June 30, 20215 yr Author comment_70226 Great quality shots! I thought the Mirage couldn’t mix ordnance load outs. Report

Mixed A2G seems ok so long as the wing stores & those on the body hard points aren't mixed (you can take one thing on the wings & another on the body). They also changed what was allowed on the center pylon. It had been you could hang nearly anything on it, now it's BAP or PGMs only in lieu of the fuel tank. Having said that, it wouldn't let me fire the outboard rockets. Not sure why & I was not able to correct it. Report
June 30, 20215 yr comment_70235 Once more into the breach dear friends! No Pub for me, these phallus under my wings aren't just to impress the ladies.. Thats what freedom looks like baaaybeee! Sorry for all the pics, I finally got this bird down pat & am enjoying flying it greatly! Besides, shes so damned pretty! Report

June 30, 20215 yr comment_70241 Deleting screenshots & I thought this one deserved posting before hitting the digital abyss. Note mismatched loadout. Old stored loadouts will let you do this but you will get an error when you try to use your weapons. I recommend you delete any loadouts that show A2G ordinance with Super 530 missiles. The combo is strictly verboten. Report
July 2, 20215 yr comment_70279 Knocking some rust off. Not sure why the AF does this, its such a PIA compared to drogue. Report
July 3, 20215 yr comment_70308 The real life refueling is much easier than what is in DCS. That being said from someone that is not using VR so I can't speak to that. It is a pain in the ass as you say to maintain station because my eyes don't have the periphery and therefore the judgement that you would. It is really pretty quick because the boomer can hook you up fast. Also in DCS you have to be within 1 kt to stay correct and the amount of thrust change to maintain 1 kt is just not within the scope of the game. In the jet it is more forgiving by far. Report

July 5, 20215 yr comment_70343 A little more Viper love. I believe I have sufficiently knocked the rust off now. MAGNUM! Need a cpl bit of fuel to make it back to base. Report
July 8, 20215 yr comment_70404 No rust to be found here... My bombing was even pretty solid. No mean feat doing it using compression angles. Low level bombing is all about speed & sight picture though. Report
July 9, 20215 yr comment_70414 I've never really flown the C-101, but it seems like a lot of fun. I do like flying the L-39C a lot, though. Have to figure out my controls again, though. Report
July 9, 20215 yr comment_70420 It is a fun jet, a real joy to fly. The issue is getting airborne. With its anemic engine & the payload you see it took the better part of a 6000ft runway to get enough speed to get airborne. 🤐 On a positive note, throttle management is easy. Leave it firewalled until you are ready to land! 🤣 Report

On the Mirage you can select which pylons are active. I forgot to select all 4 pylons 🤪 Report
September 2, 20215 yr comment_71332 Deleting screen shots & came across one to good to not post. @Yogi & @Klaiber in the reform area & @Vonrd chasing the basket. Report
September 2, 20215 yr comment_71335 That is a really nice one! I think that was the first refueling where I was actually able to be in the basket more than out of the basket! Report

September 4, 20215 yr comment_71375 Has anyone an opinion on refueling using a monitor versus VR?? (in other words, tried it both ways..... I have not tried VR and wondered if it made a difference. Report
