Darkbrotherhood7 Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) The pilot is using the Scorpion HMD I think. Edited September 9, 2016 by Darkbrotherhood7 Mission: "To intercept and destroy aircraft and airborne missiles in all weather conditions in order to establish and maintain air superiority in a designated area. To deliver air-to-ground ordnance on time in any weather condition. And to provide tactical reconaissance imagery" - F-14 Tomcat Roll Call [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mvsgas Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) As I posted here; https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2888473&postcount=141 It seems US ANG updated block 30 use the Scorpion helmet. You can also tell the difference because instead of having the "sensor" on the left side of the canopy, the sensor is on the top. Also the helmet wire is routed differently.

Vitormouraa Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Yes, that's the Scorpion, same of the A-10C Suite 7B+. The Sensor for the HMCS in the A-10C is close to the Lightning Stripe at the Canopy, the F-16 I don't know. Edited September 9, 2016 by Vitormouraa SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com
Sweep Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Can I just confirm we are on the same page here TER (e.g. BRU-42) = Triple Ejector rack (carried 3 x MK-82) - very common on F-16s over the years (STAR is another type I think might be in use) MER (e.g. BRU-41) = Multiple Ejector Rack (Carried 6 x MK-82) - seldom seen Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Oops. 1 Lord of Salt
mvsgas Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 The wreckage of F-16C, 86-0275, formerly of the 35 FS, 8 FW, seen in a C-Pad shelter at Kunsan AB, ROK. I was the leader of a team of 8 FW personnel dubbed the "Wolfpack Wrecking Crew" assigned to dispose of this aircraft and an unused F-101F ABDR aircraft. We cut the aircraft into managable pieces so they could be hauled off to a scrapper. In poor weather this F-16 landed on top of F-16C (87-0335) which was trying to take off . Pilot Lt. Col. Ralph Earl "Bark" Gardner who had just arrived at Kunsan AB, Korea from MacDill AFB was killed. The 56th FW which was closing down had just enough aircraft to fly for his memorial. http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16/airframe-profile/2058/ To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Pocket Sized Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Wow! 9+ G's on the flyup. Anyone know what "knock it off" means? 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.
mvsgas Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Wow! 9+ G's on the flyup. Anyone know what "knock it off" means? Basically stop. One pilot says "knock it off" in a formation, no matter the rank or flight position, everyone must echo the "knock it off" call and reform. Normally used to terminate a training scenario or if some see something unsafe. Basically a reset button. IAW AFI 11-214 3.4. Knock-It-Off (KIO) and Terminate Procedures. Use KIO or Terminate procedures to direct aircraft or aircrew to stop engagements, scenarios and tactical maneuvering. 3.4.1. KIO Procedures. A KIO call ceases all tactical maneuvering and ends the overall scenario. Use KIO procedures for the following: 3.4.1.1. If safety of flight is a factor. 3.4.1.1.1. A dangerous situation is developing. 3.4.1.1.2. An unbriefed or unscheduled flight enters the working area and is detrimental to the safe conduct of the mission. 3.4.1.1.3. Weather below minimums required to safely conduct the scenario. 3.4.1.1.4. Aircraft malfunctions affecting safety of flight. 3.4.1.1.5. Loss of SA. 3.4.1.2. When Desired Learning Objectives (DLOs) either are met or are unattainable for an entire scenario. 3.4.2. Once a "KNOCK-IT-OFF" is called, all participating aircraft will: 3.4.2.1. Acknowledge with call sign in roll call fashion. 3.4.2.2. Cease tactical maneuvering and end the scenario. 3.4.2.3. Deconflict flight paths and climb/descend to a safe altitude, block, or as briefed 3.4.2.4. Address any problems/issues and obtain verbal clearance from the flight lead/mission commander/exercise director/representative before resuming/resetting the scenario.

Pocket Sized Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 After seeing that video me and my friends like to yell "2 recover!" at each other whenever somebody messes up and G-LOC's 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.
