Blaze1 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Stupid LVS is out.... What's that when it's at home?
Rainmaker Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 What's that when it's at home? LVS = Left Vertical Stab light. It’s a running joke because the bulbs for those are POSs.
Blaze1 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) LVS = Left Vertical Stab light. It’s a running joke because the bulbs for those are POSs. I see. In peace time would that lead to an abort? Edited March 9, 2019 by Blaze1
Rainmaker Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I see. In peace would that lead to an abort? No, the RVS would however...unless they have changed the requirements again.
bies Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 What will be F-15E standard? Late '80 / operation Desert Storm or later? Cheers and good luck
Blaze1 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Gulf War II pics It looks like a travel pod on the centreline, but that can't be right given the other stores being carried or can it?
Rainmaker Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 It looks like a travel pod on the centreline, but that can't be right given the other stores being carried or can it? Datalink pod.
Blaze1 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Datalink pod. A-ha :thumbup: The surface of the travel pod isn't as smooth so that should've been a give away. None of those jets are carrying the GBU-15/AGM-130 series weapons, so are there other reasons for carrying the D/L pods or are the GBU-15/AGM-130 loaded on a different aircraft (unseen) within the flight?

It’s been 16 years (to the day pretty much), so I’m not going to claim to remember the exact reason. We had some jets on alert in case they had intel about some of the HVTs (think the deck of cards) that were loaded with AGM-130s. They were basically “no fail” missions so there were extra tails with pods in case they needed spares had the prime aircraft broke. That may/may not have been why those still had them on there. We dropped a few 130s at the start, but they were not dropped on a continuous basis as they were not really necessary.

Beamscanner Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 V(2/3) are AESA radars. The V(1) was the last MSA iteration - we were not discussing AESA as there is no APG-70 equivalent AFAIK. APG-82 is replacing APG-70 https://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/apg82v1
RShackleford Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 APG-82 is replacing APG-70 https://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/apg82v1 APG-82 has far more in common with APG-63(v3) than APG-70.
River Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Can anyone give me a heads up on the F 15 please, didn't read the whole thread. Is it confirmed ? What version do we get ? Estimated release date ? Thx Edited March 21, 2019 by River
Rainmaker Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 @RShackleford @Klarsnow Pretty easy to tell where this photo was taken. Lol Aircrew gonna aircrew... Working on the post marshall salute?!? Didn’t know hours were that hard to come by. Offtopic...but on topic.
Hatefury Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 River the 15 was confirmed last year. No estimate on release at this time. It sounds as if a lot of the artwork has been done but lots and lots of coding still required.
CarbonFox Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 The Strike Eagle is going to be a complex module especially with simulating the A-G radar. Not expecting to see it for awhile. F/A-18C; A-10C; F-14B; Mirage 2000C; A-4E; F-16C; Flaming Cliffs 3
Fri13 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 PASS is (Passive Attack Sensor System), it combines PAD, Sniper, DVR (Digital Video Recorder) to control recorded and live video imagery from various onboard sources and EMD (Engine Monitor Display). FPCI is the (Flat Panel Control Indicator) and is basically an updated version of the Navigation Control Indicator (NCI) VSRD is the (Vertical Situation Display Replacement) There's also FPCDV (Flat Panel Color Display Variant) which is basically an updated MPCD. Thank You, a lot, for opening up all those acronyms! Too many is always believing that everyone who reads something knows all the acronyms, and using those acronyms opened means that it is easier to understand the discussion when it is not jargon. Sure, when a pilots and engineers talks, they can use as much they want all the jargon, like lawyers can use their jargon about case who v. who, but for common sense all the acronyms should be opened at least first, before referring using those. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Eagle7907 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Is the plan still to complete Harrier and Mirage before this project gets going again? Wondering because the news updates have changed like the seasons. All the news I get is the change logs.
