  1. Well you know, if she wasn't leaking she didn't fly....lol With only four aircraft on the det and one usually being our hangar queen, they usually only got a hand wipe down with some piss can until we had a couple of no fly days in a row or a port availability. I sure do miss working on A-6 and EA-6 aircraft.
  2. Was on an airforce base two weeks ago. I assure you, though they wouldnt let me take a photo for you to see, they had warthog's. I was jealous. I still dont have one.
  3. The JTAC instructions are also based on the location of friendlies to the target and the given attack direction is usally to reduce civilian casualties and friendly fire while maximizing damage to the target.
  4. Well not exactly true. If the aircraft was modified from an A-10A then the buno would still be the same. If the aircraft was a new construction then you would be correct.
  5. Just an observation. I have played flight sims since flight simulator on the commadore 64. For a fixed wing sim this is the second hardest I have had to learn. Falcon 4.0 being the first. Landing a viper is a skill. From what I have read in your first post sounds to me like your throttles are not properly calibrated and giving you the correct thrust. I can wing down and hold 270 degrees of turn with out a drop out stall. check to see if you are getting the full 100 percent on the throttle. also check to see if you raised your flaps.
  6. Viper you sir are a wet blanket.... LOL
  7. Then I am assuming that it actually doesnt work fine. but instead works with errors which is why ED hasnt put it out yet... Just saying
  8. I do not miss hyperlobby at all. People tryying to fly a match and some a$$clown takes a spot and wont leave so you can fly. then you get all the nubs that wanna go in there and troll. Nope. Hyperlobby is not needed here.
  9. can you post a track for us to use to investigate this
  10. Point of reference the USS George Washington CVN-73 is 1344 feet from bow to stern. The landing area is 844 feet long. The F/A-18 can start at the tail and do a take off run with out a catapult on the angle deck. On the catapult the F?A-18 outruns the shuttle by the end of the shot.
  11. Ground power on the A-10C is for maintenance only. Never, repeat, NEVER is ground power used to start the aircraft. The APU is the source for starting the aircraft.
  12. no if you have a warthog you should not be doing the keyboard shortcut. it can create an error in the hardware telemetry
  13. change the axis for yaw to one of your rotary knobs.
  14. ok well Tacan is a full dulplex receiver transmitter. it can transmit and recieve simultaniously. The ground station or air station equipped with an ARN-84, 52 or 21 generates 1 Main Reference Burst and 8 Auxiliary reference bursts. The phase between the MRB and the ARB's gives the bearing to the receiving tacan set. your analysis was very close. The channels are indeed set 63 Mhz apart to provide one channel for bearing and one channel for distance. so a ground station set at channel 1 is transmitting distance info on channel 64. This is a little nit picky but to use an airplane tuned to 189 is wrong. the top channel on the set is 126. so the airplane would actually tune to channel 63. I am not sure if there is a doppler shift in air to air but i cant confirm it right now. I will look into it :)
  15. Thats not entirely accurate but close enough :) +rep from me
  16. The Hog uses the ARN-118 tacan set. In A-A mode it only will support distance and bearing. However here are the specifics. A-A between two ARN-118's is distance only. A-A between an ARN-118 and ARN-84, ARN-52 or ARN-21 will give both bearing and range. other wise the bearing needle will indeed spin clockwise with no bearing input for A-A mode between two ARN-118's (I.E. 2 hogs)
  17. if you have a hard preset flight path then the CDU interaction is minimal after aircraft start up. however. interactions with a Jtac and setting up runs the CDU is essential. Not important my foot.....
  18. pitot heat will not heat up the CADC. it only heats the pitot and static tubes to prevent icing. It is a heat element not air blown heat
  19. ED bumping this back for some input. still waiting
  20. you black out and become a flaming greasy spot. i think that is worse. Actually it can, you loose hand eye coordination, hallucinate things of that nature. search symptoms of hyposia.
  21. You sir are full of poop! at 8,000 feet hypoxia is possible. so flying at 20k with out oxygen.... whatever! unless I completely misunderstood
  22. {Babble} Sometimes its not terrorists. If an enemy in a conflict knew information on systems they could attempt to counter the use of that system. Inteligence is a nasty buisiness and alot of time we dont want to confirm what the enemy knows, things they may know, or wants to know. Its not the website that would get shutdown as it is the individual that can be harrassed or even charged and penalized. The goverment has already made it a punish ableoffense for military, govt employees and govt contractors to even goto the wiki leaks site on or off duty. Just food for thought. This was all referenced to the orignal request for info on things in the aircraft not in the manual and sim that are sensitive. Not my personal knowledge of the systems or what I will or will not give info too. {/Babble} :D
  23. that was the only reason i threw that out originally. not to hurt but to educate... funny pic though viper
  24. Well maybe so but uncle sam is kinda in a bit of a tizzy do to a certain website right now. I wouldnt want to be one to be made an example of right now...
  25. Blue way to over react dude Also when did you become the forum police? but don't worry I am not gonna give a rep minus for the obvious attack.
