Is it possible that there is some modification needed on the inside? If so, maybe one of you could give me a picture for it, and maybe also some drawings or the dimensions of the UARRSI itself.Īlso does anyone know where the UARRSI door and controls are located? I've read somewhere about an aerial refuel slipway door control handle which needs to be pulled to open the door and pushed to close it, but I haven't found any information on where it is exactly located. I have found some pictures showing it from the outside but with the estimated dimensions of the whole pressure box of the receptacle it always penetrates through the cockpit ceiling. It is almost impossible to find any detailed information about it. Retrieved 7 February 2022.I'm currently trying to model an accurate C-130J for a flightsimulator (FlightGear) but I'm a bit stuck with the UARRSI.

In addition, the scenario has "start" and "finish" points, and each run in the Mach Loop is timed to let the player know the time per lap.
Flightgear c 130 simulator#
The simulator streams Bing Maps data to reproduce the contours and appearance of the loop and surrounding countryside with an increasing range of jet aircraft available to make the flight.Īn alternative is the FlightGear flight simulator, created by the FGUK community as an add-on for the simulator, which provides the player with the challenge of guiding aircraft at high speed through rings that mark the route.

Arguably the most accurate representation is with Microsoft's Flight Simulator platform, launched in 2020.

It is possible to fly the Mach Loop using a flight simulator. One popular viewing point is the carpark located on the site of Llyn y Tri Greyenyn. The Mach Loop is among the few places in the world where photographers can see combat aircraft flying below them. In addition to this all non-UK based aircraft are also prohibited from using the Loop unless part of a UK exercise. Since this time RAF frontline squadrons operating Typhoons and F-35Bs have not flown the Loop. In December 2018 a recommendation was circulated within the Ministry of Defence (MoD) which resulted in a reduction in the number of aircraft using the Mach Loop. Aircraft from other European nations have been sighted training in the Mach Loop, such as Belgian F-16 Stingers. Air Force F-15C Eagles and F-15E Strike Eagles which are based at RAF Lakenheath and MC-130 and V-22 Osprey from RAF Mildenhall. Aircraft seen in the area include Royal Air Force Airbus A400M, Typhoon, Hawk jets and C-130J and Short Tucano as well as U.S.
