As there is no formal mission tonight, Paul has agreed that I can run the Illumination Rockets training again.
We last run this on the 6th April. It maybe new for you Alan.
I'll be on TS tonight at 1915hrs.
Here's the brief:-

Probably not going to make it this evening. Heavily into producing a Helios profile, and I am quite rusty on lua programming.

Alan,
Can the Huey launch M257 illumination rockets?
My research says Yes.
Sorry you can't fly tonight. Next time.

Yes, they can. 'Chute deploys after about 17 seconds. Have around 20 degree pitch and fire a single to judge illum area distance.... then Kentucky windage adjustment. Easy enough but takes practice...
Kind Regards
Chris

Here's a 10min 1080p clip from last night.
It shows our taxi, part of the transit, and all the co-ordinated attacks on Target North.
