DCS: AJS-37 Viggen Discussion

im pretty sure commenting about the post before yours.

 

And i really wish ppl would start using the Quote system to point towards what post they where responding to =P.

 

Can get confusing otherwise xD

Lol possibly, some threads do move very quickly. It's hard to keep up with the comments sometimes. Especially if you type slowly like myself!

By the way mattebubben I wanted to thank you and everyone else for the great translations and help understanding the aircraft! It really brought the Viggen into another light for many folks I'm sure!

if you or anyone else need help with translating something from swedish just make a post.

We should probably make a "translation" thread.

Atleast as soon as the viggen gets its own forum.

I wonder if Leatherneck are holding off the announcement to not steal the limelight from RAZBAM's Mirage.

Can't wait to see the first screens of the Viggen in DCS.

Viggen wont steal M2000 hype. Viggen isnt for 2015 M2000 is maybe for this week.

I mean you have all your time reading announcement after.

With the exception of the F-14, an announcement probably won't steal the thunder of an actual release.

I'm hoping that we are just waiting on the next DCS 2.0 patch to become avaible for the next set of releases. Here's hoping for a pre-christmas release!:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

You won't see Viggen before Christmas.

Yes, now I will have some reading to do this weekend :)

You won't see Viggen before Christmas.

Ya, maybe just trying to buoy my spirits a bit. The more I think about the Mig. The more I wonder if they are having the same problems with the Viggen and Corsair. It will get sorted , hopefully sooner rather than later. I want to try that 500m split S!

Any way, I will wish everyone a Joyful Holiday and a Happy New Year!

You gotta remember that MiG had a huge shake up and it had a smaller team, as well.

I seriously doubt LNS will be releasing anything before the end of the year. They aren't likely to get much done next week and though we know what the modules are, they haven't officially announced them yet. An official product announcement before the end of the year seems possible, though I'm not expecting one.

As promised, here is the unclassified part of the AJS 37 SFI (speciell förarinstruktion - the flight manual). I used ScanTailor Experimental to attempt to make a cleaner "scan" from my smartphone camera pics - let me know if it messed up somewhere.

Thank you very much:thumbup:

Yeah. Still, we got some aircraft this year. We should still get the Mirage. But neither LNS module is looking like it made it, nor did the VEAO P-40. Makes you wonder why they bother announcing in anything advance really, just look at how long ago the hornet first surfaced. Let us know when it is ready, or shortly before. Waiting just makes everyone antsy!:D

The original SFI PDF I posted had about half the pages missing because I messed up. I've replaced the link with a new, fixed one.

Its going to be really interesting attacking ships with the radar missile Robot-15F and Robot-04E. Both of them are freaking huge. 2 anti ship radar missiles can be equipped on the Viggen.

I dont know if this works on the 04E but on the 15F you can actually change target for the missile after launch.

Some more info how the Maverick will be used:

It will work like in the A-10 except that the monitor is in the tube looking thing to the right of the hud.

The mavericks camera can be used up to 30 degrees to each side however it is only allowed to fire up to 15 degrees of angle.

So you will basically have the same look as in the A-10. You also aim the Maverick with the radar joystick

The robot 05A is the most interesting missile on the Viggen. You fire it and then steer it with a "joystick" to your right bye eye. It has low smoke fuel and a flare attached to it so you can track it easier.

The manual also mention that you can use it against slow moving air targets but its mainly for sea and ground targets. 2 can be equipped at the same time.

Sprängbomb m/71 - 120 kg bomb. Chute can be used on it.

Lysbomb m/71 - flare

Akan m/55 - 30 mm pods. 2 can be equipped at the same time.

I'm personally not so happy with how LNS has handled this. No announcement despite Cobra saying they will adapt to the leak and that there will be an announcement in September and in October.

I wish you and LNS a merry Christmas.

For what it is worth, I know that Cobra has been ill for quite some time. LNS is a small developer and having their "voice" hospitalised will have an effect...

Unfortunatly delays and postponed announcements seems to be very common in the DCS World. But in this case I am willing to cut the devs some slack...

This must be the module that I am most excited for ever. Actually saving up money for the HOTAS Warthog just for this one. It has alot to do with personal things though. My uncle flew the Draken and the Viggen in the Swedish Air Force, and he is one of the pilots who has a confirmed radar lock on a SR-71. Can't wait to get a sense of his experience in this aircraft!

I commented just that (Blackbird interception) as one of the many possibilities that lies ahead with this aircraft. My all times personal favorite!! I am saving money for it too. It will be amazing to have the Viggen flying on DCSW, cannot wait to practice runway landings all day :joystick:

The AJS-37 only carries Sidewinders. No Skyflashes or AMRAAMs.

only the fighter variant was used for blackbird interceptions (or most interception)

so thats not really something you would be doing with the AJS-37 =P

Thank you very much!

There is so much information to process, and so far I have only gone through the first 200 pages...

Some highlights so far about things being discussed previously.

The "Reglagebroms" is for both setting the AFK (autothrottle) mode and friction control of the throttle.

There is a automatic stick to rudder ratio depending of speed and so on, and if it fails the switch "TIPPVÄXEL" can be set to "LANDNING" (landing mode) with set the ratio in a mode best suited for landing the aircraft.

There is indeed three stages (zone) of the afterburner, each having a set of fuel injectors. They are controlled by three microswitches that are actuated by the throttle. The afterburner indicator "1, 2 and 3" are lighted by the throttle position, not the actual after burner operation. For actual operation you need to monitor the nozzle indicator gauge.

The countermeasure systems are KA (ECM, radar jamming) and KB (flares and chaff) and consist of two external pods (wing pylons). When used the amount of missiles, rockets, bombs is reduced (since they use one pylon each).

By the way, the AJ(s) Viggen can load 16 120kg bombs :thumbup:

More information (and pictures from the book i got my hands on) will follow.

The "LJUDSTYRKA UK-DÄMP" volume knob is indeed controlling the volume of the IR missile seeker (0-40db). If needed it can be pushed and then you get a 100% damping of the radio, then only hearing the missile seeker (and warning sounds like stall (high alfa) warning).

By the way, there is a recorder that automatically starts when there is something transmitted or recieved on the radio or if there are any warning signals. The recorder can also be started manually.
