F-4E-45MC – Bullseye & Nav References (INS Navigation)
Bullseye and Nav references increase situational awareness and ease navigation. The F-4E-45MC’s AN/ASN-63 INS does not provide ad hoc tools to take advantage of them. However, the crew can easily overcome limitations with the here-discussed tools and some practice.
F-4E-45MC – “Leap Frog” Operations (INS Navigation)
“Leapfrogging” is a handy technique for INS navigation on the F-4E-45MC Phantom II. Its AN/ASN-63 Inertial Navigation System is, in fact, quite basic and allows for the storage of only a single reference point.
TWR, Fuel & Performance: F-4E, MiG-21, Mirage F1 – Comparison
This is the second part of the TWR, Fuel & Performance study about F-4E-45MC, MiG-21bis and Mirage F1CE. This time, the three fighter jets are directly compared.

What if I tell you that the DCS JF-17 has a radar submode not mentioned in the manual that is neither VS nor STT and that enables easy targeting of jamming (AI) targets at 50 nm? Introducing: VSTTWS. Velocity Single-Target-Track While Search.
JF-17 Issues III – KLJ-7 Radar Resolution
Another issue I noticed almost immediately as I dived into the JF-17’s KLJ-7 Fire Control Radar was how accurate and capable it is of discerning closely flying contacts. Are the FCR’s capabilities realistic?
