Diplocaulus Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 How do you tune in NDBs or any homing beacons from the Mustang? The manual doesn't seem to cover this very well, and no mention of NDBs.

Paradox Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Possibly it never will be for reasons unknown to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappavis Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Possibly it never will be for reasons unknown to me. Mustang isnt in Beta anymore, so ED is unlikley to implement it. met vriendelijke groet, Михель "умный, спортсмен, комсомолетс" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] [TABLE]SPECS: i9-9900K 32gigs RAM, Geforce 2070RTX, Creative XFi Fata1ity, TIR5, Valve Index & HP Reverb, HOTAS Warthog, Logitech G933 Headset, 10Tb storage.[/TABLE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diplocaulus Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I don't know how much of a role radio navigation played during WWII (there was of course Oboe and Gee, but I think that was more about ground operators verbally transmitting vectors to allied aircraft), but it would be awesome if at least some realistic radio features were implemented in ED's upcoming Normandy 1944. I don't know, did WWII fighter pilots rely mostly upon dead reckoning?

saburo_cz Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Only P-51D operating from IwoJima were equiped with AN/ARA-8 homing adapter (beacon was on on the island and several B-29 carried it). ADF receivers were used in C-B-I (Cina, Burma, India) and the most P-51D from 5th AF operating from Philippines and Okinawa were equiped with it. and beacons for Detrola were placed only in the USA, they were`t overseas, receiver was removed from the most planes in war zone Homing device ("UncleDog AN/ARA-8" and Detrola) were not used in Europe and ADF probably too. this is for WWII era, after war ...

Paradox Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I feel that we should be able to use the ADF systems that we have available to us. Perhaps not something like Detrola that would never have been seen in the Caucasus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's pretty much dead weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saburo_cz Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Any ideas on how operated in Korea with the F51D? probably withou any, according to some photo from Korea where Ponies do not have required antennas for these device but it does not mean that it (ADF) could be use in some planes So it's pretty much dead weight? no, weight of all these was not above 100 pounds together with wiring, it is nothing for plane with TO weight nearly 10000 pounds...
