    @USSInchon Wow!

    That is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. 

    My goal is to make the ATC as authentic as possible so your feedback is invaluable.

    Their is a lot to unpack here and I have many questions. I sent you a PM if you've got the time and are able to help.

    Thank you so much!

    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.

  2. 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.

    Can't wait for your model on the Strike Eagle!!!  I did hear that Oregon is now getting the F-35A instead of the EX  https://www.airandspaceforces.com/f-15ex-f-35-oregon-base-training-unit/ 

    I can only imagine the insult to injury when a confrontation in the South China Sea occurs and an element of two F-15EXs, of the Louisiana ANG forward deployed out of Kadena start lobbing AIM-120Ds or 260s from 100+ miles away at a swarm of (undisclosed country of origin) J-10s, J-11Bs or J-... whatevers.  Using the "family of systems" "data-link synergy" "buzz words."  Death by  Mardi Gras pastel colors and JaZz hands!

    Thanks for your kind words guys, the consequences of too many years jumping in and out of too many helicopters and airoplane's, falling in and out of too many landing craft, being run over by all manner of weird military vehicles whilst living in holes in the ground up to my neck in icy mud, but would I do it all again if I could - TOO DAMN RIGHT I WOULD !! The money was good and so is the pension !!  Life is an adventure, got to enjoy the whole package otherwise there is no point to any of it.

    Had a good look at the Mod and made a start on it tonight, I had already done a little work on the update a while ago (which I had completely forgotten about !!) so it should not take too long.  A day or so if its good, a bit longer if I have to sort out the textures and Liveries again. 

    The mod will include a couple more things that are not shown in those images above, it's all eye candy of course but I use it all the time, makes the scenarios a bit more realistic. 

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

    Exactly, Cold War era Fulda Gap 1980s variant = penetrating enemy airspace at low altitude at night or bad weather, with terrain following radar still operable and mechanical map with INS, avoiding Soviet interceptors, evading SAMs and aiming iron bombs to the target inside AAA fire or trying to allign for very low altitude non-pop up attack with BL755 cluster munition dispensers over Soviet armor protected by Shilkas, then trying to lose the pursuers inside some dark valleys cooperating with navigator on a way back.

    Not 2000s era last Tornadoes with disabled radars, releasing very long range automatically guided cruise missile from 50nm from the target with zero risk, cruising at 30,000tf and RTB.

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

    Grey bombs!!! we finally have grey bombs.

    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.

    That approach will only work on static objects (ie. you have a parked "prop"). Otherwise, the AI "pilot" will automatically close them and the doors will only open during weapon drop.

    However, if there is community interest in having them re-open when the plane parks; I could probably write a replacement file to do that.

    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.

    The only GE birds were the 15 J’s that were bought to bulk up the Air defence role, I believe they were “re-lifed” at NAS North Island in California.

    All the actual RN/RAF birds were Speyed, requiring the intake trunks to be widened. It’s to these - the FG1 & FGR2 - that I was referring to, on re reading my initial reply I didn’t make that clear, my apologies Sir.

    No worries, I learn new stuff every day here.
