Dahlbeck Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Did the Viggen have an engine flame-out or what? :-D
TomCatMucDe Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Our lead FM engineer is responsible for both the poor carrier trap and the Viggen tease. Direct pitchforks in that direction. :D Poor carrier trap? You don't mean poor in performance right ? Cause the physics of the landing look impressive to me!
Tirak Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Our lead FM engineer is responsible for both the poor carrier trap and the Viggen tease. Direct pitchforks in that direction. :D The trap was bad because he was trying to give us good outside shots of the plane landing, next time give us a view from the Viggen cockpit so the poor man can focus on landing his plane on a postage stamp.
Goblin Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Did the Viggen have an engine flame-out or what? :-D Yeah! I don't know why DCS does that? I have never seen a big black exhaust cloud when you come out of afterburner, IRL.

Honestly, was expecting the gear to collapse, followed by bitchin betty saying "ENGINE LEFT, ENGINE RIGHT!" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pocket Sized Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Hehe, 5+ degree glideslope. Rip in pepperoni landing gear. Also we're seeing the first in game images of the Viggen from the cockpit of the less finished F-14. The Irony :lol: DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.

Heh, that's actually true. Since the tracks are broken, video recording is quite difficult, and it's actually all filmed "live" and spliced together.

joey45 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Tell you what.... I'll fly chopper you record from the copilot seat so we have great outside shot of the landing.... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Harry.R Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 I'll co and then we'll all get a good view ;)
ebabil Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 sorry for this stupid question but i didin't follow viggen topic. is this plane going to be released very soon? before f-14? if so why we haven't seen anything like screenshots or videos? is it a pr method? sorry again.

Cobra said soon, but check his last posts here for more detailed info: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2901554&postcount=2865 Definitely before f14. Viggen has been leaked by Steam pretty much. I do not think its a PR method. I think its a method to stop people from hyping the shit out of stuff and getting frustrated with it it not beeing released, while they think it _should_ be ready, because with their non software developer view they dont have a clue how ready something really is. I enjoy it, that way we dont have that many people DOS the usefull information flow here. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] *unexpected flight behaviour* Oh shiii*** ! What ? Why ? What is happening ?
renhanxue Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 get hype, etc The still classified chapter is on ECM and RWR, stuff about bk 90 and RBS 15 is in here 1
renhanxue Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Fpl AJS37 speciell förarinstruktion (SFI) del 3.pdf Enjoy! 1
renhanxue Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 No problems! Figured this might be interesting: Bk 90 engagement envelope. Dashed line is what could actually be reached from a purely kinematic standpoint; solid line is the simplified area shape used by the aircraft's computer for launch permission calculation purposes.

JaNk0 Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Reading the manual and amazed how complex this aircraft really is. Leatherneck, how much of the complex radar systems will be implemented in the sim? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
JaNk0 Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 What is it from high altitude, eg >20,000 feet? If i read correctly, 100 meters AGL and mach 0.9 respective 0.7. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
renhanxue Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 What is it from high altitude, eg >20,000 feet? Manual says not to launch it above 500m AGL. No idea why, though.

microvax Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Manual says not to launch it above 500m AGL. No idea why, though. Maybee because BK90 has a radar altimeter and that only works up to 500m ? But the graphs given should make range calcs from other altitudes doable. Kinda surprised expected 10km at 50m at mach 0.9. Thats the info I had so far, but well, not going to argue with the Manual, I guess. :D But I didnt see how to target it, so it could well be that the range in the graphs is for turn up to N degrees on final for release heading and the 10km is the range at which it will stall with given params. Would seem reasonable with 7.2km max range. Will be interesting to employ. 100m at 7.2 km is kinda dangerous at M0.9 for engaging any serious SAM systems. Question will probably be, how low you can release the thing. 20m at 4-5km seem way more attractive to me in that case. Question there is not really the range but, how low can you go, without getting into tunguska gun range. ;) Its indeed pretty complicated and HELL is it an complicated plane for early 1970s.

JaNk0 Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Manual says not to launch it above 500m AGL. No idea why, though. Could it have something to do with the radar? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
