Yes, 60° bank and nose level, better said velocity vector 0ft/min, means a 2G-turn. Thats how a military pattern should be flown. But as I already said, by the dependence of speed and turn-radius, your downwind to final turn (configured and slow) will of course take some degrees less than from TO/upwind to downwind. We always fly it that way and it's by far not impossible. Remember that you will never go into a pattern with a full loaded AC. If you do I'd guess it's gonna be handled like an emergency where you don't need to stick to the procedures that close. @Geskes: Pls answer my last PM! ;)

Could be, but he was in a perfect six o'clock, close position! ;)

I prefere building 1/48 myself! ;) Low-Vis VF-103 Tomcat B just started. I'll drop you some pics as soon as there is something worth showing.

As long as the map area is large enough, it would suit for every kind of DCS aircraft. I want to see a nice landscape when flying weeds or TO or landing. Else we could stick with the Falcon 4 engine and tell everybody "just fly high enough, it'll look fantastic" ... :puke:

It's because a military pattern is flown with 60degrees bank IRL. As you begin to slow down from downwind to base, the last turn will maybe have a bit less bank.

The 700-10000hp engines have been hot also, I guess... ;)

The coolest part is when one of the tomcat pilots decides to gun in with the gun, after his wingie killed one Zero with an AIM-9. *g*

Nevermind... Got it working. Also found the advices in some of the other ten threads on this topic. ;)

Although it (5.1BETA) should support TIR3, it doesn't find my device. Anyone else?

And I'd honestly be willing to pay far more than 60$ if it would come along with some special features (more AI-Brain, more ME-features, ground crews, etc....). The A-10C is already worth more than 60$!!!

Indeed! Wolfpack markings looked really cool! And the music is pretty cool too!

Too bad they had to "travel" back just before the fun started...

Why was Falcon 4 so succesful? Because it was a MULTIROLE aircraft!!! Guess what we need next? Another helicopter??? A dedicated fighter aircraft?? I guess you know...

DCS:Top-Gun A4 + F-14 Bundle :D

LOL, not even the Ministry of Defense wants it... :music_whistling: And I also wonder how many folks can't stop posting in this thread... WAIT, I just did it too! :doh:

Indeed it would be nice to get a skin-template for the hog by ED, so we could get some custom-skins going.

But by a reason... ;)

As long as you're not using the TM Warthog you have to switch the engines from the OFF to the IDLE-Position. The Warthog has some kind of an obstacle you have to lift the throttle-levers above to ignite/switch off the engines. If you could do this with a X-52 throttle for example, you could easily turn off your engines in-flight accidently. That's why you need extra key-commands for that.

Hm... makes me think... Are Gandalf and Dumbledore the same person??? :huh: :D

I think it depends on altitude, temp and humidity wether this vapor becomes visual or not. And no, that is not modelled. I don't think it is planned for the near future, as we currently got a sub-sonic aircraft and there are more important things to be done that are not pure eyecandy. However, for a possible fighter-module of DCS it would be a nice little feature.

It'll be there, but you won't notice it. :music_whistling::lol: Honestly: It was modeled in LO/FC/FC2, so I think it's still there and breakable for those god gave enough thrust... :pilotfly:

I'm totally confused now! I stepped back to using the Warthog without TARGET, because of the above mentioned Alt-Tab-Issue. I never had any problems with this configuration, but while flying a squadron-training-session last monday I suddenly had some of the switches on the throttle base change their position (ending up with r-engine off) after alt-tab and return to game. This never happened before, without TARGET. So it looks like it's maybe not TARGET causing the problem, but more the fact that some switches are set up as toggles instead of defining conditions in each switch-position. Hopefully BETA4 will bring some further key-assignments, so I can finish my TARGET-Profile without having to screw around with the .lua-files.

Short OT: There's a MudHen available for FC2. TOMCATZ made one.

That one would really fit into FC2/DCS! Beauty!
