WarrenSkip Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Hope you guys enjoy, and a huge huge thanks to the Heatblur team for the wonderful aircraft that is the AJS-37 Viggen, along with the music of course! Landing obviously wasn't the best, however the TILS system is not supposed to be used instrument only as it is not that accurate enough, you're going to need a visual on the airfield at least in the very end, which I got, so basically excuse the landing :D. 1
QuiGon Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 That was a wild landing :D But something is odd: where the is your flight path indicator? 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!
WarrenSkip Posted January 5, 2018 Author Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Nice video, but where the is your flight path indicator? The wind was 80 knots (150km/h) at 1600 feet MSL and 37 knots (68 km/h) at 16 feet MSL, ie it was so strong that the flight vector was "blown" off the screen and pointing way to the left (and subsequently my nose), however I was holding it in place with stick and rudder inputs. This isn't a good explanation by any measure, I can imagine it/visual it way better, the more aerodynamically proficient among us can further explain! You'll notice the flight vector a couple of times and you'll notice the more wind pushing my aircraft, the more put off the flight vector gets. That is also why the landing was wild, the wind was insane! Edited January 5, 2018 by WarrenSkip

I was already suspecting that this might be the reason, as your flight movements looked like there is some heavy wind going. :thumbup: Edited January 5, 2018 by QuiGon 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!

WarrenSkip Posted January 5, 2018 Author Posted January 5, 2018 Excellent! I'm loving the Viggen. Indeed, Viggen is right up there with the Hog for me. The philosophy/doctrine around the design is it's main interests that drag me into it. LOW LOW LOW Boom and Zoom attacks, extensive pre-planning, awesome NAV system and ground radar, extreme simplicity in literally everything from loading, planning, landing, HUD, navigation, computer, all made with the thought of it being intuitive and simple. Damn I love this module!

grunf Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 @WarrenSkip Nice, thanks for sharing. A wild landing indeed... ++1 (that should prepare us perfectly for the Tornado ... :music_whistling:) :megalol: Yep... :D
Eldur Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 That's how Vikings use to fly ++1 (that should prepare us perfectly for the Tornado ... ) Yep... :D Heatblur gave us the Viggen, a true ass-to-grass InterDictor/Strike aircraft. They'll give us the most iconic variable-sweep wing two seater plane aka F-14 soon. Now just add that up and you'll know what will be next - since the MiGs are locked for ³rd party devs AFAIK, so no Floggers - but I'll take a decent Tornado IDS module over anything and HB are the ones who definately can do it
Lithion Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 (that should prepare us perfectly for the Tornado ... When they were conceptualising the Tornado, they decided against a single seater since the nav/ground radar etc. was such a big workload..

Quip Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Why it got SO wild? You did almost everything right, except you followed the FD on the ADI in a high crosswind. The ADI, unlike the steering dot + fpm on HUD, doesn't compensate for sidewind. Had you tried (not sure it'd even work in that type of crosswind) to place the fpm on the steering dot rather than crossing the FD on the ADI you'd had an approach along the centerline. :)
