F-15E, A-6E, F-111D & F and Tornado would all be excellent choices. My first pick would be the Strike Eagle followed by the Intruder. A Super Hornet family model would also be a welcome addition, but considering the similarities to DCS F-18, it places lower down the list.

On that note, here are some that have already been uploaded: Each section usually consists of 3 or 4 parts, so for example, the Pulse Radar page posted above, shows the part I title page. There are 3 subsequent parts (II, III & IV) with a similar title page. The general arrangement is that each section consists of an introduction, description of the objectives, a questions section, an answers section and finally, the most important and interesting, the summary. It's a pretty big book being over 1 and a 1/4 inches thick, perhaps 400 pages long or so.

Thanks Manuel There're so many manuals involved in the development of an aircraft that it would be extremely difficult to acquire everything (even taking classification into account). The manual I have for instance is a student workbook, so it doesn't bear a NAVAIR number or any real references for that matter and isn't an item one would usually ask for. I collect military aviation manuals and have done so for a long while, however I never knew of the workbooks existence prior to a few weeks ago. I knew airframes all have workbooks and various study guides, but I would never have known to be this specific if requesting info.

Hi Cosmic Don't quit posting. There's a bit cross talk regarding how things work in real life and how to solve/find workarounds for the sim. Real life talk is interesting and can and has helped the developers improve different aspects of this sim.

I hear you, there's still some interesting things to figure out. Mod S as you mentioned, Mode 1, E-1, E-2, E-3, EID, air-to-air targeting pod ...... BTW, I'm pretty good thanks for asking. I've just read your post about not working as a photojournalist anymore, which seems like a shame. You've done what many only dream about and must have had great experiences.

Don't worry about it.:thumbup:

Thanks.

Hi Dino I appreciate the advice. I was thinking about posting the declassification statements but didn't want to clutter the thread, but I'll do that because I already have those images uploaded to imgur. Marking the classification print for redaction, would be like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa to me.:megalol: No, there are no distribution statements on it. I think such statements (distribution statement A, B, C, D, E etc) were only introduced in the late 80's or early 90's, however earlier documents may have had FOUO markings. Here's an image of a page showing the declassification markings:

Raytheon, It doesn't play and there's no link to the youtube addresses.

The vast majority of my workbook is dated 1980, with earliest date being 21st January 1980 and the latest being 28th July 1980. The TWS section in question, is dated 10th March 1980, if that helps for comparison.

Good point.

The workbook I have states that the ±10°/8 bar scan pattern, is available in TWS-M only.

Nice post AvroLanc. It's not shown in you're image, but there's also a ±10°/8 bar, TWS scan pattern.

Good work. That's a great video, very crisp and clear.

I'm pretty sure there's an F-14 picture out there, with the RIO mooning the camera jet. I wonder if Jester AI can do that? :)

In real life the RIO's aspect switch may be of some help, unless the target is dispensing while beaming. I don't know how it'll work in DCS however.

Nice find falcon.:thumbup:

You're right and this makes sense given the -54A was compatible with PDSTT.

Hi Trev There appears to be a little confusion over the original question. Steve's response was to you stating that "JHMCS doesn't need to align with the actual HUD. It needs to align with the aircraft. That's no something that you control. That's done by avionics technicians when they boresight and calibrate the system," I'm not sure how alignment works in the sim, but in the real F-15C (and I assume it's the same for other JHMCS equipped jets), JHMCS alignment forms part of the pilots normal preflight checks, so Steve is correct about that. As for Cosmic_AK's DCS, TrackIR info on alignment using the MPCD, I'm sure many users will find that helpful. :) Steve, I wish I knew. I think it's one of those hush-hush modes because in the Eagle manual, it refers the reader to the triple sticks.

Earlier versions of those manuals are unlikely to be classified. Early versions of the -1A are certainly not classified. My manual is a student familiarisation manual called FAM IV and covers the following topics:

The 'A' model Phoenix was older than the AIM-7F and this could be one of the reasons it didn't/couldn't benefit from PD illumination. I don't know if the Phoenix 'C' suffered from the same limitation.

If you can acquire the documentation for it, I'm sure one of the teams would be happy to oblige.;)

It may be a compatibility issue. Earlier versions of the Sparrow were CW only, with the 'F' model being the first to support pulse doppler.

Do you mean it's ancient or very recent? The manual/workbook itself, is predominantly early to mid 1980. There are a couple of pages that have been revised and dated mid 1982, with the picture I posted existing in a 15 page section dated September 1983.

Yes that can be an issue with some items, having said that, the F-14 used the older AAQ-14 targeting pod from carriers.
