Probably not an issue for anyone but myself but I'm unsure if you can throttle the download speed of standalone. Most folks I've talked to say you can't, but for someone like myself it's an absolute requirement. If you can throttle the stand alone download speed I'd like to know, as not being able to is a 100% no-go for me. I top out at 350kb/s download speed and it would take upward of 9 days or so to fully redownload the game with all my maps/modules, and in that time I would be totally unable to realistically use my internet for anything else. This is something that even comes up with updates, as there have been updates that have taken me multiple days to download, especially when maps get added to or messed with. It's an experience, can't wait for Starlink to hit Arkansas.

Glad you understand.

Cow tossing shot-put competitions, lets gooooooooooooo

So, about a week ago I decided to put together as many videos that I could find on either the Corsair (Such as the ZenosWarbirds 'Flying the F4U' video) or generic Navy Training video material as possible into a YouTube playlist. I want to share it with everyone now in hopes of maybe helping people out in the long term. If there are any videos that people think need to be added to the list, please let me know! But at the moment it's sitting at 35 collected videos, and honestly I couldn't find much else to add to it.

I don't know for sure if it'd be any easier, but I'd honestly be fine with a gruff sounding fellow telling me the commands vocally without visual paddles. Not as cool, but probably much easier to get into a 'ready out the door' sort of state. Just please let us change the sounds so that I can make it my wife screaming bloody murder at me.

You're an absolute saint, Rudel. Thank you for indulging me!

I understand you're very busy Rudel, and I'm just being a spaz, but if you have time and want to indulge me I have a slew of random questions. I'll try to sort them in a sensible manner. Heavy Bungee Spring AN 01-45HA-1 page 24 talks about a heavy bungee spring 'on some of these airplanes' that causes a change of trim when the gear is pulled down. Is that the big coiled spring that's visible on the front of the landing gear handle? If it's not, is our F4U-1D going to be equipped with one? Takeoff Power AN 01-45HA-1 page 35 mentions a modification done to some aircraft to allow 2800 RPM/54" Hg takeoff power. It also mentions there needing to be a placard placed in the cockpit of aircraft that have been modified as such. I'm assuming ours won't be able to achieve that power takeoff, as I don't see the placard anywhere. Is that accurate? Prop Pull thru Other sims have a prop pull thru animation modeled, will we have one as well? Very understandable if we don't. Rocket Safety Plug Will the rocket safety plug be modeled? It's visually in the cockpit pics that have been posted, and plugged in, but a lot of procedures involve removing it to double (triple if you include master arm itself) safety the rockets. I was curious if you plan on having it be removable, and if so will it just be a click on/off model into the rocket station distributor box. AN 01-45HA-1 page 58 for those following along with my manual shenanigans. Signal Pistol Going to assume that this one is tossed? Seeing as how we're not Other Sim #2, but I'm curious nonetheless. I think that's all of them that I can think of off the top of my head, forgive me for being overly excited. Or don't, since you'll be getting my money soon enough, hopefully.

Absolutely fascinating. Obviously not a huge priority, but maybe one day we could get that function added. Thanks Rudel!

I'm not actually sure if that's the correct name for the device, but just go with me here, and heck the video reference I've found could just be a bit of movie magic shenanigans but... In this video, and at this moment of it, you can see the F6F Hellcat has a pull out map plotting table. https://youtu.be/a7pH6CQcGMU?list=PLVCxSRGBIGiuWRQTdlDf8zv6NkalW3AXt&t=454 Then, in this recent screenshot you can see something that looks like that navigation table pushed in underneath the instrument panel. https://leatherneck-sim.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Screen_220106_233855.png I'm going to expect the answer is 'no you can't pull it out.' Despite that, I remain hopeful that maybe one day we will be able to. Maybe with a little map that we could draw on (or just act like a sort of pseudo kneeboard for your map pages.)

+1 but it would be better to just do away with various types of weapon in zone varieties and make a catchall for any weapons or gunfire in a zone, moving or otherwise.

I have it as well, hopefully fixed soon.

Yeah, this guy has a point. The Mi-8, Mi-24, UH-1H, CE2, Gazelle, A-10A & C, C-101, Yak-52, and the L-39 are all just random outliers and don't count in any way. Tactical Fighter Simulator confirmed. PBY would be fun, and gets a +1 from me.

The term originates in Live Action Role Play, a sort of nerd pass time where you build weapons out of pvc and pool noodles to bash each other around with at the park. Sometimes people will go nuts and buy armor and whatnot as well. A good way to view it in this context is 'playing pretend.' Source: I've been a nerd with a pool noodle stick beating up other nerds with pool noodle sticks, it's pretty fun, until someone falls into a fire ant mound. Then it's a party.

I don't know about for the S-24s, but my personal practice attack with bombs is to do 250kph approaches, pop up to 100 meters radalt and do a short count to 3 after the target passes out of view under the nose, then release. 120 meters for fab-500s, but otherwise about the same. Takes some feeling out, but lets you stay very mobile.

+1, but require the helicopter to be shut down to do so.
