Not to nitpick, but 15 + 4 isn't 20...

The voice commands seem to depend on which country you fly for, not avionics- or cockpit language. At least that's what I've seen in MP. US = English voice over, Russia = Russian.

I had no idea there was a cargo indicator. That should make pickups a bit easier. Thanks for the tip Cibit!

Using a rotary switch doesn't exclude you from all MP servers with integrity checking...

I found the spot at the start of the video in google earth. It's not 100% identical to what's currently in GE, but it may be an older 3d scan, or something equivalent from some other source.

For those who are interested, you can find a bit of info about some of the airfields here: http://www.forgottenairfields.com/lower-normandy/

I saw something about the server changing it's name (to "Aerobatics Online" or something similar) in the admin message when logging on yesterday. Is there any additional info available regarding this?

Forget about that cheesy romantic drama with a few cool flying scenes. [Engineering nerd alert]: If anyone is going to do any virtual bird flipping, it would have to be a 3D version of Bob Widlar in the cockpit:

Didn't it say 28.11 in the video? As in one month from now (if it means anything at all). And before anyone pulls out the "but that isn't a friday!"-card, the F-14 was announced on a tuesday (3.3.15).

Add the following two lines to your description.lua (assuming that you've already found the chute texture in the ZIP and saved a local copy of it in the livery folder): {"F-5E3_parachute", 0 ,"F-5e3_parachute",false}; {"F-5E3_parachute_1", 0 ,"F-5e3_parachute",false};The first line is for the deployed chute, while line 2 is the packed chute. The two parts use different material names in the 3d file, but they refer to the same texture file by default. If you just add the first line, the model wil use the default texture from the zip for the packed part of the animation.

The Viggen was (unfortunately) never exported so I don't think they ever bothered with translating anything. If learning Swedish isn't an option (it's quite easy; even small children in Sweden understand it) you'll just have to wait for Leatherneck's translation.

The magnetic declination (the difference between magnetic and geographic north) is approximately 6° in the Caucasus area, and around 11° in Nevada.

When it's finished.

Sounds like a repeat of the Burmese Spitfires. "Disassembled and carefully buried" usually means chopped up and thrown in a pit. Al-Taqqadum is the only case I've heard of where a buried plane has been found reasonably intact.

I only use the NWS for sharp turns (~90°). I prefer differential braking for pretty much everything else.

It's a model issue. Part of the left side nose texture overlaps the top part. Approximately above the battery hatch IIRC. For some reason, part of the texture outside the green wireframe outline is mapped to the top view.

Just pull the yellow/black handle?

Not säckpipa? Or senap?

...and the fact that the Viggen (and later Gripen) wasn't made in the US. After getting US aircraft for free as military aid during the cold war, buying from anyone else has, unfortunately, been out of the question after we had to start paying for them. The "competition" a few years ago was heavily biased towards the F-35 (which lead to both Eurofighter and Dassault pulling their tenders before the final stages of the competition), and I'm sure it was the same way 40 years ago.

The Viggen has everything. Compound delta wing, "lumpy" area ruled fuselage, thrust reverser, in-line bogie main landing gear, and the smell of surströmming in the cockpit. What more can you ask for? It's much more interesting than the boring F-16 the RNoAF flies.

I think the PZL Belphegor may be #1 on ugly-o-meter. Or maybe it shares the spot with the fat-nosed AEW 707 (Phalcon?) and various single engine anti-sub aircraft (Gannet, Alize etc.). The Viggen is nowhere near the top of the list. Trust me, I know, I'm a professional.

I'm working on a camo IRIAF F-5 to complement my Azarakhsh (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2126408/)

According to google there is a deform tool in PSP, which at least sounds like it might do some of the same things as free transform in PS. Other than that I have no idea. I haven't used PSP in 17-18 years, and my memory is a little rusty.
