Today, after updating, I was trying to connect to an MP server, and timed out connecting to it. I saw the timeout dialog, but after I dismissed it, I could not open the main menu. I ended up having to go into task manager to quit the game. This happened several times. I feel like this was happening a while back, but was fixed?

Yeah, I don't get why you'd need the zero doppler filter for that reason then.
-
Is PD any more prone to seeing the inside of the radome versus pulse radar?
-
I'm not sure it really says that, or perhaps it's badly worded. If you look at the diagram of the DDD with an target at 7 various aspects and rates of closure, only the one flying at 90 degrees to the radar is invisible.

I think some were taken directly from Navy, Grumman, or Hughes sources. Some appear to have been redrawn in a slightly different style, presumably based on those sources. Here's an example from Stevenson's book, which is credited to U.S. Navy:

Fwiw, most of these graphics appeared, in their original form, in James Perry Stevenson's "F-14 Tomcat," from around 1975.

In DCS, at least, it's possible to move the wings just after shutting down the engines. There's still hydraulic pressure, I'd assume.
-
So should it be yellow tinted tape then?
-
If you don't have a stick extension, try refueling with the wings in bomb mode. It tends to be less pitch sensitive.

Here's me last night, 26 miles away when the first missile impacts. I wasn't even trying that hard, fwiw (cranking, but not quite to gimbal limits). Launch was at 53 miles from 40k.

Probably Kurt Schroeder, as he's been interviewed a few times. I think Dale Snodgrass (whose father worked at Grumman) also called it a 10G airplane. -
I'd be surprised if those buttons got pressed enough to get worn out from use faster than any other buttons in the jet. It also seems like the issue only affected the 2-stage buttons. For example, the master caution light/button doesn't have anything retaining it when the metal plate-fix shows up on the ACM panel.
-
I assumed it was more of a design issue with those buttons.
-
How did they fix them?

My copy of "The Encyclopedia of World Airpower" shows 82,000lbs, as does the appendix of Heater Heatley's "The Cutting Edge."
