    You know what? Still playing around and I am noticing easy blackout. It definitely happens after more than a second over around 8G. Training and adrenaline shouldn't let that happen. If our theoretical pilot is some kind of frontline USAF Viper pilot, then they should have better G tolerance than presented currently.

    Again, how smoothly you come on with the G's makes a big difference. This may even be reflective of the real world. Just been doing some BFM practice and a sudden hard pull at high speeds with start to black out around 7.5G. Keeping it smooth and beating the banding, I see that at some point I maxed out at 9.6G, which would ground the plane for extra inspection in real life, but I didn't black out. PS, it also seems that after the last couple of updates, the Viper can momentarily peak at a higher G. I think it was 9.2, now it seems to be 9.6. Be subtle, be smooth, and let the plane rate! You can't just sit inside the bandit's turn like you can with a Hornet. You have to be dynamic, and make big fast arcs. Two circle rate fight implies these big turns may even start out turning away from the bandit, so visual contact is also key.

    I can't actually see what's different with the RWR after last update. I guess the font is a little bigger, but what does it mean that it prioritizes threats a certain way? Because I'll be trying to look in the direction of a MiG spike and it will get replaced in my HMD, at least momentarily, with E3 or AE if that is stronger, and those are friendly systems in the scenario.

    Patch not downloading. Errors with Steam and something about dll files? Edit: restart fixed it (even though I had just started the computer). Might have been AVG update, maybe something else. Works fine now.

    I am having a similar problem through Steam with a different dll file. Did something get nerfed in the update? Edit: restart fixed it (even though I had just started the computer). Might have been AVG update, maybe something else. Works fine now.

    Move the TDC left and right till it locks. It might need the TGP/Radar as the SOI to lock. IDK, I can luck moving it 1 way then the other.

    Keep in mind that the system models how quickly you are piling on the G's. A sudden increase in G load will black you out quicker than gradual. Try to be smooth. Because of the high speed rate turning of the F-16, it's a little more cat and mouse against an opponent than something like the Hornet which can just slow down and stay inside the bandit's turn. Work on letting the aircraft run a bit and not pulling hard and jerky on the stick. But yeah, I little more 9G tolerance might be better to simulate a trained and experienced and in shape Viper pilot. Not sure if setting the green lever to PBG does anything in game. IRL it forces more air with G's.

    Yeah, the book implies there's some kind of built in ILS that they used to shoot the approach, but maybe they just held the markpoint at the 2.5 line on the HUD. I think the version in the book is a later version though, so maybe it's got some more nav aids built in.

    No one? Was it a fluke?

    Sorry, meant to reply to this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YGZL8XF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is my first experience with a "gaming monitor" and I'm pretty impressed. First screen I've ever had where I didn't have to turn the brightness up all the way. In fact, it was one of the first things I did and it was like staring at lightbulb! Don't think I see any IPS glow, either.

    so, It seems like there's a way the carrier will delay its turn when flights are inbound, but I couldn't figure out how to do it again. Anyone?

    No one's working on SE Asia?

    Really rather lame that Qatar was left out.

    Night time in this game is really disappointing. Not to mention the night sky. Operation Flashpoint had a proper night sky over 20 years ago. Even now, the Arma engine still takes date, time, lat, long into account and makes the proper night sky.

    It looks like most PVE servers would be find with it, actually. For those of you who use Reshade: Get a gaming monitor. I stopped using it after I got this LG that has it's own post processing like sharpen filter and other things. It's great. Don't have to wait for another app to load and it makes everything look good.
  17. SickSidewinder9
    Interesting. Do you find most servers allowing it or no? Mixed bag?
  18. SickSidewinder9
    I think it was a recent Grim Reapers video on YouTube. Or maybe someone else's.
  19. SickSidewinder9
    What does that mean? Works, but doesn't pass pure client scripts or something?
  20. SickSidewinder9
    this mod does not pass IC?
  21. SickSidewinder9
    Still requires FC3? I thought I heard it was stand alone now.
  22. SickSidewinder9
    looks awesome. Where do I get it?
  23. SickSidewinder9
    bump. it's not there.
  24. SickSidewinder9
    Is there a way to make a user livery like this the default/replacement (without breaking IC)?
  25. SickSidewinder9
    Really annoying that it's not fixed yet. It's not a simple if/then or try/case to add? The problem with setting to an unused WP is that it breaks the FPAS and then I don't seem to be able to reset and use it again. Or I can't set a new Home. Whichever it was. Functions break.
