>>184823380
Long story but basically our politicians believed the capitalism meme. As if any military aircraft industry works without state support...duh.

In truth we still make our own military aircraft just in different collaborations and parts of supply lines and via licenses (e.g., AH Mk1 = AH-64 with Rolls Royce engines instead of GE).

Also there is the whole BAE Systems thing to consider.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems

Defence industry is a big employer still, put it that way.

Alas

>>184825212
Yeah I don't mean you don't build anything anymore, but there aren't any Hawkers or Glosters or Supermarines or De Havillands designing indigenous British aircraft anymore like America has Lockeed, Northrop, etc and Russia has Sukhoi, MiG, etc. And that sucks because Britain used to be pretty good and relevant in this field, but it seems like they couldn't keep up with the US and Russia after WW2

>>184826180
Because Supermarine and many other aircraft manufacturers formed BAC because of the government, which went on to make mostly everything from 1950 to 1990, then giving all the stuff to BAE being a merger of Marconi Electronic and General Electric.

When navigating with FSX, are there any situations (besides equipment failure) when I should use GPS over VOR? or ADF?
Also what situations would Autopilot be justified? I just flew a long-ass flight in a 172 with just autopilot and I felt like I missed out.

thinking about buying f-5, could someone adopt me?

>>184830883
Navigate however you want. The general practice is to use that which can provide the most accurate information for any segment of the flight.
Autopilot use is at your discretion. The only real concerns are complying with any limitations imposed by the equipment or aircraft. Or, special situations which require autopilot engagement (eg.. flight in RVSM).

>>184830883
>are there any situations (besides equipment failure) when I should use GPS over VOR? or ADF?
I usually use it when flying in remote places so I can take a more direct route. I prefer to use traditional navaids though, because it's more fun.

>Also what situations would Autopilot be justified?
When you can't be arsed to control the airplane, like in cruise.

I just fly GA though, I'm sure you'd use autopilot a lot more with tubeliners.

>>184820380
Steel Armor: Blaze of War looks pretty good.

>>184831935
>>184831842
Yeah most of my flying lately has been in Yukon/Alaska area (I'm seeing if I can fly towards NWT and Nunavut) where navigation aids are more sporadic. I'd like to learn dead reckoning and older styles of navigation as well.

>>184834135
In that situation, your best bet is probably pilotage (navigating by land/cultural features) and ded reckoning when over open wilderness. Use VOR/ADF when in range, or GPS all the time if you want.

That depends if you're pretending to fly in a time period before GPS exists. Or, if you aircraft is not equipped with a GPS receiver.

Ops when?

>>184826180
>but it seems like they couldn't keep up with the US and Russia after WW2

Britain was bankrupted by WW2. We were still on rationing until 1951.

while I think of it, outside of FSX how prevalent is morse in other sims?

>>184839168
Other flight sims feature it as well obviously.

How do you use Laser guided bombs if you have a JTAC marking it in DCS?
Do you just drop them at the general location of where they're marking?

They should also add a module where you get locked out of your account and sent to a gulag because you accidentally tuned into an American Forces broadcast and listened to western radio for more than 30 seconds.

Wasn't this basically how the Me-163 operated?

>>184886491
The Me-163 used the airfield's runway and could only be GCI'ed into its targets rather than the MiG-19 using both GCI and it's own radar, but at least the MiG-19 has landing gear.

Everything is covered in the 9 line.

Remember the coordinates, laser code and final attack heading given to you in the 9 line brief.

Input the target coordinates into your CDU, calculate your heading to the target using the TAD and switch the bombs and TGP to the JTAC laser code and that's about it.

Unless you are thinking about the JTAC script used in Blue Flag which is similar.
