Can we all do next Monday?

Howdy pards, in conversation with Zukker last night seems he’s got an few evenings next week where there’s an opportunity to continue your dive into all things F-14; let me know if there’s a specific day you can all make and I will endeavour to clear my schedule.
My understanding is you want to get the skinny on Phoenixes and shooting stuff down that is far away, that right?

Ok, I have a busy week next week and it may require working late. I don’t want to set a date then have to rain check so we’ll avoid that, but if you guys are good to do an afternoon your time (Canadian) thereafter I can do any from Sat 12th onwards. Let me know.

Hey chaps,
It's been mooted that some would like some training in The Big Fighter; if we can organise a time that's good for all I am happy to give some instruction on how to operate the Cat.
Before we start, however I need you guys to be prepped; you NEED to have certain keys bound to whatever device is convenient to you and to know which is what before we start; I strongly suggest you make these keys handy as you'll be needing to manipulate these in the middle of a dogfight or tricky parts on the flight envelope. Here's the list:
Weapons:
- Weapon selector up
- Weapon selector down
- Weapon selector depress
- Master Arm on and cover open
Dogfight Radar Modes
- Target designate forward / VSL PAL
- Target designate up / VSL HI
- Target designate down / VSL LO
- CAGE SEAM button
- PLM Button
Jester Controls
- Toggle Menu (default keyboard = 'A')
Countermeasures
- DLC Toggle / Countermeasure Dispense
Wing Sweep Manipulation:
- Wing Sweep Auto Mode
- Wing Sweep Forward
- Wing Sweep Aft
- Wing Sweep Bomb Mode
I suggest we start with guns and 'winders and what the Dogfight Radar Modes do, where you'll find them useful and what their limitations are. Along with this we'll look at best practise for dogfighting in the Turkey; how to interpret gauges quickly and what the numbers you're looking for are.
After that in subsequent lessons we'll look at Beyond Visual Range ops and best practises for Sparrow and Phoenix employment.
Then we'll look at getting back on board the carrier and maybe Air to Air Refuelling if anyone is brave enough.
On the way through these we'll talk about the RWR and manipulating the TACAN.
All good?
Let me know when's best for you chaps. Happy to do whenever.

Version 2.8 has landed! Clouds will move and happy rainbows will paint the sky... as long as there's rain and sunshine and observer in particular arrangement, cos wavelength dispersion of light is a physical phenomenom that relies on specific phyical parameters to be met.
Just sayin'.
Oh, and MB-339 is now available for those who want to dance in the military air power equivalent of an Italian sports car.
QuoteIntroducing DCS: MB-339 by IndiaFoxtEcho and new Graphics Features:
- Added atmospheric effects: rainbow, glory, and ice halo. The ice halo effect has settings in the Mission Editor Weather tab.
- Volumetric clouds now move according to wind direction and speed. Each cloud layer respects wind settings at the set altitude band.
- New terrain lights system for the Persian Gulf map with accurate real time shading. This is a test case, and once final, it will be implemented for all DCS World maps.

DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges
FM and systems:
- Landing light state and retraction now depend on landing gear state.
- AoA indicator was calibrated.
-
FM adjustments:
- Reduced aoa at which the first stall effects appear.
- Induced drag now does not take horizontal stabiliser downforce into account.
- Increased flap efficiency.
- Reduced induced drag near transonic speeds.
- Extended range at which vibrations occur to include low G and high AoA situations.
- Increased sensitivity of weight on wheels detection.
- Wake turbulence induced by other vehicles is now correctly taken into account by FM.
- Made g-suit effectiveness equal to that of most other aircraft (this era and newer).
- Adjusted compressor stall behaviour (corrects the multiplayer problem caused by wake turbulence).
- Restored force feedback.
- Adjusted the strength and velocity of the anti-slip system.
- Engine starter damage is now repaired.
- Solved problem with aircraft oscillation on the ground with wind.
Weapons:
- AIM-9B, -9J, -9P missiles now have a specific “growl” sound.
- Fixed a bug in audio volume control of some AIM-9 versions.
Optical Sight and radar:
- Implemented Optical Sight target range display (except gun 600 m fixed range option) on the heading/range scale.
It works as follows:
Gun:
- 300 m with no radar lock
- target locked and the range > 3.5 km → range in NM
- target locked and the range < 3.5 km → range in hectometers
Missile:
- radar strobe position in NM with no radar lock (34 NM max)
- target locked and the range > 3.5 km → range in NM
- target locked and the range < 3.5 km → range in hectometers
- The gunsight target range is fed now by the radar tracked target range (GYRO-ANT switch is still WIP, i.e. the gunsight always operates in GYRO mode).
- The heading/range scale now displays a fixed 600 m range when the “Cannon 300/600” button is kept pressed, and there is no target tracked by the radar.
- The “(C + M or SW) R” button now switches the Optical Sight to “A/A cannon” mode with short range missiles status displayed.
- The gunsight reticle diameter is now set to 20 mrd, when the radar tracks a target. The “Cannon 300/600” button reverts it to 40 mrd diameter, while kept pressed.
- The A/G sight is now a fixed depression sight. The selected manual depression doesn't affect A/A gunsight anymore.
- Adjusted gyro (A/A) gunsight dampening constant.
-
Implemented Optical Sight time/velocity scale display logic:
- when no radar lock → the scale is hidden (V symbol is in view)
- with A/A gun selected → target relative velocity
- with R550/SW missile selected and in (C + M or SW) R mode → target aspect angle
- with R530 missile selected → missile flight time (time computation logic is WIP)
- Target range provided by the radar to the gunsight is limited to 300-1600 m.
- Gyro gunsight now accounts for the target range rate. The rate is set to 0 when the target is outside of the 300-1600 m range window.
- Radar is now correctly initialised to search mode, according to cockpit switches positions, if its power switch was cycled OFF and ON while tracking a target.
3D model:
- Updated 3D model for those users who wish to make their own livery textures: Added custom arguments for parts of each Mirage F1 version. (Arguments 985 to 993 defined in description.lua. Check also Model Viewer).
- Fixing the sun reflection of cockpit glass (WIP).
- Added F1EQ liveries. (Thanks to Isaac).
Other changes:
- Controls Indicator stick/rudder positions are now raw pilot inputs, not including trim adjustments.
- Stick trim position works now in the Controls Indicator.
- Adjusted AI induced drag.

- DDD will show noise returns over the range axis at jammer azimuth in pulse search.
- DDD will show jamming intensity trace overlay in pulse doppler modes.
- TID will display jamming strobe in TWS and RWS modes.
- TID jamming strobe can be toggled via the Jam Strobe button below TID.

- TID angle symbol is hookable.
- PSTT or PDSTT on jamming target leads JAT (Jam Angle Track).
- STT-ed target transitioning to jamming outside of burnthrough automatically switches to JAT submode.
- In STT-JAT submodes both AIM-7 and AIM-54 can be employed in HOJ (home on jam).
- Added jamming targets to JESTER STT options.
-
