Please keep us informed of the outcome of this request. Thanks.

Was in the BAE Systems Hind demonstrator a long time ago, it had a gunner controlled cannon that while not head tracking could be steered by the gunner using the imager which the gun was slaved to. They gave me a Hawk mug for my troubles and I should have a brochure on the Hind somewhere.

Don't diss my ring tone on my phone 633 Squadron theme tune has been my ringtone since you could first import midi tones to a Nokia phone in the 1990s

Yea heavens they are even older than mine! They are analogue not RS232, a similar 15pin D connector and mine are connected to a TM Cougar which has the analogue inputs on it for pedals. The Cougar replaced the TM FLCS/TQS which I used for many years. Been a while since I looked down there other than to vacuum every week

Picked other: Westland Whirlwind would be my first choice Crikey! Bf 110 would be my next Ju 87G would be a third choice

2 2 2 much

So where in all this does Airwolf fit in?

There is not an awful lot about the Mossie in the book, it's first half is more about the career of Don leading up to getting the Mossie and then leading to the incident at Wichita, but it does go into a good bit of detail about flying the aircraft and how the more experienced war time pilots flew it, with the difficulties of maintaining a high strung aircraft and a shortage of parts for it. One thing was that they did mention was the fact that the Packard Merlin for the Mosquito was not as strong an engine as the Rolls Royce version and that Packard did not implement the measures that Rolls Royce said they needed to do to strengthen the con rods.

As a cadet I got to sit in a Lightning cockpit while they ran through the controls and instruments for me ... if only it had the rest of the fuselage and engines behind the cockpit

I have a book Mosquito Racer about Don McVicar and him racing RCAF Mosquito KB377 (Build No. 1377) in the air races like at Reno. He bought the aircraft in 1948 for $1500CDN later registered as CF-FZG The aircraft broke down on it's way to it's first race and was abandoned at Wichita. She was eventually restored fitted with two engines out of a P51 then issued a new US registration No. N37878 and she finished 5th in the Bendix Air Race of Sept. 1949 Aerial Visuals - Airframe Dossier - de Havilland-de Havilland Canada Mosquito B.20, s/n KB377 RCAF, c/n 1377, c/r N37878 Mosquito Racer: Amazon.co.uk: McVicar, Don: 9780906393581: Books

Wot? No Vulcan, Valiant, and Victor?

I served my apprenticeship with Decca Navigation and Decca Radar Ltd installing and servicing Decca Navigators and Radars. The Decca Navigation Chain was first set up in WW2 and was used for the D-Day Landings in Normandy to give a precision navigation ability to ships to clear the minefields The Decca system was also used on aircraft with a moving map display but that was in 1949.

633 Squadron has been my ringtone of choice for more than 20 years now

Do you have this?

yeah but id we don't point out the limitations of this new version of the forum how will they know to fix them?

yeah it's tiny on a 4k monitor and there is so much wasted space on either side, plus if you swap to one of the other styles the forum gets even smaller. This is not the best implementation of a forum and recently it seems a a good few others are doing the same :(

That makes it an even bigger waste of space at each side Why break something that was working ?

Made payment here too today via PayPal, it has not shown up on PayPal or bank account yet tho. The Store has done this before, a long time ago, I will give it a day and see if it changes status.

Options, options, options F.53

I second this request

Yeah we have a few, Heusden-Zolder, Zwaartberg but none of those are on the map

Sensors arrived and installed Smmmooooothtm Now to get the muscle memory back, it's been a while since I used the Cougar

i9 9900k, 64GB RAM, RTX 2080super Samsung 970 1TB system and 970 1TB drive for DCS and one other power hungry space game no stutters at all so far, its been so smooth that I have not bothered to check what fps I get.

I remember when I got my TM FLCS, TQS and TM Elite pedals all those many years ago and how much a difference it made to flying the F-16 in that other sim then PC hardware moved on and the FLCS/TQS no longer worked properly it jittered all over the place and even using a TM analogue Joystick interface no longer could compensate for the higher clock frequencies of the new CPUs I splashed out on a TM Cougar which still sits on my desk awaiting the new sensors for the X & Y axis' I have one spare pot for the throttle which I jealously guard, it does also work in the Joystick but as I don't have two I'm going with MWSims' sensor kit Having the buttons all mapped and TrackIR Pro to look around makes it a great experience flying in DCS.

^^^ This You can re-map it in TrackIR and have different profiles for different sims/games
