RE: 3-to-4 Weeks
Well crap, its finally time for me to buy a new computer, since this will not run on my current potato. I can only spawn and fly out over the ocean and play or else its a slideshow. But holy crap does this look great, thanks a million all involved.

RE: Are there any planes in this sim up to the level of the F-16?
Floggers are real hot rods in terms of acceleration. They are very sleek with their wings swept back, and have a lot of thrust. High thrust + low drag = hauling the mail, quickly like.
But this is true for most swing wing aircraft, like the F-14 and F-111. Make a TE fighting both of those jets and see if they can outrun amraams in the NEZ. For that matter, try it against F-22s and eurofighters. If they cant outrun a slammer but the MiG can, you MAY have a point. But anyway, I just chimed in to say that the flogger is known as a very quick jet.
Oh, and while I agree they can move pretty good, if you cant gun up a su-25, you just need more stick time. Really they are only tricky if you let them make you overshoot. High yo-yo is your friend.
I have no comment on the destructive power of an AIM-120 and or the toughness of the SU-25.

RE: Read the Manual eh?? = useless so far… because I did not look hard enough
Dude…you need like 20 buttons mapped to a joystick to play this game. The rest you can just click on in the pit with the mouse.
-DMS up, down, left ,right
-TMS up, down, left, right
-radar cursor up ,down, left, right
-weapon pickle button
-fire gunsJust map those buttons and hop into dogfight mode. When the time comes you get bored with that, and you wanna learn to drop jdams and LGBs, then its dash 1 time, or youtube time.

RE: Iff you could have one thing in the next update it would be. (Archive)
“Iff” I may put this thread back in the right context…and beg everyone’s pardon if this has already been addressed. No time to read all 40 pages of the thread…
What one thing I could have in the next update would be the removal of that “D-bag” narrator who says “That was a real goat rope!” & “Ya know the airlines are hirin’!” after dogfights! (Sooo freakin’ annoying!!) :mad:
If you dont know who the best fighter pilot is, it aint you.

RE: Read the Manual eh?? = useless so far… because I did not look hard enough
Seriously though, if you just watch training videos on youtube you can learn enough to be able to do everything important. I was kicking the crap out of the AI in a few weeks to months, tops, just from youtube vids and sparse reading of the manual . If you can only learn from a text format for some reason, then have fun with the manuals, its all there. But Ive had enough textbooks in college, else I might be in a real viper today, so youtube it is. You can learn enough to be competent from the videos, krause’s to be specific. TMS and DMS are the only freaking buttons you really need anyway ( hotas rules, thanks general dynamics!).

RE: F-16 Fuel Quantities (was Power generation & "environmentalism")
I see you are also a fan of Dos Gringo’s tale of how they flew the whole mission on alt hold…! XD
DROPPIN’ JDAM!
Holy crap this stuff is hilarious

RE: A Navy test pilot suggests that the F-16 pitch FLCS is not a g-command system
http://fightersweep.com/1904/hornet-vs-viper-part-three/
This author ( who flew both ) says they both auto trim for 1 G flight also.

RE: I always wondered what happens when nature calls while in the pit…funny story...
A similar situation happened to a RIO in an F-4 IIRC

RE: Refueling tips anyone?
Who’s flying?? Darth Vader?? Excellent video!!!
I think somebody just came up with an idea for a mod…

RE: Is it possible to visually spot an AAM heading towards you ?
Now I know some people take issue with the man, but Chuck Yeager claimed to be able to see high altitude german fighters from ~50 miles out, at least enough to know that “something” was there.

RE: How to make fog darker?
Dont have anything to add to help with your problem, but if you see fog up at 19,000ft, it is in fact clouds.

RE: SA-10
You get no launch warning, like with TWS launch of an adder or amraam, I get that. But the terminal guidance of the missile is SARH, so why no RWR warning at that point? Wiki says some of them have IR terminal guidance.

RE: Tom's Cat
Ive been using this, default F-16 pit with F-14 wing model, made by Owsen. Its nice having a fully functional FCR MFD with which to rain phoenixes down on bears and blackjacks.

RE: Tom's Cat
So…the F-14B pit is no more? Please say that isn’t so. That thing looked too good.

RE: Early F-16A cockpit
That is obviously a museum of some type so no the ejection seat won’t be live.
Still good form not to touch it eh? Like trigger discipline with a firearm, loaded or not.
When I was a kid I got to sit in an F-16 that was loaded up with ordnance. I remember being deathly afraid to touch the trigger on the joystick, despite them telling me I could

RE: Rudder pedals in mid air
It moves like that IRL too, its just that you aren’t supposed to use them for pretty much any reason in flight. And yes the FLCS is the one really controlling the rudder, you can mash on the pedals and if HAL thinks thats a bad idea, they wont move much, if at all.

RE: How to use nukes????
In all seriousness, its the same as dropping mk-82s. The nuclear consignment isnt modeled. Just make sure master arm is on. You may need to adjust the release angle if you are still having problems.
Or just select manual mode on the sms page and drop it within 20miles of the target.

RE: One Particlesystem mod
I have the same problem, with two different installs.
