Awesome job Belsimtek. This one is really a winner!!!

Real nice!! Good news

On the real Huey you do not feel any vibration effect on the flight controls different than the whole helicopter "vibrating" itself. Thus the hydraulic flight controls do not have specific vibration themselves. Addin an artificial vibration to the flight controls would make precission flying even more difficult and unrealistc. :joystick:

What smoke do you mean?

The drop tanks feeding problem haas already been reported and it is being adressed. It will be fixed in next patches.

To obtain ground power you do not actually use the radios. Make sure the airfield belongs to your Coalition. Make sure you have the Canopy open. If this does not work, please attach a short track here.

This has been reported and hopefully will be fixed soon. :thumbup: As mentioned here avoid cargos other than USA or Russia on the meantime. Helicopter can be of any country but use the cargo of USA or Russia whichever is in your coalition

Here on this link. It is a great skin. :thumbup: http://www.lockonfiles.com/files/file/2747-dcs-p-51d-was-that-too-fast/ Take a look at the last pic :bounce:

This is a know issue and it has been reported. Thanks

Great post Maico. Great advices!! :thumbup:

You can use the AWACS as long as the mission editor has asigned that AWACS an UHF frequency and you have the same frequency preseted on your AN/ARC-72 Command radio. regarding finding the targtes, welcome to the 50's where the main target location system was MK1 Eyeball :D it is indeed difficult. The Mig-15 is a very small aircraft (33 feet wingspawn) and very hard to locate. You have to train your eye for this. :joystick: For training, you can activate the labels or use the F-10. if the Mig is flying high you may see its contrails. The AWACS or the F-10 View simulating a GCI radar can help you to close on the Mig, but at this point you must locate it visually. With a bit of eye training, good light conditions it is not so difficult once you get your eye used to the Mig shape and size. Anyway, easy it is not.

Reported. It is being investigated. Thanks

Nice video. Nice deflection shoot. :thumbup: You can even get a better performance if you use the A-4 gunsight. UNCAGE the sight with the Mechanical uncage lever and set the correct Mig-15 wingspawn that is around 33 feet.

The system is properly modelled to what it was that specific attitude indicator. Those were early models and they had a different behaviour than modern western ones like the one of the A-10C for instance. On this indicator up to the first 27º either dive or climb, the reference is the "horizont bar" and beyond those 27 degress the the spere is the moving reference. It didn't worked as the modern ones neither it had the same performance and capabilities than modern instruments so you cannot apply today's instrument logic to it. And yes, it takes time to get used to this but this is how it was by then :joystick: Note Thanks to this post I just detected a small issue with the movement range of the horizont bar on the 27º range that will be reported inmediately Thx :thumbup:

To make a good comparison, you need first to find the proper picture of the real cockpit. The sabre has been a highly modified aircraft with a lot of different versions and cockpit layouts. The windshield was even modified and changed from the early versions of the Sabre. None of the pictures you posted here are the same model as the DCS model. You can see that some are not even F-86F series some does not even have the same type of instruments. I do not mean you are wrong, but I suggest you find the correct cockpit piture to compare and extract conclusions

Servus. The flight manual talks about a limit of 25 knots that is 12.8 mters per second wind. however the same manual recomend finding a different runway or airport if possible. You are trying it at 15 mts per second that is outside of what the manual recommend. The Sabre is not a "easy" aicraft to fly, needs a bit of practice. 25 knot direct crosswind is a challenge in any aircraft even for experienced pilots. I suggest you start practicing with smaller crosswind components and keep increasing it once you are more confortable with the aircraft behaviour.

The A-4 sight gyros are very sensitive and fragile to acceleration and for this reason the sight comes with 2 different Cage systems. The sight must be Mechanically CAGED all times except when in combat. So when you enter an AIR TO AIR GUNS combat situation, follow the next steps: Gun-Missile Switch in GUN UNCAGE the mechanical sight. The sigh is now UNCAGED that is the sight gyros are free to move. Now you need to enter the target wingspan on the sight. The moment you have the enemy target in front of you at the appropiate radar range, the radar target red light will go On telling you it has a valid target locked and that the radar is feeding range distance to the A-4 Sight. When you are approaching a firing solution and in order to reset the sight gyros accumulated drift errors before firing, press the ELECTRICAL CAGE. What you are doing is a temporary gyro "reset" while you keep the button pressed. Keep it pressed while you feel you are tracking the target on a stable condition and THEN RELEASE the ELECTRICAL CAGE button. The sight now is UNCAGED, has no drift errors, has the target wingspawn, knows the taget distance and knows your aircraft accelearion forces. Move the piper over the target and fire. You cannot miss. :thumbup: The sight is very effective and the USAF pilots were able to score deflection hits with it at the maximum weapon range. Underastand this, The reason for the ELECTRICAL CAGE is to provide a fast temporary SIGHT CAGE just before firing and without the pilot having to move his hand out of the throttle or stick to activate the Mechanical CAGE. This way when he is tracking the target and using the ELECTRICAL CAGE system, he can temporary CAGE the gyros and thus eliminate previous drift that may have been caused by combat maneuvering to get into the firing possition. Hope this explains the system a bit better :joystick:

Your rudder is effective till 50 knots. Use it to keep directional control on the runway. Do not use the wheel brakes let alone the nose wheel steering just right after touchdown, For the whlee brakes wait till at least you are about 80 knots and use them gently. let the aircraft decelerate by itself on runway. The brakes of the Sabre are not as efficient as modern jets.

The sabre of the video has a wing with slats and thus has a different performance and procedures than the Belsimtek module that is a F-86F-35 with a wing with no slats. The Sabre has no internal flap possition indicator, you can see the flaps possition looking over your shoulder or with experience you know how many seconds you need to get them where you want them. So the ammount of flap to be used also depends of runway avalaible, type of take off, aircraft load. You use as much as you think fits to your needs. The flight manual says that if during takeoff you retract the flaps at speeds below 160 knots you will experience a pitch down.

The answer is here.

It is a known issue on the Beta version

When you select one of the external drop tanks, you are pressurizing it.

The system is designed this way. If you have no external drop tanks, place the Drop tank selector in "All Tanks Off" If you have external tanks yoiu have to place the selector on OUTBOARD ON & JETT or INBOARD ON & JETT. If you carry both types, always use and drop first the OUTBOARD. When you have selected one of the tanks what you do is to pressurize that tank so it feeds fusselage internal tank. The way to know if your tanks are empty is: The moment your drop tanks aer epmty, you will see how the main fuel gauge starts to show comsumption from the fuel total (While feeding from the tanks the internal tanks are supposed to be full so the fuel gauge shows full since it does not show drop tank contents) In case you are flying with both OUTBOARD and INBOARD Tanks, as mentioned, first use the OUTBOARD. When those tanks are empty, you will have a light near the tank selector ON, so you you know that the OUTBOARD tank is empty. The light only shows OUTBOARD empty tank. To know when the IMBOARD is empty as mentiones check when your main fuel gauge shows fuel comsumption. :thumbup:
