Schmidtfire Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 JA37 might happen as a "lighter" FC3 type module down the line. Way more interesting than the two seaters.

QuiGon Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I was under the impression ED have said they were against any more FC3 type modules being produced? They said they themselves won't produce any FC3 type modules anymore. 3rd parties are free to do that afaik.

QuiGon Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Mid-late 90's. The national archives library catalog says the technical description was published in 1998, so probably around that time. Which reminds me, I should go photograph that. Development mostly complete by 1991, final series production deliveries in spring 1997. Also, you know the submunition designations, MJ1 and MJ2? They're Inception acronyms, because MJ expands to MUSJAS which expands to Multi Splitter JAS (and JAS expands to Jakt Attack Spaning, as we all know). Surely you must be joking, FMV. Gonna post the Bk90 systems description in a bit. Thank you very much! :) Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Pocket Sized Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I just realized the Rb-05 will be the first man-in-the-loop weapon in DCS. 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.
2-niner Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I just realized the Rb-05 will be the first man-in-the-loop weapon in DCS. I wouldn't recommend doing a loop while firing the RB 05.

JNelson Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I just realized the Rb-05 will be the first man-in-the-loop weapon in DCS. Surely the gazelle has this with it's HOT 3 missiles. Edit as far as I understand the RB05 is just a radio controlled TOW missile. Community A-4E-C
Pocket Sized Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Surely the gazelle has this with it's HOT 3 missiles. Edit as far as I understand the RB05 is just a radio controlled TOW missile. True, but it's the only one in which the operator is sending steering commands directly to the missile as opposed to the TOW/beam riders where the missile flies itself into the center of the crosshair.

RAZBAM_ELMO Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 09 could be December the 9th release. Announcement on the 28th videos and pre release buy on the 11th then aircraft release on the 9th Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane.

Custard Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Surely the gazelle has this with it's HOT 3 missiles. Edit as far as I understand the RB05 is just a radio controlled TOW missile. It's MCLOS, not SACLOS. Unlike the HOT & TOW you don't just look at the target and have the missile steer itself towards whatever you aim at. The Rb 05 is more like the Bullpup, the pilot steers it directly with a little controller transmitting left-right-up-down commands to the missile via radio. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Pocket Sized Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 It is often cited the Viggen can operate from a 500m airstrip. Earlier in the thread somebody mentioned the reverser can be used with afterburner in an emergency. I wonder just how short we can make the landing roll if we really try ;) DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule.

renhanxue Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 It is often cited the Viggen can operate from a 500m airstrip. Earlier in the thread somebody mentioned the reverser can be used with afterburner in an emergency. I wonder just how short we can make the landing roll if we really try I'm not sure if you can actually do that, though. The AJS 37 SFI does say that "using the AB while reversing causes heat damage to the aircraft" but the JA 37 SFI simply says reversing is only possible up to MIL power. IIRC from talking to a former Viggen mechanic I think there's supposed to be a safety interlock somewhere but I can't find it in the SFI's. Reversing does muck around with the afterburner fuel control unit so there could easily be a lockout there.
iLOVEwindmills Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Good catch! I though it was guided too. I will remove the guidance on the MJ2s. So what exactly does this imply for its usage? Do you mean it's not sensorfused?
robban75 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 It is often cited the Viggen can operate from a 500m airstrip. Earlier in the thread somebody mentioned the reverser can be used with afterburner in an emergency. I wonder just how short we can make the landing roll if we really try ;) I don't know if this is true or not, but many years ago I was told that around 30% of thrust was used for breaking. Even though the doors for the reverser is made of titanium I doubt they can withstand 11800 kp of thrust. The vibrations would be severe, and then there's the heat. Cracks in the aft fuselage titanium parts were not uncommon, AFAIK. :)
PitbullVicious Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) May i ask a general question for non swedes. What makes you guys the most interested / excited about this AJS-37 Module? Since its obvious for most swedes why we want it and love it but there are so many none swedes looking forward to it im curious what in particular makes you guys interesting in this aircraft. A bit old post, but as I just spent few last weeks reading this rather long and interesting thread (with a lot of dedicated enthusiasm, excellent documentation and love from the Viggen fans) in its entirety. Considering the attention to details with the MiG-21bis module, I can't but to jump the hype train. Especially after that beautiful teaser that was just released. The plane itself seems very interesting. Very different from anything else in DCS at the moment, in both technology and tactics and deployment, and for me it is a big plus :) Can't wait to figure her and her systems and weapons out. And in the end, as a Finn I might be grouped together with the Swedes anyway by people looking from the other side of Pacific or from where I'm currently located. For you here're two short videos demonstrating the difference: Finns according to the Swedish: Javla svenskarna according to the Finns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0iH6jke01k (I have nothing but love for my neighbours :D ) Men jag har glomt nastan alla min svenska...

mattebubben Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Despite the often heard "Its ugly" I have to say that in my eyes this is one sexy looking bird. As a Swede and a Viggen lover i here by nominate you a honorary Swede. Anybody who sees the beauty of the Viggen (The Sexiest bird ever to float in the sky in my opinion ^^) is worthy to be a honorary Swede ^^.
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 The Viggen is a divisive bird. It comes down to one of two positions: You either A.) Think it's ugly, or B.) You're correct.
