Yeah, not being an actual F/A-18 pilot helps not being on the glideslope, but that really has nothing to do with the touchdown. It is doable was the point.

War sucks, doesn't it?

Thank you for the wonderful surprise. (Pre-)purchased!

OK

Aerobraking is keeping the flaps down, gentle pressure on the brakes, and pulling the stick/yoke back (or similar set of actions to increase aerodynamic braking, *after* all wheels are on the ground). If the nose is up, executing this action may not do what you want in a bad way (porpoising).

One could make an external FLOLS indicator and use it instead of relying on the in-game one (which is invisible on the boat, and looks quite ugly as the overlay).

There are many definitions, but in essence, it's landing at such speed (air, gs, vertical), that the nose of the aircraft remains up after the main wheels have already touched-down. If you take a look the infamous "Air Force vs Navy" video clip, that F-16 did a flared landing, while the F/A-18 pilot did not.

Jogging: Unrestricted: 10km/h Restricted: 15km/h Restriction: must have 5 km/h tailwind. This is how I would rather interpret unrestricted/restricted.

I think that Navy pilot flew my last Delta flight.

You can configure external switch' controller to send two signals on button press: one to operate a virtual guard, the other one to press the underlying button.

Also, make sure your radio altimeter warning altitude is set. If it's not set, RALT won't engage.

My understanding (which is often inaccurate) is that this is an expected and correct, albeit annoying, behavior with Mavericks loaded.

Doh. This is the one I meant

You push the castle switch (TDC priority) forward, that moves the diamond to the HUD. If you don't have it mapped to your controls, there is a keyboard shortcut that I can't recall from memory.

TDC up, and you can slew it there.

Are you, perhaps, using an external tool that could be mapping axis input to keystrokes or something like that?

This looks like an ME issue, not F/A-18 one.

Not in the last few days, no

I love AAR - it's a learning that's incredibly rewarding. Here's a bit long video of one of mine (if you are bored with just flying, AAR is at 10m10s:

Similarly to the S3 bug here: I noticed that F/A-18C also seem to disregard statics. Screenshots and track attached. Statics.trk

I could be wrong, but isn't JDAM alignment just making sure they're on for 90 seconds?

I was unable to reproduce this. I tried a few times at various VS. Perhaps it only happens on the carrier? Gear Smash.trk

Aye. The assumption is that they are being worked out. While, of course, they may be, we as users have little to no evidence that, in fact, they are :-). That being said, noone here will persuade anyone else, and the conversation is likely no longer constructive. I have my wallet to voice the opinions with :-).

Honestly... not the way to talk to paying customers, you know :-). Especially the ones who are not too unreasonable. I even called out a specific bug that remains unfixed since... well... the actual release. It's not an obscure or invisible one. It's a very tangible one. Not cool, man. Not. Cool.

That's why we, the consumers, can vote with our wallets
