  1. I am just curious. The F110-GE-100 only does that if started in secondary mode where the Digital Electronic Control (DEC) is not on and the Main Engine Control (MEC) is used to control the start.
  2. AFAIK, it matches the real life moon cycle. For example, here are Kutaisi full moon calenderar https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/georgia/kutaisi So if you set up a mission for those dates and time you should have a full moon.
  3. AFAIK, only the F/A-18C, the A-10C and hopefully the F-16C will be the only ones with a specific versions, specific year and specific software versions mention.
  4. lol, typical to all the Modules we have, right?
  5. Does anyone know why this version of the F110 closes the nozzle on start? I tried to ask here but not sure if anyone saw it https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3809863&postcount=97
  6. So what do got so far: - The the manuals available to us are painfully outdated. - That the AV-8B in DCS may be between 2006 to 2012 and my not represent a specific date version. - That if the AV-8B can carry GBU-12 on ITER or DITER, is done rarely if ever. - We know the RL AV-8B underwent several upgrades/updates very rapidly like most combat aircraft from 2000 to 2015. - We know that by 2011, RL AV-8B could only carry the TGP on Station 2, 5 and 6. Anything else guys?
  7. I just found this photo. It suppose to be a exchange pilot in training from VVMA-213 at Yuma MCAS circa 2006. I guess the unit name is wrong since I can find any info. I think they mean VMA-311 Tomcats. The article is in spanish http://www.hispaviacion.es/aviador-naval/ Obviously this is a AV-8B+ so not the same we have and not sure if it matters.

  10. :cry: That makes me feel old...lol, nearly 20 years now? Back on the multiviper days you had barely come in. Man I'm old.
  11. AFAIK, that is video of development and testing for the ATFLIR and does not represent the TGP flown in the USAF F-15E.
  12. Not sure
  13. oil used to preserve the engine during shipping or storage.
  14. Notice how much the camera vibrates when the AB comes on, that is how your chest feels.
  15. On this one the fuel is burning and was probably and anticipated hot start.
  16. That is not fuel burning and we can't read tit in the pit. This engine does not use TIT AFAIK. Normal pickle engine start, no damage.
  17. Where in your hard rive is DCS installed? your drive letter:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics once you open this folder will tell you if it is OB or stable. Additionally this link show you the installer versions https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ This shows you how to use the updater https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030
  18. I miss pickled engine runs, they where exciting.
  19. Looking at the cold and dark start up video https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=232970 Why do the nozzle close during start up? Looking at it from F110-GE-100 experience. I am just curious about what design change on the -400 over the -100 causes this and reasons for it? Not saying is wrong, not arguing anything.
  20. I heard the rhetoric before, anyone remember fighter ops? LOL That made laugh then as it does now.
  21. On this photos you can see them load what looks like 3 GBU-38 on a TER, but this is in 2019, 12 to 15 years ahead of the DCS version. https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5098104/ordnance-bringing-bombs-with-vma-223-spmagtf-cr-cc-191
  22. But GR9 has different equipment and does different thing. One example of this is the outrigger pylons/ stations. In the USMC AV-8B is wired yet never used. Even if the USMC AB-8B N/A from different year will have different capabilities since they went through so many update/upgrades. Even flying from Afghanistan or Iraq they are only caring single GBU. I think the 1A-AV8BB-TAC-050 (NWP 3-22.5-AV8B, Vol. II) from 1998 we can find is 8 to 10 years outdated in relation to the DCS versions, but it matches photos and videos of USMC deployments. When this manual was used, I don't think the Night attack AV-8B could carry the TGP. If we can find a newer NATOPS, that would be great.
  23. Cool thanks
