  1. Just made a small list with pictures and some info to help identify the effectiveness the SAM-systems since I couldn't find any such document anywhere. I bet there are others who, unlike some of you (I'm sure ;)), haven't memorized how fast every SAM-system can kill you. So here's to you! :clown_2: Edit: Ugh... Just remembered I downloaded the rar at the wiki made by toby23. It appearantly has pretty much the same and other data. Doh! SAM List Small.pdf

  2. Damn my landings don't look anywhere as smooth as that. I think I flare too early. Depth I think yours was great. I need more practice.. :joystick:

  3. Stop offering your 2c. Make sure you know what you're talking about first ... Wrong. The correct speeds are described in the -1. Once more, wrong. Landing are speeds also described in -1, and I don't recall anything about an approach speed of 175. ... what? Wrong. You land at the beginning of the runway, not mid-way, and certainly not at such a high speed. No thanks. I suggest you learn proper landing technique before offering to educate people. :)

  4. I am going to offer you a refund also. Your procedures are far afield from how to operate a real jet aircraft, and have no bearing on reality. Additionally, I have found that the real world technique that Paul mentioned: - As soon as you touchdown speed brakes full open - Use the ENTIRE runway to slow to taxi speed - Use wheelbrakes as needed as you approach the end of the runway is what works bet in the sim as well.

  5. Here are my 2 cents.. Firstly, your approach speed should be takeoff speed + 30 KIAS .. Meaning: Takeoff ROTATE = 145 KIAS... Landing speed = 175 KIAS.. Secondly, brakes deployed at said speed (175) for 30% (no calibration on the cockpit, just visually).. when at the first part of the runway.. Next, reduce throttle to idle, and open brakes fully at midway the runway.. Finally, upon touchdown, engage anti-skid, NWS, and slam on the brake once you have aligned the wheels.. Be careful of jittery. They'll total your nosewheel. With practice, you'll know when too much rudder correction is enough to keep you centered on the runway.. If you would like a track let me know..

  7. Более уважительным тоном, дяденька. Ты являешся лицом серьезной конторы. Это мы, невежественные юзеры форума можем писать всякую чушь и оскорбления. А тебе- не пристало.

  8. You know...sometimes reading threads that I would otherwise find innocuous strangely make me angry. I read through this thread and I am amazed at people's comments about pricing. The price doesn't suit you, fine, you ahve 2 options. Don't buy it or hey, make one yourself. Until you have tried making something like this yourself you most likely have very little idea about how much work goes into a product like this (I develop in iOS...I do). Why people feel compelled to tell the world about why they think the prices is so high really mystifies me. Opinions are like armpits. People have more than one and they usually stink. 30 buck is not unreasonable, especially given the niche market of this. boarder isn't going to sell a 100,000 copies of this is he? To cover his costs (and I'm sure his time is worth every bit as we think our time is worth) I don't think what he asks is unreasonable. Is a little high? Maybe. Is comparable with what you would pay for any other hobby for an accessory? Yes. As for the Android stuff. *sigh* People also seem to think that when you program stuff all of sudden you have indepth knowledge of every variant of programming language and the devices to run it on. If you really want it on your Android, program it yourself or approach someone to do it for you. It's for iOS....get over it. It already takes significant effort to develop it for one device what makes people think that us hobbyist programmers are just dying to spend even more time learning other platforms that don't interest us just to cater for their device choice. There is this sense of entitlement people on the Internet have just rubs me the wrong way....a lot.

  9. This is how I've done it... I combined a few pictures for illustration ("a picture speaks a thousand words") Insert A: this is the bracket I use now. It is not good looking but it is functional. It is adjustable in height and length and I can rotate the stick around its axes. I twisted the stick for 15° to the left. Even though I can fly “normally” I should make a script in T.A.R.G.E.T. for this 15° adjustment. Insert B: another option which I have ready and have to experiment with it. Insert C: you can see how it’s fixed. Insert D: also this is an option which I like but do not know yet if it will work in practice.
