Well during 1965 and part of 1966 F-100 had not a radar warning system.

I guess it should have been a nerve challenge to fly the real thing.

Even so, missile warning systems or Radar Warning Receivers are passive radar detectors and hence can only detect beam riding, semi-active and active radar seeking missiles. There was no such thing as a IR missile warning system back then. Hell even today only the most advanced aircraft have introduce optical systems that can sometimes detect an IR launch.

BUT what you can get with some IR systems is that the aircraft radar has a link-through system which helps the IR seeker acquire the target before launch. In those cases, a radar warning receiver will detect the change in the radar operating mode from tracking to targetting and may sound an alarm to notify the pilot they are being actively targetted BUT it will not detect the missile launch.

Anyway we are a little off from modelling a RWR system of this complexity.

Anyone made a video of this yet? If not, I'll start working!

Perhaps I overlooked something, but has this crate demolition model finished ? I flied it yesterday and was hit by MiG-19 guns, and weird picture resulted .

MODIFIED:
Damage model, not demolition one. Thanks, US Grant.

[US_GRANT]

No. Damage models are not finished.

here landing lift fix for FM

however, is better to open airbreakes on final approach

remaining model is the same

That's basically how SARH missiles are detected too.

Actually, in Vietnam war, the S-75 / SA-2 crews used this technique (switching from scan to track) without firing a missile to test whether an enemy plane was equipped with Shrike ARMs. If yes, an enemy pilot would asume it's being fired upon by an SA-2 and would fire a Shrike towards tracking radar in order either to destroy enemy radars or to force their operators to shut them down and thus loose the missile.

So if Shrike was fired back from an enemy plane, they'd simply switch the radars off (and keep all the missiles). If there was no Shrike, they knew they can fire an SA-2 with lower risk of being targetted by a Shrike in return.

Some modern AA missiles (short range at least) do not use smoke-less motors by accident - eyeball Mk.1 is still the primary detection instrument for these.

Thank you!

Finally an enemy for MiG-17!

Wasn't Mario's F-8 built to counter the MiG-17?

Finally an enemy for MiG-17!

in reality, this plane was historically more of a counter to the MiG-19

it doesn't look like it stood shance against Farmer but... anyways, I have no idea what is an  opponent to Fresco - even F-86F-40 is too weak for it, FJ-3M is a navy jet, Canadian Sabres are..  Canadian. Is there any late 50-s opponent for MiG-17?
