RE: F-14D Cockpit
Where you found this? I doubt this. Why? I peacetime twin engine fighters do not fly dofights. If one engine have to be shut down or malfunctioned, the pilot flyo home and not perform simulated air combat… Do you play football with a borken leg…? This seems to me a very big UL…
The acceleration capability of F-14A is almost the same as MiG-21bisz if the red jet uses the “special thrust” mode. In Vietnam north forces caputred at least one F-5. During the tests in USSR the Soviets was shocked that even the most advanced MiG-21 was inferior in dogfight comparing with F-5…
Top Gun joke……

RE: F-14D Cockpit
Wow…nice vid! Might try to contact the guy for the original footage for some in cockpit sounds…we’ll see…he is quite active on the YouTube comments…
Otherwise…zero work this weekend on the pit…no progress…
Hey mate, you’re doing great work! You deserve personal time, don’t let a little rest on the weekends get you down.

RE: Air-to-Air Refueling Tutorial
B.B,
Are you using the “realistic” re-fueling setting ?
If so, what FPS are you getting (CTR-Z, r), and what joystick / controller are you using?
Maybe because I’m getting low fps (~12) / and therefore control lag, but at “realistic”, I find it impossible to even stay level approaching the tanker (@ ~<1,000 feet distance), never mind making contact
Mike
Yes, I am using realistic.
I fly with a Saitek X-52. When I’m recording I get 30 FPS, not recording I get 65+ in that TE.
I don’t play BMS at framerates that low, but my guess is that it is much harder to fly precisely at 12 FPS. I’d recommend turning your graphics settings down a lot - open up the BMS config, uncheck the shaders box, start adding things back in if you want more prettiness and high enough framerate. I find anything below 20 to be extremely unpleasant, 24 is the minimum I shoot for in campaign flight.

RE: Air-to-Air Refueling Tutorial
Updated the video guide, this time HD should be available once youtube is done converting it.
Now includes visual approach to the tanker and basics of finding the tanker from outside visual range.

RE: Air-to-Air Refueling Tutorial
Turned off my HUD for about 70 minutes of formation flying today Boxer, it really is helpful! I stopped looking at my instruments almost entirely, it felt way easier than I thought it was. I found myself making much smoother inputs, and maintaining position was easier because I wasn’t shifting my focus. Thanks for the tip!

RE: Air-to-Air Refueling Tutorial
I definitely appreciate your wisdom Boxer, I’m going to update the video (and this time I’ll make sure youtube processes it into 1080p!), and I’ve updated the PDF.
Good point about looking at the tanker rather than HUD/instruments, for me the HUD is definitely a crutch so that I know when my inputs are getting too erratic and I can control them, but I’m primarily looking up at the bottom of the tanker. I don’t have a huge amount of BMS stick time (<100 hours), and none of that is close formation flying, so for the most part I’m learning as I teach.
Thanks for the detailed input from a pro!
