Pocket Sized Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 If only I knew what that is 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.
renhanxue Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) It's everything you ever wanted to know about flying Drakens. That is, it's the Swedish Air Force fighter tactics manual from 1965, including how the Swedish data link system was to be used tactically, tactical radio terminology in Swedish, engagement ranges, mission profiles etc etc. no it's not viggen related, really, but come on now, it's awesome Edited April 19, 2017 by renhanxue

Pocket Sized Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Drakens. 1965 data link You've got my attention. 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.
Flagrum Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Omg, I think, I slowly start to understand Swedish, lol. "Taktikska Anvisningar för Jaktvörband" german: "Taktische Anweisungen für (den) Jagdtverband" not too different, imo. :-D
mattebubben Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Nice thanks =) But in addition have you been able to look for the SKI 37 yet? To find out any possible information about the KB Chaff/Flare pod when it comes to numbers of chaff (since the current ingame number feels very low for a pod that size/weight especially considering the way it appears the pod would have been used).
renhanxue Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 O yea, that. I forgot about that one. I'll try to remember when I'm there next time (probably next week).
Farks Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Didn't you apply to have the 1984 edition of tactical instructions for strike squadrons declassifed as well? Or am I misremebering?
renhanxue Posted April 20, 2017 Author Posted April 20, 2017 I did, but it's still in limbo. It's "only" been like 8 months, so it's not quite time to email and ask if they've forgotten me just yet (they almost definitely haven't, these things just take forever and a half).
renhanxue Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Reviving this thread to state that I still haven't heard back on the 1984 tactics manual. A late-70's fighter tactics manual with an update package from as late as 1982 has popped up in the library catalog though so I guess I might take a stab at that one of these days. In other news though, another interesting thing that popped up as "new" in the library catalog recently is a complete manual for the CK 37, dated 1971, with seven main parts (plus a spare parts catalogue): 1. Functionality 2. Devices 3. Circuit diagrams 4. Connections list CEL 5. Connections list CEM 6. Connections list IU (presumably "IU" stands for "in/ut", or input/output) 7. Circuit boards and list of jumpers/switches I myself am quite interested in that one, especially if it's actually understandable to a modern software engineer like myself. Is anyone else a bad enough nerd...?
QuiGon Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I guess they are in swedish? 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!
renhanxue Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Well, yes... unfortunately for the international audience.
BravoYankee4 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Is it the CK manual that surfaced in the Facebook retro computer group? Anyway, yes, I'm interested in it.
QuiGon Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Well, yes... unfortunately for the international audience. Alright, well, that prevents me from putting too much time into these things, which is not bad either :D 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!
renhanxue Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 Is it the CK manual that surfaced in the Facebook retro computer group? Anyway, yes, I'm interested in it. I have no idea! Which facebook group was that?
drPhibes Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Is anyone else a bad enough nerd...? Yup. Retro hardware (especially avionics) is always interesting.
BravoYankee4 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I have no idea! Which facebook group was that? Retrodatorer säljes/köpes/bytes (C64, ZX, MSX, ATARI, AMIGA mfl) is the name of that group. The posting was about someone that got a lot of old documentation from Datasaab, IBM etc. I will check what happened with that then.
Korroz Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I would love to read that CK37 manual, sounds like it's very complete.
amalahama Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Yes pleeeeeease! Where to find the CK37 manual?
renhanxue Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 Right now, at the national military archives library, in paper form... I didn’t get around to visiting last week but I’m intending to hit it up tonight.
renhanxue Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 Not going to get around to PDF-ifying this tonight, but here's some quality reading in JPEG format for y'all. Enjoy 26-bit fixed point arithmetic - there's a list of instructions ("microprograms") with latencies and everything listed so you can start writing your own CK 37 programs. 1
amalahama Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Having a CK37 emulator in the Viggen would be insane :D It wouldn't be a first timer though - in Orbiter, there is an Apollo addon with an actual emulator of the AGC and DSKY running real software Regards
Korroz Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Very cool, thanks for this renhanxue. Fun how the 26-bit binary code is read left to right.
