-6 that allows the bomb bay doors to be open on the ramp. Not sure how they did that or what's involved.

<heavy breathing>

Work has been slow, I started a new job and am focusing on that, but I am still poking at it from time to time.

I'm really looking forward to this HVA, one could say I'm...riveted

I'm beginning to think we need a separate thread for these A-4 sea stories, where we (mostly grown adults) can sit cross-legged on the floor and listen to these very intriguing stories from the plane we love.

No worries, I learn new stuff every day here.

I thought the original lot of RN Phantoms had the RR engines that weren't quite a powerful as the GE engines. The later lots the Brits got had the GEs

It's simple, take the F-4J and reduce the thrust and make it smoke more

Out-phucking-standing!

War crimes are frowned upon?
