No AWACS available at the time. I wasn't looking at the radar repeater, I was watching them visually.

Yesterday evening I was trying to play multiplayer, but SRS wouldn't automatically join the server (a different frustration) and I was short on time so I built a quick mission. All fighters and attack jets over Nevada, clouds at around 5,000 feet and another layer around 20,000. Mission starts, I see several MiG-29s off to my right. I climb, roll right and come level with them. I'm 10-11 miles to their rear. The flight of 4 Migs doesn't know I'm there. MiGs are in a left turn, I'm holding them at about my 11 o'clock and closing. I ask Jester to lock up the enemy ahead, "Can't do that.", I ask to lock the aircraft ahead, "Sorry boss." I slowed back because I want to use my sparrows before closing with sidewinders. I continue to ask Jester to lock the targets and I get nothing. I finally get to 5 miles and lock them myself. I usually don't have an issue with Jester, but this one has me stumped, if anyone has a suggestion it will be appreciated.

Does the anti-collision light stay on at night for cat shots? We turn either turn off our anti-collision light or will turn off the lower anti-collision light when operating on the trees to avoid the inconsistent shadows thrown by the lights causing an issue with pilots.

Really looking forward to Jester changing waypoints in Zone 5. Will Jester handle the TACAN too? Can I over ride Jester's navigation and set the waypoint/TACAN manually?

As the title says did anyone else watch the Smithsonian Channel's F-14 Episode of Air Warriors? I thought the first 30 minutes or so was pretty good, but was unimpressed with the second half of the episode. The use of Jessica Biel's Ejection from Stealth was particularly bad. I also didn't like how the episode kept talking about the great engines in the D without even acknowledging the A+/B even existed. Anyone else annoyed?

And the Stennis if you have the SC module.

That is correct the MMS was removed for the contact and manual throttle phases of flight training. The skin with the orange doors and large white letters and numbers on the side are indicative of a Rucker paint scheme.

Are you ready to not be condescending? I asked a question, I didn't ask for a lecture.

Thank you

Tell me more about this time before miles? Was it magical? Did you have to hand crank your PC to start it? You aren't the only one that has been around a while. Miles could be applied without it costing RAZBAM a thing, the miles could be something on ED's side that is used to encourage further purchases from the fan base, especially on older, less popular modules. I simply wasn't sure exactly how the miles program worked on the ED side. I know how it works on mine.

Thanks, let me clarify, do I need to delete simshaker for aviators before updating simshaker for aviators?

Hovering gets you killed. By flying towards the target you continue to maintain some movement to make targeting you harder and you maintain airspeed to provide for your own maneuverability to escape after you have made your attack. If someone else is providing your laser you may be able to use terrain to your advantage to hide, but if you are self designating you have to expose yourself to enemy fire to target and maintain your laser.

Do I need to delete Simshaker for Aviators before downloading the update?

Ok, I wasn't sure who took the loss on the module, for some reason I assumed ED. I should have known better.

What does RAXBAM gain by opting out of the miles program?

I was hoping for news on the Supercarrier, particularly the additional deck handlers. Unless you're a squadron the other updates don't matter.

Never tested ADAIK on a US Kiowa and for sure never used as part of a weapons load. Interestingly it looks like the Tunisians changed the tail numbers.

That's an A/C not a D.

If it was cold enough and at a low altitude (sea level) and you dumped enough fuel, you can do 4 Hellfires. It's feasible, but you have to have the right environment and be willing to reduce your loiter time.

Usually a single hellfire and either the M3P or rockets.

I flew an incoming module, the OH-58D and now I fly UH-60Ls.

The laser for the MMS (or the one on the Apache or anything else designating a target for a laser guided missile/bomb) cannot be seen by the naked eye or under NVGs. You just know that you boresited the laser before take off and know where the crosshair is on your screen and your missile bomb (if in the right mode) is picking up properly coded laser energy (PCLE). I think the confusion comes from movies/ tv shows (I'm looking at you JAG) where they show the lasers. We had a laser on the .50 cal (which i personally didn't use much) and we carried an IZLID laser pointer in the cockpit too (I also saw some handheld lasers that could be put on kind of like a glove missing fingers and you could point with your index finger with an laser emitter, I didn't use them) The laser on the gun (also an IZLID) and the hand held IZLID could both be seen under NVGs, but could not be seen by the TIS in the helicopter.

THe KW's organic weapons are for self defense. There are also defensive missions for a KW, Screening, Guarding and Covering are all defensive operations.

The services do exchange tours in which pilots can fly with other services and the air forces of other nations. It is possible for a USMC pilot to be flying and USAF jet. Example... CPT Charles Magill
