B-52s shatter a communist airfield with JDAMs

And forgive the quality of the pics...

FreeFalcon 5, you have to use the Falcon avionics but that's, in my view, forgivable

Gee, I remember the 1st IMB PC version of Falcon. They have come a long way.

I'm not sure, but I think the ground looked better in Falcon 4.

That is an upgraded Falcon 4 engine, so I highly doubt the ground looked any better in the original. Besides Raptor is flying at over 34 000 feet there, so not much ground detail visible.

Oh, the ground looks so much better than the Original 16 color IBM PC version. I just did not think it looked that much better than Falcon 4 and certainly not better than current Sims.

Managed to get the ETO expansion to work. Must say, it's mighty impressive. Lot of planes never seen in any other flight sim, like the Fairey Battle, see above.

Good work chaps!

Yeah the ETO expansion is a great addition to CFS3, they even made a dambuster version of the Lanc!!! Now I'm off to find some dams to bust!!

The big bad wolf


HAF F-16C Block 52+ with conformal fuel thank


F-16C Block 52 in aggressor scheme

High altitude bombing


The star of the show F-16C Block 40 with 2 pair of JDAM GPS guided bombs


While laser guided bombing is usually done under 20,000 feet today the bombs will be dropped at 30,000 feet. The GPS will make sure they hit home despite the crossing winds.


A view of the target site. Laser is OFF.


Bombs on the way!!!

Sorry I forgot to take the after strike screen shot of the attack site . A couple Mig-21s were locking on me then.

Anyway of the 4 bombs dropped 3 hit targets and 1 missed. Hmm but all missed their intended target. I wonder whether GPS guided bombs are really effective in the game. Or perhaps I flew too high...but it should not matter ...

Satellite-guided bombs? F-16s?

Ha! I laugh at you!

No real man would risk the ridicule of his colleagues by suggesting that he should fly anything other than the Aviatik C.I!













...this doesn't make my point any less valid!

Did you drop them using CCRP? I've noticed that at least with laser-guided bombs it's easy to miss by being lax with your CCRP drop and thinking that it's guided anyway

I think you hit the nail Yes I dropped them with CCRP and the bombs were somehow dropped a little late than they should and I don't exactly know why....but I expect the GPS on those bombs will make up for it , well they should
Their accuracy is within less than 15 or even 10 feet I believe. They should hit!!!
