  1. Ouch. You chose a difficult path...Academy is the hardest route to get comission, then ROTC and easiest is OTS. Good luck and don't suck.
  2. Interesting stats; Russian side is at 91.8 vs 96.6 on English speaking side.
  3. Here's a perspective from approach / departure controller. http://zlsa.github.io/atc/
  4. It sure does "looks like it". But looks can be deceiving ;)
  5. Typically you have either Take-off Rated Thrust (TRT) which is limited to 5 minutes. Or MCT which stands for Maximum Continuous Thrust. So you take off in TRT and then set MCT. Usually pilot sets certain engine parameters, releases brakes and co-pilot adjusts to TRT. Once aircraft gets of the ground and cleans up, pilot will set MCT. Those values are calculated by density pressure, temperature and other atmospheric conditions. Why? Engine wear and tear. Most engines can go up to 105%+...but they are limited by ITT or other limitation. So if you run at 700C for X, that engine will have to be replaced or refurbished. The only time you want max thrust out of your engine is if you don't want to hit terrain...given that it has a 1.0 k/d ratio. FYI difference between MCT and TRT is small....680C and 700C for engine I'm playing around with right now.
  6. You can't pull too many Gs and/or go too fast. (too fast is around 400kph)
  7. Right when you rotate and set desired pitch, your finger should be running trim to relieve force. Any time you change flight parameters, you should be trimming. Bank? trim. Change of power? trim. Climb / descent? Trim.
  8. Do positive trim before attempting to turn off stability augmentation system.
  9. "S" is the magical button. Remember to have positive AOA before pressing it. :D
  10. Figured out what the issue was. I had to re-calibrate it. Now I can selected it as axis. Thanks for suggestion.
  11. Does anyone know how to use and setup POV2 (metal looking HAT between S1 and S2) on joystick?
  12. Mig-15 Documentaries and videos. In Russian In Russian In Russian In Russian In Russian In English In English The Planes of Fame's MIG-15 performs a flight demonstration for the Planes of Fame Monthly event for September, 2012. Running checklist / take-off in Mig-15
  13. Here's a nice BDA video of rocket artillery vs tanks. http://youtu.be/U10dDRKh_lU
  14. Remove lock pin - move gear handle in desired position - wait for safe indication lights - move gear into neutral position
  15. And you can activate the key? Interesting...
  16. Iran is coming in new map and I would love to have following added; SAM systems HQ-2 / CSA-1 Guideline MIM-23 HAWK S-200 / SA-5 GAMMON AAA KS-19 SRBM SCAD-B and C Just for a start :D
  17. ..... b3923acad0ceprem-rapport-mh-17-en-interactief.pdf
  18. Sweet. As others said, manual would be nice as well. (I'm so demanding haha)
  19. I may have to buy this http://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Throttle-Quadrant-300-133/dp/B0002A59Z4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410251128&sr=8-1&keywords=The+CH+Throttle+Quadrant just to use this bloody thing. Can't wait for proper simulation of this. Dora changed my view based on simulation. Jug will probably do same.
  20. May I suggest one thing. Capitalize on this hype and allow per-purchase. (includes releasing keys to the backers)
  21. If they were using submunition / or EFP, I would think there be more videos showing it. I haven't seen any yet that display burn through.
  22. It depends. What airspeed is this thing trimmed for (assuming positive stability)? I can fly a brick if it goes fast enough. Below certain speed, applied trim will run out of desired effect. aka roll / dive into terrain unless it picks up enough speed to re-balance self.
