Belsimtek F5 update #4029
OK, guys. Had a read of the flight manual, systems and procedures sections as yet. Lots of fun stuff to fly it with a pro attitude, like the MiG 21. Whole systems sub section + procedure for using the recon variant camera nose, also.

NO mention of RWR. Checked the video closely. The panel is very faithful to the manual. Nothing that looks like an RWR there.

Oh....

Are we scared?

HELL NO SIR!

Little butterflies?

HELL NOOOO!

Haven't got to the appendix yet where supplemental type mods might include one...

SHUT UP! WE SAID ALREADY WE ARE NOT SCARED!

Some equipment like the SkySpot X-ponder indicate that the aircraft is designed to fit into a specific, less sophisticated than today's integrated defence systems, like the MiG-21. In the latter, I always find in SP the most "pleasurable" flights are those where you operate in an EWR radar environment, with a specific target tasking (intercept). It looks so with the former, too.

We're going to have to get some training flights together for us in group sessions if we want to get as lethal as we want to be in this one, and fly it rigidly by the SOPs we derive from them.

Looks uphill? That's how we like it!

(Of course, might be wrong. The devs might slip in an RWR for us)

I SAID.

WE.

ARE.

NOT.

SCARED.

:P

Ah, good. Where the stand by AI goes in the Flight Manual diagram. How about that, the devs did us a favor with that compromise! Couldn't see it in the shots in the teaser video.

(PS: I was Scared! LOL!)

The meaning I read in to it went more like:

"More of the same exterior F/A-18C models specifically pointed out to make it seem like we're actually working on it and making progress toward releasing it, but really we're not actually working on it or making progress toward releasing it."

NO! Don't say that! You'll see, they'll surprise release it parallel with the F-5E, on the very same day, and we'll all be so happy-ecstatic we'll all be...



...not knowing which to buy/fly first!

Nah. Actually, I believe you... :(

Everyone already knows about the Hornet... I was actually more interested in why the Tornado's were there.

Just quickly scanning through I already found a mistake in the history. There is no such thing as a T-38V. I assume they meant AT-38B and language being what it is...

If you read the whole manual with a Russian accent, it makes more sense.

WOT?! It is out?

Checking...

EDIT:

So it is! Not so much reminiscent of Top Gun for me as it is some distant memories of the Imperial Ethiopian Air Force. Scared the crap out of me once when I was playing in the garden and one flew low over our house, lol!

Sweet!
