They are on the ever increasing never ending jobs list, but currently I have been called back to Uniform to help out over this COVID crisis.

Yeah its for the Falklands Map

It’s definitely an ED known bug see this post. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3493113&postcount=10 look at the bottom of the post at known issues.

The best bet for you on that one is to speak to JKAGary over at Flyingstations (you are a member there). he built the ones for FSX, I did the flight deck textures for him.

I was on the lusty 2005 til 2007 Still looking good, Think of it as Lego bricks, build the ramp as a entity of its own and then attach/collapse it to the flight deck.
-
Looking good, is it going to be the (S)Invincible or the Lusty??? As they were the only 2 with goalkeeper fitted.

this could probably make the AV-8 release, but is just a teaser (Look mum I do listen) ps I have a set of plans for USS Guam

I can't personally answer that one its all down to Ron and Larry.

Older jets that don't have MDC rely on one of 2 methods to scatter the glass/Perspex a spigot fitted to the top of the ejection seat or a steel rod that is fired upwards prior to the main seat gun igniting. 9the harrier uses this method also but attached to the steel rod is the stabilising parachute that 1 stabilises the seat and pulls the main parachute out of the head box.
-
The seat in the harrier is an offshoot of the Martin Baker mk10 seat with 0 0 capability, basically 0 speed 0 ft and at all attitudes relative to the height that is, with 0 speed there is no airflow to force the canopy up and to the rear. Thus the use of the MDC, from pulling the handle to the pilot hanging on his parachute 300 ft higher than the aircraft takes 1.5 seconds. The exception to this rule is if the pilot/seat is inverted or higher than 10,000 ft where the pilot remains with the seat on its emergency oxygen supply. The pilot does have a facility to manually separate from the seat if the point of ejection is in mountainous terrain higher than 10,000 ft.

The ECM/EW fit on the UK's Gr7/9's was the Marconi Zeus ECM system, a Plessey "Missile Approach Warning (MAW)" system, and Swedish Bofors BOL chaff dispensers. The Zeus included an RWR that could identify 1,000 different types of emitters and activate its self-defense jammer automatically to meet a specific threat. The MAW could automatically dispense chaff when a missile attack was detected.

AN/ALQ-126B provides E, F, G, H, I/J band coverage and implements several techniques effective against pulse mode and conical scanning radars. Delivering over 1 Kw of jam power per band in pulse mode, the AN/ALQ-126B modes include mainlobe blanking, inverse con-scan, range-gate pull-off and swept square wave which make it particularly potent against established Soviet conically scanning systems such as the SA-6/Straight Flush tracking/illuminating radar or the ZSU-23-4P/Gun Dish fire control radar. In a high threat environment the ALQ-126 would be supplemented with a Northrop AN/ALQ-162 Compass Sail/Clockwise continuous wave jammer which is effective against CW threats such as the SA-6 Gainful family of semi-active radar guided SAMs.

The AN/ALQ-126 Charger Blue is an electronic countermeasures (ECM) system manufactured by Sanders and evolved from the earlier AN/ALQ-100. It was originally developed by the US Navy Naval Air Systems Command for its Tactical Air Electronic Warfare programme. As such, the system was designed to provide wider frequency coverage (D through I-band - 1 to 10 GHz) than the service's earlier AN/ALQ-100 DECM equipment and was initiated in response to a range of new air and surface threats. While all US Navy and US Marine Corps aircraft carried internal AN/ALQ-126 defensive ECM equipment, the US Air Force had fallen behind with plans to fit the internal AN/ALQ-165 ASPJ DECM and had to rely on a somewhat diverse collection of AN/ALQ-131, AN/ALQ-184, AN/ALQ-119 and AN/ALQ-101 jamming pods to protect the F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt II and F-4 Phantom II. Description The AN/ALQ-126A/B is a trackbreaker defensive jammer effective against pulse mode threats. Exposure to SA-6B SAMs and other Continuous Wave threats necessitates the fitting of additional defensive jammers such as AN/ALQ-162. Combined with the AN/ALQ-162 continuous wave and pulse doppler jammer, the AN/ALQ-126 makes the AN/ALQ-164 jamming pod, used with the Boeing (McDonnell Douglas) AV-8B Harrier II.

As for low speed engagements the Argentinian airforce found out by accident about VIFFing (Vectoring in Forward Flight.

About 15 years ago I was a part of the Royal Navy's FA2 tech support team (which as a part of fixed wing future development requirements). When we were told of the demise of the SHar we made plans/talks with BaeSys at Dunsfold on a proposal to make the nose and the avionics racks behind the engine on the future Gr7/9 modular i.e. Depending on the aircrafts roll, it would take roughly 4 hours to remove the EO nose and fit the radar components and visa versa. We were informed by the RAF that it wouldn`t be cost effective because of their future plans in Maritime Strike.
