This is already reported in the bug tracker. This I have noticed before but never thought it was worth reporting. I can add it to the tracker. This is new to me, I didn't know there should be lights in the airbrake. I'll add it to the tracker.

I had a conversation with a HB dev who explained how it is implemented in the code as an effect on the doppler measurement error. Here's the Google translation of the text:

Need @MYSE1234's help! Here's the excerpt he provided at the time: I reposted it here: https://discord.com/channels/1071433028045377637/1071578053584638093/1077408862862311535

Are you still making updates? There's an issue with the description of the LAND/SJÖ switch. It changes the mode of the Doppler radar, not the radar altimeter. It appears on pages 114, 115, and 234, at a minimum. There may be other places.

Are you able to see the HUD symbols against direct glare from the sun the off snow, clouds, and water in other modules?

You can't make an accurate model based on qualitative descriptions. The kind of documents and data that is classified or otherwise held from the public is also, not coincidentally, the kind of data you need to make an accurate model. You, the general public, not knowing what's classified about a program might just be by design

I have found the breakers are not fully and robustly implemented. Haven't checked this specific one though, mainly I tested the trim.

Is the first stage considered active when you pull to second stage? I don't have a two stage trigger, but I assumed it would close the trigger safety before you reach the second detent and prevent a weapon release.

(I see @LazyBoot beat me to the solution by a few minutes while I was typing my long-winded answer :D)

If you are using A/A radar lock with T1, you need to clear it to T0 when you exit A/A mode. This has bit me a few times. Basically pressing the "T1 Fix" keybind [not "T1 Fix (Two-stage trigger middle position)"] sets and holds the T1 state as if the pilot is holding the radar trigger at the first detent. What this means is that when you exit A/A mode, he is still holding that trigger and it initiates whatever action T1 does in the new mode, usually a NAV fix. This is probably what's happening. Make sure to clear the T1 state back to T0 (so the pilot releases the radar trigger) before or immediately after exiting A/A mode. I'll also add that when you have an accidental NAV fix like you're seeing, you should be able to revert it by using the RENSA button once on the CK37. Don't press it a second time or you'll clear all the past fixes too.

If you already have a two-position trigger, take the suggestion above and use a modifier button on your throttle. When you hold the modifier, the trigger is T1-TV, and when you don't hold the modifier, the trigger is (no-op)-Weapon Release. Something like that.

I wold not recommend binding T1 like that. It can put the radar and flight computer in unintended modes. For example in NAV mode (which is the mode for HD bombs, btw), initiating a radar or visual nav fix, unlocking the RB75 crosshairs, or toggling the RUTA polygon in SPA mode. In Attack mode, T1 starts a radar fix for the BK90 or RB15, and uncages the RB75 seeker. I think you should only press T1 with intent.

In the real jet, T1 is the first trigger detent and TV is the second. So there is an implied momentary T1 any time you press TV.

Are you doing a nav fix intentionally or by accident when these big jumps in the waypoint locations happen?

Why don't you think that applies?

It's likely something specific about your situation. I can usually place BK90s on target. So l they are useless. Did you check the accuracy of your target waypoint relative to the target radar returns?

Not because it looks true. It's very well established in the field of aerodynamics that bluff bodies with aft flow separation have higher drag than streamlined bodies. You can find this in many textbooks and published papers. While I agree we don't have quantitative data specific to the P-51 canopy, but I'm surprised you would call this an unproven theory.

What leads you to conclude they changed in the jet? Did the LOLA values change? Or are they the same LOLA but they have apparently moved to a different place on the Earth?

New, highly advanced, smokeless, flameless propellant.

The kneeboard will change instantly. The jet's data will change when you load 9099. No need to actually replace the cartridge though, it magically aquires the new data.

My car tells me to close my windows to reduce drag if I go fast with them open. I presume there's some data behind that.

The comment I replied to said VIP/VRP are not relevant or not trained anymore in the era of GPS aided navigation. There was a pre-GPS era and there may well be a post-GPS era too.

My point was about pilot training in peacetime for GPS-denied operations, in preparation for a hypothetical war between the US and a near peer. I have no specific knowledge about what's going on with GPS in Ukraine, but would you be surprised if Russia is jamming it?

All these Viper pilots discovering their inner Viggen driver!

Does anyone believe we'll still have GPS on Day 2 of any war with a near peer?
