Yes, I am requesting a device. Remind me what’s the cost to the US?

I’m in from the States. Let me know what I need to do.

It often occurs when the AWG is placed into standby.

:megalol:

That's gonna be a no from me Dawg

likely a scam. The good thing is they use PayPal for checkout so one could risk it, and try for a reversal once your scammed, or you get a stupid deal on a Warthog.

I was on the LMDF server last night and saw something like that happen twice and couldn't figure out what happened. Twice a P-47 got bounced and the Gerr killed each 47 with a short burst with no apparent damage to the AC.

Lern to AAR with this one easy trick. Learn to fly formation, trim whatever you're flying to stay stable if you take your hands off the stick ( doesn't have to stay stable for hours just a few long moments, then plug. Until you can fly close formation you cannot AAR.

OK Mr. Picky-Pants 15*, 15 Units, just slap the DLC to pick a wire :megalol:

Because the LSO doesn't know you're a Tomcat. He's calling everything like it's a Hornet so your 15* approach is going to be slow compared to the Hornets 8*.

When you do plug you still need to watch that trim and your throttle positions. The Turkey is so well modeled that the center of balance (?) will change as fuel comes aboard, certainly if you're filling the drops. I suppose you don't really need to get away from combat. If you can practice with a human wing man you can fly in a decent close formation before you need to spread or do whatever. What really helped me was watching a video RainWaters posted to his instagram. It was a shot from a gopro looking across the cockpit of an F-5 or T-38 flying close formation on a U-2. The pilot worked that throttle constantly and only made fingertip corrections with the stick or a small pop on the trim hat.

You have to learn to fly formation on the tanker. If you cannot do that you cannot refuel. It may sound like a broken record, but it's the truth and it is that simple. Spend a week flying on the wing of a tanker or in MP with a buddy. If you can stay in a half asses parade formation you can plug and refuel.

My wingman and I experienced this bug twice each in two days. Seems to becoming more common. The only way we could fix it was a full restart of DCS.

There were 12+ guys all ready on the ramp this weekend on the Forgotten War server weekly mission. That was a really good time, moving off in three, four ship sections to attack a rail depot.

I mean we are arguing about the ammunition and it's velocity meanwhile links provided have shown the published velocity for the weapon. The velocities are attempted to remain constant so weapon sight's don't always need to be recalibrate when changing from training ammo to service. But hey, the published information from the Air Force Museum isn't good enough and we don't know what manual ED is looking at saying this is gold. I guarantee they don't have a SME that was a crew chief in Korea telling then this is the stuff we loaded.

Is ED in agreement that the F-86F was armed with the Browning AN/M3 Aircraft Machine Gun or is argued by ED that the F-86F was armed with the M2HB Heavy Machine Gun? The other thing is the AIM-9B was not used operationally during the Korean War. By the introduction of the AIM-9B the stocks of WW2 standard M2 Ball were long gone as the P/F-51 was out of service.

A phone call or email to the curator will yield easy primary resources. https://www.inetres.com/gp/military/infantry/mg/50_ammo.html And another nice page discussing the different .50 caliber ammunition. http://quanonline.com/training-manuals/fifty/fifty-2.html Excerpt from the AN/M3 Manual AMMUNITION 118. General. The information in this section, pertaining to the several types of cartridges authorized for use in this machine gun, includes a description of the cartridges, means of identification, care, use, and ballistic data. Detailed information pertaining to small-arms ammunition is contained in TM 9-1990. 119. Classification. a. Based upon type of bullet and use, the ammunition for this machine gun is classified as armor-piercing, armor-piercing-incendiary, armor-piercing-incindiary-tracer, ball, incendiary, tracer, headlight tracer, and dummy. b. Armor-piercing cartridges are for use against armored aircraft and lightly armored vehicles, concrete shelters, and other bullet-resisting targets. The bullet consists of three parts: a gilding metal jacket, a hardened core of tungsten-chrome or manganese-molybdenum steel, and a point filler of an antimony-lead alloy. The overall length of the bullet is 2.31 inches. c. Armor-piercing-incerrcliary cartridges are for use against targets where the armor-piercing and incendiary effects are both desired. The bullet is similar to the armor-piercing bullet, except that the point filler is replaced by an incendiary composition. The length of the bullet is 2.31 inches for the API cartridge M8 and is 1.935 inches for the API cartridge T49. d. Armor-piercing-incendiary-tracer cartridges are for use as in "c" above, with the tracer added to reveal the path of the bullet. e. Ball cartridges are for use against personnel and light material targets. The bullet consists of three parts : a gilding metal jacket, a soft steel core, and a point filler of an antimony-lead alloy. The overall length of the bullet is 2.31 inches. f. Incendiary cartridges are for use against flammable targets, especially fuel and oil systems on aircraft and vehicles. The bullet consists of a gilding metal jacket, a hollow cylindrical steel body, a leadantimony base slug, and a core and point filler of incendiary composition. The bullet is 2.35 inches long. g. Tracer cartridges are used to reveal the path of the bullet. Secondary purposes are for incendiary effect and for signaling. The bullet consists of three parts: a gilding metal jacket or a gilding metalclad steel jacket, a hardened lead slug that fills the forward end of the jacket, and tracer and igniter compositions that fill the balance. Unlike the bullets for the armor-piercing and ball cartridges, this bullet. is cylindrical to the base. The base is open to permit the propelling charge to ignite the tracer composition. h. Headlight tracer cartridges are similar to tracer cartridges except that the trace is appruximutely three times more brilliant when viewed from the front than the tracer cartridge described in "g" above. i. Dumny cartridges are for use in training. They may also be used for testing the mechanism of the gun. The bullet consists of a gilding metal jacket or gilding metal-clad steel jacket only. The bullet is 2.40 inches long and has a cylindrica1 base.

9Line, Thank you from all of us for looking into this and really working with our small community. We all really appreciate it.

Thomas McKelvey, I listened to the audio book so I can’t quiet find the page numbers yet. I think I might have another source once I can find my copy of Wagner.

In MIG Alley the author mentions that early in 1950 the A models were changed from M2 guns to M3 with the M33 ball and it’s HV Tracer and it remained the standard for the rest of the war.

I don’t believe so. My fuel gauge worked perfect last night. That being said I did have a compressor stall while in the furball that I’ve never experienced before. I was rocking the throttle too hard and probably some damage after eating a 23mm shell. It was awesome.

It was good flying with you last night [ZIPPO], that last MiG was a puzzle with all of that energy. My neck was getting tired last night trying to track him in those endless loops.

I spent a couple of hours on the server last night and it was amazing. The mission is well build and a nice change from the Hornet and dropping JDAMs or using off bore 9X's to shoot down MiG's.

I know we don't get much action in this sub, but I've been flying my F-86 a lot lately on the new 5.6 patch and the gas gauge is moving just fine.
