Just bought a damper Can any real Apache guy tell me how stiff is to move the Apache's pedal in real life so i can set a realistic damper setting

If you find problems that cannot make your f18 compatible to SRS "such as intermittent unstable transmission or cannot use "radio switch work as ptt" here is serval possible way 1 some older module like 18 or harrier are not compatible to "radio switch as PTT" function in SRS, you need to set the key bind yourself, other modules work just fine without the key bind 2 try to change to other key bind to the f18's radio, some hotas' buttons are pretty wizardry which may cause unstable connection,

And the comm 1 in hornet behave wiredly, sometimes it is transmitting, sometimes it interrupts intermittently, and sometimes it don’t transmit , when I’m holding the ptt button

I mean without setting those binding in srs, others works just fine like f14,

I’ll try it when l’m home, I’m on my way back

Hello, i find out recently that some early modules like（f18 or f16 or av8 harrier) are not compatible with SRS's "radio switch work as PTT" function. I have to set the dedicated key bind in SRS to use the radio in those aircraft, and is pretty inconvenient for me Many modules are compatible (even early one like uh1) are compatible with this function. It would be good if those modules were also compatible with this function

I recommend to use the free flight mission in Caucasus to train with this, with more training you can understand about the aircraft more, and with greater flexibility， some of the important details are hard to explain and is wordy, i think the reflected simulation or the heatblur manual should make a tutorial about it

you can also try other way. 1 you have a good spatial awareness that can imagenate the direction of the carrier runway and fly and align towards it, which could be very confusing sometimes. 2 you fly a circle around the carrier and align to the back, which is very unreliable because you don't know how much turn is right to maintain a circle 3 you f10

Hello, I would like to share my experience on how to align to the correct heading to the back of the carrier in f14's case 3. Before contacting the carrier, make sure you switch on all the things right(TACAN, ICLS, Data Link, Radio, etc....). After you contact the carrier and receiving its "final bearing" and turning the course nob to its direction in HSI, Here is how to align to the back of carrier: 1. If the given final bearing is (let's say 57 degrees), then you should steer your aircraft's heading to the opposite side of that direction (+180, 237 degrees)，which is the "exact opposite side of the of outer course needle, the side without the arrow", and fly towards it. 2. If nothing goes wrong, you will see that the direct "direction indicating small triangle"(the outer most small one), is slowing and graduately moving towards the outer course needle(from either left or right), meaning you are aligning. 3. After the triangle and the outer course needle is getting fairly close or overlapping, the inner needle will start to approach to the center, meaning you are getting very close to the course, it could be the time when you should begin steering the nose back to the course arrow direction. 4. However, there could be times when you will find that the outer triangle will get really slow aligning to the outer course arrow when getting close, that is the time your should steer BACK left or right to the course direction and start aligning, 5. If i did not get it wrong, "the outer course arrow is the course direction of your aircraft" and the "inner one is the course of the carrier" 6. If you are getting aligned closer(triangle and arrow are closing) and start steering the aircraft to the side where the inner arrow rest on(either left or right side), the course will align more precisely and faster, which is when you steer to the side the inner needle rest on (like 90 degrees left or right to the outer arrow) . Many Tomcatters do know how to do approach in case 3 either manual or ACLS through Youtube tutorial, but they find it struggling to establish the correct heading to the back of the carrier, the HSI symbology of the cat is not so easily understandable to that of the hornet. nullThat's all I got, you would need more experience and improvise to do this thing, my explanation is pretty unflexible f14 case3 heading .trk

Agree

I heard there is a new tail rotor model that is WIP on Apache any news about it ? Or it already implemented. By the way, the rudder trim during ground taxi is still off

Oh, I figured out the issue now, the pilots have to steer the hud reticle to the cpg crossing, and then there will be launch approval. otherwise it won’t shoot

Isn’t it should be directly point to the target and then launch approve beeping?

Hello, i just start to learn how to fly and fight with Hind recently. One of the preplexing thing when I use atgm at cpg station and possibly a bug is 1 the launch approval standard for atgm is werid, when I switch on all the necessary things right, the atgm doesn't want to launch unless the "aiming scope" is pointing probably straight and level, instead of pointing down towards the target, as a results, i have to firstly find that sweet spot where launching light &beeping happens, and then launch and then steer the missle to the target. 2 If I cannot get that launch approval, i cycle the "OBSERVE" switch on the panel, and suddenly the launch approval beeps and can be launched again, and after a few seconds it cannot be launched(beeping and light go off), if I launch it before it go off, it still could be launched. The hind atgm launch in the trainning mission don't behave that mythically at all,the launch approval is much more stable and can be launch when pointing down to the target. So it could be a bug, here is my file mi24 cpg aiming bug .trk mi24 cpg aiming bug 2 .trk mi24 cpg aiming bug 3 .trk

"Emergency autopilot disengage" will also disengage 2 SAS channel making aircraft unstable

5 When sufficiently slowed(100knots >）intermittently apply brakes to slow the aircraft, as full braking may also casue sideslip

Hello, i want to share some of my experience about controlling the f14 after touch down on runway. 1 f14 performs very differently with f18 after touch down, f18 is much more stable and doesn't sideslip easily, f14 is much more likely to sideslip if handled incorrectly, thus more experience is needed. 2 Before runway touch down, make sure you set you anti skid spolier brake to "both" or "spoiler brake", preferable to "both", as it allows greater control and greater speed reduction. 3 Make sure your wheel brake is unpressed(if you have one), as the little pressure would be detected and would cause differential braking (if you set your left&right pedal brake seperately in axis command), that would result in immediate and significant sideslip after touchdown 4 For wheel brake, apply both wheel brake after the speed is reduce to below 100 knots, as it would make sideslip much less likely, if still sideslip, immediately engage nose wheel steering to correct it. F14 requires greater skill to fly than hornet, even after touchdown, don't underestimate the handling after the runway touchdown, it can still spoil your landing if handled incorrectly, and trust me, it is more likely than you think.

A little question, is the left & right wheel brake pedals on the real tomcat, control the wheel brake on both side of the nose wheel seperatively, or one press on either side of the pedal, collectively stop both wheel brake left and right?

the true proble is, some people like me, switch the hud mode to A/G already on the ground, which is wrong, it should be switch on in the air, it would make erro, and it ultimately casue you unable designate

Here is a tip if you want to do computer target bombing in f14a/b If you see the diamond flashing constantly and cannot designate, don't think that it is the computer loading In fact you should move the diamond downward, then would find it noting being flashy and can designate target And don't switch Hud to A/G on the ground, it would make error

Nah, still waiting for my delivery, might take more than 1 month

Please, have you report my issue on ah64?

So i just still wait? for a imperfection that so salient?
