May 2024 - The Big Picture (Patreon)

Hi folks,

This month started with the difficult task of finishing the F-15E air-to-ground weapon employment procedures. I grossly underestimated the amount of work involved, bringing the current page count in the 600s already. Utter madness. I think I may have gone a bit overboard in terms of how much info I added (and whether all of it was really necessary or not), but I guess that's a lesson I'll have to reflect upon at a later time. After that comes air-to-air and IFF, which should hopefully be more straightforward.

In other news, I explored the Kola Map. An inspiring map. It still has a long way to go before reaching the "Syria Hall of Fame" status, but overall I think the location itself is really interesting compared to other theaters we've flown into over the last few years.

I thought I would also share some of my medium-term plans. Once the Strike Eagle's Air-to-Air section is done, I'll take a short break and work on updating the F-16C Viper. The F/A-18C Hornet and A-10C Warthog will get their datalink update, and after that work will resume on the Strike Eagle. The AH-64 update will come next, and then... the REAL fun begins.
