Nealius Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I'm not sure if it's modeled or not, but I was curious about inputting forecasted wind into the CK37. Obviously the first question is, is it modeled? Second question, what exactly does it do after input? Does it aid in bombing?
Flappie Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 The information you need is on pages 162 and 183 of the current version of the manual: Doppler The aircraft is equipped with a Doppler system that is primarily used to detect the change in travel in the Y and X-axis due to wind. This measurement is added to the navigation data to provide a wind corrected position. [...] The system is largely automatic, but can be toggled via the computer in mode VIND/ RUTA/ MÅL. Input VIND/RUTA / MÅL Normally the Doppler unit is used for calculating the current wind, but inputting forecasted wind the following applies: Forecast entered in the air has priority over Doppler wind. Forecast entered on the ground does not have priority over Doppler wind. Doppler wind is used when available, but otherwise forecast wind is used. Forecast wind is always used for fuel / time calculation during take-off, that is as long as M < 0.35. 1) This function doesn't seem to mess with the weapon systems. I'm afraid it's all about navigation correction. BUT, the word "primarily" raises doubt. 2) I've never used this function, but I'm guessing it's been modeled already (otherwise the manual would say not to try it out). ---
