038 'Cold Turkey'

Well guys that's me. No gaming till me office is re-decorated. Still I will be back soon with a dual gtx670 in SLI mode. So even those very rainy, dull windy ILS approach's are gonna look silky smooth @6100x1200.

Ill try keep the server running, and if there's any requests, let me know here, and i'll try to accomodate them on the server. I keep a save most days, so i can restore some old saves if needed.

Server now running stable @3.95gHz.

037 OCA Strike

Jinef and I have been contributing to the campaign effort tonight. This is the mission de-brief. Naturally i was leading us in. :) The image is not blurry that's your old eyes.

036 'A hunting we shall go'

Escort Mission, Campaign day 1.
11.04 Take off time
12.44 Touchdown

First BMS Campaign mission fully complete. Fairly uneventful. It was an escort 2 ship, so i decided to go wingman and let the AI show me the way. Had a Long trip east (170miles) from Kunsan, to intercept 4 b2b lancers, and another 50 into enemy territory north east to target, Choongwon They came out of Kadena Airbase off the east shore of south Korea. 

Take off was full ramp, and aligned not a second too soon, as we were queued in a long line to taxi. Lots of both out going and in coming traffic at Kunson, mostly A10, and F16 B50's stationed there. Following the caret, intercept was neat to see the lancers below. At the target site, did have a bit of action a group of mig 23's got airborne, but between me and lead, we dispatched them quickly. I splashed  3 with single missiles, using fox 3 and fox 1 close. Luckily it was quick, cause we had a long journey home and fuel needed to be managed.

Once they were disposed of, we headed back to the original intercept point, and said goodbye to the lancers. (what i didn’t realise was that they did no damage to their targets, which made the thing a waste of time).  I was empty on the outboard fuel tanks, so decided to ditch them, and joined my no1. At the airbase i got some atc instructions, but was behind lead, and think ATC kind of forgot about me. Perhaps I needed to follow Lead in. Will a little time left to call emergency, i grappled with the ILS, and input the frequency for Kunsan, and we were good to land. Still had 3k lbs on board.

I thoroughly enjoyed the sense of immersion with lots going on around, and was nearly taken by surprise when we encountered bogies. AI lead behaved, Strike group were disappointing. Server was solid, with no lag i could see, and though I had to kill BMS, due to ALT TAB bug at the end, i managed to get a briefing snap, and server kept up, and still runs.

034 'Quick off the Mark'

Mark points. 

• Mark points occupy steer points 26-30 (so you only got 5!!) 
• To slave sensors to a mark point it must be made the current steerpoint, by selecting from on the STPT page, or cycling the ICP Steerpoint rocker. 
• New marks are stored in the next available steerpoint slots, and when they are all used up the slots are overwritten in sequence.
• When you make a successful mark, it will show up as a large X on the HSD. 

To make mark points.

1. Click on the 'MARK' button on ICP one or more times to select the mark type (Overfly, FCR, HUD, TGP). 

HUD

2. Make sure AG mode is selected from ICP, 

3. press DMS UP, to make hud 'SOI' (you'll see a '*', top left if you done it right!)

4. use CURSOR CONTROL to move the cursor as desired.

5. TMS  UP, to slow the cursor for accuracy.

6. TMS UP again to create a MARK. 

7. TMS DOWN to return to boresight. (can be done after step 5 also, before a Mark point is made).

FCR

2. Make sure AG mode is selected from ICP

3. Make GM FCR the SOI with DMS (left generally)

4. Click the OSB 8 on the FCR mfd, to select SP mode.

5. TMS UP, to allow the cursor to be slewed.

6. Use PINKY to zoom in on the target (and gain if necessary)

7. With cursor over the target (and Mark FCR type selected from ICP), TMS UP to make a mark. 

TGP

2. Make sure AG mode is selected from the ICP

3. Make TGP SOI, with DMS (right generally). 

4. TMS DOWN, to boresight the sensor,

5. SLEW the cursor, and ground stabilise with TMS UP

6. Fine tune, with PINKY, and ANT (for zoom) 

7. TMS UP SHORT, to make the MARK.

Overfly

2 . Make sure AG mode is selected from the ICP

3. When you are over the mark, click TMS UP
