The engine change was a much needed fix for the tomcat with the notable accidents due to compressor stalls. The power added was also a big bonus not having to use burners on cat shots like they used to with the 30. Those damn birds were alot like the SR-71 in that "if it ain't leaking it ain't workin" They had special catch bags under the engines for the fuel leaks and assorted numbers of bowls and pans on the deck below them to catch the Hyd fluid lol. I have a bunch of pictures of them in one of my photo albums somewhere with some wire catches from the tower. If anyone would like more pics just let me know.

I don't think they ever worked out those wing sweep actuators even on the D model and i think that is when my grey hair started :) . On 04 cruise us below decks in AIMD AE shop would see one every day or 2 with burned out motors or stripped gears. VF-11 and VF-143 were with us. They were putting those Lantirn pods to good use back in those days with Iraq in full swing. I did get to touch one ;)

M-2000 and helos!

Dauphin!

Made this video for you fellas

Come on pre-order!

Alot of aircraft aren't released with it. It takes time I'm sure

I'm all for it. It isn't going to be released with SFM so that's one less worry unlike some aircraft we have been waiting 9+ months for an AFM and were more than the $47 presale so sure why not. I'm sure this will make or break RAZBAM for DCS seeing as how they have other modules in development.

Hopefully we'll have something just as epic this year :)

Understood, my mistake :pilotfly:

All I am getting at is yes it's a simulator but with as much as ED is working on right now I would think an aircraft that has no point other than point A to Point B flying would be low on the priority list, at least at this time. No offense meant.

This was a long time ago so i don't remember the details. Did a few last night and what i do is the last 50 feet or so i reduce the descent to just below 0 on the VSI and gently touch down. It takes alot of practice but is worth it :thumbup:

Digital COMBAT Simulator. These would have no relevance here. Maybe a tanker eventually but airliners? Why?

Cha Ching!!!!

280kph

This may help as well.

Set your HOF to 500 and try it ;) Less time for the parachute bomblets to fall resulting in better accuracy.

Dual m60s would be a great addition for sure!

+1

First day purchase for sure!

Doesn't work here in the US either....

What is the point of this when you can just exit the mission? Maybe I am not understanding right, but why would the devs waste time on this when all you have to do is not repair or respawn.......

You do realize it can take days if not weeks to repair aircraft right? Take it from a former maintainer for the navy. 3 minutes is fine.......

Thank you for the quick reply Sven, looking forward to seeing this beast!
