If said A-6 comes with DIANE and appropriate bombing modes / weapons selector switches, I might even stop flying JF-18, at least temporarily. $\:\)$ _________________________ Team Superhornet Add-on Installation Guide & TSHv3 Manual TSH forums

Baco Member Registered: 01/04/01 Loc: Buenos Aires, Argentina	Absolutelly agree Joe $;\)$ Hope that DIANE is modeled... This would be the second sim ever to model an A-6B out the box. The first was Flight of the Intruder. Still the best encarnation of the Vietnam War in a sim IMHO. _________________________ Fighter pilots make movies, Attack Pilots make history.

Guderian Senior Member Registered: 11/22/01 Loc: People's Republic of Sweden	Here's a description of DIANE : Quote: DIANE System Digital Integrated Attack Navigation Equipment AN/APQ-92 Main search radar, provide both a navigation and attack facility AN/APQ-122 Tracking radar for terrain mapping and traget location AN/APN-141 Low altitude (up to 1524m -5000 ft) radar altimeter AN/APN-153 Doppler radar for navigation and to provide ground speed and drift angles for ballistic computer AN/ANS-31 Inertial navigation system, provide data on heading altitude and horizontal and vertical velocities AN/ASQ-57 Integrated electronic control system AN/ASQ-61 Ballistic Computer, provides flight pattern data, cruise control and data for weapons selection, fuzing and delivery AN/ASW-16 Three axis autopilot AN/AVA-1 Pilots display unit, provide data on flight parameters, such as terrain clearance CPA-728A Air data computer which provides altitude static pressure, Mach number and airspeed information for the ASW-16, the AVA-1 and the conventional flight instrument I have to say I don't envy the avionics programmer, although I'm sure a lot of it can be abstracted in the game. _________________________ "I prefer to fly alone ... when alone, I perform those little coups of audacity which amuse me" - René Fonck

It appears they are not working in that pic. This is a beta screenshot, remember that. _________________________ Team Superhornet Add-on Installation Guide & TSHv3 Manual TSH forums

The first was Flight of the Intruder. Why do you think the B airframe will be modeled? The A bore the brunt of the work in SEA, while the B was configured for a SEAD role (it could carry STARMs and Shrikes). _________________________ Team Superhornet Add-on Installation Guide & TSHv3 Manual TSH forums

Tarnsman Member Registered: 05/08/02 Loc: USA	Im curious how will carrier landing be modeled? They dont have a screenshot on approach. Because of the minimal level of comms in SFP1, I dont expect LSO calls but will there be a christmas tree and meatball or just the AoA indexes in the cockpit? Will the "boat" be moving? There's more to carrier ops than a landing strip on the water.

I have absolutely no idea if the B version will be in the game or not, but both the Shrike and Standard ARM are already in Strike Fighters so it doesn't seem impossible. _________________________ "I prefer to fly alone ... when alone, I perform those little coups of audacity which amuse me" - René Fonck

Anonymous Unregistered	Seriously, doesnt that half open F105 pit look slightly weird ? Kind of like a mixture of IL-2 and SFP1 ?
