wingman5 149 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Here's a challenge for all you steely eyed fighter pilots . The zip has an AI model of the target banner as used on APC's (armament practice camp). I use either formation setup or add it as a tanker in TP to get it flying, that way its easy to set the pattern speed and height, but use whatever way you prefer. Initially the pilots would fly an academic firing pattern with a wingman taking it in turns to attack from the trailing start. , but you would only fire on passes you thought were good. Once qualified the pilot moved on to a Lim-op shoot ....you only had 40 rounds (20 per gun) , enough for two or three short bursts , but you were only allowed 4 passes . Final qualification was on the Op-shoot, on this you had the target to yourself and began the shoot wit a head-on approach. On your command the Canberra began a turn which he held for 540o (one and a half turns) during which you made as many firing passes as you could . Bullets were dipped in paint which marked the edges of the holes so you knew whose shots were scoring. Unfortunately we do not have that sophistication in the sim , but the challenge is to position yourself and track the banner . approach at too narrow an angle and there is no target to shoot at , whereas if the angle is too wide you have a high G turn onto a fast moving banner , so your ideal approach is from 200 aft. Anyway use it as you will but have fun D Banner.zip Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. banner40.dds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidA 6 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'm guessing they'd want to be a long way away. I actually flew with someone once who used to do target towing..... Bonkers!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
