We were talking about F-35.

"Я ошеломлён, но думаю об этом другими словами", - некий гражданин

Ноет котик, ноет кротик,



Ноет в небе самолетик,

Ноют клумбы и кусты -

Ноют все. Поной и ты.

Ok.

Started with the Gripen, I put the pics of the F-35, and Kusch mentione a topic about the Typhonn...

My fault.

I read that the Gripen joystick only moves like 2-3 cm, making it easy to manouver under high g's. Correct me if i'm wrong?

Sorry ;)

 

It's like stock advice, you can't get it from those who know, but an educated guess can be of great value.

Thanks for your input everyone.

 

However, I can tell you that the buttons around Central Display (Tactical map) are actually sub-pages, so for example, MAP button allows you to adjust various map parameters. The same logic goes with all displays, but not all the buttons.

 

For now, I really cannot tell you more.

Correct. It works in the same way as TM Cougar after force sensors upgrade ;)

But it looks so...thin? Like some kind of sausage with a thick end on it:huh:

 

Ach,so:)

I thought you meant the position:)

Thin... Of course - looks like a bit strange... But...

I really don't know the answer:music_whistling:

That must be that most basic-looking cockpit there is :huh:

 

 

You have no idea..If someone actually switched on the avionics your brain would go like..oh dear what the hell is all that...and stuff

oo err...missus:animals_bunny:

Hi all!

 

I find this cockpit really fascinating!

Xealot, I think your last find, despite the fact it is in czech, is a fantastic find! I used an online czech to english translator and the result is VERY bad, but at least, there is a lot of info that we can understand now:

(actually, I am previewing it again and, unfortunatly, there is not much to understand... It is more like a teaser...

 

Anybody speaks czech here?

Hi! Bimbac

 

Great!

Do you feel like translating some of this for us?

http://www.vztlak.cz/army/gripen.html

 

Especially the description of symbols and elements of the MFDs and avionics, if you want (not the long texts, it might be too much of a job...).

 

Thanks

Hello everyone,

 

the info you have requested for translation is related to the modernized A version of the Gripen, used by Swedish Air Force.

 

Since I am bound by the NDA (non-disclosure agreement) with SAAB corporation, I am not able to neither disclose any data, nor to provide any translations. Anyway, this is not a Gripen version I am familiar with. All I can tell you that the posted info is pretty accurate.

 

For all of you that understand: I guess you know what I am trying to say.

 

For those who don't: there is nothing you can do about it.

Great shots! Thx. I find the throttle interesting with his vertical position. I've seen something similar only in the f-104:

and the Rafale:

Maybe you guys will find this useful. I've translated just the part describing the MFDs since the paragraph above was mostly just a common and well known explanation why CRT displays outperform obsolete needle gauges.(I can translate it as well if you really feel like reading it;)).

 

Because it was too long to post it directly I've attached a .doc file(it was somehow too large so I had to zip it).
