Klaiber 4,755 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 @Firefly - I have no idea why you'd try this without working rudder pedals, but I guess he likes doing things with two hands and one leg tied behind his back. Firefly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Firefly 760 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Oh boy... The movie is an absolute classic in Polish aviation circles. I'd love to do some roadbase operations myself. Finding the right stretch of road is the hard part, especially on Caucasus. Not surprised they chose the Persian Gulf, though they should've found a road with no trees or lampposts next to it. I would never attempt this without working rudder pedals. Shame they didn't use proper Polish skins. EDIT: Hey boss, look what I found... https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/licensed-third-party-projects/heatblur-simulations/dcs-ajs37-viggen/219721-any-good-suggestions-for-a-road-base-in-the-caucasus-map?p=5873223#post5873223 Not that I'm trying to suggest anything, but... You might have the perfect map to try some of these out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Klaiber 4,755 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hmm, that gives me an idea. Maybe I can add some Road Landing exercises to the NAV map. Let me think about it. Firefly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Britchot 2,573 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 You can reference two Navaids, like the intersection of ARC II-1-5 050° and II-1-6 220°. Or the simpler single fix like RSBN 04, 120° for 120km. Figure out where the good sections of roads are and then figure out the marker. The pilot might need to fly high for reception and find the area to descend. Or, using the map to draw those intersections, can use pilotage to navigate, once in the area.

Klaiber 4,755 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 I'm excited about this. I'll see if I can have something before Friday. Firefly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Erhardt 246 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 From what I´ve heard Firefly, it was not a very good rifle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Firefly 760 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Not quite true. It's an excellent target rifle chambered for a superior cartridge, but as a military arm it suffers from a fragile stock (the piece of wood under the receiver and magazine is very thin), a fairly weak locking system (especially compared to the Mauser), rather slow loading (Krag speedloaders weren't used by the Norwegian military) and, most damningly of all, excessive production cost.
