  1. Yeah, seams like it's only visual, can't find anything about there being any sort of audio warning.
  2. They actually do have a warning system. The lamp left of the radar screen starts to flash at 5Hz 7s before the calculated impact time. The hud also starts flashing, in most modes. There's a whole segment dedicated to it in "SFI AJS37 del 1" on "flik 23". Image from the manual.
  3. Right, so I was bored and decided to make a 3D model of a MJ2 submunition from the BK90. Here's what I came up with: There are 10 rows of indentations. Each indentation is 3.3mm wide, +- a bit and about 6.5mm deep. As you can see it's fairly close to the real deal, except for the lighting. Hope this can help in estimating it's effectiveness.
  4. We will get the AJS 37. Which is a AJ 37, but with some new weapons, a slighly diffrent radar, and a few other things. The cockpit is the same as on the AJ 37, but with a maverick sight, called EP-13. The blueish circle to the right of the hud.
  5. I've made ONE succesful landing on a carrier with a Viggen. It was in a simulator with a real Viggen cockpit, but it used Xplane 10, so im not sure how realistic it was. So it might be able to do it. Skickat från min Nexus 5 via Tapatalk
  6. Yes, that is the thrust revers lever under the airspeed indicator.
  7. At max mil. you have to push the throttle sideways, toward the side of the aircraft, and then forward slightly to engage the first AB stage. There is a detent for every stage, but you only have to move the throttle sideways for the first stage. After that it's only force. EDIT: Found this video showing the whole thing. At the 2m 45s mark.
  8. Some additional documents that I've found about the Viggen. Aerodynamics of the Viggen 37 aircraft.

  9. F-5E teaser released on Belsimtek's Youtube. [ame] [/ame]
  10. I did find a performance document for JA37, so it's a bit different, but it might shed light on things, not sure. [ame]http://www.temporal.com.au/viggen_final.pdf[/ame]
  11. Both part 2 and part 3 of the AJ37 SFI previously posted, have chapters dedicated to manoeuvre performance listed in the index. Sadly none of those pages are in the actual documents we have access to (the links in the beginning of this post).
  12. This is the only image of the Ep-13 I've found with it turned "on". It's from the "AJS 37" manual (part 1, chapter 1) linked earlier in this thread. EDIT I made a quick photoshop to show how I think it might look like when looking at a target, based on the image above.
  13. I found a document of an interview of engineers and pilots talking about early aircraft radars. It might have been posted here before, I’m not sure. The interview is in Swedish. Starts on page 45. [ame=https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:127835/FULLTEXT01.pdf]Link here[/ame] I found a part where they talk about the AJ 37’s radar, the PS-37/A. It’s not the one we’re getting, but it’s very close. We’ll get the PS-371/A, the same one as on the SH 37, the sea reconnaissance version of the Viggen. “It wasn’t really an a2a radar, what we used was the mapping mode (swe: kartritningsmoden) to create a picture of the air situation. You really couldn’t do more than that, which resulted in a pretty heavy workload of the pilot. Fascinating enough it gave really good range measurements, even against air targets.” : Pilot, Leif Åström “The Achilles heel was that it still was an analog radar, and was dependent on the pilots skill to counter interference. It took a lot of training to learn how to manage all the different filters to counter different countermeasures.” : Pilot, Leif Åström “The focus, as we experienced it, was that the radar could handle both ground and air targets. Then it became more of an attack radar that would search and measure (range) ground targets and would have a secondary function against air targets.” : electrical engineer, Jörgen Nilsson I'm sure there're more interesting information in there about other radars and aircraft if you have the energy/ will to read though it all.
