nickexists Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 On the back panel there is a knob with eleven positions labeled 0-10. According to the manual this knob tells the weapons system which weapon you are using in order to get an accurate impact point calculation. The corresponding weapons for the first 6 settings are in the manual but settings 6-10 aren't described at all. I was wondering if anyone knows what they are used for. I assume that some of them are for bombs.
ED Team Raptor9 Posted March 16, 2014 ED Team Posted March 16, 2014 The Flight Manual bottom of page 6-94 and top of page 6-95 lists the usual weapon settings for Black Shark, but here's a complete list: 0 - S-8KOM High-Explosive and S-8OM Illumination rockets 1 - S-8TsM Smoke rockets 2 - S-13OF High-Explosive rockets 3 - SPARE (the manual says "S-24 heavy rockets. Not used") 4 - S-8OFP2 Fragmentation rockets 5 - UPK-23 Twin 23mm gun pods 6 - SPARE 7 - FAB-250 free-fall bombs 8 - FAB-500 free-fall bombs 9 - KMGU-2 AO-2.5RT HE Mines 10 - KMGU-2 PTAB 2.5KO I forget the sources that I compiled this list from, it's been a while. Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man. DCS Rotor-Head
nickexists Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks. This seems like something that should be written on the inside of the cockpit like the tower frequencies are.
