  1. Been waiting for this! Finally here and I love it. Just wish ED would make other pilots beside the Caucasian male. Always have to edit the .dds file to make my pilot look like me. Not a big deal, just an observation.

  2. Those are GBU-12s being loaded in the video. The bomb body IS a BDU-50, but once the CCG and fins are installed, it becomes a GBU-12.

     

    I'm an F-16C weapons load tech, so I'm just dropping you some knowledge my friend.

    I love when someone taunt their years of working the jets. So since we went there, I have over 20 years on the F-16. It is not possible to over wing the 370 gallon fuel tanks from just the nose cap point. That was the point I was trying to make. The 370 gallon tank is sectioned off in three parts. The spill over tube which allows fuel from the nose to go to the aft section sits above the lowest point of the cap opening. So no matter how gingerly you operate the refueling nozzle, you will not fill the entire external tank via the nose cap. In order to accomplish an over the wing one must use all the points and fill each one individually.
     


     

    I love it too @ Panther. I also have over 20 active duty years on Vipers as a Weapons Troop and still work them as a contractor here at Luke. When I OP’d this thread, I thought I would share something that was told to me by a member of my VFS who is also a Viper Crew Chief. I had no idea that was actually how it works IRL. I’ve done thousands of ICTs and didn’t know that they opened the door to Hotpit. How would I, I’m a weapons troop right? Thanks for teaching this old guy something. Knowledge is power!

  4. There is a work around for refueling the jet on the ground with empty external tanks. Open the refueling door, and ask for refuel. The tanks will start to take on fuel. I don’t know if it works for other jets. I was told this by a squadron mate, and it works. Give it a try. Hope it helps.

    Hi,

     

    the team had a break until the 11th, and we need time to complete some work and test the builds, if all goes to plan the next update will be the 27th of January 

     

    thanks

    Will that update include the new clouds, or just the Hornet features? Either way, I’m looking forward.
