mkellytx Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Im sure someone here is into that. Just not me :) OK, poor form to forget the sts. The word choice is appropriate when it is meant to be analogous to a single action pistol, with a round in chamber, with a full magazine, with the hammer cocked (sts) back and with the safety off. Which pretty much describes a BUFF on alert, all the switches are preset, cartridges are in every engine, up to 20 cans of instant sunshine are on board, and the crew is a stones throw away to fire the carts.
mkellytx Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Ah okay. I didn’t know that. I saw the documentary mentioning the scramble capabilities. Looked somewhat recent. Maybe early 2000s.

It was one of the first things I asked about when I started working on the Bone, only to be disappointed by the answer it that it went away with the nuclear mission.

I’m guessing the B-2 would still have that function.

mkellytx Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Answering the original question any of the current bombers would be difficult to model in the game. Even if you could do a 4 or 6 position cockpit, the EW station is always the one that lacks unclassified documentation that couldn't be modeled. There's sufficient documentation out there to model the front seats and the offensive station, maybe even model the Laptop controlled targeting pod from 10 years ago. The new cockpit with the color LCD MFD's and with all the nice new data links is too new and not public domain.
