Okay, so the clear stiff up as its already going in the weeds unnecessarily. The stop trans is to check internal feeding to make sure the feeds and both wings xfer properly. Also, wear and tear on the CFT xfer pumps. That’s it in a nutshell. In the DCS world, all of that will always work and nothing goes bad. Choose to do it or not based on your needs to imitate real life.

Dont over-g. Simple solution. There is a single beeper, double beeper, and betty to tell you when to stop. The damage model is set as such that you need to go well above the G limit in order to immediately cause damage.

Nope…other way around actually. The BDU needs removed.

Yeah, I could understand that. Its a coupling. So pushing aft and side to side would be believable to an extent. Dragging would not. Dont remember the force disconnect pressure, but its not that much…for good reason.

The thoughts of that really being a thing is likely vastly overblown. Ref same pod cast above. Pilots still have IRL problems coming off the boom. Probably one of the best DCS procedures is to not still in the same pos the boom first hooks up at. Move fwd and pad the room you have before you get too far away and disconnect. There is room to guve yourself a better range for error.

Your track wont show up for me in my replay list.....

start at 33:00. Bow comments around 36:00

Listen to the AB podcast (on of the more recent ones). The ex -16 guy who now flies with FANG in charlies has directly commented on the exact issue. Likely why the common sight picture doesnt focus on using the lights. send your hate to Boeing, since McD is no longer.

You spiked way past 8....you got what you earned....nothing there.

Guessing he’s referring to the decel before acel…which is perfectly fine.

Yeah, I can only laugh about this.

Well hopefully your joy can somehow raise the amount of explosive in them otherwise…you might be disappointed. And she not fat. She not even big boned.

It is

So a penetrator that will be useful for nothing DCS offers. Just because it weighs more doesnt mean anything.

That the real one is a minimal movement/force sensing and that one is made as a rotary switch. I understand that the force sensing would likely be cost prohibitive, but DX buttons would have been a much better/closer to realistic option. I do not own either of them. The two things that would have probably gotten me to bite on them would have been that switch being better implemented, and their finger lifts having actual DX button functionality too. A bonus would have been the radio switch being updated from the 2 direction slide to the 4-way which happened when they added the extra radio...but that wouldn't have made/break it for me.

100%. I’ll reiterate, my previous posts were not me trying to dissuade anyone from buying it. I’ve got better things to do with my time. Personally, my only real disappointment in it is the way the amt elev functionality is done.

You are looking at something that you dont know what you are looking at. Its modeled.

Elevation wheel operates differently, multifunction switch is different (not 5 way), additional buttons on the left grip not present on the real one, coolie is different (not 5 way). Ergonomically, the design is close, but the functions are different in a few ways. Not saying it's good or bad as it's their way of adding additional buttons on the stick, but it's not what I would classify as being exact as their was either intent there, or a misunderstanding of how they operate IRL. People should understand they are not getting an exact replica.

Okay then. It’s pretty far away from ‘exact’. Happy?

‘Exact replica’ is a stretch. There are notable differences between them.

Yup, my post wasn't directed at you per say, just quoted and added context of how it got to where it got.

I can invite you to go fwd and lat stick in both the C and the E in DCS and see what awaits you. Can assure you it doesnt turn out well. Haha.

What’s the consensus on what its supposed to be? Its original development was built to make unstable aircraft stable. What more is the expectation of it? The -15 is inherently stable on its own in most cases, but also has CAS for some of the same reasons when it may not be as happy.

Keep in mind that there are still ‘ideas’ in the bullpen for stuff like that. Just have to stay tuned to see what can be developed as time goes on.

Fuel/oil…it can all be problematic. In the state its in, you have a chance for recovery vs bearing seizing for example, which could be catastrophic. Same as over-g modeling (stressing the wing tip vs flat ripping the wing off). There was some actual forethought put into what could be considered ‘fair’ from a gameplay perspective when limits get exceeded.
