WildBillKelsoe Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 In Mig-21 devs were kind to include Inch mercury to altimeter conversion chart. Can we get one in L-39C? Thanks AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
WildBillKelsoe Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 Actually scratch that. It is easy to calculate.

1.JaVA_Platypus Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Or use the F2 view and set your altimeter accordingly. :D Happy Flying! :pilotfly:
WildBillKelsoe Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 I do! But only in level flight. The switch is simple. OK, here is something I don't know: If AWACS reports a contact, at 7000, is that MSL or AGL? feet or meters? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below.

Always MSL, don't know the units though, probably depends on whether it's red or blue AWACS.

WildBillKelsoe Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 hmm... source? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below.

gospadin Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 hmm... source? Just logic. If AWACS is directing you to a moving target, the target's AGL is going to continuously fluctuate based on the ground height immediately below them. The AWACS cannot update this continuously, by potentially many thousands of feet. As such, you need a stable altitude reference (MSL) so the interceptors know where to point their radars.

WildBillKelsoe Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 Well there seem to be a discrepancy between reported AWAC altitude and real altitude. The AWAC reports 500 feet extra.

Sent from my SM-T231 using Tapatalk Are you adjusting your air pressure offset? Maybe the AWACS is using 29.92 because they're above 18,000 and you're not?

Stealth_HR Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Also, just as a side-note, Russian/Soviet/WP aircraft don't use milibars, they use mmHg. But I digress... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Real men fly ground attack :pilotfly: where EVERYTHING wants a piece of you :D

WildBillKelsoe Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 also, I just discovered Russian altimeters use Torr, not inHg or mb. Moderators please correct title to reflect unit.

WildBillKelsoe Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 but the text should indicate altitude, regardless. plus 500 feet less means I have to be lower to see him against a sky background (ala Boelke) In fairness I'll try different clear areas and pinpoint the problem.
