Draken35 Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Today, I added a few mk.20 ranges to my practice area to test something I read about them and DCS... The plan was to fly a A2A radar practice sortie with the Hornet (carrier launched), return to an airbase and switch slot to a Harrier in a road based FARP that I also added today to my practice area... Well, Hornet sortie went not so good (radar/tpod/user issue) so I jumped into the Harrier, reamed it with mk 20 and started admiring the FARP... Did a STO, configured the bombs, set course to the target and designated it the DMT. First pass was a 5000' AGL drop in auto... Pickle and nothing felt off the plane...WTH moment... HUD was right, showing what it should. Checked Master Arms and fuze, all good... Weird, checked my control mappings and all good... Well, who knows, lets do another pass and nothing dropped... Long story short, I tried like 4 or 5 passes at different altitudes, leveled, diving, auto and CCIP... Got bingo and decided to jettison the ordinance and get back to the carrier and as soon as did it, I realized that it was a missed opportunity to practice a ship rolling VL... Oh well, next time... Got into the pattern and after the break, my hand went to the nozzle control to set it to downwind leg... Just to find out that my nozzles were already at 50 degrees ... OOOOPPPPPSSSSS 2
