As I learn the INS my motto has been “I don’t know where I am, but at least I look good”
Beautiful shots @Derbysieger

A little bit of aerial refueling practice earlier this evening:
Oops. That’ll buff out, right?
Umm… I don’t seem to be taking on fuel. Maybe recycle the hose?
OK, this is definitely not good…
I think I’ll need to keep practicing. Incidentally, does anybody know of a way to get around the “call for precontact, tanker floors the throttles” bug? It’s really annoying.
Well done, for not smashing my special skin in that accident!
Yeah, I haven’t opened the mission to edit it yet, though I may try bumping up the tankers speed to see if that helps.
Just be careful then, once that paintjob is scratched I need to re-do it…
It takes some ca$h…
A few more shots from continued training. Started to (slowly) learn the INS, and I’m still trying to hit the broad side of a barn with any kinds of bombs (best I can figure, I got lucky during our community mission last month).
INS is aligned:
Ooh cool, we get that neat little TO/ FROM indicator in the waypoint heading bug in the HUD:
Ooh, what have we here? A lone Il-76M? Defeated on Magic, absorbed the other, and still flying?
Darkstar, Judy, Judy…
More gun passes, because apparently these things are invincible:
Out of missiles, out of bullets, resorting to harsh language:
@Navynuke99 I find the gun aiming to be strangely difficult on the M2000
Pretty sure this is from one of the flyin’s a little while ago
Hey @Navynuke99, I’m pretty positive that I can make the drop tank for that skin personalised too!
Do you want to know more?
I too have been playing with the M-2000C INS system, after getting it all aligned and smashing buttons i took her up to test fuel burn at different altitudes. stuck the throttle in a fixed position and started climbing. Soon enough I hit altitude and stalled myself down to the ground.
Here, I can be seen coming in for a landing, what a sexy plane!
I too was working on INS stuff… though I’m just finally got the alignment down… But I figured this was a nice shot taxiing in.
I feel like we should have a baquette and brie weekend fly-inn at some point
It will be glorious!
I’m going to do some more testing with firing while inverted, because as @near_blind can also attest, it eliminates bullet drop.
Out of curiosity, why? Is it the HUD symbology, the aircraft handling, or some combination of both?
I kinda like it. Just align the gun cross and the line, pull to lead, and burst as the wings pass through the appropriate wingspan line. Even easier if you’ve got a radar lock.
For me, the lead line feels jerkier and more abrupt than the F-16’s funnel in BMS, or the gunsight on the Russian birds in FC3.
Ditto for the radar computed sight, and I don’t seem to get the pipper until I’m much, much closer than any of the above.
