Avilator

I really don't need to ponder this one, but it really doesn't apply here. What plane has the vast majority of its mass concentrated at the front and back? What exactly do you mean by a vertical turn? A loop? If so, you may be pulling too many Gs at the beginning, causing you to lose energy early. Try pulling a little less. Can anyone that has looped the Hawg comment on how many g's to pull to start a loop?

Come on people, why are we even discussing this?:doh:

You are correct. This applies more when the aircraft is already in a turn and the pilot applies aileron to level the wings, while also holding opposite rudder. The inside wing, which is going slower, will attempt to generate more lift. The increase in angle of attack by the aileron will stall the inside wing first. The outside wing then snaps over the top, resulting in an erect (normal) spin. A flat spin will result if you botch the control inputs or have a very aft CG. Of course, all of this applies only if you are going near stall speed first. It also excludes snap rolls, which are a type of spin as well, usually only feasible in aerobatic aircraft.

Given the straight wings and low-mounted horizontal tail, the A-10 really can't get into a "deep stall." Also, we can't forget the effect the center of gravity has on spinning characteristics of an airplane. i.e., rearward CG=flatter spins. So it's not only the design that determines how it stalls, but the CG as well.

I would think that the GCAS would be multiple redundant, no? Also, do they have synthetic vision capabilities?

Given that DCS does not model civilian air traffic, I personally think that chances of getting missed approach procedures are slim. Also, it is most common for a category 1 ILS to have a missed approach point/minimum descent altitude somewhere around 300 feet AGL. I would set my altitude alerter to that altitude for starters.

Do you mean the entire screen blanking out? If you do, that's not smoke, that's the wing.

The B-36 had 10 engines, so it would be the dreaded 9-engine approach. But then the F-16 would be flying in the wrong time period. The aircraft in question is a B-52.

If you look at the conveniently provided image, you can see two sets of knobs. The ones close together on the bottom can be spanned with one hand and are thus moved in concert. The upper knobs are further apart and are meant to be moved individually.

Looks like with some improvement that it could possibly provide head tracking. Cool stuff.:thumbup:

lolz!:D

Coming from a barrel that's tipped in chrome as well.:)

Ahh, the default FSX Piper Cub. :D

*whisper* You forgot to remove the USAF labels! :music_whistling:

KillaALF is correct, the wavelength used for the "sickly" lighting is tuned so that it does not "flood" NVGs, like any other color would.

Hey now, lets not start any fights!:D

I think he means larger square covers to go over vents and such, as opposed to say, pitot covers.

:megalol::megalol: I don't see any Vodka.:D

After browsing The Modern Hog Guide, this is what I can see: There are pins with streamers on the eject handles and the canopy jettison handle. The pitots on top of the seat have soft covers with a single streamer connecting both of them. The throttle has a hard shell that covers only the right side, and it also has a streamer.

Request noted!:thumbup:

:D

@Eddie: Would you buy them if they were black with red "Remove Before Flight" streamers? Or do you prefer an entirely red cover? To everyone: How many letters and lines worth of embroidery would you like to see?

They could have said "insert weapon name/designation here." But that wouldn't have led to any friendly comedy trolling.:D And that's just not acceptable.:(

^^ Someone finally got the joke? Yay!:)

I can: See my previous post.:thumbup:
