  1. Same kind of record here. As a kid, I saw on 8 April 1975 the F-5E that bombed the presidential palace in Saigon, where I lived with my parents who worked there. Many years later, I had my own close up guided tour in Switzerland. Pretty cool and emotional experience. How could I resist the day pre-purchase was made posible? Yikes! "2 more weeks"! :D
  2. I understand your choice. :) Mine is to try to use the plane the way it was used IRL. You might be interested by the operational suitability test of the F-86F, published by the Armed Services Technical Information Agency, date may 4th of 1953, which stated that: And So, in terms of simulation, manual pip control bombing makes sense IMHO. Here's a link to the operational suitability test: [url="http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/017568.pdf"]h[/url]ttp://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/017568.pdf #Edit: removed link because of preview bug.
  3. Hi all. While the manual pip system allows quite accurate bombings with the AN-M64 500 lb bombs, the M-117 750 lb ones made available since the latest update fall quite too long. This can not be considered as a bug. The M-117's and the AN-M64's ballistics seem to be credibly simulated, and, as a matter of fact, are different one from another. The system just needs a specific set of dials to be suitable for the use of the new M-117s with manual pip. I assume that the M-117s need to be released from a higher altitude than the AN-M64s to hit the target, all other things being equal. NB: I haven't yet tried the M-117s with the other aiming methods, but I'll soon give this a try to check the differences with AN-M64s.
