Hi Nick.

Just finished the P-3k2 update a few nights ago. You should see it next release.

Thanks a lot [:)]

This is not really a database issue. I've observed a glitch with radar sensor coverage cone display. Basically when I assign a 135° forward field of regard to a radar, the leftmost slice(bearing 292.5 to 315) is not displayed. This does not seem happen if this slice of coverage is not the first slice in clockwise direction.

It does not seem to affect actual detection.

#1195 F-15CJ -> F-15J

Thanks for the great report. Logged and we'll take a look.

Need some words buddy to figure out what you mean.

Thanks!

Japan's single seat F-15 should be F-15J instead of F-15CJ.
Although its two seat F-15 is called F-15DJ. [:D]

Some JAS 39E/F News

JAS 39E/F will have 2 additional weapon pylons under the fuselage, it will be able to cruise at Mach 1,25 without afterburner, it will have an increased internal fuel capability of 2400 lb. and will be equipped with the Selex-ES Brite Cloud expendable active decoy system.

http://aviationweek.com/awin/new-gripen ... capability

Is it possible to upgrade the E/F version in the database to reflect this?
The 2 additional weapon pylons will give the E/F version capability to carry offensive weapons on the 4 wing pylons and 2 Meteor AAM's for self defence under the fuselage.
I hope you can change the E/F loadouts according to this i.e. 2x IRIS-T+6x Meteor in Max intercept mode, 16x GBU39/B+2x IRIS-T+2x Meteor, 4x GBU-12+2x IRIS-T+2x Meteor and so on.

And maybe we will get ALCM's as well

Another weapon to add to the swedish JAS39C/D/E/F is GBU-49 that is missing in the loadouts

I posted this a while ago but it must have got lost in the noise and it's still relevant:

Had a look at the NZ entries in the database and noticed a couple of things with the aircraft:
(All quotes from the RNZAF site)

NH90TTH is operated by the Air Force

All the Orions are also operated by the Air Force

The RNZAF took delivery of five P-3B Orions in 1966 (NZ4201 - NZ4205). In 1985 an ex-RAAF P-3B was purchased (NZ4206). All six Orions were upgraded (avionics and radio systems) under Project RIGEL in the early 1980s. Following the upgrade the designation P-3K was applied to these aircraft. Aircraft that have undergone the current upgrade programme are designated P-3K2.

Where's the Huey? RNZAF has operated the UH-1H since 1970

The RNZAF currently operates 13 Iroquois helicopters. Five UH-1D (NZ3801- NZ3805) were delivered in 1966. A further nine UH-1H (NZ3806 - NZ3814) were delivered in 1970. A further UH-1H (NZ3815) was delivered in 1976. The UH-1Ds were progressively upgraded to UH-1H standard during the mid 1970s. Two ex-US Army UH-1H attrition airframes were purchased in 1996. One has been brought into service as NZ3816.

Also needs the C-130H

The RNZAF currently operates five C-130 Hercules. It took delivery of the first three Hercules (NZ7001 - NZ7003) in 1965. These were the first C-130H production models off the Lockheed production line. A further two C-130H, (NZ7004 - NZ7005) were added in 1969. Currently the aircraft are undergoing a modernisation and structural improvement programme to ensure that last until 2015. Upgraded aircraft are designated C-130H (NZ).

Air force also operates 2 Boeing 757-200s

Two Boeing 757-200 were received in 2003. Starting in 2007 both aircraft were fitted with an upper deck cargo door to facilitate an 11-pallet cargo capability, internal air stairs, upgraded engines and flight deck enhancements including full compliance with current global air navigation specifications and standards.

List updated. Thanks Guys!

Possible PLAN carrier-based maritime Z-8

Not much info, and this is the only picture I can find. If anybody else has any pictures or links showing a Z-8/18 with that radar and/or sonobuoy dispenser, please share.

from http://chinese-military-aviation.blogsp ... s-iii.html

The latest image (February 2014) indicated an ASW/anti-ship variant has been developed and is undergoing test. This variant (Z-18FQ?) carries a large surface search radar under its nose and the FLIR/TV turret was relocated to the starboard side. The helicopter also has large pylons installed for carrying large AShMs (e.g. YJ-83K). Dozens of small openings are positioned along its rear loading ramp which could be used to release sonobuoys.

Re-posted from elsewhere: Any chance we could see the RFA's new class of tanker, the Tide class? Would help with a scenario I'm building but not urgent.

The Kh-15/AS-16 currently exists in Command only as a land-attack nuclear weapon carried in the Tu-160. Apparently, anti-shipping and anti-radar conventional versions were developed, and it was carried in the Tu-95 and Backfire as well. Would be very useful to have in-game.

APA source (not the most reliable, I know)

Wiki, but links to Janes

Other link

Sorry if I can't get more authoritative links.

Also, and this is secondary, while the MOAB bomb exists in the weapons database, I currently have to manually edit it onto the C-130 variants since no "official" loadout that I could find currently exists in-game.

Colier12, you're right they were developed. Some sources claim Kh-15P entered service in 1988 (Tu-160, Tu-22M3). At the same time, looks like the Kh-15S (Kh-15A) didn't. Not sure it was actually produced.

Edit:
And some sources claim that it was nuclear Kh-15 that entered service in 1988 (not in 1980 as other sources claim), so Kh-15P wasn't in service either.

Still, we have plenty of other developed but never entered service weapons in-game (like the AIM-152 AAAM).

Hey Matrix! [:)]
Quick request to add the Il-78M-90A to your list!

Greetings

When I look at the entry for the AA-9 ARH or Phoenix, Its unclear how mid flight guidance occur, no list of a sensor or datalink is mentioned in the database? How does the data drive the missile into range for its 5nm sensor. Is this a link that can be attacked by OECM or the Com jammer?

Is it possible to have the F-14A/B/D TARPS Tomcats as seperate entries in both DB`s?

Thanks, Bjørn

The weapons have time-shared mid-course SARH update. When firing AIM-54s, try turning off the AN/AWG-9. The missiles will then go autonomous. If you do the same for the AA-9 the missiles will go blind and self-destruct after a few seconds.
