  1. Don't know if I'm having a boring wednesday, but this had me laughing... :music_whistling:
  2. Just to be clear on the issue: The problem as I see it is only that the manual and SFI states that T1 is used for locking a target, while in game one have to use TV, so its no big issue in that sense. I don't have the issue with unlocking the target after. From the OP side, this might have something to do with having to press T0 after locking a target with TV, otherwise you are flying around with TV permanently pressed and the radar will consistently try to lock something. If you have a lock on a target and the radar trigger in T0 position, the lock will remain as long as the target is in certain parameters of the radar elevation/azimuth. If the target is outside those parameters, the radar will return to normal (unlocked) mode again after a few seconds.
  3. I'm bumping this since I have experinced the same thing and still do. Anyone know anything about this?
  4. Ah, good tip! The slider on my WH HOTAS is bound to the gain on the radar, and the scale was heavily offset so when the slider was in the center position the gain was all the way down, even though I hadnt touched the slider. So no bug after all, thats good! Funny thing is that I havent bound the slider to the gain axis, so I dont know if that happened in the patch. Strange... Anyway, case closed and that you for the response Lanc!
  5. It appears as the radar does not provide any signatures/echoes after the update yesterday (10 november) Anyone else noticed the same problem?
  6. I cant help you with the problem unfortunately, but maybe you should change the attached picture to a one with the serial number censored so that your serial number doesn't get hijacked? Just a tip...
  7. Grymt! Will try it out asap! This feature is spot on for the viggen!
  8. Got mine the other day, looks really nice! New favourite t-shirt! ;)
  9. I hope you don't mind if I hijack your thread Devrim, but I am having problems with using the normal programs of the CM system. Quick release (Fast Countermeasure Dispense) works well from the binded key, releasing CM according to program 2 as it should. However, trying to use the little lever/switch on the canopy frame (OFF/INT/KONT) never starts the set program. Anyone else has those problems or am I missing something?
  10. Being nerds is what we're all about! ;) Good info!
  11. Question about the ELINT: I was under the impression that the U22 jammer was required and set in passive mode for the ELINT triangulation to be possible. But as I just realized, ELINT appears to be gathered even without the jammer equipped. Is this correct?
  12. Nice to see how this is implemented! I'm thinking that it also would be nice to be able to change the option mid-mission, for example while rearming at the ground. Is it possible to adapt the in-game loadout screen to have this option there aswell?
  13. I see, gyros is the deal. And the scramble tactics makes sense for going without gyros. Also makes sense. It is all a trade off between functionality and penalties. Thank you for your answers!
  14. Ok, so it still uses accelerometers? Why not integrate the acceleration and then integrate the speed obtained from that integration? This would eliminate the air data errors. And what is the defining difference from a traditional INS? I'm sorry if I'm a bit slow and have missed something obvious here, just curious as to how the system works and why the method of navigation was chosen over traditional INS. :book:
  15. So this differs from traditional INS in that you do not utilize gyros and accelerometers? But I assume one would still have to take heading (compass) and preferably also pitch into account together with the airspeed and time elapsed?
  16. Same problem for me here tonight. Singleplayer works fine, but as soon as I try to join a server I just get a black screen where it normally loads. Have seen the little chat letter symbol at one occasion, so something seems to be happening...
  17. You are definitely right about the rolling adding load to the wing going upwards. Not sure about where the break should occur though, since the overall bending moments will still be at its largest at the root, but however reduced by the rolling state of the aircraft. Without knowing the difference between "normal" wing lift and the added lift coming from aileron deflection, or the wing spar dimensions/material properties at spanwise sections, it is hard to estimate where the wing would actually break. Things tend to get a bit tricky when you consider all factors. I also agree in that doing structural analysis of the wings in realtime would be a bit too CPU demanding... :P But I was under the impression that the PFM of the Su 27 would be complex enough to produce a realistic spanwise lift distribution? I'm thinking that in this case, scripting how the wing breaks would not be that difficult? Might be wrong on this...
  18. As Bushmanni previously stated, bending moments is the cause of wings falling off at high load factors. This means that weapons hanging off the 6 wing pylons actually reduces the bending moments at the root, allowing for higher load factors (if we assume that failures occur at the wing root). This means that the increased gross weight might actually work in favor of higher load factors, depending on where it is located. Has anyone seen that this would be the case in the sim (only carrying missiles/bombs on wing pylons to increase load factor before failure)? P.S. One note on this is that while bending moments are reduced, shear stresses in the wing might be increased and could probably also be a cause of failure. And then also the case of the weapon attachments failure as happens with the MiG-21, but I guess this is not implemented on the SU-27?
  19. You mean in general or for the Yaw SAS to work properly? Flying at those heights will make your IAS slow however. As I mentioned before, if pitot heating is not enabled, that might lead to erroneous speed indications, right?
  20. You might be on to something there guys...Think my IAS was around 130-150 knots, but I probably hadn't enabled pitot heating...did a foul start from the taxiway, and I normally enable pitot heat right before takeoff when rolling onto the runway, so I might have forgotten that! Wrong IAS input would maybe lead to faulty automatic control parameters and thus failure of the Dutch Roll prevention...maybe?
  21. Was out free flying a bit and took the Hog to around angels 34 and engaged the altitude hold autopilot. Didn't take long until I noticed a typical Dutch Roll effect that rather quickly got out of hand and eventually made the autopilot disengage. I had both SAS systems and EAC enabled (don't know if EAC has input on the Dutch Roll prevention though). Can it be that the SAS inputs are off at those extreme altitudes, or what can it be?:huh:
  22. Ok, that answers my question! Thanks for quick reply :)
