The UKMIL one can definitely get off the deck, it took a little bit of fiddling to get a good launch, though not being able to get it on its hind legs was a bummer.
The weights for the weapons are in the manual and also in the payload manager in sim. The numbers listed by the weapon types are the weights to add

Looking at the Flying Stations Buck, seems the pilots there are also a little small on it and the observer/Nav/attack appears to sit a little to low.

More flying off the Vic today. Starting to work out the radar a little now to the point where I can lock onto the task force. Pretty cool given the limits of FS.

I think you're right about that.

The back seater's head is quite close to the hood... although he looks like a giant. The bang seat handle is below head height.

Hmm , they are/were a big aircraft, surprised that was not picked up on in testing, the freeware appears to have the scaling right.

by **chopper_nut** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 7:13 pm

I can't put my finger on what is wrong. The seats seem to be the correct distance from the canopy and the crew seem to be the correct scale in relation to the seats.

brings a new meaning to open cockpit NOT!

Open cockpit inside the canopy

Yeh I'm actually not sure what that's all about. Must be something to do with the observer having his head down with the radar.

I'd be keen for MP. I'll be on teamspeak tomorrow if the internet is any good here.

. The trouble with the Bucc is the visibility with a high nose attitude on approach.

Just raise the seat - shift/enter

Now try an F4K

by **chopper_nut** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 8:35 pm

I could do that but then I can't see the ASI or any of the other instruments for that matter. Doesn't matter now, I think I've got that hang of it. Haven't tried the F4 yet as I have been almost exclusively flying off the Victorious.

The only piston engined carrier aircraft I have are the Tracker and the Swordfish.
