I was talking to a naval aviator buddy and he mentioned that the carrier will give out a time hack during case III operations. I know our planes are always hacked because it’s a sim, but I figured I’d see if I could figure out how it would be done IRL. I started digging in the natops and found this(see below) The issue is when I select the minutes the natops says the seconds zero out (they do) and time freezes, but the seconds in the hud keep ticking away, and when I exit time set mode the seconds continue as if they were never zeroed. I could be doing something wrong. Just thought I would mention just in case it is accually wrong and maybe you could squeeze it in between the way more important stuff. Thanks.

Think you got it backwards. Wherever the bullseye has been placed that day, the flight would just add that location as a waypoint. It’s not the flight’s call where bullseye is placed

All this can I fly it talk reminds me of this... https://www.google.com/amp/s/foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-tale-of-when-a-marine-mechanic-stole-an-a-4-skyhawk-1745015819/amp

Man that’s a bummer. I think those videos were a bit more “intimate” view of carrier aviation then most people were used to seeing. Easy to see why internet white knights would jump to un-informed conclusions. Thank you for your service brother.

I’m pretty sure ATC for approach is WIP

I understand this. I was only asking if it’s accurate. As of now the JHMCS symbology overlays the MFDs when “heads down”. Just seems intuitive that it would blank on its own. I have no IRL knowledge of this and my only frame of reference is other combat sims. So if the devs say its correct I’m inclined to believe them. Are you referring to the the real system or the sim because as of now thats not how my beta version behaves

I’ve been nerding out on the JHMCS lately. I was browsing the net and stumbled upon a paper written by a navy pilot about using the System in the CAS role. https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=3359&context=utk_gradthes

That’s what I figured also. Hope to see it fixed in due time.

Is the JHMCS supposed to stay “on” when looking in the cockpit other then at the HUD, or is it supposed to blank anytime you are not looking outside the cockpit? It’s easy enough to click off, just wondering if this is how it really behaves.

Ok I’m at work so Il do my best to explain in semi shorthand without just being confusing. I used the the target GUI and created an advanced profile. You move along to the controller profile and see an up/down & left/right arrows over the tdc axis on the stick. Click on those. A arrow will show up under where you input the key. I moved the slider in that arrow to within 1% of the edges of the axis (this keeps the TDc from wondering when not touching the axis). You have to do this for all 4 corresponding tdc key inputs. Works just like an axis as far as I can tell. That’s as much as I can think to break it down through a wall of text. Gl

I did using target software for my warthog.

I havnt seen it either. My guess is it’s not implemented yet. I believe there is supposed to be cursor bearing and range info also. I think there is a way to toggle all this on and off on the data page I think.

The problem with the atflir is it’s basically useless in weather. One of the coolest uses I heard of the ground radar in the hornet was to compensate for the lack of ILS. Basically the pilot designates the end of the runway using the radar, then flies runway heading and 3 degree glide slope off the designation through the weather.

Noticed in the flight demo there where pylons on the aircraft. Slick aircraft planned? Thanks team, keep making dreams come true.

So far the Vapor effects are looking great I also think a bit a of wobble during weapon release, turbulence and high alpha would be a nice addition.

Only guess I have would be to Check and see if the engine cutoff on the throttle is lifted.

I personally think a ground radar still has some uses. TGP is great if you have an idea where to point it with either intel or FAC/JTAC help. A ground radar would be useful in a killbox scenario like the one used in dessert storm. Where if it moves it’s a target. The radar would be able to cover much more area.

Good info. Thank you.

So I’m super pumped for the upcoming harrier, and am watching preview videos for the third and fourth time when I noticed something. Let me preface by saying I completely understand all things alpha/beta and do not normally ask questions like this about modules that are not even released. Since Razbam has been great about communicating about what is WIP I’d figure I’d give it a go. In each of the videos that have been released I noticed that the “cross” that is supposed to indicate the camera gimble limits is always in the same place. I seem to remember the Maverick symbology being a bit off even in the A-10C but I do remember the cross giving the pilot a decent idea as to how the camera is oriented toward the target. I’m not going to pretend I have a lot of technical knowledge on the subject, so this half inquiry and half observation. Is this something in the works or is it just the way it is? Thanks. Obligatory pic from the manual with the cross in the same spot.

Not that’s pretty cool Are they animated?

Is there any benefit to adjusting the curve using this method as opposed to just adding a dead zone at the top end of the curve to match the detent to mil power? Been using this method for years.

Well here's to hopng, just seems it would of been easier to state that upfront rather then leaving it open for interpretation. At this point the whole ordeal just seems a bit bizarre. Oh well

Hmm..with to the additions to the thread title, it really gave the impression that they had this thing dialed in. Either this info is being taken out of context or something drastic has changed the priorities.

No one here browsing these forums ever really knows what happens in these cases. Safe to assume the ones that do most likely won't say. Just didn't work out for now.

Living in southern california I was wasn't really aware of how awesome and dangerous the weather can become until I started working in my pilot license. Icing, microbursts, and high density altitudes are some of the most sinister to light aircraft pilots. I've flown over all sorts of different variety of bodies of water. Mostly without any noticable effect on the plane. However I have noticed on hot days over a cool body of water as the air over the water warms and rises quickly and creates some rough turbulence at lower altitudes. This can be avoided by flying over the blotchy clouds that usually form.
