They are on the left horizontal panel | The radio equipment consists of two transceiver and one control unit of model Fr-21. They are on the left horizontal panel. In the simulation both transceivers are used for communication. In the real aircraft one was the receiver for combat control data feeding the AHK and other avionics. The letters A-K stores pre set frequencies for transceiver A (closest to the control unit) and the numbers 1-5 stores pre set frequencies for transceiver B. A stores the COM1 frequency at FG start up. Number 1 stores the COM2 frequency at FG start up. The frequency for the other letters and numbers are in the text file Avionics/Fr21.txt and can be changed by the user. Pressing the buttons marked with dash (-) makes it possible to manually set the transceiver’s frequency using the knobs on the unit. The radio is off at simulation start. Transceiver B uses battery power and transceiver A uses main AC. | ||

====== Weapons and sight ====== | |||
ADEN 30 mm cannon implemented. Choose AKAN with weapon chooser knob. (Right side radar panel). If AKAN is selected a gyroscopic gun sight is projected. Use knob on the sights right side to set target wing span and keyboard controls (z/Z) to adjust ring diameter. Nose wheel needs to be up for weapons to function. | |||
