SilentGun Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 D: its like the poor jets heart needs replacing :( but anyway nice find! I've always wondered how these jets get new engines Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales... :)The Future of DCS is a bright one:)
mvsgas Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Cool thanks. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
mvsgas Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 D: its like the poor jets heart needs replacing :( but anyway nice find! I've always wondered how these jets get new engines Its fairly easy with a good crew of 4 people. It takes longer to take the panels off and inspect the engine bay before the new engine is installed.

Retu81 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Looks a lot easier process than in Mig-21. With Mig, you'll have to remove the whole rear fuselage: (Image from warbirdsnews.com)
sobek Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Is that some kind of new store holding that bomb? Or am i just so used to the looks of the A-10 pylons? Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
mvsgas Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Looks a lot easier process than in Mig-21. With Mig, you'll have to remove the whole rear fuselage: Way easier than that. Maybe a bit more than a dozen panel need to be remove, hardest one being the ventral fin panel. Four mounts for the engine ( skate mount on the top front, two thrust mounts, AKA "coke bottles" and a Side link, called "dog bone") One fuel connections ( PW has two more for cooling lines to the engine computer), three bleed air connections, one throttle cable, a PTO shaft and several cable canon plug connections. This may have some variations depending on the block ( They have different engine bays on block 25 to 32 when compare to 40 to 52) and different engines. Is that some kind of new store holding that bomb? Or am i just so used to the looks of the A-10 pylons? Not new, IIRC, is a BRU-57. To carry two JDAMS on one pylon.
