Due to the Easter weekend there will be no official flight on Sunday 20th April.

For those wishing to fly Sunday evening, there will be an unofficial flight from 1900UK and those taking part will be free to choose what they fly eg old TE, campaign, training etc.

Anyone who wants to take part please sign up on the ATO.

The next official flight night will be on Sunday 27th April from 1900UK.

I'd be interested in seeing the Fraps lesson Zipgun.

Sure, it was a short, simple, 4 ship training flight from Kangung to the FLOT where 2 Tank, 1 Towed Gun, and 1 HQ battalions are in an "X" formation through a town. The brief mentioned that our role was to use TGP and Mav. sights to locate and destroy the SA-13s, and AAAs that were present, so A-10s could be tasked with a follow-up "Tank-shreading" party.

We did a wheel from STP 2 to provide deconfliction, and allow time to sort the targets. Skal learned the lesson that you must fly, watch your altitude, and lastly, watch TV. A ZSU hiding in the Tank column messed up his jet and he did a great job getting it back to base.

This is good practice for selective AGM-65 deployment, not just your easy smoke-and-go mission. It provides training for using the AGM-65 cross-hairs to slew the TGP, giving the pilot a stand-off advantage through high magnification. In 4.33, it will work the other way around, like irl, with the TGP slewing the AGM-65. If there is interest, I can try to do a Fraps training film.

The TE is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzpeudxzzwuegq2/AGm-65_Practice.rar

How did it go?

Can you share the TE?
Zipgun Posted - 21 Apr 2014 : 20:59:07
Jack, Skal, joined me in a TE I whipped up to practice doing DEAD using AGM-65s. Ironman showed up at first, but had a technical issue.

Good times
