  1. Rainmaker's post in A2A Radar Training Mission - No Contacts, Confusing Narration was marked as the answer   
    Looks kinda like you are on stable judging by the caret in the center of the screen.  Stable currently has a known bug where the radar does not scan. 
  2. Rainmaker's post in Possible feed tank bug was marked as the answer   
    They are designed to be that way. One holds more fuel than the other. They would eventually balance out, but not until they are draining below full. Its a known thing/not implemented yet. 
  3. Rainmaker's post in Fuel is not transferring from EXT' WING/CTR FUEL TANK to CFT. was marked as the answer   
    yes...incon valves powered closed
  4. Rainmaker's post in Air-to-Air Radar Not Working was marked as the answer   
    Stable version bug. Known issue. Have to use Beta or wait for next patch. 
  5. Rainmaker's post in Problem with speed brake not being overridden in RCP while playing multi-crew. was marked as the answer   
    Problem?  No
    Limitation?  Most likely. 
     
    There is really no need to be worrying about that sort of function anyway. 
  6. Rainmaker's post in F-15E Flame out/Restart not working was marked as the answer   
    I do not know.  Sorry. IIRC, sub 400 KCAS is a good start. And waiting till RPM is below about 30% is advised. 
  7. Rainmaker's post in Stability issues was marked as the answer   
    Over-G damage most likely. The resolution is to not due things that cause aiframe damage. 
  8. Rainmaker's post in Entering Initial Position During INS Alignment was marked as the answer   
    Changed a few patches ago to be better in line with what you would see in the real jet normally. The coords can still be overridden with coords from the kneeboard, and should to get the most accurate PP.  The jet will have previous coords, but there is ‘error’ built in. Up to the pilot to make the decision to update or, in the case of not needing to be 100% accurate, fly with what’s already loaded  to the INS.

    Electrical
    - HOLDING BRAKE should be released at throttle idle or higher, but not.
    -- Three, brake hold does not work that way. Brake hold is functional at all throttle settings. Correct as implemented
    --- However, one of the things you said is wrong.
    This is the first sentence in the TAXIING paragraph of T.O 1F-15E-1 SECTION 2 NORMAL PROCEDURE.
    "As the throttles are moved out of idle, confirm that the holding brake switch goes OFF and that the holding brake is released."
    Please check again and hope the holing brake bug is fixed.
    I am not wrong.  Wanna know how I know that?  I was part of the team that removed that feature 2 decades ago.  There is a splice under the t-quad in the front seat that completely removed the t-quad from the system.  Again, not a bug in any way, shape, or form.

    Engine
    - RDY LIGHT is OFF during JFS Engage. It must remain on during operation.
    --First is correct as is. It does not remain on. That is incorrect.
    --- This is the JFS Ready Light description in the SECONDARY POWER SYSTEM paragraph of T.O 1F-15E-1 SECTION 2 DISCRIPTION.
    "JFS Ready Light
    The JFS ready light is in the front cockpit on the right console engine control panel. The light indicates the JFS is running. The light goes out when the JFS shuts down."
    It is correct that it should be on during operation, and READY LIGHT should be turned off after SHUT DOWN. I've never experienced this in a real aircraft.
    Negative, it does not mean that.  The ready light means that the JFS is ready for engagement and has reached the proper idle speed.  Once the CGB engages, and the JFS accelerates, that is no longer the condition and the light goes out until both of those conditions are corrected.
     
    - After starting, the fuel flow is over 1700. limit over. It is the same even if you retard after throttle advance. The limit is 200~1600.
    -- 3 Is a no. That is not a limitation. That is book notation for probable flux, mostly for the left engine anomaly that can occur at low fuel flows. Has nothing to do with limits
    --- This is precisely specified in SECTION V OPERATION LIMIT, and the symptoms are displayed identically on the left and right sides. Seeing that the value added by about 200 from the limit value is displayed, it seems to be related to the starting value of 200 degrees.
    Again, I know exactly where the 200-1600 figure comes from, and why it was added to the manual.  And no, completely unrelated to the FTIT.  The EMD low limit on FTIT was 200 minimum and changed down the road to be 0-XXXX.
     
    - If press the Eng' fire push button, the rpm should drop gradually, but it suddenly turns off at once.
    -- 4 Is only a probability. No Guarantee of fire. Damage model implementations are constantly be improved. 5 Engine shutdown can be anywhere from a burp or belch to a complete shutdown. There is no rule there. Have seen all the above IRL.
    --- The FCF has a procedure to shut down the engine by pressing the fire push button after landing. There is information that the fuel shutoff valve installed in the aircraft can operate below IDLE RPM while burning fuel. Actually it is. Please check again.
    I have first-hand experience with this in real life.  I stated what I stated because of it.  The fire push button and engine master both shut off fuel at the same place.  Have dealt with both intentional and inadvertent shutdowns using both of those procedures.  Once fuel is cut, there is leftover fuel between the main shutoff valve and the motor.  How the motor deals with that fuel is case by case.  Some will fluctuate before shutting down, some will shut down basically without notice.  Have real world experience with seeing both scenarios

    Hydraulic
    - When the speed brake operates, HYD' PRESSURE is handled by UTY A, so only UTY should change, but PC1 and PC2 also change.
    --It depends. Hydraulic system fluxes are basic/artificial in nature at the moment as the aircraft is in early access.
    ---In normal cases, a switchover from PC1 or PC2 to UTY does not occur. Also, the switchover operates only when there is a drop in pressure, which does not fit the operating principle.
    "Hydraulic system fluxes are basic/artificial in nature at the moment as the aircraft is in early access."
     
     
  14. Rainmaker's post in Wrong Engine Display Shown During Cold Start Training? was marked as the answer   
    Check axis assignments. 
     
    Off to idle is not engagement. That should be a different key strike all together.  
  15. Rainmaker's post in TGP Laser says Safe even though its armed was marked as the answer   
    Chances are you were above 25,000 feet. 
  16. Rainmaker's post in Hud in command was marked as the answer   
    That is correct behavior at this time.
  17. Rainmaker's post in Can't switch on radios prior to engine start was marked as the answer   
  18. Rainmaker's post in AG Radar Designate wrong elevation was marked as the answer   
    This will happen if the active steer point altitude does not match the actual terrain level of the target.  The radar uses the nav system for terrain elevation calculations.  You went after a target that was at a higher elevation than your active steer point, hence the offset.
  19. Rainmaker's post in ACMI not available during loadout was marked as the answer   
    Was temp removed due to bugs with the jettison system (you can find reports of that in the forums), the ones we tried to prevent.  Unfortunately, it still ended up in a few left-over missions where it shouldn't have been.
  20. Rainmaker's post in After loading weapons they dont appear in the MPD was marked as the answer   
    They have to be reloaded in the PACS.  Razbam video and manual should cover that process.  It is a feature 
  21. Rainmaker's post in Cannot Select Other Steerpoint After Base Selected was marked as the answer   
    Correct behavior. Need to include route letter. IE 1A
  22. Rainmaker's post in RCP ICS/RWR/CMD Switch issues was marked as the answer   
    There will likely be some sort of process in the future to allow user changes I would imagine.  Ideally, through ED's DTM/DTC/DTwhatever cartridge system that is not in place yet.  For right now, they are defined in the CMD's LUA file.
  23. Rainmaker's post in Left and right MFD's not exporting to second/third monitor was marked as the answer   
    This is already noted in change log of the patch. 
  24. Rainmaker's post in GBU-28 malfunctions in mission "Bombing Range Demo" was marked as the answer   
    -28 should not be a available. Its a mission bug 
  25. Rainmaker's post in CDIP Pipper staying on Horizon line was marked as the answer   
    I just made a post on this in general forums. Need to be below 750 AGL for symbology to work. Unknown why, but that’s the way it is currently.
