Hummingbird Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Petter 11, commemorating the disbanding of the 16th air wing out of Uppsala. Someone make this skin for the Viggen once it arrives please! :pilotfly: Man that looks cool!:smoke:
mattebubben Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I also worked in the heavy maintenance workshop one summer, and did a school project about quality control in the Airforce. I really wanted to be an Airforce engineer. Flying was out of the question because of both hearing and eyesight. I ended up as a commercial pilot instead And yeah, I'm really excited about a DCS level 37!! I went back to F15 last summer and tried the simulator at the museum. It was really cool! Where you from? Close to Söderhamn or? Was at the F15 museum last year aswell did not plan ahead enough to schedual time at the simulator. Edited January 21, 2016 by mattebubben

streakeagle Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I will happily buy the AJS-37 Viggen. It is an amazing aircraft and will be fun to fly. But I am an air-to-air fan. I am more interested in the Draken and JA-37 Viggen. I would hope that the differences between the JA-37 and AJS-37 would be small enough that LNS would find developing and releasing a JA-37 to be a profitable choice. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Goblin Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Where you from? Bollnäs, so just a 40min drive away. Nowdays I live in northern Norway. Was at the F15 museum last year aswell did not plan ahead enough to schedual time at the simulator. One has got to schedule several months in advance. Quite popular. The FSX/P3D engine is showing it's age and limitations though. Maybe they can switch to DCS once this module is released. :)
RaXha Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 4x rb 75 (Maverick) Love this one! And it's so high res! :D
BravoYankee4 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Love this one! And it's so high res! :D The only problem with the picture is that the plane should be flying approximately one or two thousand meters below ;)
RaXha Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 The only problem with the picture is that the plane should be flying approximately one or two thousand meters below ;) This is true! Those mavericks are pretty useless up there! :joystick:
MBot Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Great pictures of armed Viggens, keep them comming. I always had the impressions that the Viggen is a massive aircraft, but compared to the large size of those Mavericks it is apparently rather small.
RaXha Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Great pictures of armed Viggens, keep them comming. I always had the impressions that the Viggen is a massive aircraft, but compared to the large size of those Mavericks it is apparently rather small. Depends what you compare it to. It is slightly bigger than the F-16 (~1m longer, and ~0,5m wider at the wingtips). The Viggen has a higher maximum take off weight though, by ~3 tonnes. The Viggen has a wingspan of ~10.5m, and a length of ~16.5m. Engine power is also almost identical to that of the F-16. :-) One big difference is that the wing area of the Viggen is a lot larger than that of the F-16, 46m2 compared to the F-16's 28m2. :-) It's probably perceived as big in videos and photos because it looks very bulky and muscular compared to the lean skinny F-16 or Gripen (that is slightly smaller that the two). Is use the F-16 as a comparison because to me the F-16 always looked a lot smaller than it actually is. :P Edited January 22, 2016 by RaXha

Cik Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 FYI, the maverick is an exceptional AA weapon in DCS, because it is not vulnerable to flares and maneuvers better than the AIM-9 IIRC source: i shot down a su-25 once with one in an A-10 after it effortlessly kicked out like 2 flares and spoofed my sidewinders.

A-10A or A-10C? I can't get mavs to fire at air targets in the 10C, even when they've successfully locked on to the enemy plane.

I always had the impressions that the Viggen is a massive aircraft, but compared to the large size of those Mavericks it is apparently rather small. Like Raxha said the Viggen is alot smaller then it what seem like since it looks a bit bulky. For a DCS scale comparison its slightly smaller then the Mig-29 (its between F-16 and Mig-29 size wise) Its a bit taller then the Mig-29 but other then height its smaller in general and is also 1.5 tonnes lighter then the mig-29 is. So while its larger then a Small fighter like a Mig-21 or a F-16 etc its no larger then most other "mid sized" fighters.
dartuil Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 AJS37 with 2 RB74 (AIM-9L) and 4 RB24J (AIM-9J). The outer pylons (that became operational with the AJS upgrade) was intended for the RB28 Falcon missiles. The RB28 was also a IR missile but with longer range (than the Sidewinder) and better suited for high altitude. It was originally procured for the J35 Draken and license built by Saab. The seeker had a much longer preparation time (cooling) and was later regarded as not to be used on the AJ37, rendering the outer pylons unused. Its how i like viggen!!! http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=130721&d=1450573849 i7 2600k -- Noctua NH-D14--Asrock Z75 Pro3--ASUS GTX970 Strix --16Go Ripjaws X 1333--Thermaltake Smart M650--CoolerMaster Silencio 652S--AOC E2752VQ-- Sandisk Extreme II 480GB--Saitek X-52 Pro --SAITEK PZ35 Pedals
ScapaFlow Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) If you like to dogfight without flares or chaff, sure. Otherwise it's 5 heaters and a pod. AJ-37 easily had enough power to handle duo/triple pylons for Mavericks and Sidewinders. Sadly for DCS airquake, it didn't get them. Now in an environment with heavy enemy SAM/AAA (not these soft DCS A-10C missions without long-range SAM or enemy fighters...), 4 Mavericks would be more than enough for a quick strike before you have to run away.

Skjold Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Hopefully we get to fly the Viggen relativly shortly :-D
dartuil Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Where will go the chaf pod? i7 2600k -- Noctua NH-D14--Asrock Z75 Pro3--ASUS GTX970 Strix --16Go Ripjaws X 1333--Thermaltake Smart M650--CoolerMaster Silencio 652S--AOC E2752VQ-- Sandisk Extreme II 480GB--Saitek X-52 Pro --SAITEK PZ35 Pedals
Skjold Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Where will go the chaf pod? Keep in mind that it is the AJ, not the AJS and that some weapons aren't listed, but wing pylons as you can see motmodel = countermeasures arakkapsel = rocket pod extratank = fuel tank I wonder if LN will actually include the Falcon? It was wired to use it, just never did really. Could be an interesting missile to use.

The falcon would indeed be interesting, but I wouldn't want to face down anything more capable than an F-86 with it. It was notoriously bad compared to the AIM-9.
ScapaFlow Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 It was more of an anti-bomber weapon. The warhead was something like twice as heavy as the Sidewinder's.
