*** Posted by Henrik Bach *** 1) Normally the pilots don't have anything to say at all but they can ask for a new one in particular cases. 2) Duty Ops looks at the names of the students and randomly takes out letters to make a call sign. Example: My name is Henrik Bach and my call sign became ''HEB''. I wouldn't hope to much to get ''ICE'' as a ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi guys When you are going to drop your bombs in CCIP you always fly in with CCRP selected and then switch to CCIP when you have the target visual. The reason there is no target designator is in order not to clutter up the target area. The CCIP is the precision mode when you are talking dumb bombs, so it is importent to be ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi guys Just to straigthen the conversation out a bit: The distance that the AMRAAM goes active on is dependent on when the radar in the missile is able to get a good lock. This means that the distance in question is mostly a missile-to-target distance and it doesn't have much to do with how far out it is fired. run

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hello Faulken, Sorry if I miss-understood your earlier question, nice to hear from you again. I just wanted to point out to you that you have made a very good question about the HUD symbology. I have often wondered myself if there was a symbol to make CCIP bombing a little easier. I think that CCIP bombing was a ...

*** Posted by FAULKEN *** Thank you for the quick response, but..... I guess what I'm really asking is this: The HUD symbology for Steerpoints is a small diamond, and what I would like to know is if a similar type of symbol (i.e. a Target Designation, TD box )is displayed on the HUD of the real jet for a locked ground target while in CCIP mode?

*** Posted by FAULKEN *** Thanks Tiger OK time to brush up on those Math skills....If an Aim-120 leaves the F-16's furthest most rail at 2:30 pm while the F-16 is traveling at 517 nm/h, and reaches a top cruising speed of Mach 2.14 in 21 seconds. How long will it take it the 120 to hit a Mig-27 located 28 miles from the F-16 at the time of ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi Tiger, I been trying to reach you but no luck. You can contact me now by ICQ if you want. I have'nt talked to you for a while you must be busy. I tried the FOC but no luck. My ICQ No 40463992 it's cool to talk with and it will let me know when your on the net. Also RUN kindly made the chat section so we can talk ...

*** Posted by TIGER *** [Hi, I cannot tell you the real distance when it goes active because it's classified I dont know, sorry, but the AMRAAM (so they say) has a maximum kill range of 31 miles. I would judge it to be that kind of distance so the pilot does'nt have to hang around. You see the AMRAAM is a ''Fire & Forget'' missle, which ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi You get used to it after a while. Then it's actually nicer than a conventional stick. run [Hmm..I am surprised at this, with my stick it moves at least 2.5 inches in all directions, does this not make the F-16 difficult to handle becuase it must be very sensitive with so little movement in the stick, basically I think ...
